The Late Period tomb of Montuemhat (TT 34) in Western Thebes/Egypt between tradition and legacy

monthemet墓（TT 34）建于公元前7世纪上半叶的底比斯，是古埃及最大的墓葬之一，包含了大量的、各种各样的装饰，质量极高。此外，两个庭院的墙壁和柱子以及60多个房间，楼梯和通道的装饰部分有1600多年的历史，同时完全从坟墓装饰中消失。因此，monthemet的坟墓代表了晚期古语开始时最重要的纪念碑之一。该项目首先寻求广泛地追求TT 34的装饰传统，并澄清装饰是否以及如何追溯到特定的时间、地点和纪念碑，以及它们之间的依赖关系。第二个目的是展示monthemet墓中的装饰——就像底比斯其他类似年代的墓葬结构一样——是如何被后来的墓主人修复的，就其本身而言，它代表了一种向该国北部蔓延的发展的开始。

The tomb of Monthemhet (TT 34), constructed in Thebes in the first half of the 7th century BCE and one of ancient Egypt’s biggest burial sites, contains extensive, varied decoration of an extremely high quality. Additionally, the walls and pillars in the two courtyards and the 60+ rooms, staircases and passageways were provided with decoration that is in part over 1,600 years old, and had in the meantime totally disappeared from grave decoration. Monthemhet’s tomb thus represents one of the most important monuments from the beginning of Late Period archaism. The proposed project firstly seeks to extensively pursue the tradition of the decoration in TT 34, and to clarify whether and how the decoration refers back to specific times, places and monuments, as well as what the dependencies are. The second aim is to show how the decoration in Monthemhet’s tomb – just like that in further burial structures of a similar age in Thebes – was reverted to by later tomb owners, and for its part represented the start of a development that spread out into the north of the country.
