Výpravný katalog v češtině a angličtině doplňuje výstavu Sluneční králové, která probíhala v Národním muzeu v Praze od 1. září 2020 do 31. září 2021. Výstava mapovala více než sto let archeologického výzkumu lokality Abúsír, prováděného egyptskými, německými a českými misemi. Obsahuje 139 záznamů o téměř 300 předmětech z období raně dynastického až ptolemaiovského, včetně královské pohřební výbavy krále Raneferefa, soch kněze Nefera a princezny Šeretnebty, a předmětů ze sajsko-perských šachtových hrobek. Tyto vzácné objekty vyprávějí příběh starověké egyptské civilizace a jejích tvůrců, a katalog tak mapuje existenci a vývoj lokality Abúsír po téměř tři tisíce let.

An investigation into prominent officials across different periods in ancient Egypt.

This collection of articles provides an overview, on the occasion of the Millennium, of Czech work at the Egyptian cemeteries of Abusir and Saqqara over the last 50 years. The contributions are grouped by period and range from studies of Early Dynastic sarcophagi to Coptic pottery.

This publication is the latest monographic outcome of a long-term project of survey and research of the archaeological site of Abusir, focusing on a particular set of cemeteries located at Abusir South. The present volume of the Abusir series concentrates on the mastaba of Neferinpu (AS 37). It aims to present primary data and their basic analysis and interpretation acquired during the tomb examination by the Czech Institute of Egyptology during two subsequent seasons of 2006 and 2007 and followed by some minor campaigns in 2012 and 2013 and a specific analytical campaign in September 2014 carried out by the Japanese team from Tokyo University of Science. The mastaba was built by a sun priest and official Neferinpu who reached the peak of his career during the reign of Nyuserra and Djedkara

The legendary figure of Sinuhe, an Egyptian administrator who fled Egypt upon the assassination of the king later to return without reprisals, is preserved in the Tales of Sinhue found on a number of papyri and ostraca. This study not only includes a translation of the Tale, with commentary, but goes further to explore the historical and political context in which it was written in Middle Kingdom Egypt. Arguing that there is no evidence to suggest that Sinuhe was ever a real historical figure, Barta presents evidence for Sinuhe being a fictitious character, a piece of political propaganda set in an idealised society. Beyond the Tale itself, Barta examines a wide range of Egyptian docuemnts and archaeological evidence from Egypt and the Southern Levant from the early 2nd millennium BC.
