by Wahid Omran (Author)
The El-Salamuni mountain, the main necropolis of Akhmim during the Graeco-Roman period, is still relatively intact and largely archaeologically unexplored. This book contains the first contextual data of El-Salamuni. It examines the great heritage significance of the necropolis, its topography, the history of its investigation, as well as the special characteristics of the funerary art and burial customs in the necropolis..The text also documents the mountain's painted tombs: C1 (the so-called Tomb of von Bissing 1897) and C3, which show a mixture of Egyptian-Roman art. Conservation work was conducted in Tomb C1 to remove debris, clean soot off its walls and ceilings, as well as reconstruct the vulnerable and damaged sections. Magnificent scenes were uncovered. A full photogrammetric documentation is provided of both tombs with their architectural layouts.
