Key functions of this so-called royal harem can be identified as the residence and stage for the court of the royal women, the place for the upbringing and education of the royal children and favored non-royal children as the future ruling class, the provision of musical performance in courtly life and cult, as well as the supply and provisioning of the royal family.

    182 (d) OFFICIALS AND THE QNBT Officials of the bureaucracy presided over or worked within committees (DADAt/qnbt); the principle was so strongly established that it is to be doubted whether an Egyptian official was able to take an executive decision without first consulting his respective panel of advisers and yet, it seems clear from our available sources that having received advice he was not obliged to follow it. The introduction to the “Installation of the Vizier”998 runs: “Instructions enjoined upon the vizier Rekhmirea. The qnbt was admitted to the audience-hall of Pharaoh, and it was ordered that the newly appointed vizier Rekhmirea should be ushered in.” This possibly refers to the qnbt-aAt of the King (see above), with whose assistance the Vizier exercised his duties and over which he presided, deputising for the King. It is likely that the members of this committee, all represented those fields of administration over which the Vizier held sway directly or indirectly and thus centralised all these branches of government around his person, as chief executive in charge of bureaucracy. As will be seen later however, when the duties of viziers are analysed in detail, it will become apparent that the individual Departments of the State (pr-nswt) did not directly owe allegiance to him. The Vizier’s pre-eminence over the committee is emphasized in another part of the same text as above (p. 22, line 3) where the King says: “It is not a question of his (i.e. the Vizier) being compliant to the members of the committee (srw nw DADAt) nor creating for himself favourites/supporters of anyone.”999.

  • The Burial of Nefertiti?
    AMARNA ROYAL TOMBS PROJECT VALLEY OF THE KINGS Occasional Paper No. 1 THE BURIAL OF NEFERTITI? By Nicholas Reeves, FSA THE BURIAL OF NEFERTITI? ABSTRACT Recently published, high-resolution scans of the walls of room J (the Burial Chamber) of Valley of the Kings tomb KV 62 (Tutankhamun) reveal, beneath the plastered surfaces of the painted scenes, distinct linear traces. These are here mapped, discussed, and tentatively identified as the “ghosts” of two hitherto unrecognized doorways. It is argued that these doorways give access to: (1) a still unexplored storage chamber on the west of room J, seemingly contemporary with the stocking of Tutankhamun’s burial; and (2) a pre-Tutankhamun continuation of KV 62 towards the north, containing the undisturbed burial of the tomb’s original owner – Nefertiti. “Now, about the tomb of Nefertiti,” [Omm Sety] continued, sounding a bit hesitant. “I did once ask His Majesty where it was, and he told me. He said, ‘Why do you want to know?’ I said I would like to have it excavated, and he said, ‘No, you must not. We don’t want anything more of this family known.’ But he did tell me where it was, and I can tell you this much. It’s in the Valley of the Kings, and it’s quite near to the Tutankhamun tomb. But it’s in a place where nobody would ever think of looking for it,” she laughed. “And apparently it is still intact …” – el Zeini and Dees 2007, 265-266 Frontispiece. The Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV 62): (x) proposed new chamber behind the decorated west wall of the Burial Chamber (J); (y) potential continuation of the tomb beyond the Burial Chamber’s decorated north wall (Weeks 2003, sheet 69/70 / http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/, with additions, copyright © Theban Mapping Project) AMARNA ROYAL TOMBS PROJECT VALLEY OF THE KINGS Occasional Paper No.

The rituals of the Opet Festival celebrated the sacred marriage of Amun—with whom the king merged—and Mut, resulting in the proper transmission of the royal ka and thus ensuring the maintenance of kingship. أصبح اﻻحتفال بعيد اﻷوبت السنوي احتفال ديني مركزي في طيبة القديمة أثناء اﻷسرة الثامنة عشرة حيث كان يبحر خﻻله آمون بمركبه وتلحقه موت وخونسو وكذلك الملك، من معبد الكرنك إلى معبد اﻷقصر. وكانت الطقوس الخاصة بعيد اﻷوبت تحتفل بالزواج المقدس ﻵمون، والذي قد إندمج معه الملك، وموت مما ينتج عنه انتقال صحيح لـل <<كا>> الملكيه، مما يضمن بقاء الملكية واستمراريتھا.

Deel 4: Sakkara en omgeving, van Dashur tot aan Abu Roash. Olette Freriks en André de Ruiter 7 Schrijvers: Olette Freriks en André de Ruiter Coverontwerp: SQOOP Enschede ISBN: 9789402178319 © 2020 Olette Freriks en André de Ruiter 8 Voorwoord Nadat ik een aantal keren in Egypte op rondreis ben geweest, telkens onder begeleiding van een ervaren tourleader/gids zijnde Olette Freriks, leek het mij leuk om samen met haar onze ervaringen te delen door een aantal boeken te schrijven met daarin een korte impressie van de bezienswaardigheden. De reactie van Olette hierop was de volgende: Ik was acht jaar toen ik een ansichtkaart kreeg van mijn oom met daarop een prachtig gekleurde muurschildering uit het Dal der Koninginnen. Dat beeld liet mij niet meer los, mijn interesse in het oude Egypte groeide en in 1996 maakte ik mijn droom waar. Ik begon met de studie Egyptologie a la carte aan de universiteit van Leiden. Daarnaast deed ik een cursus reisleiding en in het jaar 2000 richtte ik mijn reisorganisatie “Horus reizen Egypte” op. Naast het organiseren en begeleiden van reizen gaf ik cursussen en lezingen door het hele land, verzorgde ik lessen op basis en middelbare scholen en deed de rond- leidingen in musea in binnen- en buitenland. Sinds 2006 woon ik in Egypte, waar ik mijn activiteiten voor Horus Reizen verder heb kunnen uitbreiden. En toen André mij enige tijd geleden vroeg om hem te helpen bij het schrijven van deze serie heb ik gelijk ja gezegd.
