The Tomb of Maya is the burial site of Maya, an important official in ancient Egypt.

Maya served as the treasurer during the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and also continued his service under Pharaoh Horemheb. He was one of the key figures responsible for the restoration of Egypt after the tumultuous reign of Akhenaten.
Maya's tomb is located in Saqqara, one of the oldest and most significant necropolises in Egypt. Saqqara served as the burial ground for the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, and it is home to numerous tombs of officials, as well as the famous Step Pyramid of Djoser. Maya's tomb was discovered in the early 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that significant excavations took place. There are gates outside of the entrance to the tomb. Once you enter, there are very tightly arranged steps that lead down into the tomb.

The tomb is known for its well-preserved wall reliefs and inscriptions. These decorations illustrated Maya's role in the royal court, including his responsibilities in managing the pharaoh's treasures. The tomb also contains statues and other artifacts that provide insights into the life of Maya.

The discovery and study of Maya's tomb have provided valuable information about the administration and society of ancient Egypt during the late 18th Dynasty. It sheds light on the role of high-ranking officials in maintaining the kingdom's wealth and stability during a period of transition and restoration.
