The grave TT221 ( T heban T omb - Theban grave number 221 ) is located in Thebes- West near the modern place Luxor in Egypt in the necropolis that is now called Qurnet Murrai . The tomb belongs to the army clerk in the royal palace Horimin, who lived in the Ramesside period.
The tomb, carved into the rock, has a forecourt in the south, the entrance to a transverse hall is on the north side of the courtyard. On the north side of the hall, across from the entrance, there is a niche that has been carved into the rock but has not been completed. The transverse hall in particular has been painted, with the majority of these paintings remaining unfinished. The paintings mainly show Horimin and his wife in front of various deities. On the ceiling of the transverse hall is one of the few paintings that were once completed. It shows the barque of the sun god Re and underneath a longer text, which among other things mentions other titles of the Horimin, such as B. General of the Army in the Royal Palace .
From 2009 to 2013 the tomb was examined and recorded by a Spanish mission.
