The tomb of Pepyankh the Black (D2) at Meir was published by
Blackman in his series The Rock Tombs of Meir (vol. 5, London,
1953). The Australian Centre for Egyptology (ACE) rerecorded all
the scenes and inscriptions in the chapel after these had been
conserved by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, with many
additional details surfacing. The ACE has also undertaken
conservation work in the burial chamber which yielded interesting
information on the decoration of burial chambers in the Old
Kingdom. The tomb is one of the most completely decorated and
preserved provincial tombs of the Old Kingdom with scenes covering
various themes from the life of the tomb owner as well as the most
complete scenes of the funerary procession. All the scenes and
inscriptions are published in detailed, coloured photographs as
well as line drawings. They are accompanied by a textual
description of the scenes, translation of the hieroglyphic texts
and a comparative analysis with other contemporary tombs.
