This volume features all the graffiti from the Baboon and Falcon
galleries at the Sacred Animal Necropolis, North Saqqara, excavated
by the Egypt Exploration Society by Bryan Emery between 1966 and
1971. The graffiti include dedications to the god Imhotep with an
important historical content, and masons' marks which show some of
the construction history of the galleries. There is also a Greek
graffito listing the contents of dreams or visions, and a series of
dedications on bronze temple furniture which mention a hitherto
unknown god. Jars with hieroglyphic signs shed light on one of the
main characters found in the Greek Hermetic literature, and a
selection of ostraca give insights into the management of the
animal cults.
