THE TOMB
OF KHA
PROJECTS
The tomb of the architect Kha and his wife Merit is one of the very few examples of a tomb which was still intact when found; it also one of the most important groups of artifacts in the Egyptian Museum’s collections.
Gli Scarabei supported the restoration project – which involved various artifacts, in particular fabrics, tunics, wooden boxes and a twined bag for palm seeds – with an investment of approximately 40,000 Euros.
THE UNBANDAGE OF KHA AND MERIT
At the Egyptian Museum great sensation was caused by the first x-rays of the mummies of Kha and Merit, left intact after the discovery of their tombs in 1906. They revealed, indeed, the presence of a rich parure of jewelry and amulets, initiating a long story of investigation, the results of which are recounted today in this room.
