Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The article deals with the succession of the governors of El-Qusiya Wekhhotep son of Iam (tomb A3), Senbi I (tomb B1), Wekhhotep I (tomb B2), Senbi II (tomb B3), Wekhhotep II (tomb B4) and Wekhhotep III (tomb C1). The architecture, scenes and inscriptions in their tombs were analyzed in order to place them in chronological order. The titles held and certain scenes were examined in order to throw light on the end of this family, probably under Senwesret III. A comparison with the contemporary situation in other provinces was also made.
