The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife
Magical Bricks and the Bricks of Birth
Four mud-bricks inscribed with spells from Chapter 151 of the Book of the Dead are often found in the burial chambers of royal and elite tombs dating from the New Kingdom. These bricks can be shown to represent the four bricks that supported women during childbirth. The use of bricks in a mortuary context is thus metaphorical, replicating the equipment of an earthly birth in order to ensure the deceased's rebirth into the other world. Such bricks…
Magical Bricks and the Bricks of Birth
The Meaning of Menial Labor
Serdabs, the inaccessible chambers adjoining elite tomb chapels of the Old Kingdom period, were built to hold of the tomb owner, members of his family, and other dependents.1 In the late Fourth Dynasty, and more commonly after the middle of the Fifth Dynasty, serdabs also began to include small depicting people performing everyday tasks, most often some aspect of food preparation, such as grinding grain and straining beer.

The Absent Spouse
In a typical Egyptian decorated tomb, the male tomb owner is accompanied in many scenes by his supportive wife. She is often shown standing or seated beside him, on the same or a smaller scale, an arm affectionately wrapped around his shoulder or waist. With him, she enjoys musical entertainment, inspects agricultural activities, or receives offerings. She may even be shown independently of her husband, mourning his death. In some tombs, however,…

Fingers, Stars, and the ‘Opening of the Mouth’
In JEA 78, it was argued that the ‘opening of the mouth’ ritual of the Egyptian mortuary cult re-enacted the transitions of birth and childhood in order to render the reborn dead person mature enough to eat an adult meal. Here its central act, the opening of the mouth itself, is shown to mimic the clearing of a newborn's mouth with the little fingers. Originally, the gesture resembled that of anointing; later the fingers were replaced by the fing…
Fingers, Stars, and the 'Opening of the Mouth'
Social Change in the Fourth Dynasty
The advent of the Fourth Dynasty of pharaonic Egypt marked a radical break with the first three dynasties. This break is most visible in the new shape of the era's most substantial archaeological remains, the royal pyramids and their surrounding mortuary complexes (see fig. 1). In the Third Dynasty, royal tombs took the form of stepped pyramids, surrounded by dummy buildings and enclosed in a rectangle of high, niched walls, with its long axis no…

The Psš-kf and the ‘Opening of the Mouth’ Ceremony
In archaeological and textual evidence alike, the psš-kf-knife consistently occurs as part of the same collection of objects. In the Pyramid Texts, these objects are presented in a sequence that is the earliest attested form of the ‘opening of the mouth’ ceremony. The speeches accompanying the presentations suggest that the psš-kf and the objects associated with it were the equipment for a ritual mimicking birth and childhood, and that the role o…
In the Shadow of the Pyramids
The Organization of Royal Cemeteries at Saqqara in the Old Kingdom
The rows of mastabas in organized ranks that surround the pyramid of Khufu at Giza have often been cited as a clear visual expression of the highly developed government administration of Egypt in the 4th dynasty and of the central position of the king within it. Underlying this analogy is the assumption that tomb sites were assigned according to some sort of rule, and hence that the pattern of spatial organization in corresponds to some administr…
