‎Tomb Painting and Identity in Ancient Thebes, 1419-1372 BCE examines the style, iconography, and symbolism of painting in all extant private Theban tomb chapels decorated during the reigns of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III. The book studies the ways in which pictorial imagery functioned on behalf of the dead in the afterlife, presented their identity to the living, and revealed underlying religious developments with important societal implications. Various aspects of the pre-Amarna Theban tomb are explored, from the tomb's purpose as a creative and commemorative vehicle for the deceased to the placement and functional properties of its imagery. The book also discusses the different styles of painting in the chapels of state and religious officials and how these styles reveal workshop organization and "patronage" practices in Thebes. The majority of the book is dedicated to the iconography of the functioning image in the tomb chapel, its reception, and its purpose as a bridge between what was represented and what was signified, between the mundane and the sacred, and between the living and the dead. Particular attention is paid to the iconography on the "western" back walls of the transverse hall in T-shaped tomb chapels, walls that held aesthetic, cultic, and symbolic significance to the ancient Egyptians. On these walls as well as the northern or southern long wall in rectangular tomb chapels, iconography and text commemorated the deceased's personal and professional identity, projected this identity into the hereafter, and contained key components for the tomb owner's rebirth. The eternal well-being of the deceased was secured through the iconography of gift giving that also mirrored religious trends that permeated society. Tomb Painting and Identity in Ancient Thebes, 1419-1372 BCE addresses Theban tomb painting and its underlying creative and commemorative properties as a medium of regeneration, preservation, and display on behalf of the tomb owner and the world of which he was a part.

‎Caesar in the City of Amun: Egyptian Temple Construction and Theology in Roman Thebes,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, XVIII+476 p., 21,6 x 28 cm.*new- Language : English. ISBN 9782503545158.‎

‎Thebes (modern Luxor) was a popular tourist destination during the Roman Period, receiving the likes of Strabo, Germanicus, and Hadrian. Yet while its international fame rested on its royal tombs and the Memnon colossus, Thebes was also a vibrant religious center with over a dozen active temples. The purposefully archaizing inscriptions and architecture attracted both Egyptians and Romans in search of ancient traditions and millennial wisdom, influencing intercultural and multilingual texts produced in the region, including Gnostic, Hermetic, and magical writings. This book surveys epigraphic and archaeological evidence for temple construction and renovation throughout the Theban nome during the Roman Period, studying the new inscriptions within their ritual and theological contexts. It also contains the first comprehensive treatment of the greater Theban Pantheon during the Graeco-Roman era, cataloguing over fifty local divinities and establishing their roles in various cosmogonies and mythological traditions. The concluding chapter reconstructs the religious life of the district, tracking annual festival processions which united the multiple temples and their communities. ‎

‎Amon-Re, apparu dans des circonstances obscures a la fin de l'Ancien Empire, est atteste depuis la Premiere Periode Intermediaire a Thebes, ou dans un premier temps, il assoit son emprise, supplantant le dieu d'Hermonthis, Montou. Avec la XVIIIe dynastie, peu a peu, il investit la totalite du Double-Pays, connaissant une diffusion peu commune. Sans doute, ses rapports etroits avec une dynastie conquerante, puissante et entreprenante, puis son lien indefectible avec la legitimation et a conservation du pouvoir royal, expliquent-ils en grande partie ce phenomene. Plus tard, a la Basse Epoque, bien que le rapport avec le pouvoir politique ne fut plus aussi fort, mais que le role theologique de No demeurait important, les clerges ? provinciaux ? d'Amon continuerent a prosperer et, dans les zones marginales, les Oasis et la Nubie, son culte connut un renouveau. La prosperite du clerge implique une certaine autonomie et une dissociation, relative certes, entre politique et religieux. Cette autonomie pouvait decouler du morcellement politique du pays qui eut lieu a certaines periodes, puis des reprises en main partielles ou completes. Amon devait posseder une notoriete suffisante, representer symboliquement l'Egypte et le systeme pharaonique, a tout le moins sur le plan politique, pour que les Grecs l'identifient au ? roi des dieux ? et/ou que les Egyptiens associent Zeus a Amon. Pleinement assimile a Zeus dans le monde grec, il n'eut pas le privilege d'une diffusion hors d'Egypte, a la maniere d'Osiris, Isis, Anubis, etc.; dieu du pouvoir politique, il n'offrait pas aux particuliers les espoirs de salut individuel, vehicules par les ? mysteres ? osiriens et isiaques.
