False Door of Nykara, 2408-2341 BC. Creator: Unknown
False Door of Nykara, 2408-2341 BC. The focal point of the tomb chapel was a false door built into its western wall. Food offerings for the deceased tomb owners were placed in front of it, and it was believed that the soul could pass through it. The inscriptions list Nykaras numerous titles both at court and in the state bureaucracy. His eldest son, Ankhmara, who succeeded Nykara in the granary administration, is shown in much smaller scale in front of him
