This book concerns the ancient rock-cut monuments carved throughout
the Near East, paying particular attention to the fate of these
monuments in the centuries after their initial production. As parts
of the landscapes in which they were carved, they acquired new
meanings in the cultural memory of the people living around them.
The volume joins numerous recent studies on the reception of
historical texts and artefacts, exploring the peculiar affordances
of these long-lasting and often salient monuments. The volume
gathers articles by archeologists, art historians, and
philologists, covering the entire Near East, from Iran to Lebanon
and from Turkey to Egypt. It also analyzes long-lasting textual
traditions that aim to explain the origins and meaning of rock-cut
monuments and other related carvings.
