The Window Wall of the classroom has been chosen as wall 17of the inner room or shrine of Senneferi's tomb (TT99). This is probably one of the most difficult walls for the students as there is virtually no information available for what would have been place on this wall. Only the remnants of a hieroglyphic text - suggested by Sethe as being part of a Hymn to Osiris - remains. The students therefore have had the daunting task of trying to work out from other tombs, from what was contained in the rest of TT99 and in the end personal preference (just as no doubt the tomb owner would have expressed his opinion) as to the scenes upon this wall.
