The Pyramid Fields of Ancient Egypt. A Satellite Atlas, 2021

The principal aim of this publication is to provide interpretation of a high-resolution satellite images of all Old and Middle Kingdom pyramid sites in Egypt. The sites included in this Atlas represent to a large degree the principal sites of the Third through the Thirteenth Dynasty. Their particular characteristics mirror the specific periods of Egyptian history and in a way may be considered as a genuine time capsules providing fascinating windows into incredible story ancient Egypt once was. These sites are as follows (starting in the north): Abu Rawash, Giza, Zawiyet el-Aryan, Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur, Mazghuna, Lisht, Meidum, Lahun, Hawara and Abydos. Included was also the site of Abu Ghurob with the two sun temples of Userkaf and Nyuserra of the Fifth Dynasty and the so-called minor step pyramids dating from the late Third – early Fourth Dynasty which start in Seila at the northeastern edge of the Faiyum Oasis and include, those of Zawyet Sultan, Nubt (Naqada), Abydos (Sinki), Hierakonpolis (el-Kula), Edfu (Ghonemeia) and Elephantine. The individual sites are characterised on the background of their local topography and changing nature of their development over time as reflected by the position of individual monuments, including the principal ones – the pyramids of the Old and Middle Kingdom. Individual chapters focus on principal royal and non-royal monuments, their locations and their significance both within the site and with regard to neighbouring sites with pyramid complexes. Each chapter, each site provides a different story in terms of its structure and content. This reflects the simple fact that every site developed under different conditions, in different local setting, had its own internal logics, its pace and its genuine characteristics. Each site also reflects a specific historical situation and tells a different story of its development and rediscovery. It is strongly believed that the latest technological advances, including the satellite imaging in Egyptology, will ultimately translate into their systematic use in sites’ protection and management, site and landscape analysis and long-term strategies of both ongoing and future excavation and survey projects in Egypt. As for now, most pyramid fields are more and more intensively endangered by the modern development and locally dominated neglect of the need for their preservation. Some of them, such as Mazghouna or Lisht are on the foremost front of this trend. Despite all current outstanding odds, pyramid fields of Egypt represent the very substance of Ancient Egypt which came down to us and deserve our attention, respect and care.

The Pyramid Texts are the oldest body of religious texts, and, in fact, literature in general, known from ancient Egypt. They are inscribed in the tombs of eleven kings and queens from the late Old Kingdom (mainly from the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties, but one also from the Eighth Dynasty), located in the royal necropolis of Saqqara. The first group of these texts (and, in fact, their majority) were discovered and published by Gaston Maspero in 1880, and subsequently, a concordance of these texts was published in 1908 by Kurt Sethe. Since then, the ongoing process of excavation, discovery, interpretation, and publication has continued. In fact, the last known text was discovered in 2010, but research on these texts still continues. James P. Allen, among the world's preeminent Egyptologists and currently the Wilbour Professor of Egyptology at Brown University, has long studied the Pyramid Texts, commencing with his 1984 PhD dissertation on the verbal system of these texts. The first edition of the volume under review appeared a decade ago (in 2005), and the many changes and understandings that can be seen between the two versions, result of slightly less than a decade of research, is telling evidence of the vibrant state of the research of the earliest known stage of the written ancient Egyptian language.

Auch die auf p. 37-44 zwischen I Regn 26,7 b und II Regn 1,12 fehlenden Verse sind im fortlaufenden Text ausgelassen. Bereits Maspero, S. 159 hat die durch Ζ 16 repräsentierte Textgestalt von I-II Regn zutreffend als "d'une sorte de chronique formee d' extraits des Livres saints" charakterisiert. Vermutungen über den Inhalt der fehlenden Blätter dieses Kodex bleiben daher spekulativ, solange nicht ein gleichartiger Textzeuge nachgewiesen werden kann (der durchaus nicht an eine koptische Version gebunden sein muß). 4) Zu den Textauslassungen dieser Passage siehe Anm. 3.
