The class will introduce the long-discussed transformations in the social, political and religious aspects of the ancient Egyptian culture during the late Old Kingdom. Various types of sources will be discussed, including textual, historical, archaeological, architectural and iconographic evidence. The classes will partly stress out the results of the ongoing field projects by the members of the Czech Institute of Egyptology in Saqqara and Abusir, Egypt.
