Illustrated in colour and b&w with 248 illustrations. The
second monograph devoted to the work of the Theban Desert Road
Survey presents the major rock inscriptions of the northwestern
Theban Desert and the western hinterlands of Qamula. The material
includes six larger sites and several smaller collections and
individual inscriptions and images, sites discovered by the Theban
Desert Road Survey over the course of approximately twelve field
seasons. The major groupings of inscriptions, from south to north,
are the rock shrine of Pahu and the inscriptions of Gebel
Akhenaton, sites in the vicinity of the Wadi Himdaniya; a small but
interesting collection of inscriptions near the Wadi Arqub Baghla,
with two smaller, outlying sites; inscriptions of the Wadi Magar to
the north, including the site of the great Predynastic tableau with
its plethora of crocodiles, the associated vignette of
Elephant-on-the-Gebel, along with the nearby Gebel Sutekh site, and
smaller concentrations beyond; and finally the inscriptions of the
area of the Matna el-Barqa. Highlights of the epigraphic material
include new prayers to Amun and Hathor-one a genuine New Kingdom de
profundis recording an appeal to Amun during a storm on the
Nile-several important Predynastic and Protodynastic tableaux, and
the only rock art depictions of Akhenaton in a true Amarna style.
