A Battered Statue of Shedsunefertem, High Priest of Memphis (BM EA 25)
Publication of a kneeling naophorous statue in the British Museum (EA 25), now headless and much damaged. It has previously been recognised as belonging to an unidentified official, son of a high priest of Memphis called Ankhefensekhmet, and has been associated with an uninscribed head now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 66.99.64. Study of the fragmentary text shows that this son was the high priest of Memphis in the time of Sheshonq I, Shedsu…
The Tomb of Nyankhnesut (Re)discovered
The Tomb of Nyankhnesut (Re)Dis Covered
A brief account with plan of the recently identified mastaba of Nyankhnesut, an official of the Sixth Dynasty, which stands at the foot of the north-west corner of the enclosure of Sekhemkhet at Saqqara. Many of its reliefs are already in museums, particularly in the U.S.A., and little decoration survives in the tomb. The inscriptions show that the owner's many titles included that of ‘Greatest of seers of Heliopolis’

More Fragments of the Book of the Dead of Padinemty
A brief notice of the appearance on the antiquities market of more fragments of the Book of the Dead papyrus of a ‘king' Padinemty (the existence of which was first reported by R. Weill in BIFAO 49 (1950), 57-65, with pl. I) is followed by discussion of the significance of the papyrus

The Adoption of Ankhnesneferibre at Karnak
The Adoption of Ankhnesneferibre at Karnak
A new edition of the stela (Cairo JE 36907) recording the adoption of Ankhnesneferibre as heiress to the god's wife of Amun at Karnak and her subsequent accession. The physical context in which the stela might have been set up, and the Theban environment of its composition are fully considered, as are the age of the princess and the Twenty-sixth Dynasty historical background

A Late Period Block Statuette from Saft El-Henna
Publication of a limestone block statuette, formerly in the MacGregor collection and now in the Wellcome Museum, University of Swansea. The statuette, which can be dated to the mid-seventh century bc, was dedicated by a priest Aba, son of Ramose. Priestly titles link the family to Saft el-Henna
A Protective Measure at Abydos in the Thirteenth Dynasty
A new edition of stela Cairo JE 35256, discovered at Abydos at the turn of the century, which records a royal edict usurped by Neferhotep I protecting a sacred area dedicated to Wepwawet. The original promulgator of the decree is identified as Khutawyre Ugaf, and it is argued that the area in question is the depression which runs from the Osiris temple to the Umm el-Qa'ab. This served as a processional route between the temple and the tomb of Dje…

More Light on a Saite Official of the God's Wife of Amun

The Earliest Dated Monument of Amasis and the End of the Reign of Apries
The Earliest Dated Monument of Amasis and the end of the Reign of Apries
Publication of a donation stela BM 952 (year one of Amasis) followed by analysis of the sources for the civil war with Apries (P. BM 10113, Elephantine stela, cuneiform tablet BM 33041, Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus). P. BM 10113 and BM 952 together show that Apries was still recognized at Thebes in October, 570, over eight months after the first monument dated by Amasis. It is argued that Apries was in Egypt for the whole of that period and only w…

The Libyan Period in Egypt
The common assumption that the Libyans who governed Egypt during the ‘Third Intermediate Period’ ( c. 1070–715 BC) were Egyptianised is misleading. The nature and provenance of the extant evidence tends to obscure the retention of their ethnic identity, but this is apparent in the persistence of Libyan names and titles in Egypt. The influence of these Libyans can be traced in the fragmented political structure of the period, which represents dece…
