The earliest evidence for this headdress is found on five statue fragments from the pyramid precinct of Khafre, and may well ...

The evidence suggests that the effect of the founding of this city, with all the consequences of a changed environment on both sides of the river, could have been responsible for a malaria epidemic. This scenario is backed up by the high prevalence of signs of malaria in the skeletal material from Amarna, as well as in the short-lived history of the city, which was deserted after about fifteen years.

To accomplish this, a discussion of ancient Egyptian griffons from the Predynastic to the New Kingdom will be included, to help analyze the meaning of the griffon in light of its context in ancient Egyptian material objects through time. The Middle Bronze Age Egyptian griffon is found in tomb depictions at Beni Hasan and el-Bersheh, and also on the apotropaic wands. What is the origin of this creature, and in what context is it used in these tombs? Why would the griffon appear in these specific tombs and scenes? How does its use and possible meaning on earlier and later monuments help our interpretation? In particular, the symbolism of the griffon with a human head between its wings will be addressed.
