This wall painting from the late 18th Dynasty (c. 1350 ) tomb-chapel of Nebamun at Thebes shows Nebamun inspecting flocks of geese and herds of cattle. The hieroglyphs describe and record what the farmers are squabbling about as they stand in line. The text says: Come on! Get away! Don't speak in the presence of the praised one! He hates people on in quiet and in , Nebamun, the scribe and counter of grain of [Amun] knows all. The name of Amun in Nebamun's name has been scratched out - the ruler Akhenaten had Amun's name erased from all when he chose to follow the Aten.
