These rock-cut tombs were used as shelters during World War II and suffered damage at the hands of the soldiers. The tomb of Si-Amen, however, has survived with portraits of him as a young man and at the end of his life. Though there is is no indication that Si-Amen is Greek, the stylistic elements and the pottery within the tomb indicate a Hellenistic date. Other tombs worth seeing are the tomb of the Crocodile and the unfinished tomb of Mesu-Isis.
