The shifting Nile and the origins and development of ancient Karnak

Antiquity, 2021

Recent archaeological excavation in the Ptah temple, however, has reached its earliest levels, providing a first, securely dated stratigraphic sequence. Despite flood risks, the development of the religious complex c. 2200–2000 BC was made possible by the retreating Nile riverbank. Thus, the river and the expanding Karnak temple complex played major roles in the takeover of Egypt by the Eleventh Dynasty rulers and the growth of the new capital at Thebes, a potent combination of forces—fluvial, religious and secular—encountered among other early state powers.

The afterlife of Egyptian statues: a cache of religious objects in the temple of Ptah at Karnak

Antiquity, 2017

The relationship of statues to the deities they represent is reflected in the special treatments ... more The relationship of statues to the deities they represent is reflected in the special treatments they were often accorded during and after their primary use and display. In 2014 an unusual favissa-an intentionally hidden cache of religious objects-was discovered in the temple of Ptah at Karnak in Egypt. Such caches are generally poorly documented and difficult to date. The favissa contained numerous fragmentary statuettes and figurines, including 14 representing Osiris, carefully arranged around a larger central statue of Ptah. By comparing this cache with evidence from other Egyptian favissae, a hypothesis is proposed to explain the creation of such caches: the Osirian burial of an artefact, in this case the deposition of the 'deceased' statue of the god Ptah and its assimilation with Osiris, the god of rebirth.

A Classification of ‘Sacred’ Caches in Ancient Egypt

Statues in Context, 2020

In this paper, we have tried to consider the context of discovery of the caches as a priority. Through this examination, we propose to identify among caches of sacred artefacts those that can really be characterised as ‘sacred’ (that is to say, having received a liturgical burial at the hands of the temple clergy), by establishing a classification according to common and objective criteria.

L’analyse des vestiges en briques, a la fois tres deteriores et difficiles d’acces decouverts sous le temple, revele un edifice anterieur en brique compose de trois salles mais dont l’orientation differe de celle du temple thoutmoside. La composition tripartite est toutefois comparable au temple en pierre, analogie qui permet de proposer que le temple anterieur ait pu, des l’origine, avoir les memes fonctions que son successeur : un sanctuaire consacre a Ptah et a Hathor et un lieu d’accueil lors des sorties processionnelles d’Amon.
