Un édifice au nom du roi Héqataoui (Ahmosé Ier) dans la nécropole thébaine

Recent archaeological findings in the Theban necropolis, specifically nine mudbricks stamped with the name of King Ahmose I (HqA tA.wy), challenge long-standing assumptions about the founder of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty. While Abydos serves as a prominent site for Ahmose's mortuary cult, evidence of his building activities in Thebes was previously scarce. This discovery sheds new light on the ideological significance of Ahmose's title and suggests a possible initial burial context for his mummy in the Theban Residence necropolis. The study analyzes a key passage from the Ahmose Stele at Karnak to support this identification, while also exploring the broader issue of material displacement and royal burials managed by public authorities.
