The Adorer of Thoth Tomb was a cave located in the northwest corner in the hills surrounding the pyramids of Giza.
Originally a tomb dating back to the Old Kingdom period, it was home to a cult of Baba and later turned a hideout for a group of bandits.[1]
History
In 48 BCE, bandits from the tomb were holding a dog captive, who served as a protector for a group of children from Memphis. The children were forced to steal for the bandits in order to ensure that their dog was kept alive, which drew the attention of the Medjay, Bayek, one of the children's victims. Bayek, having learned the location of the cave from Apheru, one of the children, travelled to the tomb, where he deciphered an Old Kingdom stele and freed Anta, returning him back to the children.[2]
