Four tombs (three royal) remained undisturbed until 1894/5 CE, when they were found by Jacques de Morgan.
Lived under the reigns of Amenemhat II, Senusret II and Senusret III, Djehutihotep was one of the most powerful nomarchs of the Middle Kingdom; his tomb is the only one of the necropolis of Deir el-Bersha which wasn't damaged by the quarrymen's explosives, and is well known for the great quality of its decorations.
