TT100

The Theban Tomb TT100 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the mortuary chapel of the ancient Egyptian vizier Rekhmire. There is no burial chamber next to this chapel. The vizier's tomb is elsewhere, perhaps even in the Valley of the Kings. Rekhmire's tomb is important both because of its numerous painted reliefs and because it outlines the "Duties of the Vizier" which involved dealing with managing state taxation and the state treasury, remaining impartial and avoiding favouritism as judges and enforcers of the pharaoh's orders in trials, managing the temple's economies, appointing high state and religious officials and managing the proper performance of religious rituals all in accordance with Maat (the ancient Egyptian concepts of truth, balance, order, harmony, law, morality).
