La Chapelle de Barque en Calcite aux Noms d’Amenhotep Ier et de Thoutmosis Ier

First volume of the series dedicated to the Monuments of Amenhotep I at Karnak, the publication of the calcite chapel in the names of Amenhotep I and of Thutmose I materialises the achievement of a long scientific process initiated by the discovery in 1914 of the first blocks in the foundations of the southern tower of the IIIrd pylon. Followed in 1947 the reconstruction of the monument in the open air museum. Successive phases of drawings and photographic documentation were then implemented and finally the publication of the present edition comprising fac-similes, translations and comments. The calcite chapel is a bark repository for the god’s portable bark during Amun’s procession festivals. Its original location is still debated: either inside the festival courtyard of Thutmose II, or the place where the “inthronisation seat of Amun” was later erected (the latter has our preference). Its decoration was later duplicated in most of Karnak’s calcite bark shrines. The specific rituals addressed to the bark of Amun are partly those recorded in the “Ritual of Amenhotep I” known throughout the p.BM 10689 (Chester-Beatty IX) and the p.Cairo CGC 58030, p. XI + p.Turin, Inv. Suppl. 10125 and which, quite a-propos, bear the name of “offering service for the festival of Amun-Ra”.
