The Cosmos of Khnumhotep II at Beni Hasan

The book challenges the traditional view that high-status tomb chapels in the Egyptian Old and Middle Kingdoms were solely decorated to meet the eternal needs of the deceased. It delves into the specific content of these decorations, suggesting that their significance may extend beyond mere funerary purposes. By analyzing the artwork and inscriptions, the author aims to uncover deeper meanings and implications about the beliefs and values of the society that created them.
