War in Ancient Egypt", Brussels, 2016. ------------------------------------------------------------- This is a preliminary study which deals with a series of aspects presented in Piye's great stela at Gebel Barkal. Of particular importance are the following: the text's reliance upon older narrative formats which do not particularly reflect the New Kingdom; the "non-Egyptian" attitudes of the Kushite monarch; the absence of booty lists. Of particular importance is the self-conception of Piye himself, a study that demands a comparison with Egyptian ideology instead of a mere contrastive position. ------------------------------------------------------------- Volume | Other papers« Previous | Next »
