Creative powers, royal authority and resurrection : Identification of a non-royal person with the sun-god in the Late Period

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

This article represents a case study based on a text attested on two sarcophagi from Late/Saite Period shaft[1]tombs at Abusir. This so far unattested composition helps the deceased to reach the afterlife by identifying his body-parts with those of the sun god and also by stressing mutual dependency between the god and the deceased.
