Anhand einer vor rund 160 Jahren in el-Târif bei Luxor/Oberägypten gefundenen Reliefplatte aus Kalkstein zeichnet dieser Band ein Stück ägyptologisch-archäologischer Forschungsgeschichte nach. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung steht die aufgrund ihrer Darstellungen "Hundestele" genannte Grabstele des Königs Wah-Anch Intef (um 2050 v.Chr.). Das Hauptinteresse liegt dabei jedoch weniger auf ihren ikonografischen Besonderheiten oder dem historisch bedeutsamen Text. Es gilt vielmehr den unklaren Umständen der Auffindung und Bergung und dem darauffolgenden Verbleib der Stele sowie ihrem unmittelbaren archäologischen und damit ehemaligen baulichen Kontext. In akribischer Aufarbeitung der zum Teil widersprüchlichen und irrtümlichen Angaben, von Fundort und -datum bis hin zu den Abmessungen, wird die moderne Geschichte dieser königlichen Stele rekonstruiert. Dadurch wird ein der Ägyptologie lange bekanntes und viel diskutiertes Forschungsobjekt nachträglich mit neuen archäologischen Informationen versehen.

The quartzite architectural block E16230 has been on display in the Penn Museum for 115 years. E16230 is one of the few large architectural pieces in the world surviving from the much-debated reign of the "heretic" king Akhenaten. This block is one of the most historically significant objects on display in the Egyptian galleries, yet it has never been analyzed or published. This volume addresses that glaring gap and provides for the first time a translation and discussion of the important texts on the object, along with analysis of the architectural evidence it provides.The block is part of the once intensely ornamented façade of a solar chapel ("sunshade") dedicated to princess Meritaten, the eldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The large (1100 kg) block originates in a chapel that was part of a royal ceremonial palace of Akhenaten named Per-Waenre ("the house of the Unique-one-of-Re"). Later, after demolition of the building, the block was reused in the city of Heliopolis as the base for a sphinx of king Merenptah (Dynasty 19). Subsequently the block underwent a final stage of reuse in Cairo in the Islamic Period where it was found ca. 1898 in the Mousky district of central Cairo. Because the block is such a major architectural element it provides considerable detail in the reconstruction of the essential appearance, decoration, and other aspects of the Meritaten sunshade.The volume addresses the significance of the piece and the Meritaten sunshade in the context of Akhenaten's monumental program. Major implications emerge from the analysis of E16230 providing further evidence on the royal women during Akhenaten's reign. The book examines two possibilities for the original location of the Per-Waenre in which the Meritaten sunshade stood. It may be part of a large Amarna Period cult precinct at Heliopolis, which may, like the capital city at Tell el-Amarna, have born the wider name Akhet-Aten, "Horizon of the Aten." Alternatively it could derive from Tell el-Amarna itself, possibly belonging to a hitherto unidentified palatial complex at that site. The book is a contribution to the study of one of the most debated eras of ancient Egyptian history focused on this long-ignored treasure of the Penn Museum's Egyptian collection.University Museum Monograph 144
