St. Louis Community College student visited the
Egyptian archaeological site of Amarna on 5 March 2001. Our visit to the site included
two tombs in the northern group. One tomb belonged to Meri-re II, a royal scribe and
superintendent of the household of the Queen, Nefertiti. The second tomb belonged to Ahmose,
the fan bearer of the King. It shows a procession to the Aten temple.
