The Theban Tomb TT83 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian official, Amethu called Ahmose, who was the Governor of the town and Vizier. Amethu called Ahmose dates to the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, from the time of Tuthmosis III.[1]
The tomb was known in the 19th century when the Egyptologist Sir John Gardiner Wilkinson lived in the tomb in the 1820s.[2]
