Gurob

Gurob, also known as Ghurab, Medinet Gurob, or Kom Medinet Gurob, is a significant archaeological site in Egypt, located near the Fayum. The site is renowned for its New Kingdom palace, known as Merwer, and a series of cemeteries. These cemeteries date back to the Old Kingdom, but most are from the New Kingdom period. Among the notable finds are a head of Queen Tiye and a papyrus fragment indicating that Queen Maathorneferure, the daughter of a Hittite king and wife of Ramses II, resided here. The site also contained a Temple to Neith and has yielded high-quality artistic statuettes. The presence of mummified Nile perch suggests ritual or religious significance. Gurob is an invaluable resource for understanding the domestic, religious, and funerary practices of ancient Egypt.
