The Saite-Persian cemetery at Abusir was founded at the very end of the 26th Dynasty. During this period a cluster of huge and smaller Late Period shaft tombs were built here.
Its founder, a prominent official Udjahorresnet, together with other Saite dignitaries (Iufaa, Nekau, Padihor, Imakhetkheretresnet, Gemenefhorbak, Menekhibnekau), were the first and only builders at this site, which was not later on re-used as a secondary cemetery. Therefore, this situation offers a unique opportunity for the creation - at least - of a tentative hypothesis of its character as well as the mutual relations between the so far known owners, although the archaeological excavation of this very promising cemetery is far from being complete.
