Description:

This is the first volume of the new Studia Aegyptiaca series, published in cooperation with the Department of Egyptology, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. The series aims to publish the results of the activities of the Hungarian Archaeological Mission in the Thebes necropolis.

This two-volume work reports on the Hungarian excavation (1983-1998) of the imposing tomb, and its pyramid monument, of Djehutymes, the Theban tomb of a high-ranking official during Ramesses II’s reign. The research and fieldwork in and around the monument started under the leadership of Prof. László Kákosy in 1983. Since then, a number of Hungarian egyptologists and other specialists joined the research, and the excavation revealed not only the rock-cut halls, chambers and passages, but the open forecourts, pylons and even the remains of the pyramid-like mud superstructure with those of a decorated shrine. Robbed of its original incumbent shortly after its completion, several later mummies and burials were discovered in the tomb, including Greco-Roman remains, accompanied by a variety of multi-period objects. This study presents detailed reports on the archaeological and architectural discoveries, including inscriptions, statues, paintings and friezes. It also looks at the religious symbolism of the paintings and reliefs in the monument, their secenes from everyday life and their portrayals of Djehutymes and his family. Finally, the graffiti and religious texts are considered. The second volume presents the plates, several of which are in colour.
