The Mastaba of Ptahshepses at Abusir

Ptahshepses rose to the rank of Vizier under King Niuserra in the Old Kingdom 5th Dynasty. He also married the king's daughter, Khamerernebty. He bears the title "King's Son" on some of the pillars of the open court in his mastaba.

Ptahshepses' tomb (mastaba) is the largest non-royal tomb of its time in Egypt. Only the Mastaba of Mereruka in the 6th Dynasty is larger.

Mastaba of Ptahshepses

The Mastaba of Ptahshepses (80 by 100 meters) was based on royal architecture, with elaborate decoration and complex construction, such as a multi-room chapel. The front entrance of the tomb has been reconstructed recently, showing the portico with two lotus columns.
