Akhet Neheh - Studies in Honour of Willem Hovestreydt on Occasion of His 75th Birthday (Paperback)

This Festschrift contains current research about the symbolism of hieroglyphs, religious texts, depictions and graffiti from the royal tomb KV 11 and museum objects from Leyden, Chicago, Cambridge, Paris and Berlin. It covers i.a. the virtual reunion of the sarcophagus of Ramesses III and of a statue of Ramesses VI. This Festschrift in honour of Willem Hovestreydt contains 13 articles on current research, mainly focusing on the Egyptian New Kingdom. The honoured one and several contributors work on a project recording the tomb of Ramses III. Therefore several articles focus on the symbolism of hieroglyphs, religious texts, depictions and graffiti from the royal tomb KV 11 (the burial place of king Ramses III in the Valley of the Kings) . Further contributions include discussions on museum objects from Leiden, Chicago, Cambridge, Paris and Berlin. There is a virtual reunion of the sarcophagus of Ramesses III and of a statue of Ramesses VI. Other studies focus in the sun sign in hieroglyphic script, a discussion of the word 'fox' in ancient Egyptian, as well as as new look at the relief of Merymery now in Leiden.
