Mastaba of Ankh-mahor
This mastaba is from the VIth Dynasty along with those of Mereruka and Kagemni. In the
entrance the reliefs show scenes involving agriculture and fording. Medical scenes are shown
in the doorway that leads into a five pillared room. Thus, this tomb is referred to as the
Physician's Tomb. Ankh-mahor was not a physician. He was a ka-priest. The reliefs in the
five-pillared room are not in good condition, however they do show mourners very
graphically.
