The grave TT47 ( T heban T omb - Theban grave number 47 ) is located in Thebes- West near the modern place Luxor in Egypt in the necropolis that is now called El-Chocha . The grave complex belongs to the head of the royal apartments Userhat, who under King Amenophis III. was in office.
The grave was found in 1902/03 under the supervision of the Egyptian Antiquities Service and partially uncovered. An image of the decoration was published in a photo. It shows the picture of Queen Teje , which was cut from the wall shortly afterwards and sold to the Musée du Cinquantenaire / Jubelparkmuseum in Brussels , where it can be viewed today. After 1908, knowledge of the exact location of the grave was lost. However, it has been studied by a team from Waseda University ( Tokyo ) since 2007 .
The grave has a forecourt. On the west side is the entrance to a large pillar hall carved into the rock. The entrance is decorated and shows in the upper part on the right side Userehat in front of the god Atum under the Western goddess, on the other side Userhat in front of Harachte and the goddess Maat . The door posts show Userhat at the bottom and longer sacrificial formulas above. Further to the west is another hall, this time supported by eight columns. The whole complex, which has not yet been fully excavated, is carved into the rock. The decoration of the walls consists of a raised relief carved into the rock, which is no longer well preserved.
