Abstract

Prince Ahmose-Sapair was worshipped soon after his death and regarded as a memorable member of the royal family in Thebes for around five centuries. While his ancestry, remembrance and worship have been the subject of several studies by C. Vandersleyen and others, the location of his tomb has not been discussed in depth, despite the fact that it appears to be a significant aspect in his posthumous cult. This matter is hereby addressed, re-examining the data from earlier excavations and in the light of recent discoveries made by the Spanish mission working in Dra Abu el-Naga North, south-west of the open courtyard of the tomb chapel of Djehuty (TT 11). The archaeological context becomes significant in the analysis of each document and in the overall appraisal of their complexity. It will be argued that Ahmose-Sapair must have been buried in Dra Abu el-Naga North, only a few metres south-west of TT 11, contrary to what has been assumed since Winlock’s 1924 article.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
