Excellent- More about The Tomb of the Vizier Re'-wer at Saqqara
The tomb of Re‘-wer is located in the Old Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara, beside the pyramid of Teti. It was re-excavated and partly restored in 1975–7 and comprises a paved courtyard within a temenos containing a rectangular chapel tomb. It is unusual in having two false doors in the west wall and is adorned with inscriptions and reliefs. The author suggests that the tomb dates to the reign of Pepi I and discusses indications for the personality, family situation, and official position of Re‘-wer.

The tomb of Re'wer is located in the south-eastern corner of the mortuary temple of King Teti, the first king of the 6th Dynasty, near the pyramid of Teti in the Old Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara. Excavations in 1906-7 and the early 1920s were not published, and the tomb was re-excavated and partly restored in 1975-7. It consisted of a paved courtyard within a temenos containing the rectangular chapel tomb, with surviving structures built of fine quality limestone blocks in inner and outer walls. It is unusual in having two false doors in the west wall. The roof was missing. Nothing was recovered from a burial shaft close to the tomb. The walls and false doors are adorned with inscriptions and reliefs. This facsimile reissue of Said el-Fikey's detailed description of the surviving structure, decoration, and transcription of the inscriptions is accompanied by a full set of photographs and illustrations. No biographical text survived, and the author considers the possible date of the tomb in relation to the adjacent architecture and the style of the reliefs, concluding that it most likely dates to the reign of Pepi I. He discusses indications for the personality, family situation, and official position of Re'wer, which may suggest that he was the father of a wife of King Pepi and that both were disgraced for some reason.
