Abstract
The volume joins together the proceedings of the three workshops held in Prague on December 15, 2017, December 10, 2018 and June 25-26, 2019, within the framework of the GAČR research project "The rise and development of the solar cult and architecture in Third Millennium BC Egypt" launched in 2017 at the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Charles University, Prague. The key aim of the project was to contribute to the study of the dynamics of development and featuring of the sun cult in ancient Egypt, as well as of the evolution of some related topics, such as royal ideology and funerary texts.
The contributions span all periods of ancient Egyptian history and bring together scholars dealing with diverse geographic areas, from the capital site of Memphis, with its huge necropolis, to the southernmost and liminal area of Elephantine.
