  • Structure of an Ancient Egyptian Tomb Inferred from Ground‐Penetrating Radar Imaging of Deflected Overburden Horizons

    Open AccessAdam Booth, Adam D Booth et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Prospection2014Cited by: 1References: 5

    Geophysical data acquisitions in most archaeological campaigns aim to image the target structure directly. The presence of a target, however, may be inferred from its interaction with surrounding layers, if its relationship with those layers can be characterized sufficiently. In this paper, we show the use of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) to detect the subsurface continuation of the Ancient Egyptian tomb of the high‐official Karakhamun (Theban T…

    Open AccessElena PischikovaCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Mentuemhat (mntw‐m‐h3t) was one of the most prominent and powerful figures of the late Kushite‐early Saite Dynasties under the rule of Taharqo and Psamtik I. Fourth Priest of Amun, Mayor of Thebes, and Governor of Upper Egypt, he had more power and control over the Upper Egyptian administration and clergy than his formal titles indicate.

Each image represents a lily flower with two symmetrically curved petals and two elements hanging from the underside of the petals.2 The lat…

  • Representations of Ritual and Symbolic Objects in Late XXVth Dynasty and Saite Private Tombs

    Elena Pischikova, E V PischikovaARTICLEJournal of the American Research…1994

    Although several scholars have recently investigated aspects of relief decoration in Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Dynasty tombs and temples at Thebes, little attention has been given to depictions of so-called objects of a ritual or symbolic nature. This study will examine the representation of several categories of such objects, including the jars for the seven sacred oils, the lily, the lotus, the formal bouquet {Stabstrauss), and sacrificial …
