  • Die Grabanlagen Der Königin Hetepheres 11
    46 P. J an 0 si: Grabanlagen ZÄS 123 (1996) PETER JA.NOSI Die Grabanlagen der Königin Hetepheres 11. Königin Hetepheres H., eine Enkelin Hetepheres' 1., wird allgemein mit drei Grabanlagen in Giza in Verbindung gebracht: mit den Mastabas G 7110-7120, G 7350 und G 7530-7540, die alle östlich der Cheopspyramide liegen I (Abb. 1). In welcher der drei Anlagen die Köni• gin tatsächlich bestattet war und warum sie mit diesen Gräbern in Verbindung gebracht wird, beruht vor allem auf den Rekonstruktionen von George A. Reisner, dem Ausgräber 2 der Nekropole G 7000 . Seine Versuche, die Geschichte der Gizanekropole anhand der archäologischen Befunde, der Architektur, Reliefs, Inschriften und der (von ihm rekonstru­ ierten) Familienbeziehungen zu erklären und in weiterer Folge damit auch eine Geschichte der 4. Dynastie zu entwerfen, bilden bis heute das Fundament für jene Epoche. An den An­ fang sei daher eine Zusammenfassung der Reisnerschen Ergebnisse und Rekonstruktionen gestellt, die mit unterschiedlichen Abwandlungen Eingang in die ägyptologische Literatur gefunden haben. Alle Informationen über Hetepheres H. stammen aus dem Grab ihrer Tochter Meresanch III. in Giza (G 7530-7540) (Abb. 1, 3t Aus den Inschriften und Darstellungen in diesem Grab 4 geht hervor, daß Hetepheres 11. eine Tochter des Cheops war • In diesem Grab wird Prinz Kawab, der Besitzer der Mastaba G 7110-7120, als Vater der Meresanch IrI. genannt Uf.s .. .Klw cbt Er gilt aufgrund der Position seines Grabes unmittelbar östlich der Königinnen• pyramide G I-a (Abb. 1) als Sohn des Cheops.

What little we know about her comes from her tomb: G 7000x at Giza. This tomb lies close to the pyramid of her son, Khufu, in the eastern sector of the Giza cemetery (see Figure. 1). The queen's tomb, which is really only a burial chamber at the foot of a 27 metre deep shaft, close to the pyramid of Khufu, was discovered by the Harvard-Boston team, led by Dr. George Reisner, in 1925. The tomb had not been plundered by robbers, and its preservation was certainly due to the fact that the entrance to the burial shaft had been concealed in the pavement in front of Khufu's mortuary temple.

Because of exceptionally high status, Nefertiti rode in her own chariot.

Women participated in the political, economic, and judicial world of ancient Egypt on the same terms as men This social system reflects Egyptian mythology, where Goddesses played an equal, if not chief, role. The primeval mother figures in the earliest prehistoric Egyptian myths are female. Female deities were kept separate from the males, with their own temples and followers Egyptian goddesses are also creator deities, and the protectors of the pharaohs in the form of the cobra, vulture, or lioness.

QUEEN FOR ETERNITY MERESANKH III NILE n 1931, German archaeologist Uvo Hölscher, digging for the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute, was excavating the ruins of the funerary temple of King Ay, just north of Ramesses III’s Itemple at Medinet Habu. Foundation deposits at the site revealed that the temple was begun by Ay during his short reign following the early death of Tut- ankhamun. Above ground, however, the next in line, Horemheb, had done a thorough job of usurp- ing the temple and its fine statuary—rubbing out Ay’s cartouches and engraving his own. Discovered in the dusty rubble were two co- lossal, striding red quartzite statues, originally thought to have flanked a temple doorway. While they had sustained damage, the faces were, thankfully, largely intact. At the time, Uvo Hölscher made it fairly clear as to who he thought the two statues belonged: “Everywhere the names of Harmhab [Horemheb] appear over an erasure, where the name of Eye [Ay] had been carved originally and can be read with certainty in places. The face is, however, not that of Eye. Our statues were apparently made for Tutankhamon but completed, inscribed and set up under Eye and finally usurped by Harmhab.” The statue shown here went to the Egyp- tian Museum in Cairo (Inv. Cairo JE 59869), while its mate was gifted to the Oriental Institute in the division of finds (No.

  • ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES in the ARCHAEOLOGY
    ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS, with particular reference to tomb robbery and the caching of the royal mummies This study considers the physical evidence for tomb robbery on the Theban west bank, and its resultant effects, during the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Each tomb and deposit known from the Valley of the Kings is examined in detail, with the aims of establishing the archaeological context of each find and, wherever possible, isolating and comparing the evidence for post-interment activity. The archaeological and documentary evidence pertaining to the royal caches from Deir el-Bahri, the tomb of Amenophis II and elsewhere is drawn together, and from an analysis of this material it is possible to suggest the routes by which the mummies arrived at their final destinations. Large-scale tomb robbery is shown to have been a relatively uncommon phenomenon, confined to periods of political and economic instability. The caching of the royal mummies may be seen as a direct consequence of the tomb robberies of the late New Kingdom and the subsequent abandonment of the necropolis by Ramesses XI. Associated with the evacuation of the Valley tombs may be discerned an official dismantling of the burials and a re-absorption into the economy of the precious commodities there interred.
