Document Details : Title: Three Decrees of Gods from Theban Tomb 32 Author(s): KÁKOSY, L. Journal: Orientalia Lovaniensia Periodica Volume: 23 Date: 1992 Pages: 311-328 DOI: 10.2143/OLP.23.1.519178 Abstract : A Hungarian Mission of the Eötvös University, Budapest, has been conducting excavations in Thebes (Tomb 32) since 1983. The owner of the tomb was Djehutimes who held high offices in the temple economy of Amun at the time of Ramesses II. Like other tombs of the nobles, that of Djehutimes must have been plundered in the century following his burial, most probable under Ramesses IX. The re-use of the devastated tmb as a common burial place began under Dyn. XXI and went on until the Late-Roman Period. Most of the finds of these secondary burials can be dated, however, to the Ptolemaic Age. During the excavations three fragmentary texts came to light which can be identified as Decrees of God (Götterdekrete). |
