A significant limestone stela discovered at the eastern side of Tabet El-Geesh, a fresh excavation site located in south Saqqara between the Cairo University excavations and the late sixth dynasty cemetery of Pepi I, Pepi II and Merenre. The stela belongs to King Horemheb, the last king of the 18th Dynasty. Even though he has a non-royal tomb at Saqqara, but this artefact is a mere proof of his royal existence at Saqqara, though he moved to the capital Thebes. It was found in a small room thought to be part of a New Kingdom temple.
The stela is decorated with only two religious’ scenes of King Horemheb. First, the king offers papyri flowers to God Osiris, while the second one has the king offering the nw jars to God Ptah of Memphis.
