This talk will give us an insight into the findings and conservation process of the tomb of Puimra, the second prophet of Amun, from the XVIII Dynasty of Egypt.聽

The tomb, located at the Nobles Valley of Western Thebes, has different ways of understanding. Puimra, established his last homeward on a specific point over the sacred dromos, where the pilgrimage coming from Karnak to the Deir el Bahri temples made a stop on the route. According to recent studies, this particular location was selected with the aim to become one of the most significant sights of the path.聽

Thus, we believe the prophet, also an architect, added some features to the tomb in order to create a different construction. The extension of the architectural program and some other criteria shows an intention to convert this tomb into a funerary temple.

In the same way, the artistic and built features of the tomb are based on a scaling method, like the metric system, which gives its aesthetics proportions and provides it with more unique features.
