Title: Tribute accounting during the 15th century BC
Post by: Dave Beatty on September 05, 2015, 01:34:25 AM
Another interesting set of wall murals depicting the delivery of "taxes" to the vizier Rekhmier in TT100 is here:

Tribute from the "southern cities" and from "foreign peoples" is especially of interest (on page 2) showing the dress and coloration of cattle. Page 3 has murals showing the inhabitants of Crete, Syria-Palestine, and Nubia-Sudan.

Page 8 has some weapons (bows, arrows, clubs, shields) details here:

Rekhmire was vizier in the 18th dynasty during the reigns of Thutmoses III and Amenhotep II.
