Summary:The most recent analysis of the Saite Formula by K. Jansen-Winkeln (2000), based on an exhaustive corpus of over 200 examples, concluded that it was essentially a dedication formula expressed in the passive voice, commemorating the proper sacralization of the statue. Two previously unrecognized examples, both from Nubia during the late Eighteenth Dynasty, show that the supposed passive verbal form must be understood as the imperative of

AbstractThis article examines the interaction between Ay and Horemheb and their attitudes towards one another. Under Tutankhamun, Ay was the fatherly advisor of the king at the court, while Horemheb was the actual governor of all the administration in the country. However, Ay seems to have obtained the title “Vizier,” indicating that he was also capable of governing the country. Ay was indeed on the verge of becoming the successor of Tutankhamun. There was strong antagonism between Ay and Horemheb sometime after Tutankhamun’s death. The evidence implies that Horemheb sought to discredit Ay as proper successor to the king. As a result, Ay appears to have excluded Horemheb from greater courtly influence by appointing Nakhtmin not only as his “Generalissimo” but also as “King’s Son.” This squabbling even continued after Ay’s death as Horemheb endeavored to erase all memory of Ay, his men, and even Queen Ankhesenamun in revenge.****

This article presents the Saqqara tomb of Ry, an army official who built his funerary monument in the immediate post-Amarna period (temp. Tutankhamun c. 1319–1310 BCE). The Leiden-Turin Expedition to Saqqara excavated this anonymous mud-brick tomb structure in 2013. Recent research revealed that various decorated limestone revetment blocks held in museum collections around the world derive from this tomb. They were removed by early excavators almost 200 years ago and formed part of the antiquities collections of prominent collectors such as Giuseppe Passalacqua and Henry Abbott. The dispersed tomb elements bearing texts and iconography are here contextualised and the funerary monument is analysed in the framework of the development of the Memphite New Kingdom necropolis. ملخص البحث يقدم هذا المقال مدفن ري في سقارة، مسؤول بالجيش بنى لنفسه المدفن في فترة ما بعد العمارنة مباشرة (فترة توت عنخ أمون، حوالي 1319-1310 قبل الميلاد). قامت بعثات ليدن وتورينو في عام 2013 بتنقيب هذا المدفن المجهول في سقارة، وهو مبني بالطوب الطيني. كشفت الأبحاث الحديثة أن العديد من لوحات الحجر الجيري المزخرفة والمنتشرة في عدة متاحف حول العالم أصلها من هذا المدفن. لقد تم نقلها أثناء الحفريات المبكرة قبل مئتان عام تقريباً وكانت جزءاً من المجموعات الأثرية لهواة جمع الآثار البارزين مثل جوزيبي باسالاكوا وهنري أبوت. العناصر المبعثرة لهذا القبر تحمل نصوصاً وأيقونات مختلفة، في هذا النص تم جمعها ودراستها وتحليل الغرفة الجنائزية في إطار تطور مقابر ممفيس خلال فترة الدولة الحديثة.

Egyptian History

Monumental reliefs and inscriptions constitute an important body of evidence scholars use to reconstruct Egyptian history. Beyond their artistic and textual content, monumental inscriptions are useful for historical inquiry because they often display evidence of alteration, erasure, and palimpsest. Although investigating how and why monumental inscriptions were altered is vital to reconstructing Egyptian history, historians must be careful to avoid modern value judgments. Terms like “usurpation” and “damnatio memoriae” are anachronistic or culturally inappropriate for interpreting the motives of the Egyptians in altering or erasing monumental reliefs. Historiographical case studies on late Eighteenth Dynasty and Ramesside royal inscriptions consider the issue of epigraphic data on reinscribed royal names and the issue of hypothetical coregencies between Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten and of Seti I and Ramesses II to explore the possibilities and limitations of using epigraphic sources to reconstruct Egyptian history.
