kab

Many traces in the existing tombs at El Kab show that earlier tombs were quarried away in order to make room for them.

This makes it seem likely that the stairway tombs here at El Kab are earlier in date than the mastabas with square wells.

This tomb is a prominent object to anyone looking north from the El Kab wall, and has the appearance of a natural mound.

These were found chiefly inside the fort of El Kab, though a few were outside the walls.

But the soil of El Kab is so damp and full of salt that unpainted wooden coffins may have disappeared without leaving any trace.
