Nobels Tomb is the final resting place of Ramose - vizier and governor of Thebes during the reign of Akhenatan. Akhenatan is responsible for introducing new religious concepts - that changed the importance of Thebes. These tombs have the story of the changes on the walls.
The Habu temple was enclosed by Ramesses III and built his mortuary temple next to it. This complex housed storehouses, workshops, administrative offices and residences of priests and officials. It was used as a refuge during chaotic times and later was covered by the Coptic town of Djeme where the great temple was filled with dwellings and a court used as a church.
