Borrowed legacy: Royal tombs S9 and S10 at South Abydos

Article Abstract:

Archaeologists have discovered two tomb structures known as S9 and S10 at South Abydos, Egypt, displaying the same architectural components as those found in the Memphite pyramids, built during the rein of the 13th Dynasty of pharaohs, near Modern Cairo. The excavation of the two sites is yet to reveal the identity of the pharaohs buried within them, but archaeologists are looking for new data that would help in their understanding of the numerous royal figures and their circumstances during the era.

The investigation on the 'shena', the economic wing which coordinated the provisioning and distribution of supplies to the temples, presents a glimpse of how archaeological study can further help in the understanding of the economic and administrative organization of religious institutions.
