Visit of the Sources of the Book of the Day Visit of the sources of the Book of the Day MARCUS MUELLER-ROTH The Book of the Day (LdJ – Livre du Jour) belongs to the group of the Books for the Afterlife that are known mainly from the royal tombs of the New Kingdom. Jean François Champollion was the first researcher who dealt with the LdJ. During a French-tuscan expedition which traveled to Egypt and Nubia, he also visited the Valley of the Kings. Among other things he documented paintings and texts from the tomb of Ramesses VI (KV 9), and thereby he described the LdJ for the first time.1 His report that has been published posthumous did not result in continuative researches on the LdJ, but long time remained unnoticed. Alexandre Piankoff took up the topic again one hundred years later. He prepared a temporary edition of the LdJ on the basis of the already known two versions from KV 9.2 Next to an English and French translation of these texts, Piankoff found comparable texts and paintings in a private tomb from the time of Taharqa.3 Although the tomb of Ramesses IX (KV 6) as well as the tomb of Osorkon II (NRT I) also contain the LdJ,4 the edition remains substantial and unreplaced to this day. This situation is very unfortunate, because the LdJ was multiple included into other studies lately. While a current edition is missing which takes all known sources, texts and paintings into account that belong to the LdJ, these studies run the risk of misinterpretation. In the autumn of 2004 I got the opportunity to visit the archaeological sites of sources of the LdJ to prepare a complete and detailed new edition. Of course the tomb of Ramesses VI (KV 9) was in the center of the examinations. There is still the oldest and at the same time the only complete version of the LdJ. In addition, it contains amazingly two versions at once. Besides the check of the texts and drawings two unknown texts could be discovered. The first one is at the end of the third corridor below the representation of the journey of the solar-barque. (Figure 1) At first the text fragments appear unspectacular since only the beginning of the first line makes sense. It is a text to the Southern Bas which are also represented as four ram- 1 Jean François Champollion, Monuments de l’Ègypte et de la Nubie.

Zivie- headed gods at the traction rope of the solar-barque.5 Since corresponding texts to the Northern and Eastern Bas are known, the text can be reviewed analog.6 Some hieroglyphs which remained unnoticed till now could be recognized also in the area of the Field of Reeds. The text merely consists of three signs that can be seen on its left edge in a narrow gap.7 Unlike the text of the Southern Bas, the meaning here remains dubious. The published drawings of the respective sources were also checked next to the texts. Since the tomb of Ramesses VI (KV 9) is published completely with photos, this work is concentrated on the drawings from the tomb of Ramesses IX (KV 6) and Osorkon II (NRT I). At the ceiling of KV 6 it turned out that the drawings of Felix Guilmant are faulty.8 The divinities in the left area were represented too small. Moreover, the gods in the right section are arranged wrongly. They spread out on the complete breadth of the register and adapt to the available space by decreasing their body height. The uraei in the lower area were represented just like they appear in KV 9. In reality the cobras have arms and lift them up praising. For the new edition the ceiling was documented newly to provide a correct drawing. (Figure 3) The tomb of Osorkon II in Tanis was discovered and edited by Pierre Montet simultaneous to the researches of Piankoff. The published drawing proved to be very exact.9 Moreover, many remains of the paint could be recognized so that the representation can be reconstructed in color. Unfortunately it got also clear, that the tombs and their decorations are threatened by salt. The visit of TT 132 (Ramose) conduced to a complete documentation of the decoration. Till now, the representations were only known by a survey of Jean Leclant.10 Piankoff published only the texts.11 However, TT 132 is also important for the processions of gods which constitute a considerable contingent of the LdJ. While Ramesses VI still included hundreds of gods in his decoration, Ramose reduced them to a handful. They alternate with the texts of the hours in the register above the journey of the solar-barque. Piankoff still mentioned them as gods of the hours. In the same function they were Coche (Ed.), Tanis. Travaux Récents sur le Tell Sân el-Hagar. Mission Française des Fouilles de Tanis 1987-1997, Paris 1998, 218-230. 5 A. Piankoff/N.

Piankoff, Le Livre du Jour dans la Tombe (No 132) de Ramose, in: ASAE 41, 1941, 151-158. also introduced in the “Lexikon der ägyptischen Götter und Götterzeichnungen”.12 If one looks at the first group in the first register of the corridor-version at KV 9, it gets clear that it is the same group like in TT 132. Their names are merely a little corrupt at Ramose, their shapes have individual features and their sequence is a little incompletely, because of the historical tradition of some centuries. The group can be completed by the procession in NRT I. Although the gods there remain anonymous, the identification by the iconography is clear.13 A schema shall get an overview (Figure 2). Next to the sources of the LdJ the Edifice of Taharqa at the Sacred Lake in Karnak was visited as well as Medinet Habu. The solar-complexes of these two temples have an important parallel to a hymn which exists also in the LdJ. This is covered, however, only cryptographic in KV 9. Since the texts of the temples are written in “Klarschrift”, they are essential for understanding the hymn.14 Approximately a dozen sarcophagi of the 25th and 26th dynasty remain unconsidered till now. Their lids are decorated with scenes of the day- and the night-barque. Since the composition of the crew is typical, the barque of the LdJ together with the team at the traction rope can be identified several times.15 With the visit to the archaeological sites of the LdJ the base for a standard new edition is built. The results shall be worked in into the existing documents, so that a quick completion of the project can be achieved. 12 A.

  • The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Earth Wilbour Studies in Egypt and Ancient Western Asia
    THE ANCIEN THE Collections of scenes and texts designated variously as the “Book of the Earth,” “Creation of the Solar Disc,” and “Book of Aker” were inscribed on the walls of royal sarcophagus chambers throughout Egypt’s Ramesside period (Dynasties 19–20). This material illustrated discrete episodes from the The Ancient Egyptian nocturnal voyage of the sun god, which functioned as a model for the resurrection of the deceased T king. These earliest “Books of the Earth” employed mostly ad hoc arrangements of scenes, united E by shared elements of iconography, an overarching, bipartite symmetry of composition, and their GYP Books of the Earth frequent pairing with representations of the double sky overhead. From the Twenty-First Dynasty and later, selections of programmatic tableaux were adapted for use in private mortuary contexts, T I often in conjunction with innovative or previously unattested annotations. The present study collects A and analyzes all currently known Book of the Earth material, including discussions of iconography, BOOKSN OF by Joshua Aaron Roberson grammar, orthography, and architectural setting. Joshua Aaron Roberson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History, Camden County College. Blackwood, NJ. He has worked as an epigrapher and sigillographer with the University of Pennsylvania expeditions to Saqqara and Abydos and as a sigillographer for the French-Egyptian expedition to the Opet temple at Karnak.

A chronological overview of the categories of material featuring gazelle images is presented as a background to an interpretation. An introduction and review of the characteristics of the gazelle in the wild are presented in Chapters 1-2. The images of gazelle in the Predynastic material are reviewed in Chapter 3, identifying the desert hunt as the main setting for gazelle imagery. Chapter 4 reviews the images of the gazelle in the desert hunt scenes from tombs and temples. The majority of the motifs characteristic for the gazelle are found in this context. Chapter 5 gives a typological analysis of the images of the gazelle from offering processions scenes. In this material the image of the nursing gazelle is given particular importance. Similar images are also found on objects, where symbolic connotations can be discerned (Chapter 6).
