Khnumhotep I was the first governor of the Oryx nome during Egypt's
formative Twelfth Dynasty. Appointed by Amenemhat I, his tomb at Beni
Hassan is one of the most significant for its insights on a pivotal
period in Egyptian history. For the first time since Newberry's
publication in 1893, a record of the tomb and its preserved scenes and
inscriptions is provided in color photographs and detailed line
drawings. The report includes a description of the tomb's architecture,
its various scenes on daily life, desert-hunting and militaristic
activities, as well as a new copy and translation of Khnumhotep I's
biography.
