The Theban Tomb TT100 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor.[2] It is the mortuary chapel of the Ancient Egyptian Vizier, Rekhmire. There is no burial chamber next to this chapel. The vizier's tomb must have been somewhere else, perhaps even in the Valley of the Kings.
