It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian official, Tjay or Thay called To, who was a royal scribe of the dispatches of the Lord of the Two Lands, during the 19th Dynasty. Thay served during the reign of Merenptah. Thay was the son of the scribe of soldiers Khaemteri and Tamy. Two wives are mentioned in TT23. Thay is shown with a wife named Raya, who was chief of the harem  of Sobek and another wife who is called Nebettawy. Within the tomb there is an image of a scene showing the tomb owner being rewarded while before Merenptah. References.
