His Tomb is located in Deir el Medina Necropolis on the West Bank at Luxor, dating to the early years of Ramses II's reign, it was decorated with one of the best known scenes in Thebes Necropolis ,the scene of :"kissing the earth". The kneeling ritual was also one of the daily rituals in Temples, when the high Priest enters the sanctuary, he kisses the ground with the face down ,this ritual was called: rA sn tA iw Hr m Hr:kissing the ground with the face down. This paper attempts to discuss the concept of kneeling and bowing down in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, by analyzing Pashedu tomb's scene at Deir el-Medina, to display different studies concerning this scene, who may reflect an act of praying or drinking water.
