Kampp 150

Kampp 150 is an ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Dra' Abu el-Naga' necropolis in Thebes, one of Egypt's ancient capitals. Based on a cartouche inscription, it probably dates back to the reign of Thutmose I of the Eighteenth Dynasty. It may have been occupied by a scribe named Maati and his wife Mohi, according to funerary seals found in its courtyard,[1] or to a person named Djehuty Mes, a name found on one of its walls.[2]

The tomb was registered as "Kampp 150" by Friederike Kampp-Seyfried in the 1990s. On December 9, 2017, the Ministry of State of Antiquities announced that the tomb was excavated, along with Kampp 161, by a team of Egyptian archeologists, before which it was only uncovered to its entrance. A yet unidentified linen-wrapped mummy was found inside, along with funerary objects, like wooden statues and masks.[1]
