In 1907 a small tomb was discovered high in the cliffs above the Egyptian village of Rifeh. The small rock-cut chamber contained the undisturbed burials of two men. It was remarkable both for the quality of its funeral equipment and for the mystery of its occupants, Khnum-Nakht and Nakht-Ankh, who became known as the "Two Brothers".

In this study of one of the most important tombs from ancient Egypt, Rosalie David discusses the burial equipment and the mummified bodies of the two men, exploring what they can tell us about the lives and expectations of two ordinary yet remarkable individuals from Egypt's Middle Kingdom.
