This article presents the complete epigraphic publication with translation and commentary of the two symmetrical scenes of Tutankhamun in front of the Theban triad, of the central scene in the form of a stela, and of the newly discovered niche below it. Thanks to the inscriptions and the position of the niche we have a better understanding of the original purpose of the remnants of the sole edifice of Tutankhamon that remained in its original place in the Temple of Amun at Karnak until the walls of the Cachette courtyard were destroyed around 330 A.D. to facilitate the transport of the so-called Lateran obelisk on the request of Constantine the Great.

We can distinguish two forms of the early titulature of the king used in his stela, scenes and bandeau texts that can correspond to two phases of decoration. The analysis and contextualisation of the decorative programme of Ramesses IV showed that this sector of the temple was used to emphasise his legitimate rights as lawful successor of Ramesses III.

There are very few monumental inscriptions that can securely be dated to the 21st Dynasty and could help us get more insight into the historical conditions. The only high priest of Amun who had a significant and also a well traceable building and decoration program in Thebes was Pinudjem I. The rather neglected restoration inscriptions of the high priest that were carved as a coherent text on purpose onto the outer walls of the Eighteenth Dynasty Temple at Medinet Habu contain several interesting details worthy of a re-examination. This study offers a transliteration with a new translation of the complete inscription and tries to enlighten the political and religious situation during the tenure of Pinudjem I with a comprehensive commentary.

Initiated in January 2013, the Karnak project (CNRS, USR 3172 - CFEETK / UMR 5140, Équipe ENiM - Programme « Investissement d’Avenir » ANR-11-LABX-0032-01 Labex ARCHIMEDE) aims to organize and make available textual documentation from the temples of Karnak.
This work is based on a comprehensive inventory of documents and inscriptions from Karnak collated in the field. Each document is given a unique identifier number (KIU: Karnak Identifiant Unique) after its integration in the database. All related documentation within the CFEETK archives (photographs, facsimiles etc.) is directly connected to the Karnak project through the ArchéoGrid Karnak database and the online bibliography of the CFEETK.
All the information associated with a particular document or inscription (KIU) will be accessible from a single entry. This includes a typographical edition of the inscription and its transliteration, all photographs and facsimiles, as well as any archival material connected with it.
Closely associated with the Dictionnaire Permanent de l’Égyptien Ancien (DPEA) developed by the Egyptological Department of the UMR 5140 (CNRS-Université Montpellier III-Paul Valéry), the Karnak project is a research tool providing direct access to the large corpus of inscriptions of Karnak (hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic).
This online tool, hosted on the servers of the IN2P3, allows direct searches of the contents of the hieroglyphic inscriptions through their transliteration. It will also provide indexes and various multi-criteria searches (divinities, divine epithets, toponyms, places of worship, ethnicity, kings, anthroponyms, prosopographical elements and general vocabulary)."

Débuté en 2013, ce projet d’édition des inscriptions des temples de Karnak a pour ambition de collecter, d’organiser et de rendre accessible le corpus des sources textuelles en hiéroglyphe, hiératique et démotique présentes ou issues des temples de Karnak. Depuis près de trois ans, ce projet rend ainsi progressivement disponibles dans une interface accessible en ligne les textes publiés ou encore inédits de Karnak, collationnés in situ.
Près d’un demi-siècle après la dernière version actualisée publiée de la Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts, Statues, Reliefs and Paintings de Bertha Porter et Rosalind Moss consacrée aux temples thébains, ce nouvel inventaire de la décoration des temples de Karnak permet d’inclure l’abondante bibliographie parue depuis, dont les nombreux projets archéologiques et épigraphiques conduits par le Centre Franco-Égyptien d’Étude des Temples de Karnak depuis sa création en 1967 (15 volumes des Cahiers de Karnak, plus d’une vingtaine de monographies et des centaines d’articles).
Les premières versions de l’Inventaire des monuments, objets, scènes et inscriptions des temples de Karnak sont diffusées, avec une date de version, au format PdF depuis les sites internet du Centre Franco-Égyptien d’Étude des Temples de Karnak (MAE/USR 3172 du CNRS) et de l’équipe d’égyptologie de l’université de Montpellier (UMR 5140 du CNRS).
