Abstrakt
The study addresses several mutually interconnected themes-agency and form as reflected in symbolical relevance of local landscape of Abusir and Saqqara, probably the most splendid cemeteries of ancient Memphis of the Old Kingdom. In addition, the specific form of transitional tombs of the Third Dynasty, and finally the evolution of the false door as a focal cultic point in Old Kingdom offering rituals will be discussed and set in context.
At the same time, means of communication between the profane world and the netherworld as conceptualised by the Ancient Egyptians in architecture are discussed in a broader context of social legitimisation and status.
