L'A. propose d'interpreter ce signe a la lumiere des caracteristiques de l'etoile de mer. Le signe se refere a un etre vivant. Or c'est aussi un signifiant traditionnel de l'etoile. Dans les Textes des Pyramides, l'etoile est presentee comme un etre vivant caracterise par son mouvement et son eclat. La representation d'une etoile par une etoile de mer etait en fait un element du parallele cosmique entre ciel et eau. L'Egyptien qui avait acquis une certaine maitrise des phenomenes celestes pouvait, grâce a la metaphore maritime, inclure dans l'ordre cosmique un monde plutot mysterieux et menacant : la mer

Pour chaque plante et chaque animal representes, une identification est proposee; leur habitat et distribution sont decrits, ainsi que la connaissance qu'en avaient les peuples de l'Egypte et du Proche-Orient ancien. Ces representations illustrent principalement des elements exotiques ou extraordinaires que le roi offre au dieu comme un resume du monde apprehende dans toute la richesse de son infinie diversite.

It is the purpose of this article to study the surviving architectural elements of the ramp newel posts in detail and to explore the function of these elements in Hatshepsut’s temple cosmology. Rw.ty, the four seated lions of the first ramp, are guarding the passage from land to the intermediate level of the temple, “begetting” Horus the king, allowing him to rise in life like the sun in its daily resurrection trip, and this forever and ever. In turn, the falcon god of the second ramp hovers in protection, as witness and helper in the passage to the third and highest level of the temple, where the king will achieve full resurrection through the Amun sanctuary and fly up to the sky as a falcon in its name of MAa.t-kA-Ra. The cartouche raised by the anx sign on the first ramp finds an echo in the Sn sign held by the falcon on the second ramp: they both tie ...

Identification of 12 plants (cereals, fruits, branches and leaves) is proposed and the exceptional diversity of such finds is considered in relation to the known botanical finds from foundation deposits prior to Tuthmosis III.

The architectural features, a pit with a niche at the bottom, confirm the dating of both of these deposits to the times of Tuthmosis III. An original feature of the southeastern one is the initial circular cavity changed into a semicircular one by the building of a mud-brick wall in the east. Several courses of mud bricks built up the rim of the pit above the rock-carved cavity. The whole structure was plastered inside with mud plaster. The bricks were mostly reused from the Middle Kingdom structure of Mentuhotep II. The content, although disturbed, still consists of organic offerings as well as ceramics, but no inscribed material.
