Your grave system

Menet was buried in a grave chamber, branching off from one gear. At this underground passage, there were several burials of royal ladies whose grave chambers were to reach all of the main corridor. All of these burials were, however, already deprived in the rediscovery in modern times. Menet himself was once buried in a limestone sarcophagus. This was a short inscription, which calls her title and her name. Most other sarcophagi in the adjacent grave chambers, however, were unlabelled.
