And activities of Nakht

"As for Dathanasi, when he found the graveyard as it was, it literally plucked with his workers with knives, saws and levers his landscapes on the walls in front of him. Salt sold these works to the British Museum in 1821, while some other pieces are now located in Berlin and some of them remained in their original place
