Die Felsgräbernekropole der Qubbet el Hawa bei Assuan
Abstract
In den Jahren 1959-1984 hat der verstorbene Bonner Emeritus für Ägyptologie Prof. Dr. Elmar Edel in über 20 Feldkampagnen einen Großteil der Felsgräbernekropole der Qubbet el-Hawa (Aswan) an der Grenze von Oberägypten zu Nubien freigelegt und dokumentiert. Es handelt sich dabei um die Begräbnisstätten der lokalen Elite aus dem Ende des Alten Reiches (ca. 2300 v. Chr.). Deren Hauptaufgabe bestand in der Ausführung und Kontrolle des Afrikahandels mittels mehrmonatiger Expeditionszüge in das umgebende Ausland (Sudan, Rotmeerküsten, aber auch Levante). Dementsprechend manifestieren sich in der Architektur, der Dekorationen (Bild und Text) sowie in den Beigaben der Grabanlagen nicht nur lokale Begräbnissitten, sondern auch die Aneignung des kulturspezifischen Welt- und Jenseitsbildes in selten reicher und gut erhaltener Form. Dazu wird in dieser Quellenpublikation das Material zum größten Teil als kommentierte editio princeps vorgelegt.

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.
