Rebirth of Temples under the Rule of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III: Vocabulary
Journal Title: Études et Travaux (Institut des Cultures Méditerranéennes et Orientales de l’Académie Polonaise des Sciences) - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The restoration works during the whm mswt era under Senwosret I, undertaken on a large scale in the whole country, were the example to follow for Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. The reconstruction of monumental structures in both historical moments was performed, above all, in the case of the sacral architecture. This article deals with the vocabulary used by these kings to describe the destruction of the world and the recreation of the new order of the sacred landscape. By studying the vocabulary it was possible to realise the range of works initiated by Hatshepsut and continued by Thutmose III in almost all cult centres of Egypt.
