The tomb of Senneferi is one of the "Tombs of the Nobles" on the West Bank at Luxor in Egypt, commonly referred to as Thebes, its Greek name, by Egyptologists. The officials buried in these tombs formed the elite of the society of Thebes, and the Tomb at Sennefer -- known by many as the "Tomb of the Vines" due to its ornately decorated ceiling -- is "one of the very few decorated chambers known in Thebes." This Website offers history on the tomb and its inhabitants, photographs and an explanation of its architecture and ornamentation, a "dig diary," a bibliography of relevant publications, a slide show and virtual reality tour (Quicktime VR) as well as a site index and search engine. The site, maintained by Cambridge archaeologist Nigel Strudwick, is geared to be of use to both the layperson and the professional archaeologist.
