TT250

Theban Tomb 250 (TT250) is an ancient Egyptian tomb attributed to the scribe Ramose in the necropolis of Deir el-Medina, one of the areas of the Tombs of the Nobles in the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, Egypt. The tomb dates to the Nineteenth Dynasty, during the reign of Ramesses II. It was formerly attributed to Neferhotep and to Amenmes. Its traditional name, the "tomb of the female servants", comes from the female mummies shown in its decoration; the most recent interpretation sees TT250 as a tomb for the women around Ramose or his wife Mutemwia. Ramose was one of the most important figures known from Deir el-Medina; more than one hundred monuments mention him or were dedicated to him. Two other tombs in the same necropolis are attributed to him, TT7 and TT212; TT7 is interpreted as his personal tomb, while TT212 remained at an early stage of work. The Theban Necropolis was used for burials of nobles and officials connected with the royal houses, especially in the New Kingdom, but it was also used as a cemetery from the Old Kingdom to the Saite and Ptolemaic periods.
