A Guardian in the tomb chapel of the High Priest of Thoth, Petosiris, at Tuna el-Gebel

This tomb takes the architectural form of a Ptolemaic Period temple, and displays a mixture of Hellenistic and Egyptian art styles. Although built for Petosiris, the tomb actually became the burial place for three generations of his family.

The Catacombs of Tuna el-Gebel

The site of Tuna el-Gebel in Middle Egypt was known to the Greeks as Hermopolis. In the southern part of the site there is an animal necropolis. Mummified ibises and baboons, associated with the god Thoth, were buried here in their thousands in subterranean galleries, similar to the burials of the Apis bulls at Saqqara
