Nefer Maat believed that he was the first to use colours in ancient Egypt, and this led to this belief because of the walls of his tomb that were discovered in Meidum by the scientist #Falsi in 1871;….. as the walls of his tomb are studded with many colours in the inscriptions of Nefer Maat and his wife came; … Nefer Maat was a contemporary of the old state during the reign of King Sneferu, the Fourth Dynasty in particular;
Nefer Maat and Tata were also the parents of Hemiono, who supervised the construction of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The most important and famous discovery found in his tomb in Meidum is the Geese of Meidum painting, known as the Mona Lisa of Egyptian art, and it is now in the Egyptian Museum. A mission led by Francesco and a colour expert to verify the antiquity of the painting. Indeed, they proved that it dates back to the era of the Old Kingdom.
