Tod
Tod, 25 km south of Luxor, is the site of the ancient city of Djerty (Greek, Tuphium) associated with the cult of Montu, a military and protective god. Established during the Old Kingdom (twenty‐sixth century bce ), with most temple construction dating to the Middle Kingdom (ca. 2050–1750 bce ) and Ptolemaic periods (220–120 bce ), it was connected with four other cult centers of the god, forming a protective zone around the Theban Nome. The temp…
Renenutet
Renenutet, long identified as a nurturing snake deity watching over crops, originally safeguarded manufactured produce and goods stored in magazines and treasuries. Her Middle Kingdom temple in the Fayyum connected her directly with agriculture, wheat and viticulture in the early New Kingdom. In the later New Kingdom she was worshiped by the non‐elite, with stelae and votives. Many uninscribed cobra figurines from this period may represent other …

It also includes a number of texts that discuss now-lost depictions of the emperor and his court. It is suggested that such images were important to constituting and reinforcing public perceptions of who was part of the imperial court, and of the hierarchy of the court at a part…

To the Ramesseum Dramatic Papyrus, Shabaka Stone, and the Triumph of Horus, spanning the late Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic period, has been recently added a Ptolemaic “Demotic Drama.” A…
