This review is from: The Gateway of Ramesses IX in the Temple of Amun at Karnak (Paperback)
This book covers the little-known work, the Gateway, built by Ramesses IX and located at the Temple of Amun at Karnak. The first chapter gives a background setting of the Temple, and briefly explains Ramesses IX's works. The second chapter presents the translations of the hieroglyphic texts found on the Gateway. In the third chapter, the author attempts to provide the role and significance of the Gateway scenes. The last chapter consists of the hieroglyphic texts which were translated in chapter two. Eighteen photographic and line plates complete the book, which is indispensable for those interested in learning about this part of an important Ancient Egyptian monument.
