TT218 (Theban Tomb 218) is the title which identifies one of the Tombs of the Nobles located in the area of the so-called Theban Necropolis, on the western bank of the Nile in front of the city of Luxor[N 4][2], in Egypt. Intended for the burials of nobles and officials connected to the ruling houses, especially of the New Kingdom, the area was exploited as a necropolis since the Old Kingdom and, subsequently, up to the Saitic period (with the XXVI dynasty) and Ptolemaic period.
