Tomb of Mehku and Sabni

This is a joint tomb of a father and son. Both were governors of Upper Egypt of the 6th dynasty during the Old Kingdom.



Mekhu was killed during a military campaign in Nubia.



The reliefs show how Sabni led the army into Nubia to punish the tribe responsible and brought back his father's body.
