Pinudjem II was one of the last of the lineage descended from Herihor. When Pinudjem II died, his mummy was placed in the old tomb of queen Inhapi, in the cliffs of Deir-el-Bahri. King Amunhotep I had already been moved to shelter in that tomb, and now the officials of the Theban cemetery became sufficiently confident about the tomb's security that they added the mummies of Seti I and Ramesses II. Within a few years, some forty other royal and priestly mummies were added to the cache.
