The grave TT11 ( English Theban Tomb 11 = Theban grave no. 11) is located in the Theban necropolis Dra Abu el-Naga on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor . It is the burial place of the high official Djehuti , who held the office of treasurer and supervisor of all works at the time of Queen Hatshepsut ( 18th dynasty ) .
The grave is right next to TT12 , both are connected by a third grave ( TT399 ). In 2008, in the forecourt of TT11, a Spanish excavation team came across the sarcophagus of a man named Iker from the Middle Kingdom period . At the beginning of 2009 a second painted burial chamber was discovered, which is decorated on the walls with sayings from the Egyptian Book of the Dead and on the ceiling with a picture of the goddess Nut .
