God’s words in Asyut – a paleography of the incised monumental hieroglyphs of the First Intermediate Period and the Twelfth Dynasty

自2003年以来，奥地利-德国联合使命“阿苏特项目”一直在埃及中部古城阿苏特墓地的Gebel阿苏特al-gharbi进行考古实地考察。对第一中间期晚期和第十二王朝的君主墓（第一、三、四、五号墓）铭文的金石学调查是德国研究基金会（DFG）资助的“阿苏特古埃及墓地--文献和解释”项目的一部分。目前的古文字研究汇编象形文字从这些良好的日期墓葬和描述的技术刻墓壁。古文字学提供了一套精确的日期和区域锚定的象形文字形状为埃及在公元前21世纪和20世纪。

Since 2003, the Egyptian-German joint mission “The Asyut Project” has been conducting archaeological fieldwork on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi in the necropoleis of the ancient city of Asyut in Middle Egypt. The epigraphic survey of the inscriptions in the nomarchs’ tombs of the Assiuti late First Intermediate Period and the 12th Dynasty (Tombs I, III, IV, V) was part of the project “The ancient Egyptian necropolis at Asyut – documentation and interpretation” financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The present paleographic study compiles the hieroglyphs from these well dated tombs and describes the techniques of inscribing the tomb walls. The paleography offers a precisely dated and regionally anchored set of the shape of hieroglyphs for Egypt during the 21st and 20th centuries BCE.
