    1. This part of wall at Rekhmire’s tomb [TT100] depicts five rows/processions; here are shown the three middle ones.

      The first, not shown here, is for representatives of Punt. And the last for captives.

      From the three middle ones, shown here:

      The upper of the photo is for “the chiefs of the Keftiu-land and the islands which are within the Great Sea”. [Keftiu = Crete]

      The middle for “the chiefs of Iuntiu-sety and Khent-hen-nufer”. [Iuntiu-sety = Nubia]

      The down one for “the chiefs of Retnu and all the lands of Further Asia”. [Retnu = Syria]
