The Theban Tomb TT66 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna. It forms part of the Theban Necropolis, situated on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. The tomb is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian Vizier Hepu, who served during the reign of Tuthmosis IV.{{cite book |first1=Bertha |last1=Porter |first2=Rosalind L.B. |last2=Moss |date=1970 |title=Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Statues, Reliefs and Paintings |volume=1 |series=The Theban Necropolis |location= |publisher=Griffith Institute |page=279 |asin=B002WL4ON4}}
