The southern tombs of El Amarna .. The Tomb of Ay ( No. 25 ) .. Part ( 26 )
A. General notes
Tomb No. 25 is important, not for its condition, for
it is unfinished, but for its owner, who was that Ay ( Eye ) who, after serving
Akhenaten in the king's youth, and being a supporter of his religious policy
all through, finally succeeded to the throne after the death of Tutankhamun,
and has his actual burial-place in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, where it
is No. 23, known as ' The Tomb of the Apes ' .
