Fodor's Expert Review Mastaba of Ti

Saqqara Tomb

Ti was a supervisor of the construction of Niuserre and Nefefrikare’s pyramids in Abu Sir and was married to Neferhetepes, a priestess of goddesses, with whom he had sons. His recently restored family tomb is exquisitely decorated and painted—the boat-building scenes are particularly noteworthy—with some of its original roof in tact. A statue of Ti, albeit a reproduction, is visible in the serdab (a small room specifically for a statue of the deceased), and a large courtyard with a stairway leads to Ti’s burial chamber, where you can spot the official’s sarcophagus.
