Bogdanov I.V. History and Culture of Ancient Egypt in the Mirror of Inscriptions: Monuments and Their Fates. — Saint Petersburg: Izdatel’stvo RHGA, 2024. — 332 p. ISBN 978-5-907855-39-7
This study brings into scientific circulation the rich material of little-known and unpublished monuments, located in private and small collections, presented in auction catalogs, as well as published in online archives of old archaeological excavations. Its chapters are united by a cross-cutting commentary, which is based on a historical-philological analysis of phraseology, titles and anthroponyms mentioned on these monuments. As a result, many titles were re-read and re-interpreted, new methodological positions were formulated for the definition of name models, phraseology was considered in a broad historical context.
Ancient Egyptian epigraphy is usually understood as textual information on any object other than papyrus or ostraca. A collection of epigraphic monuments consists of reliefs, so-called false doors and other types of stelae, seals and sealings, offering-stones, statues, models of objects and ordinary household items (for example, mirrors and headrests), a separate group is composed of graffiti and other inscriptions on rocks outside the Nile Valley. The study of nine epigraphic art objects of the Old Kingdom reveals different aspects of Egyptian history and culture in the 3rd millennium BC: political relations with the Levant, details of the life of the aristocracy, questions of relative chronology according to genealogies, features of the organization of the cult of kings and queens in the Memphite region and in the province, aspects of household religion according to anthroponyms, problems of organization of expeditions and many other local questions, including philological ones.
