Theban Tomb 188 stands as the sole archaeological site within the ancient Theban necropolis that has been securely dated to the reign of the "heretic pharaoh" Akhenaten (1353–1336 BCE). The outcome of several years of diligent clearance and meticulous recording efforts by Dr. Susan Redford, the director of the Akhenaten Temple Projects Theban Tomb Survey, this extensively illustrated book presents a comprehensive account of the surviving wall scenes and textual remnants of this historically significant ancient monument.
In the fourteenth century BCE, Pharaoh Akhenaten embarked on a radical religious reform, relocating his capital city to Amarna. This book presents valuable evidence pertaining to the Amarna period in ancient Egypt, specifically focusing on the plans, reliefs, and inscriptions of Theban Tomb 188, which belonged to Parennefer, the tutor and butler of the king. Dr. Redford's meticulous archaeological exploration uncovers the rapid evolution of ideology, iconography, and iconoclasm, as evident in Parennefer's tomb. The intricate decoration closely mirrored the profound shifts in the king's thinking, making it possible to chronicle these rapid changes when coupled with the visual evidence from the excavations of the grand Gem-pa-aten temple at Karnak.
This comprehensive study of Parennefer's tomb will captivate archaeologists, Egyptologists, historians of religion, and art historians engaged in the study of the ancient Near East.
