Davies Norman de Garris. The Tomb of Puyemrê at Thebes: Volume 2: The Chapels of Hope

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1923. — 259 p. — (Publications of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Egyptian Expedition; Robb de Peyster Tytus memorial series 3).The tomb which forms the subject-matter of these volumes (No. 39 in the official list of Theban tombs) was hewn out for himself in the opening years of Thothmes the Third's independent reign by one Puyemre, who, earlier in his career as second priest of Amon, had been responsible to Queen Hatshepsut for the construction of the outworks of her temple. As Daga, vizier of Mentuhotep, many centuries before, had chosen a tomb from which he could survey at close distance the temple and the dromos which he had helped to construct for that king, so Puyemre selected, farther down the same valley, a site which commanded in some degree the processional road and buildings of the queen, associated with his name even to this day by his signature on the masonry.
