Geoffrey Thorndike Martin Libri

    Geoffrey Thorndike Martin è un egittologo rinomato per le sue scoperte della tomba di Maya, tesoriere di Tutankhamon, e della tomba privata di Horemheb. Il suo esteso lavoro sul campo nella Valle dei Re e a Saqqara, comprese le scoperte della tomba di Tia, sorella di Ramses il Grande, e di altri dignitari, ha contribuito significativamente alla nostra comprensione dell'antico Egitto. I contributi accademici di Martin risiedono nel suo esame dettagliato e nell'interpretazione dei reperti archeologici, che illuminano le vite e le pratiche funerarie dell'élite egiziana. Il suo lavoro è cruciale per la comprensione della storia e dell'archeologia egiziana.

      One of the remarkable anomalies of Egyptian History is that the source material for the study of one of the country's principal settlements sites and one of the greatest cities of antiquity-Memphis-is comparatively scarce. The Memphite cemeteries, however, have yielded up masses of material, particularly for the Archaic Period and the Old Kingdom. In the New Kingdom, with which we are concerned in this volume, Memphis was a city of immense administrative and cultural importance, as well as being the seat of the royal court, and there seems little reason to doubt that many of the great officials and courtiers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and to some extent the Twentieth Dynasties were buried in Saqqara, the Memphite necropolis.

      The objects published in this catalogue by Geoffrey T. Martin are stelae (gravestones), over 350 in number, most of which commemorate administrators, priests, attendants, artisans, and others who formed part of the entourage of Egypt’s earliest kings, interred in the ancestral royal cemetery at Abydos in southern Egypt at the beginning of the fourth millennium BC. A surprising number are inscribed for women, who do not for the most part have titles, though it cannot automatically be assumed that they were members of the royal harem. Most of the stelae were excavated more than a century ago, but have never received definitive publication. Others have been found more recently by German and American expeditions. The large rectangular mud-brick tombs of the early kings were enclosed by subsidiary graves, on which the stelae studied in this volume were erected. Thus, the rulers were surrounded in death as they were in life by their officials and attendants. The inscriptions on the stelae ‒ some of the earliest in the history of mankind ‒ are fundamental not only for the analysis of the emergence of the hieroglyphic script (some of the signs are unique to the First Dynasty) but also for the study of the development of the embryo Egyptian state following the unification of the separate kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt between 3100 and 3000 BC.
