Tomb Of Pashedu TT3
During the Ramesside Period, Peshedu served as a “Servant In the Place of Truth,” Deir el-Medina. His mausoleum provides breathtaking views from its entrance and is perched high on a mountain above the settlement. The public was just recently allowed access following restoration. While his father Menna was employed in the Temple of Amun, Pashedu is said to be the first member of his family to have worked among the locals at Deir el-Medina. Pashedu began his career as a stonemason before being elevated to foreman. His spouse was Nedjembehdet, and the two were parents to several kids. “Servant at the Place of Truth on the West of Thebes” was his official title.

The tomb’s decorations, like those on the graves of the other artisans, are brightly coloured depictions from the “Book of the Dead” painted on a backdrop of yellow ochre. The tomb has a vaulted roof like the others do. The burial room may be reached by descending a passage from the court outside the tomb. The Anubis jackal is seated on a shrine on either side of the passageway, holding a flail between his hind paws.
