This journal focuses on Egyptology, which encompasses ancient history and archaeology. Archaeology is a subfield of anthropology, and historical studies with cultural or social scope are closely cognate, making this venue highly relevant

A Female Egyptian Statuette in the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid
In this paper, a silver sculpture that entered the Egyptian collection of the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid, in 2005 is studied. It is a striding figure on a rectangular base, registered as an image of the Egyptian goddess Khereduankh, and dated to the Ptolemaic Period. In this study, a possible attribution to the goddess Renpetneferet is not ruled out and the results of a metallographic analysis are used to establish a more accurate date o…
The Fate of Expatriate Temples
The Nubia Salvage Campaign involved the movement and relocation of temples and other archaeological remains on an unprecedented scale. Criteria and recommendations were established to ensure the integrity of the temples and their preservation, and to maintain as far as possible some link with the environment to which they belonged. Four temples were also selected for transfer to other countries. For the latter, conservation in museums was emphasi…
The God Shed at Amarna
During the Amarna Period (fourteenth century BCE), Akkadian and Hittite texts attest a lethal epidemic that spread from Egypt to Syria and the land of Hatti. DNA studies conducted on the mummies of Tutankhamun and two other members of the royal family (Thuya and Yuya) confirmed that they had been infected with malaria. Excavations at the Southern and Northern Tombs reveal evidence of traces of dietary deficiency, diseases, and heavy workloads. Th…
Cultural Similarities between Ancient Egypt and Byzantium
This paper is intended as a joint tribute to the scholarship of Egyptologist Erik Hornung and Byzantinist Cyril Mango, both of whom recently passed away. Drawing on Hornung’s Idea Into Image as a starting point for Egyptological insights, this paper seeks to establish such a correspondence. Shared features of the two cultures include their self-belief, theocratic disposition, bureaucracy, longevity, feigned immutability, preoccupation with order,…
Napatan Tomb Decorations. Loans from Private Theban Burials in the Royal Kushite Necropolises
This paper deals with the funerary architecture of the royal necropolises of the Napata Kingdom where an evident influence comes from the Theban elitist models of the Asasif. These decorative loans were randomly chosen and in use in Nubia following a specific local taste in relation to the layout of the tombs, their figurative and epigraphical decorations. They show an independent, adaptive and selective emulation, as well as a personal mingling …
Preliminary Report on the Third and Fourth Seasons of the New Kingdom Scribes Project (2021−2022)
During the third and fourth seasons of fieldwork, the New Kingdom Scribes Project undertook epigraphic, conservation, cleaning and documentation tasks in the burial chambers of TT 61 and TT 87. The aims included: the continuation of the epigraphic study and the restoration of the walls of the burial chambers; the systematic cleaning of the underground structures in TT 87; the detailed digital documentation of both monuments once the archaeologica…
Songs and Hymns for Hathor as Gold from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. Part I. Corpora of Texts and Complementary Document
The form of Hathor as Nbw ‘Gold’ is one of her least known aspects before the Graeco-Roman period and lacks a specific study. This is partly due to the nature of the sources for the period between the Old Kingdom and the end of the Late Period. In them, she emerges as one of the oldest deities to appear in songs and hymns, dating back to the second half of the Old Kingdom. Analysis of these hymnic and musical contexts provides insights into the E…
A New Meaning of the Expression s.t-wr.t
The present article proposes a new connotation to the expression s.t-wr.t, “Great Place”, that could be added to the several meanings that Egyptology has already bestowed on this term. It will be shown that the s.t-wr.t could also refer to the place where, during the Ramesside period the king was crowned and received the signs of the Sed-Festival, as part of the ceremonies confirming royal power
"The Emerald Mines of Wadi Sikait (Egypt) from a Diachronic Perspective. Results of the 2020 and 2021 Seasons of the Sikait Project "
This article outlines the preliminary results of the fieldwork carried out by the Sikait Project, in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, in the Smaragdos area (Egyptian Eastern Desert). Our work is focused on the study of the beryl/emerald mining in the Roman and Late Antique periods, from a diachronic perspective. By the end of the 2021 season, some 150 mines had been identified. The total area so far of the delimited mining zones is about 100,000 m2
Gift-exchange in the Amarna Letters
In this article, we will look at the concept of reciprocal gifts and gift-exchanges in the corpus known as the Amarna letters. In order to observe reciprocity in the Amarna letters, we will ascertain the presence of a return gift for every present sent, as well as the idea of reciprocity in the repetition of said structure of gift-exchange. In the Amarna letters, we bear witness to an important network of contacts established between Near Eastern…
An Overview of the Nature and Functions of the Bovine Goddess Sematweret in the Old Kingdom
This paper presents an analysis of the Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts that refer to the aurochs-deity Sematweret. This study will consider the writing of her name, her physical attributes and the actions in which she is involved, mainly as the mother of the deceased. For a better understanding of this deity, it is also relevant to examine the relationship with other female deities, such as Nekhbet or the White Crown, and with divinities that appear al…
Lifting Work and Building Time at the 4th Dynasty Pyramids
"Earlier studies about how long it took to build the great stone pyramids focused on the cubic amounts of masonry which is not an adequate parameter for determining the achievement of pyramid builders. Rather, the appropriate parameter is lifting work measured in Joules – in brief, the product of mass multiplied by lifting height. Provided lifting of a block took on average the same time at the 4th dynasty pyramid construction sites, then there w…
Generation of Identities and Space
When discussing the presence of a Near Eastern component in the Egyptian Nile Delta, a simple description of the archaeological material will not provide the necessary answers. Traditional culture-historical approaches have occupied a considerable amount of the bibliography dedicated to ancient population studies. Cultural, social, and economic traits have been derived from studies of pottery, sculpture, and personal objects, as well as funerary …
The Dual Solar (Solstitial) and Cardinal Orientation in Planning the Middle Kingdom Funerary Complexes in Qubbet el-Hawa
The Qubbet el-Hawa necropolis, located on the west bank of the Nile, was the burial site chosen by the elite of Elephantine, from the Old Kingdom to the Middle Kingdom, and became one of the most important provincial cemeteries in the country. The hill affects the course of the River Nile and determines the disposition of the hypogea distributed between its two slopes (southeast and northeast). Therefore, the topography (and the river) determined…
The Imitation Phenomenon The Imitation Phenomenon During the Thinite Age
The most important evolution in the royal architecture of Ancient Egypt was probably the emergence of pyramidal architecture. This revolutionary new concept, started with Netjerkhet’s step pyramid, does not have a clear architectural explanation in the Egyptological context. Most scholars argue that the emerging solar cult was the only clue to this transformation. The present work shows that pyramidal architecture was the result of mixing the cle…
Violencia física contra el infante en el antiguo Egipto
Did child abuse really exist in ancient Egypt? There are two possible issues to consider in order to answer this question. On the one hand, there is barely any information about these cases in the Egyptian sources. On the other hand, it is not appropriate to use a modern term to make reference to issues of an ancient culture. In fact, the ancient cultures, and above all the Egyptian one, could have a different point of view about life and childre…
Parámetros de clasificación zoológica comparados
This study aims to lay the foundations for a further research project in which, through a comparative methodology, a zootechnical compendium of graphic representations linked to semantic content characteristic of the birds in the two main pre-Aristotelian classification traditions of Antiquity, Egypt and Mesopotamia, is carried out in order to establish their points of contact, affinities, possible affiliations and constitutive divergences. Focus…
Realignments of Memory
The Prophecies of Neferty, whose sole complete copy is preserved on Papyrus Hermitage 1116B recto, has a narrative frame situated during Sneferu’s reign. A great part of it describes the time of chaos (isft) during the First Intermediate Period, with order (mAat) finally being redeployed by Amenemhet I. Considering the above, in this paper we aim to comprehend the ways maet is used to construct an idealized image of the past in Neferty. In order …
As serpentes vindas do Médio Oriente nos Textos das Pirâmides. Reflexão sobre as relações egípcias-orientais nos textos religiosos mais antigos
The Pyramid Texts created in Ancient Egypt and contextualised by the belief in life beyond death, were intended to accompany the deceased in their journey to the Hereafter, to protect and ensure the realisation of their needs there. The oldest religious texts demonstrate positive aspects, delight and lust for life and, due to the fact that they were composed in order to assist the pharaoh on his way to the sky and the true existence of the king i…
El acto sexual como agente del (re)nacimiento de Osiris
One of the most important myths of the Ancient Egypt civilization is Osiris’ cyclical myth. Even though not enough attention has been given to it, one of the most important mythemes is the sexual act between the god and Isis. This sexual act establishes two pillars of the monarchy in Ancient Egypt: the conception and the subsequent birth of Horus (the archetype of the earthly Egyptian king) and Osiris’ (re)birth (king of the Underworld and archet…
Las mujeres de la elite en el Reino Antiguo, ¿un grupo social incapaz de actuar
During the Old Kingdom, we can observe numerous instances of female tomb owners, who constituted the center of the iconographic and textual program of tombs and individual chapels. Thus, these women from the elite may have had some social power related to their status, as well as an autonomous capacity of ostentation, both elements that were linked to male qualities. Although various scenes were directly integrated, without any change, in those t…
Dos falsificaciones ramésidas y una propuesta de clasificación tipológica de las piezas dudosas
The purpose of this paper is to publish the research carried out on two pieces housed in public collections in Madrid, Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid and Museo Cerralbo respectively. The two objects came to Spain in the second half of the 19th century through private collectors. One of them carries a cartouche of the pharaoh Ramesses I, while the other displays a form of the praenomen of king Sethi I. We think that neither of them was crea…
Apelaciones, deseos y mensajes para la eternidad. El llamado a los vivos en las estelas abideanas del Reino Medio
The appeal to the living refers to some inscriptions left by the deceased on their graves and funerary monuments allowing any visitor to read and recite them in order to perpetuate their name, their memory and guarantee the symbolic provision of offerings. The appeal to the living has been known since the end of the Old Kingdom and can be found throughout the Pharaonic history. In this paper, we will analyse the appeals to the living found in a l…
Ofrendas en el Inframundo
The Book of the Twelve Caverns consists of a litany of deities who inhabited these mythical regions of the Beyond. The versatility of its cosmographic nature enabled its use and adaptation to different contexts. It was used in certain liturgical ceremonies in temples and also in a funerary sphere related to the burial equipment of certain deceased individuals in order to help them in their journey through the caverns of the Duat. The version of t…
Retorno a lo múltiple. Metodología y análisis del programa iconográfico de la segunda sala hipóstila del templo de Seti I en Abidos
The set of scenes present in the second hypostyle hall of the temple of Sety I in Abydos allows us to carry out a study of its reliefs in order to approach the meaning of the attitudes, attributes, vestments, crowns and rituals, both of the king and the gods. To this end, the hall has been divided into sections, and its 323 scenes have been subjected to a meticulous analysis, and also for a deconstruction of its constituent parts. All this has pe…

Horus, el huérfano
espanolHorus es una de las divinidades mas importantes del panteon egipcio, personificacion del heredero legitimo al trono y del que todo faraon era la encarnacion terrestre. Pero solemos pasar por alto los aspectos humanos de esta divinidad, como por ejemplo su condicion de huerfano. Horus, el hijo de Isis, es amamantado, criado y protegido por esta. Horus, el hijo de Osiris, es el heredero de su padre. Pero uno de los personajes que acompanan a…

La violencia doméstica en el Egipto antiguo
Los relatos mitológicos, los textos literarios, los documentos legales y algunos estudios paleopatológicos \ndemuestran que la violencia doméstica fue una constante de la vida en el Egipto antiguo.
