The Theban Tomb TT7 is located in Deir el-Medina, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian artisan and Scribe in the Place of Truth named Ramose, who lived during the Nineteenth Dynasty, during the reign of Ramesses II. Ramose also created a total of three tombs for himself in the necropolis, the others being TT212 and TT250. TT7 is interpreted as Ramose's personal tomb, while TT212 and TT250 have been connected respectively with the male and female entourage of Ramose or of his family.
