Abstract

One of the protector groups in the Valley of the Queens is Neb-nerou and Ḥery-Maat. Neb-nerou was responsible for protecting the deceased from any difficulties in his afterlife against the evils. Neb-nerou is a lion-headed man, while Ḥery-Maat is depicted as a seated man. They are shown together usually on the North-West wall, on the right hand when entering the burial chamber in many tombs in the Valley of the Queens. They are represented a few funerary Papyri.[1]
This study focuses on Neb-nerou and Ḥery-Maat which aims to illuminate the name, the shape, the roles, and the depictions of them in the burial chamber in most tombs of the Valley of the Queens.
