An early ruler etched in stone? A rock art panel from the west bank of Aswan (Egypt)
In terms of the grand narrative of Upper Egypt's expansion into, and unification with, Lower Egypt in the second half of the fourth millennium BC, substantial debate surrounds the processes of state formation. Referring to a recently discovered engraving near Aswan, the author argues that rock art has much to contribute to these discussions. Typological and comparative analyses of the engraving, which is interpreted as a processional boat bearing…
A Preliminary Survey of Rock Art and Early Powers in the Lower Nile Valley during the Late 4th Millennium bc
This paper is investigating the use of rock art by local/regional powers in the Lower Nile Valley in the late 4th millennium bc . It situates the rock art record in its historical and archaeological settings and proposes methodological options (which are, in some cases, still theoretical) to elucidate it further in its social context. Two research questions are addressed: the first one discusses the existence of rock art commissioned by authoriti…
Rock Art Surveys in the Sudanese Eastern Desert
The Sudanese Eastern Desert or the ‘Atbai’ is still largely unexplored from the point of view of rock art surveys. As part of the Atbai Survey Project’s fieldwork program, surveys conducted in 2018 and 2019 identified new rock art sites in the deserts around Gebel Nahoganet. Findings included a large tableau of a boat ‘fleet’ along with numerous sites yielding faunal rock art and surface remains. While a generalized boat motif is relatively commo…
Boat Burials and Boat-Shaped Pits from their Origins to the Old Kingdom
The practice of burying boats and digging boat-shaped pits inside funerary complexes belonging to Early Dynastic elites and kings is well attested in early Egypt. However, the origins of this custom and its evolution from the 1st Dynasty until the Middle Kingdom remain to be fully addressed holistically and diachronically. This paper aims to re-evaluate current data regarding Early Dynastic boat burials and boat-shaped pits, to share some insight…
De l’outil au symbole
The stocktaking work on the Egyptian lithic collections of the Lyon’s Natural History Museum-Musée Guimet (France), now located in the Confluences Museum collections, allowed one of the authors (Raphaël Angevin) in 2016 to identify an atypical Predynastic flint object. The shape of a segment of the large truncated twisted blade (“Mostagedda knife”), labelled T.1224, evokes the hull of a boat. This article aims provides a detailed technological ex…
Les stèles funéraires royales des deux premières dynasties à Abydos. À propos de la « stèle » de Den des Musées royaux d’Art et d’Histoire de Bruxelles
This paper deals with the royal stelae of the first two dynasties discovered at Abydos and, more specifically, with the "stela" of King Den exhibited at the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels (E.0562). A careful analysis shows that this object can hardly be a royal stela. This paper presents the arguments that allow us to doubt the now centenary identification of this object and then addresses the issue of the royal stelae of Abydos. It…
