Tell el-Amarna is the modern name for the ancient Egyptian city of
Akhenaten, situated in a bay of hills formed by the cliffs of the
eastern desert about halfway between Cairo and Luxor. The city was
founded in the 14th century BC by the Pharaoh Akhenaten to be a
royal palace for himself and his wife Nefertiti, the capital of all
Egypt, and the center of the state cult of the Sun God in the form
of Aten (sun disc), which became an obsession of the Pharaoh. The
city contained temples, palaces, state buildings and great private
mansions, but was abandoned by Akhenaten’s successor, his son
Tutenkhamen. The city was demolished, never to be re-inhabited.
This volume presents a detailed, illustrated catalogue of the many
statues, statuettes, reliefs, inlays and inscriptions recorded and
collected by Flinders Petrie, together with glass and faience
objects and moulds. Part II provides a summary of developments in
royal names and titles with a discussion on research into names and
evidence of royal status. This series comprises facsimile re-issues
of typological catalogues produced between 1898 and 1937 by W.M.
Flinders Petrie, based on his vast collection of Egyptian artefacts
which now reside in The Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese
Archaeology, University College, London. Long out of print, the
catalogues were re-issued in facsimile by publishers Aris &
Phillips in the 1970s alongside newly-commissioned titles by
contemporary experts. Petrie’s catalogues remain invaluable
source material today. The Oxbow Classics in Egyptology series now
makes a selection of these important resources available again in
print for a new generation of students and scholars.
