- Local Egyptian officials also built their tombs here, not so magnificent and rich, but no less interesting.
- This place continued to serve Egypt after the Egyptian dynasties – during the reign of the Ptolemies and the Roman Empire, this place is still the same has been an important site for burials and religious ceremonies for more than three thousand years.
