For me, archaeology is not a just a job. It combines everything that I could want - imagination, intellect, action, and adventure.

The tomb of Mereruka

The tomb of Mereruka, located at the cemetery of Saqqara, is one of the most beautifully decorated tombs in the Old Kingdom. The mastaba is located near the Teti Pyramid and is decorated with many unique scenes including Mereruka painting the four seasons and many interesting wildlife scenes.
