Texts, architecture, and works of art often referred to elements of the remote past. This revival of the past is known as “archaism,” provided that there was a substantial gap in time between the model and the copy, and that the elements referred to had fallen out of use. Archaism appears to have been an elite phenomenon and is found in the royal as well as the (elite) non-royal sphere. It occurred during the Pharaonic Period, from at least the Old Kingdom onward, and was most obvious during the Third Intermediate and Late Periods

In Tomb I, the hitherto unknown decorated burial chamber was reached in the main shaft. In addition, the tomb of the nomarch Mesehti was relocated.

This paper aims to complete the previous study, and publish all the accessible inscriptions of the Eastern and Northern Walls that are legible enough to be all intelligible. The texts presented here are based also on copies that were made on the spot and collated with the originals. Altenmüller, Hartwig Anubis mit der Scheibe im Mythos von der Geburt des Gottkönigs S. 15-35, Taf. 6 Im Mittelpunkt von Szene 15 des Zyklus von der Geburt des Gottkönigs steht die Beschneidung des designierten Gottkönigs. Die Szene besitzt Vorläufer im Alten und Mittleren Reich. Der Beitrag sucht nach einer Erklärung für die Rolle des Anubis, der in der Beschneidungsszene eine Scheibe vor sich her rollt. Durch einen Vergleich mit den Bildsequenzen der Zaubermesser des Mittleren Reiches lässt sich wahrscheinlich machen, dass die Szene den Gott Anubis mit dem Sonnenauge abbildet, der das Sonnenauge an den Sonnengott übergibt. Baumann, Stefan Der saisonale Aspekt der Ressortgötter in der Opfereingangskammer von Edfu S. 37-57 In the Horus Temple of Edfu the offerings that were required for the cult were brought into the temple through the side door of chamber Y. In accordance with the function of the chamber, reliefs on each of its two inner door lintels show six gods that offer specific products. These offerings provide an overview of the kind of products that passed through that room. By means of the sequence of the gods and the agricultural events, which are implied by their inscriptions, it is possible to conclude that on an additional level of understanding each of the Egyptian seasons is represented by one pair of gods, who symbolize by their arrangement the course of the year on each lintel.

From 19 th August to 25 th September 2008 the Egyptian-German joint mission of Sohag University and the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz conducted its sixth season of fieldwork 1 in the ancient necropolis of Asyut situated in the western mountains (Gebel Asyut al-gharbi). 2 In addition, the mission studied objects in the magazine at Shutb from 19 th August to 25 th September 2008. 3 Fieldwork focused on Level 7 including the forecourt of Tomb N13.1, Tomb V, Tomb N11.1, the Tomb of the Dogs, surveying L evel 3 to 5 (from Tomb I up to Tomb III) and the mapping of the necropolis. Mapping of the necropolis (Fig. 1) continued surveying the middle part of Gebel Asyut algharbi. The survey helped clarify the position of a dogs' tomb which was mentioned by early travelers (cf. below). In addition, a small concentration of cat bones on Level 5 was observed. Work also continued in Tomb V. While carrying away more than four metres of standing debris, small parts of wall decoration were detected. Tomb Nl 1.1 was partly cleaned for use as a magazine for the mission's equipment after closing the gebel. Tomb Nl 1.1 consists of a row of three pillars and five shafts as well as an unfinished shaft. Based on a naming mistake by H. W. Muller, this undecorated tomb was erroneously named Tomb of Iti-ibi in Egyptology. 4 ' During the fieldwork we received full cooperation and encouragement from the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

La principale raison en est la découverte des inscriptions de la tombe U-j (environ 3320 av.J-C) à Umm cl-Qacab/Abydos (Naqada llla2/Naqada IIIAl). Les 525 inscriptions connues à présent et datant d'avant la I ère dynastie autorisent une « plongée » aux origines de l'écriture hiéroglyphique-relativement au matériel inscrit et écrit, tout aussi bien qu'en ce qui concerne les graphies des mots et le stock des signes. La répartition des inscriptions s'est accrue au cours du temps, avant la 1ère dynastie. Pour le règne de Nar-me1� elles sont déjà attestées sur 17 sites. Ceci prouve à l'évidence qu'il existait un corps consti tué d'un grand nombre de scribes. Les mots étaient écrits en différentes séquences de signes. Une tendance à la standardisation n'est pas encore certaine. Le nom d'Horns du roi Nar-mer, par exemple, est attesté sous 15 graphies différentes. Le choix d'une graphie cependant n'est pas apparue par hasard en dépit de la multiplicité des possibi lités. Ainsi la forme longue du nom de Nar-mer se trouvait particulièrement exprimée sur des objets représentatifs, mais la forme courte ,,Nar" occupait des supports plus fonctionnels.
