ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PASSING OF RAMESSES II

The article presents a rock inscription of the Twentieth Dynasty king, Ramesses IV, found at the southern end of the Middle Hill of the Western Rock of Gebelein. It yields new evidence related to an unknown expedition sent via Gebelein to the south, and very likely, concerned with the acquisition of stone material for mortuary cult or/and king’s burial place.

The present, ninth volume of Ramesside Inscriptions, compiled and edited by Dr. Joshua A. Roberson, collects Hieratic and Hieroglyphic documents of historical and biographical interest, which have been published since 1989, when the final text volume of Kenneth Kitchen's Ramesside Inscriptions: Historical and Biographical series first appeared. The 385 texts anthologized in this new collection are presented in Hieroglyphic transcription, typeset digitally with internal and external line numbers for easy reference, primary bibliography, and select philological and palaeographic notes. The content of this material spans the full chronological range of the Ramesside Period, from Ramesses I through Ramesses XI. The subject matter is heterogeneous, including documents relating to local administration, state-sponsored construction, execution of criminals, military actions, and the accession and death of kings, among others. A series of indices, including object numbers, toponyms, ethnonyms, private names, private titles, posthumous royal names, and divine names, round out the volume and increase its utility as a tool for research.

The following article presents preliminary results of a sondage in the burial chamber (hall J) and a visual survey in the areas H, I, J, Ja-Jd, K1, K2, and L during the 2019/2020 field season carried out by The Ramesses III (KV 11) Publication and Conservation Project in the tomb of pharaoh Ramesses III.1 The detailed description and interpretation of the initial excavation work were omitted from the Second Report2 because it required more extensive discussion. The authors present their archaeological field work, their research, and the systematic examination of finds. Several unexpected finds shed new light on the use and reuse of KV 11. A sondage in the burial chamber provides insight into ancient and modern activities within the tomb. Additionally, more information is presented on photogrammetry in KV 11 as well as a provisional sketch of a site management plan centered on the digitization of a visitors’ itinerary. The work was carried out under the supervision of the Egyptian Mi...

This article is dedicated to the study and comparison of the inscriptions and iconography of the red granite colossal statue in the British Museum, inv. no. AES 61. The idea behind this paper was to demonstrate how the rigorous application of iconographical analysis of facial features can contribute to the precise dating of the classical pharaonic sculptures. This procedure when applied to the above-mentioned statue allows to conclude that it was originally conceived for Amenhotep II and usurped, later on, by Ramesses II and his successor Merenptah – not by modifying or changing its original facial features, but only by adding their own cartouches.
