The Theban Tomb TT19 is located in Dra' Abu el-Naga', part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Amenmose,[1] who was the high priest of Amenhotep of the Forecourt (Amenhotep I) during the early Nineteenth Dynasty and lived up to the reign of Seti I.[citation needed]
Amenmose's wife Iuy was Chantress of Amun(-Re in Karnak) and Chief of the Harem of Amenhotep I. Amenmose and Iu's sons Beknay and Panefernekhu are depicted in the tomb. Beknay is a wab-priest and Lector of Amenhotep I. Panefernekhu is depicted performing the opening of the mouth ceremony.
The tomb festivals of Amenhotep I are depicted and scenes include statues and barques of Amenhotep I and his mother queen Ahmose Nefertari. The tomb also contains a scene showing Amenhotep and a priest before two rows of kings and queens.
