The Theban Tomb TT33 is located in El-Assasif, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the Ancient Egyptian Pediamenopet, who was Prophet and Chief Lector Priest during the 26th Dynasty.[1]
Discovered with the Nineteenth Century. Located not far from Deir el-Bahari, it is larger than most of the more famous pharaohs tombs of the necropolis. It is composed of twenty-two rooms connected by long corridors and distributed on three levels being inserted up to twenty meters below the level of the ground. [2]
