A Stela of the Family of Khaemtir (i) and the Scribe Qenherkhepshef (i) (Chicago OIM E14315) /
:
Oriental Institute stela E14315 was excavated at Medinet Habu in 1928. All four surfaces of the limestone monument are decorated. According to a text on the recto, the stela was commissioned by the Worker in the Place of Truth, Khaemtir (i). Also shown are men who, it is suggested, comprise four generations of his family, including grandchildren, some of whom are not otherwise attested. The scribe Qenherkhepshef appears very prominently on the recto of the stela, and it is proposed that he is shown in this context because the family was beholden to him for their positions. The recto of the stela was carved in approximately year 40 of the reign of Ramesses II. The verso and edges of the stela, it is suggested, were carved two generations later, at the end of the reign, an indication that Qenherkhepshef continued to have the ability to influence the careers of this family of workers and that the family felt it appropriate to honor him on their family monument.
Chicago on the nile : a century of work by the epigraphic survey of the university of chicago /
:
"Chicago on the Nile relates the colorful story of the University of Chicago's Epigraphic Survey expedition to Egypt, from its conception in 1924 by the first American Egyptologist, James Henry Breasted, through its development over the course of a century to become the major scientific and social presence it is today-not just in Egypt but throughout the world. Initially envisioned as a small group of scientists devoted to documenting the ancient historical inscriptions and reliefs on the walls of the temple of Medinet Habu in Luxor, the Epigraphic Survey's work grew to encompass many of the most important sites in Egypt, including Karnak, Luxor Temple, the tomb of Kheruef, Saqqara, Abydos, and the Beit el-Wali temple in Nubia. The story places this work within the larger contexts of Egyptian and international politics, the vicissitudes of the world financial situation, and academic policies. Drawing on hundreds of letters and photos, most of them previously unpublished, the book explores why the Epigraphic Survey chose specific sites for its work, the often grand expectations for its projects and publication program, and the ultimate results. The history of Chicago House, the Survey's headquarters and residence, is described in detail and offers many amusing anecdotes of social life there over the past century. As such, Chicago on the Nile provides a who's who of Egyptologists and archaeologists who worked for and interacted with the Survey to save the endangered texts and reliefs on the ancient monuments of the Nile Valley"--
