The Strength of the Deir el Medina Workforce in the Years Following the Ramesside Renaissance
This article has a critical look at J.-C. Antoine’s research on the Deir el Medina workforce following the reign of Ramses XI as published in ZÄS 146 (2019). For the two reigns following the Renaissance the strength of the workforce is established by combining the workmen named in an ostracon or graffito with those of earlier and later sources. It is shown that Antoine’s conclusion that the workforce still functioned under a third reign following…
Butehamun and the God’s Wife of Amun Maatkare Mutemhat
In this article it is argued that the traditional view concerning the Gods Wife of Amun Maatkare is untenable. It is impossible to square the date of her coffins with her appearance as a young girl during the reign of Smendes. In 1984 A. Niwiński published an article in which he postulated the existence of no less than three scribes called Butehamun. Although his hypothesis was very soon afterwards falsified, the problems with the funeral equipme…
Nodjmet A, Daughter of Amenhotep, Wife of Piankh and Mother of Herihor
For Queen Nodjmet two funeral papyri are known. In this article it is argued that both should be ascribed to the mother of Herihor (Nodjmet A) rather than to his wife (Nodjmet B). This would make Nodjmet A the wife of HPA Piankh, and her mother, Hrere, the wife of HPA Amenhotep. Hrere, who is attested with the title “king’s mother”, is here interpreted as the mother of king Khakheperre Pinuzem and as the grandmother of both Nodjmet B and HPA Masa…
Introducing the Banishment Stele into the 20 th Dynasty
This article deals with the consequences of dating the Banishment Stele (Louvre C. 256) to the period immediately following the suppression of the High Priest of Amun, Amenhotep. It is postulated that the suppression was ended by a coalition of Ramses XI Menmare with Psusennes I, normally thought to have reigned much later. The latter sent his general/High Priest, Menkheperre, who temporarily took over the Theban high priesthood but had to withdr…
The Lunar Eclipse of Takelot II and the Chronology of the Libyan Period
In this article the author presents an ultra short chronology for the Libyan Period. After having established tentative dates for the kings from Take-lot II to Shoshenk V, solely on the basis of historical material (e.g. Apis burials and non Egyptian sources), the resulting model is tested using astronomical evidence, which ultimately leads to the discovery of the infamous “missing eclipse” of year 15 of Take-lot II, an awkward problem that has h…
