Of the 39 tombs at the time of writing 4 are open to the public. Baqet III was a governor of the 11th Dynasty and his simple tomb contains well-preserved scenes of a desert hunt and wrestling. Kheti was Baqet son and his tomb is supported by 6 lotus-columns and contains painted scenes of wrestling along with those of farmers, people playing board games, dancing, gymnastics and even barbers.
Amenemhat ruled the region for Senusert between 1971-1928BCE and made incursions south into the land of Kush, northern Sudan and these campaigns are recorded inside the door of his tomb. The paintings inside are very fine showing cooking scenes, hunting and military campaigns. The last tomb belongs to Khnumhotep, Amenemhat’s successor, with tomb paintings showing ploughing, harvesting, hunting and the arrival of a trade mission thought to be from Asia.
