Gebelein

The site of Gebelein, whose Arabic name “two mountains” seems to reflect the ancient Egyptianjnrtj, “two rocks,” was occupied from Prehistory to the Roman Period. Tombs from Naqada I tothe Middle Kingdom have been found in the area. Remains such as papyri discovered in tombs ofthe 4th Dynasty are the most ancient documents of their kind. A settlement developed close to thesacred area of the temple built on top of the southern hill at least from the 2nd Dynasty on. Asidefrom the temple blocks, the remains from there are mainly votive inscriptions offered to the goddessHathor by kings and private individuals from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic and RomanPeriods. After being a royal estate during the Old Kingdom, Gebelein appears to have become aplace for recruitment of mercenaries, a military post, and, in the Ptolemaic Period, a garrisonsettlement

The Temple of Nebhepetre Mentuhotep at Gebelein. Preliminary report

Based on the study of blocks recovered from different sectors of the site of Gebelein at the end of the nineteenth century, a reconstitution is proposed for the chapel of Hathor, mistress of Denderah, built by Montouhotep II. These blocks were shared from that time on between the museums of Cairo and Turin. The decoration of the chapel suggests a royal cult, legitimising the sovereign, rather than a local cult. This would have been one of the first architectural achievements of Montouhotep, in a period of civil war, when he first took control of Lower Egypt.À partir de l’étude de blocs retrouvés dans différents secteurs du site de Gebelein à la fin du XIXe s., l’auteur propose une reconstitution de la chapelle d’Hathor, maîtresse de Denderah, élevée par Montouhotep II. Ces blocs sont partagés désormais entre les musées du Caire et de Turin. La décoration de la chapelle suggère un culte royal, légitimant le souverain, plutôt qu’un culte local. Ce serait l’une des toutes premières réalisations architecturales de Montouhotep, dans un climat de guerre civile, au tout début de sa prise de contrôle sur la Basse-Égypte.Fiore Marochetti Elisa.
