IGN70

Tomb IGN70 is carved in the middle of the eastern slope of the main massif in sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis, facing west. The tomb’s facade is heavily eroded, with much of the worked stone lost. The upper section is affected by open and deep horizontal cracks, particularly under the remains of what might have been an Egyptian entablature.
