Abstract

In the past, the statement from P. Anastasi II, that everybody left his city to settle in Pi-Ramesse, has mainly been interpreted in a somewhat propagandistic sense – everybody wanted to leave their old city to come to the marvellous new capital with all its wonders. While this interpretation might have been the author’s intention, based on the reality of a new capital, it can be interpreted in different ways: a new place needs people to function. This gave the founder of the new city the opportunity to carefully choose these people to enhance and stabilize his power. Moreover, the city, with its particular location, served as a gateway into Egypt and thus also as a showcase to foreigners. The Egyptian sovereigns could demonstrate their power and access to resources by monumental building. This contribution aims to highlight some rarely discussed motivations for the foundation of Pi-Ramesse. [Formula: see text]

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.
