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 .
