Projet Karnak : Achèvement de la mise en ligne de la Chapelle-reposoir de Philippe Arrhidée / The Bark-shrine of Philip Arrhidaeus is now fully available online

http://sith.huma-num.fr/karnak/2610

Reposoir permanent de la barque divine, il occupe le même emplacement que la chapelle-reposoir de Thoutmosis III, insérée dans le complexe du « Palais de Maât » construit sous le règne d’Hatchepsout. Longtemps considérée comme une copie fidèle de l’édifice de Thoutmosis III, la chapelle-reposoir de Philippe Arrhidée, bien qu’étant largement inspirée par la construction thoutmoside, présente des spécificités notables.

Begun in 2014, the online publication of the scenes and inscriptions of the Chapel of Philip Arrhidaeus is now complete. All hieroglyphic inscriptions of this monument with transliteration and bibliography, old photographic documentation as well as a new complete high definition photographic survey are available in the Karnak project.

As a permanent repository for the divine bark, it is located in the same place as the chapel of Thutmosis III, which was inserted into the complex of the “Palace of Maât” built during the reign of Hatshepsut. Long considered as a faithful copy of the Thutmosis III building, Philip Arrhidaeus’s chapel, although largely inspired by the Thutmoside construction, has some remarkable features.

Publication : Bernard Mathieu, Les textes de la pyramide de Pépy Ier, MIFAO 142, 2018

The inscribed walls of the inner chambers and corridors of Pepy Ist’s pyramid, the third Pharaoh of the VIth Dynasty (c. 2330-2280), offer the largest set of Pyramid Texts known. Based on the previous publication of these texts in facsimiles (MIFAO 118/1-2), a 2nd edition of which came out in 2010., the present translation includes additional material, especially from Merenre’s and queen Ankhesenpepy II’s pyramids, the last one discovered in 2000 by the French-Swiss archaeological Mission of Saqqâra (MafS).

The translation of about 800 spells, including 81 “new” ones (PT 1001-1081), is preceded by a general presentation of the whole corpus.

Publication : Guillaume Charloux, Christophe Thiers, Le temple de Ptah à Karnak III. La Favissa, TravCFEETK, BiGen 55, 2019

In December 2014, excavation near the temple of Ptah in Karnak uncovered a favissa –a pit filled with objects– dug a few meters behind the shrine of the god. The pit contained thirty-eight objects, statues, statuettes and statuary elements, in limestone, greywacke, copper alloy and Egyptian frit, sometimes gilded. The visualization and analysis of the favissa filling has been made possible by the use of modern photogrammetric survey, and 3D modeling methods. Dug at the end of the Ptolemaic Period, the pit housed a New Kingdom broken statue of the god Ptah, surrounded by religious artefacts and many Osirian bronzes, most of the objects dating back to the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period (especially 25th and 26th Dynasties). The analysis and the interpretation of the data lead, in this volume, to look at the Egyptian sacred caches as a whole, and to consider the present deposit as a testimony of the burial of a statue of the god Ptah in an Osirian ritual context.

في ديسمبـر 2014، كشفت أعمال الحفائر بمحيط معبد بتاح عن خبيئة ‐ عبارة عن حفرة مُلئت بلقى ‐ حُفرت على بعد أمتــار قليلة خلف مقصورة الإله، وتحوي هذه الحفــرة عدد 38 من اللقى المتنوعة: تماثيل مختلفة الأحجام وعناصر من تماثيل من الحجر الجيري ومن حجر الجريواك وسبائك النحاس بالإضافة إلى الفيانس المصري وفي بعض الأحيان تكون هذه اللقى مذهبة.

لقد أصبح من الممكن تصور وتحليل هذه الخبيئة باستخدام المسح التصويري الحديث والنماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد. حفرت هذه الخبيئة في نهاية العصر البطلمي، وحوت على تمثال مكسور للإله بتاح من عصر الدولة الحديثة أحيط بعدد من اللقى الأثرية وكثير من التماثيل البرونزية الأوزيرية، ومعظم هذه اللقى يؤرخ لها بعصر الانتقال الثالث والعصر المتأخر(خاصة الأسرتين 25 و26).

إن تحليل وتفسير البيانات في هذا الكتاب يرشدنا إلى الأخذ بعين الاعتبار الخبايا المصرية المقدسة ككل واعتبار المحتوى الحالي كدليل على دفن تمثال الإله بتاح في سياق الطقوس الأوزيرية.
