Anjtauy: Notas Sobre Su Naturaleza y Localización Entre el Reino Antiguo y el Reino Nuevo

A new understanding of the ancient Egyptian toponym Ankhtawy ('Life of the Two Lands') reveals it initially designated the Wadi Abusir, not Memphis or its necropolis. This conclusion emerges from a multidisciplinary analysis integrating written records, archaeology, geomorphology, and paleoenvironmental evidence, challenging previous interpretations. The study traces the toponym's shifting significance from the Third Millennium BC to the New Kingdom, highlighting its evolving role in both geographic and cognitive landscapes. By synthesizing scarce but fragmented data with novel archaeological and environmental findings, researchers reconstruct Ankhtawy's dynamic nature, offering insights into ancient Egyptian spatial perception and cultural practices.
