Pediamenopet, also: Padiamenopea, Petamenophis, Padiamenope, Padiamenipet or Petamenofi, was the original resident of the tomb TT33 located at el-Assasif, in Egypt's Theban Necropolis. His tomb is the largest non-royal site in the necropolis. Pediamenopet was a royal scribe and chief lector priest. He served one or more pharaohs during the 25th and 26th dynasties, and he amassed enough wealth and power to build a labyrinthine tomb covered with hundreds of meters of frescoes and hieroglyphs.〔Amunirdis Research weblog, 2009-02-05 ()〕 ==Tomb== Pediamenopet’s burial site, designated as TT33, was deemed to be of interest since Egyptologists uncovered it in the 19th century. It is located near the Nile river on the site of Deir el-Bahari and is larger than those of the famous pharaohs of the necropolis. TT33 has 22 rooms connected by long corridors and deep shafts. It is spread over 3 levels descending to 20 meters below ground level, and includes numerous hieroglyphic scripts. During 2004–2005, University of Strasbourg professor Dr. Claude Traunecker explored the chambers of the huge tomb. The official reopening was attended by notable officials from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and by other archaeologists working in the area, among them Francesco Tiradritti. Further planned work will concentrate on the cleaning, restoration and conservation of the ''Tomb 33'' which has been engraved with many important writings, such as the ''Book of the Dead''.〔Egyptology News weblog, Dec. 2005 ()〕 Several ushabti belonging to Pediamenopet are known; all of these are broken, presumably for some magical reason.〔Caption of the ushabti, from The Archeological Civic Museum (MCA) of Bologna.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pediamenopet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
