介绍（中）	在第25王朝的一部分和第26王朝早期，门图埃姆哈特是底比斯的实际统治者，同时也是上帝的妻子。他在阿萨西夫建造了一座大型陵墓，第25王朝晚期和第26王朝的其他主要人物也是如此，其他大多数人都与上帝的妻子有密切联系。他的巨大陵墓有时被称为宫殿陵墓。它的东端有一个带拱门的大型砖砌塔柱。实际的入口是从一个大门和塔门以西一个巨大的下沉式露天庭院东北角的下降入口。接下来是第二个较小的开放式球场。地下的房间和走廊从这些庭院中分出，向下的走廊继续向西延伸到房间套房和墓室。尽管部分房间和墓室早已为人所知，但这座巨大的建筑直到最近才被完全清理干净，陵墓仍在研究中虽然石头很差，墓室的浮雕装饰墙也受到了很大的影响，但这一浮雕被分配到了西门廊，西门廊从第一个下沉宫廷的西侧通向第二个下沉宫廷。这是目前已知的唯一一个凸起起伏的区域，可以分配给该区域的其他碎片与当前标的物起伏有关浮雕显示笼子里有四只鸟，而捕鸟人试图塞进更多的鸟，一只鸭子试图逃跑。皱眉的场景通常与钓鱼场景和类似活动的场景联系在一起。虽然这些大型阿萨西夫陵墓中的许多都是从附近的18王朝彩绘陵墓中获得灵感的，虽然在这些陵墓中发现了一般的主题，但还没有发现非常接近的模型。
介绍（英）	Mentuemhat was the virtual ruler of Thebes alongside the concurrent God's Wife during part of Dynasty 25 and early 26. He constructed a large tomb in the Asasif, as did other major figures of late Dynasty 25 and Dynasty 26, most of the others closely associated with the God's Wife. His huge tomb is sometimes referred to as a palace tomb. It is marked at its eastern end by a large brick pylon with an arch. The actual entry is from a gate and descending entry at the northeast corner of a huge sunken open court west of the pylon. A second smaller open court follows. Subterranean rooms and corridors branch off these courts, and descending corridors continue further west to suites of rooms and the burial chamber, Although parts have long been known, this huge edifice has only been recently completely cleared, and the tomb remains under study. While the stone is poor and walls of relief decoration in the tomb have greatly suffered, this relief ha been assigned to the west portico which opens from the west side of the first sunken court and leads to the second. This is the only area known at this point to have raised relief, and other fragments that can be assigned to this area relate to the current relief by subject matter. The relief shows four birds in a cage, while fowlers try to stuff in more birds, and one duck tries to escape. Fowling scenes are often associated with fishing scenes, and scenes of similar activities. While many of these large Asasif tombs drew inspiration from the painted 18th Dynasty tombs in the vicinity, and while the general subject matter is found in those tombs, no very close model has been identified.
