The panel’s openwork design finds its closest parallels in two-dimensional representations of funerary furnishing that suggest that this particular object formed part of the panoply of a sacred animal, suggested to have been a bull, the cults of which were supported by Amasis at Saqqara. Those comparisons call into question the function of all of the wooden panels embellished with glass inlays dated to the Late Period (given in Appendix) and whether the term, naos, is an appropriate designation for all such objects. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000تم اكتشاف لوحة خشبية مخرمة منقوشة لأمازيس مزينة بتطعيمات زجاجية ومذهبة في عام 2018 من قبل البعثة الأثرية الفرنسية- السويسرية في جنوب سقارة في سياق أثري مضطرب مليء ببقايا الهياكل العظمية البقرية في القسم الجنوبي من مجمع هرم الملكة عنخ-نس- بيبي الثانية. يعد تصميم اللوحة المخرمة قريب من التمثيلات ثنائية الأبعاد للأثاث الجنائزي التي تشير إلى أن هذه اللوحة كانت تشكل جز ًءا من لوحة حيوان مقدس، يُقترح أنه كان ثو ًرا، وهي الطائفة التي دعمها أمازيس في سقارة. هذه المقارنات تثير التساؤل حول وظيفة جميع الألواح الخشبية المزخرفة بتطعيمات زجاجية التي تعود إلى العصر المتأخر (الواردة في الملحق) وما إذا كان المصطلح ناووس هو تسمية مناسبة \u0000لجميع هذه القطع. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":341132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123016231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to respond to some questions raised about hieratic ligature signs, such as did the ancient Egyptian scribe have reasons and motives that made him choose either a connected or a separate spelling when writing a word, and was there a standard way to write ligature words rather than others?

For the first time, officials of non-royal descent were able to hold positions within the higher levels of the administration, and Re became an integral part of the dogma of divine kingship. These occurrences may have caused some concern for the king, who seems to have taken profound measures to ensure that both his administration and Re’s powerful priesthood remained under his control. The titulary of two successive officials, Seshathetep [G 5150] and Kanefer [Dahshur no. 28, EA 1324 and EA 1345], demonstrate that the vizierate and the High Priesthood of Re were held by the same royal official for much of the Fifth Dynasty. The concentration of these two titles into the hands of the same individual is previously unattested and may indicate some apprehension about the dispersion of these titles amongst the non-royal administration, and perhaps the need to keep the Re cult under the king’s watchful eye. Using blood ties to ensure that these officials were loyal, trustworthy and reliable may have created a much-needed sense of security for the king, who may have been unsure about the integrity of his newly appointed court. \u0000 \u0000شهدالنصفالأولمنالأسرةالخامسةفيمصرالقديمةعدًدامنالتغييراتالإداريةوالعقائدية.وتمكنالمسؤولونلأولمرةمنأصلغير ملكي من شغل مناصب إدارية عليا، وأصبح رع جز ًءا لا يتجزأ من عقيدة الملكية الإلهية. ربما تسببت هذه الأحداث في بعض القلق للملك، الذي يبدو أنه اتخذ إجراءات حاسمة لضمان بقاء إدارته وكهنة رع الأقوياء تحت سيطرته. يُظهر اللقب الخاص باثنين من المسؤولين المتعاقبين، سشات-حيب ]5150 G[ وكا-نفر ]1324 EA و1345 EA[، أن منصب الوزير والكهنوت الأعلى للإله رع كانا تحت حكم نفس المسؤول الملكي في معظم فترة الأسرة الخامسة. إن تركيز هذين المنصبين في أيدي نفس الشخص لم يتم التحقق منه من قبل وقد يشير إلى بعض التخوف من تشتت هذه الألقاب بين الإدارة الغير ملكية، وربما الحاجة إلى إبقاء عبادة رع تحت سيطرة الملك. ومن الممكن أن استخدام الصلات العائلية للتأكدمنإخلاصوولاءالمسؤولينوأنهمجديرينبالثقةويمكنالاعتمادعليهمقدخلقإحساًسابالأمنللملك،والذيربماكانغيرمتأكدمن \u0000نزاهة أفراد البلاط الملكي الذي تم تعيينه حديثًا. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":341132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121648376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially founded as a six-chambered building, the bakery was expanded in several phases to become a larger complex that housed a series of chambers dedicated primarily to large-volume hearth baking. Associated ceramics show that baking practices involved parallel use of rough-ware trays (aprt) and cylindrical bread molds (bDA). The bakery was linked by a walkway system with adjacent buildings also involved in the production and supply of offerings to the temple. One of the neighboring buildings appears to have been a companion brewery that was removed and replaced during a phase of alteration to the production area. The bakery and related structures are components of a larger shena or production zone that once extended nearly 300 meters along the edge of the Nile floodplain between the temple and town at the site of WAH-swt-¢akAwra-mAa-xrw-m-AbDw. Evidence from the bakery and neighboring structures shows that the layout of the shena was an extension of the urban plan of the town of Wah-Sut. Flanked by the main institutional buildings, the site was spatially organized around this multi-activity production zone which formed the site’s economic and industrial nucleus. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":341132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129846182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
