Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Among the 18 contributions making up the BIFAO 123 figures an original study of the “Vulture Rock” engravings, which combines various methodologies (palaeography, application of stratigraphic principles to the study of rock engravings, network analysis) so as to offer a micro-history of the “Vulture Rock” from the Fifth Dynasty to the First Intermediate Period; a presentation of a team of workers from the reign of Khufu in Wadi Sannur, shedding new light on the relationship between the Wadi Sannur flint quarries and the major royal achievements of the Fourth Dynasty; a translation of the set of inscriptions figuring on the doorway of the Ptolemaic facade of the temple of Esna; a new document relating to the legend of Horus, papyrus IFAO H 88 Ro; the exceptional and very recent discovery (2022) of a head portraying Augustus as a pharaoh made at Kom Bahig, or the former (in the 1980s) but particularly instructive discovery, of a building dedicated to the production of wine in Plinthine, the complete study of which renders the reconstruction as well as a model of the chaine operatoire of wine production in a Mareotid vineyard in the 3rd-2nd century BC possible. Also of interest is the updated and accurate plan of the village of Deir el-Medina made available to researchers, resulting from a meticulous topographical survey carried out during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 campaigns of the French mission (Ifao) in Deir el-Medina. Moreover, a particular study stands out from those dealing with the archaeological, epigraphic and iconographic material presented in the various articles in this issue: historiographical in nature, it provides an overview of the developments in Egyptology during the 19th century and highlights the mingling of Egyptology with international politics and commerce, and even with the terminology adopted at the time, which survives to the present day.
