In this tomb, a wall fresco with commentary in hieroglyphs tells us that in the 6th year of reign of Sesostris II (about 1876 B.C.), the nomarch Khnum-hotep (II) went in the East desert to bring back some khôl stone (used to treat eye illnesses). When returning Khnum-hotep and his men escorted a small troop of bedwins coming in Egypt with women and children. They brought with them small livestock and some ingots of copper carried by donkeys, who served of currency for commercial exchanges.
The chief of the tribe named himself as the "heka khase Abish" prince of the mountaneous country of Abish*. The hill of Al Habis is today in Jordan above the site of ancient Petra and near the Moses' Valley (diaporama : click on the first picture, then on the "next" button in the upper right corner).
This small troop of thirty-seven "Aamou" (Amorites) evokes the arrival of the tribe of Jacob (70 people) arriving in Egypt on the request of Joseph minister of Pharaoh according to the Bible (Genesis 46).
(Egyptians took only men in account ).
*We can also remark that the grandson of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (the son of his son Samsuiluna) was named Abieshu.
