This book is devoted to the publication of the tomb and funerary ensemble of the king’s son and High Priest of Ptah Sheshonq (22nd Dynasty, c. 830 BCE). The tomb and its contents were found in Memphis in 1942. They were moved to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo soon after the discovery. The tomb is one of the few decorated tombs from the Third Intermediate Period. The scenes and funerary texts carved on the walls have important similarities with those of the tomb of pharaoh Osorkon II in Tanis (NRT I), as well as with the Theban funerary papyrus of Nestanebetisheru, daughter of the High Priest of Amun Pinedjem II, now in the British Museum (P. Greenfield). The tomb was found intact and its funerary equipment-comprising about 400 objects-is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Suez Museum and the Faculty of Arts of Alexandria. It provides outstanding evidence for the funerary objects belonging to members of the elite during this period. Some of these objects were specifically prepared for the burial of Sheshonq, while others had probably already been used while he was alive. The study of this ensemble also provides the opportunity to examine his other monuments and titles, particularly that of “hereditary prince”.
