Papers by Günter Dreyer
small representations of early monarchs survive, providing important evidence for the role played by the kings of the earliest days of a newly established realm as well as the increasing development of portraiture as a method of achieving immortality and being worshipped. We also offer our opinion that the duration of the Archaic Period is from Dynasty 0 to the end of Dynasty 2, and that the onset of Dynasty 0 is approximately 3250 BC and that it ends between 100 and 150 years later. Furthermore, we analyze two statues from Dynasty 2, one of which has been incorrectly called modern, and the other mistaken for a later king because of a usurper’s re-inscription.
