This research is concerned with studying the upper left section of the remains of a limestone funerary stela preserved in El-Matareya Antiquities Store No. 187, which was discovered west of the "Ra" temple complex in Heliopolis, as above the lines appears a small part of the tip of the winged sun, and behind the lines, on the far left, are the two feathers of "Amun". After extensive study of this stela and the inscriptions that remain on it, we find that it follows the stelae of the New Kingdom, and its writing follows the late linguistic stage.

Ever since 1925 the consensus has maintained that Ahmose-Nefertari wears double uraei on her forehead in a scene in TT15, the tomb of Tetiky. But two uraei usually go with the title of Great Royal Wife. Was the lady really of sufficient status at the time of this very early depiction?

This article is devoted to the description and analysis of the limestone stela of Haremwia from Abydos. It was on display in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (CG 34079 / JE 22011) and is currently in the storerooms of the Grand Egyptian Museum, Giza. It dates to the period from the mid to the late 18th Dynasty, New Kingdom, and probably from the reign of Amenhotep III, on the basis of its stylistic, iconographic, and epigraphic details. It is extremely well preserved and most of the colours are intact, apart from some damage to the bottom. The stela records a significant title of Haremwia, namely Hry Sna n tA wabt, "chief of the provisioning sector of the temple workshop". The importance of this stela, above all, is that it records the first attestation of this title on Egyptian monuments. Furthermore, it records Asiatic names of foreign origin for family members. The offering formula in the first register is very interesting due to the retrograde orientation of its hieroglyphic inscription. The author describes the stela, deals with its individual idiosyncrasies, inscriptions, iconographic and phraseological traits, and focuses on the titles and professions of its individuals.

Neferusobek was forced to assume a power that was apparently not initially previewed for her. Her sister, Neferuptah, was her father's favourite in succession, but an early death prevented her to rule. The half-brother/husband, Amenemhat IV succeeded his father, most likely, against his desire and died during the course of his reign. With no viable solution in sight, Neferusobek was eventually forced to assume the succession because there was no one else to control, or at least to postpone, the impending turmoil, especially with the massive emergence of the Hyksos into the Delta: the Second Intermediate Period with the XIIIth (?), XIVth, XVth, XVIth and XVIIth Dynasties, some of them simultaneous. That is probably the reason why she was so welcomed (and consented) by her contemporaries! Maybe even desired.

La constatación arqueológica en las necrópolis egipcias de recipientes cerámicos que presentan senos femeninos, manos y/o motivos ondulados a modo de decoración, evoca la leche materna como una de las ofrendas destinadas a los difuntos. Las peculiaridades del acabado de estas vasijas permiten diferenciarlas como recipientes de carácter ritual, posiblemente asociados a ceremonias en las que ciertas diosas eran invocadas dadas sus prerrogativas de madres y nodrizas, comadronas, plañideras e incluso incitadoras erótico-sexuales, cualidades todas ellas óptimas para ayudar al difunto a renacer a una nueva existencia.

The area of the Spanish mission at Dra Abu el-Naga (in and around Theban tombs 11–12) has recently yielded a significant number of data about this part of the necropolis during the 17th Dynasty. Among them, several artefacts of a king’s son of the 17th Dynasty, Intefmose, have been found. He was known until now by three documents, all of them lacking an archaeological context: 1) a seated headless statue, found reused by Petrie in Qurna, close to the area of TT 11–12, and now in Manchester (inv. no. 5051); 2) a fragmentary shabti of the British Museum (inv. no. 13329) mentioning him and a king called Sobekemsaf, possibly Sobekemsaf II; and 3) a shabti coffin. The corpus of documents of Intefmose can now be increased thanks to the new findings in the area of TT 11–12, pertaining to his burial assemblage and offering place of this royal person. The context and content of this evidence can add some interesting facts, such as the almost certain location of the tomb of Intefmose in the area of TT 11–12 and the possible existence of a posthumous cult after his death.

Heroes are not only those who show an excellent spirit when times and events are favorable. But even in times of crisis and great danger, when the spirit of most of humanity is crushed by terrible circumstances, the spirit of the hero rises and shines as bright as the noon day sun nevertheless. Today we are accustomed to images of super heroes, and these are fictional, but Africa gives us the story of many super heroines who like the female lion, are the most vicious warriors and hunters when the times call for them. Such is the story of the Great Queen Mother Ahmes Nefertari and the Queens of the First war of Liberation. May their name and spirit continue amongst us for all our future generations:

The Hyksos era during the Second Intermediate Period had a significant impact on the formation of cultural memory and identity in Ancient Egypt. Specific moments of this era were documented in various ways in Egyptian textual sources; however, the specialized descriptions in these texts often contradict the archaeological evidence. This reveals the mediated nature of memory, and the problems inherent in historical analysis. This study aims to overcome these issues by re-evaluating Egyptian textual sources through the concept of cultural memory. It illuminates how memory was constructed in antiquity, and consequently how societies used the past to establish cultural identity.

This article was originally prepared to document the work of the SSEA/SÉÉA project In Search of Ancient Egypt in Canada with the collection of Egyptian artefacts held by the University of Winnipeg, beginning in 2008. It was printed in a slightly shorter version in the Newsletter of the SSEA, Spring 2011 (SSEA Newsletter 2010-2011 #2). The longer version presented here has been revised to include more recently uncovered archival information regarding the somewhat elusive A.E. Hetherington, uncovered by Prof. Val McKinley of the University of Winnipeg. The published version of the SSEA Newsletter article will also be uploaded at academia.edu

In Egyptology, the subordinates of the Hyksos are commonly defined as vassals, often without giving a definition of the concept and as a consequence, the complexity that subordination practices might acquire is overlooked. In this paper, I present a revision of the origin and meaning of the concept of vassal, the underlying paradigms that sustain it, and discuss the scarce evidence as to reconstruct the subordination practices carried out by the Hyksos in Egypt.
