Tomb No. 8 is that of Tutu, who may be the Dudu who
figures somewhat suspiciously in Aziru's correspondence in the Amarna Tablets,
and lies under grave suspicion of having been at least rather less than loyal
in his dealings with his royal master .

The southern tombs of El Amarna .. The Tomb of Parennefer ( No. 7 ) .. Part ( 19 )
Tomb No.7 is that of Parennefer, who was ' Royal
craftsman, Washer of hands of His Majesty ' . This tomb is the northernmost of
the tombs of the South Group, being excavated at the extreme end of the line of
foot-hills ( Plate 13-c ) . Lying high up on a steep slope, its entrance was
probably always traceable, if not actually open . A road which leads from it to
the city across the plain helps to mark down the site . The name of the owner
is injured wherever it occurs .

El-Amarna - The southern group of the rock tombs .. Part ( 18 )
1. Situation :-
We now move southwards towards the southern group of
tombs, they are located off three miles from the south of the northern group .
On our way we notice, about the centre of the arc formed by the high desert
behind the city, a long and narrow promontory jutting out from the high ground,
and enclosing at its broader western point a small hollow .
