Naguib Kanawati is Distinguished Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Ancient History and Director of the Australian Centre for Egyptology Macquarie University Sydney. He obtained his PhD in Egyptology from Macquarie University and has spent his career teaching Egyptian archaeology in New Zealand and Australian universities, specialising in the Old and Middle Kingdoms.

This is the last volume reporting on the unusually rich tomb of Mereruka and his family. The pillared hall, A13, is the largest room in the chapel, containing many interesting themes, including the funerary procession, the voyage to the south, the transportation by a palanquin, the harvesting of grain and the pulling of papyrus ceremony. Mereruka's burial chamber is the most majestic and best preserved among those of private individuals of the Old Kingdom. Includes 50 folded line drawings.
