Tombs At Aswan

Aswan is sometime referred to in the literature as Qubbet el-Hawwa or Qubbet el-Hawa. The site is associated with the Island of Elephantine. Most of the tombs date to the Old Kingdom.

Sabni was the son of Mekhu (tomb #26). Mekhu died in Nubia and his body was retrieved by his son Sabni so he could receive a proper burial.

"Originally Heqaib was an esteemed patron who after his death became venerated by a small group of devotees. In the XIIth Dynasty the deceased became an "honourable man" (saH), whose cult place became the stage for memorial rituals and a centre of the ancestor cult beyond the necropolis proper. Heqaib also became a patron of the expeditions south, acting as a "living-active god" (nTr anx) with divine qualities, as a saint mediating between men and gods."(Quote taken from: http://www.leidenuniv.nl/nino/aeb94/aeb94_5.html)
