La Carrière Et La Famille De Minhotep Houtoutou Avec Une Note Sur La Date Du Permitage 1116-B Verso * La carrière et la famille de Minhotep Houtoutou Avec une note sur la date du pErmitage 1116-B verso * Margaritta Danilova Équipe Égypte Nilotique et Méditerranéenne – Laboratoire ASM Archéologie des Sociétés Méditerranéennes, UMR 5140, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier, CNRS, MCC Avec la collaboration de Mohamed Ibrahim Aly (professeur émérite, Université d’Aïn Shams, ancien Ministre des Antiquités de l’Égypte) et la participation de Marc Gabolde (Équipe Égypte Nilotique et Méditerranéenne – Laboratoire ASM Archéologie des Sociétés Méditerranéennes, UMR 5140, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier, CNRS, MCC) A STÈLE DE Minhotep Houtoutou (Musée du Caire 17/5/25/7 [S.R. 12041]) a été acquise par Daressy pour le Musée du Caire vers 1920 d’un habitant d’Abousir qui en avait semble-t-il vendu quelques fragments auparavant. Les 23 morceaux subsistants, L 1 assemblés, ont été publiés dans la foulée par cet égyptologue . Mohamed Ibrahim Aly a réexaminé le monument il y a dix ans et a proposé plusieurs améliorations 2. Tous deux l’attribuent au règne d’Horemheb, alors que Helck, qui donne une version corrigée du texte de Daressy aux pages 1512-1514 de ses Urkunden der 18. Dynastie 3, le datait du règne d’Amenhotep II 4 et Cl. Vandersleyen de celui d’Amenhotep III 5. Dans le cadre de mon travail de thèse sur « Les enfants du sérail et l’institution du Kap », un nouvel examen du monument a été effectué. La stèle, lors de l’observation, était d’un accès difficile en raison de la préparation de son déménagement pour le Grand Egyptian Museum et certaines parties n’ont pas pu être scrutées ni photographiées avec autant de soin qu’il aurait été nécessaire. Malgré cela, à l’aide de la photographie publiée par Mohamed Ibrahim Aly et des quelques clichés pris sur place au Musée du Caire, il a été possible de réaliser sinon un fac-similé du moins un relevé relativement précis de ce monument en calcaire haut d’un mètre quatre-vingt et large d’un mètre douze [fig. 1]. Le dessin qui en est issu permet de clarifier * Ce travail a bénéficié du soutien du LabEx ArchMede au titre du programme « Investissement d'Avenir » ANR-11-LABX-0052-01. Je tiens à exprimer mes sincères remerciements à Mohamed Ibrahim Aly, professeur émérite, Université d’Aïn Shams, ancien Ministre des Antiquités de l’Égypte et au professeur Marc Gabolde pour leurs généreuses collaborations. Ma reconnaissance va aussi au Professeur Bernard Mathieu et à Edwin Dalino, doctorant, pour leurs lectures attentives et leurs remarques. 1 G. DARESSY, « Une stèle fragmentée d’Abousir », ASAE 19, 1920, p. 127-130. Aucun des fragments manquants n’a pour l’instant pu être identifié dans des collections publiques ou privées. La stèle a semble-t-il été délibérément brisée afin de faciliter son transport et sa vente « à la découpe ». Il est probable que la base de la stèle soit en partie restée en place dans la tombe non localisée de Minhotep Houtoutou, quelque part entre Saqqâra nord et Abousir sud. 2 M.

  • The Symbolism and Function of the Window of Appearance in the Amarna Period*1
    FOLIA PRAEHISTORICA POSNANIENSIA T. XXIV – 2019 WYDZIAŁ ARCHEOLOGII, UAM POZNAŃ – ISSN 0239-8524 http://dx.doi.org/10.14746/fpp.2019.24.05 THE SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTION OF THE WINDOW OF APPEARANCE IN THE AMARNA PERIOD*1 SYMBOLIZM I FUNKCJA OKNA POJAWIEŃ W OKRESIE AMARNEŃSKIM Maria M. Kloska orcid.org/0000-0003-4822-8891 Wydział Historii, Uniwersytet im. A. Mickiewicza ul. Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 7, 61-614 Poznań [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the reign of the Amarna spouses, giving gold necklaces to royal officials took place (almost always) from the so-called Window of Appearance. From them, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, often with princesses, honoured deserved and devoted dignitaries. The popularity of the Window of Appearance closely relates to the introduction of a new religious system introduced by Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Ac- cording to the new religion, Akhenaten and Nefertiti were a pair of divine twins like Shu and Tefnut, who in the Heliopolitan theology, were the children of the god Atum – replaced by Aten in Amarna. The royal couple prayed to the main solar god, while their subjects prayed to the king and queen. Since Akhenaten per- formed the role of a priest through whom ordinary people could pray to the god, it was necessary to create a construction that would allow the king to meet with his subjects publicly. The Window of Appearance was such architectural innovation. It was crucial because the king was an intermediator between the peo- ple and the only right sun god, Aten. The Windows of Appearance were probably located in various places in Akhetaten, including the Great Palace, the King’s House, the North Palace, the Small Aten Temple and in the temples of the Sunshades of Re in the Kom el-Nana and Maru-Aten.

  • Come My Staff, I Lean Upon You: an Iconographic and Contextual Study of Sticks and Staves from 18Th Dynasty Egypt
    The American University in Cairo School of Humanities and Social Sciences Come My Staff, I Lean Upon You: an Iconographic and Contextual Study of Sticks and Staves from 18th Dynasty Egypt A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology (SAPE) In partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts By: Nicholas R. Brown Under the Supervision of Dr. Salima Ikram First Reader: Dr. Lisa Sabbahy Second Reader: Dr. Fayza Haikal December, 2015 DEDICATION “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. This I did.” -T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom To my grandmother, Nana Joan. For first showing me the “Wonderful Things” of ancient Egypt. I love you dearly. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many individuals and institutions to whom I would like to express my deepest gratitude and thankfulness. Without their help, encouragement, support, and patience I would not have been able to complete my degree nor this thesis. Firstly, to my advisor Dr. Salima Ikram: I am grateful for your suggesting the idea of studying sticks in ancient Egypt, and for the many lessons that you have taught and opportunities you have provided for me throughout this entire process. I am, hopefully, a better scholar (and speller!) because of your investment in my research. Thank you. To my readers Doctors Lisa Sabbahy and Fayza Haikal, thank you for taking the time to review, comment upon, and edit my thesis draft.

  • Royal Images in Private Tombs at Thebes in the Early Ramesside Period
    ROYAL IMAGES IN PRIVATE TOMBS AT THEBES IN THE EARLY RAMESSIDE PERIOD by GABRIELLE HEFFERNAN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Philosophy Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham June 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT Cultural memory is a relatively new area of study within Egyptology. It is, however, a key issue in the understanding of how society functioned. Important work has been done by scholars such as Assmann on the subject and this study hopes to build on that by taking the case of depictions of kings in Theban tombs, and discussing what they may tell us about the role of the king in the lives of the people. This study will focus on three types of scene; the king as a part of everyday life, the king as a historical figure, and the king as a 'divine' being. This will allow a more detailed study of how the king, and kingship, was understood by people who were not members of the royal court, or holders of high office.

  • 1 the Representation of Heart in Sheikh Abd El Qurna Private Tombs During the 18Th Dynasty Rasha M. Omran Faculty of Tourism
    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality Vol 13 – No. 2 - Dec 2016 (part2) 1-26 The Representation of Heart in Sheikh Abd El Qurna Private Tombs during the 18th Dynasty Rasha M. Omran Faculty of Tourism and Hotels - Fayoum University Abstract The current research was dedicated to shed light on the heart and its symbolism in the Ancient Egyptian conception; to study the importance of heart in Ancient Egyptian religion; to focus on the representation of heart in both daily and funerary scenes like heart necklace which is represented either worn by the tomb owner or offered to him in Sheikh Abd El Qurna private tombs; to spotlight on the religious symbolism of the different colors and numbers of heart in the scenes decorating the walls of Sheikh Abd El Qurna private tombs; to spotlight on the specific locations of heart in scenes and their relation with the Ancient Egyptian conception. as well as to focus on the chapters dedicated to the heart protection in the book of the Dead. The preliminary results indicated that heart was illustrated in different locations inside the tombs like on the walls of the hall, inner room, burial chamber and passage. Heart was represented in both the funerary scenes like purification and opening of the mouth and daily life scenes like offering food to the deceased in the 18th dynasty private tombs at Thebes especially in Sheikh Abd El Qurna Necropolis. Key Words: Heart, Sheikh Abd- el - Qurna, Ancient Egypt, Funerary Scenes, Daily Life Scenes, Religious Symbolism, Private Tombs, New Kingdom.

    NEARCO – Revista Eletrônica de Antiguidade 2015, Ano VIII, Número II – ISSN 1982-8713 Núcleo de Estudos da Antiguidade Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Artigo aprobado em outubro de 2015 O RITUAL COMO MATERIALIZAÇÃO DE PROJETOS POLÍTICOS: UMA COMPARAÇÃO DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES RITUAIS EM TUMBAS DE AMARNA E TEBAS María Violeta Pereyra1; Rennan de Souza Lemos2; Liliana Manzi3 RESUMO Este artigo busca analisar a prática ritual como materialização de projetos políticos. No caso da necrópole de Amarna, esse projeto estava associado às reformas de Akhenaton e à ideia de purificação. No caso de Tebas, é possível associá-lo à exaltação da elite com restauração pós-amarniana de Amon. Para abordar o tema, analisamos cenas registradas nas tumbas dos funcionários que foram contemporâneos a ambos os momentos, assim como a articulação de tais cenas com a paisagem. Essa articulação é entendida como forma representação litúrgica, onde a visibilidade em relação ao templo e as relações de proximidade entre as tumbas funcionava como outra forma de materializar esses projetos. Nestes, participaram as elites, oferecendo exemplos de subordinação, em alguns casos, e de tensão, em outros. Palavras-chave: Egiptologia; Tumbas de Amarna; Tumbas Tebanas, Paisagem. ABSTRACT This paper explores the idea that considers ritual practice as a form of embodiment of political projects.
