“…The textiles are also consistent with Egyptian mummies. The inscribed bandages (see above) and the use of linen amulets [14] support the AMS dating, and serve to narrow it a bit further, placing the mummies in the Ptolemaic era.…”

Two ancient Egyptian child mummies at the University of Tartu Art Museum (Estonia) were, according to museum records, brought to Estonia by the young Baltic-German scholar Otto Friedrich von Richter, who had travelled in Egypt during the early 19th century. Although some studies of the mummies were conducted, a thorough investigation has never been made. Thus, an interdisciplinary team of experts studied the remains using the most recent analytical methods in order to provide an exhaustive analysis of the remains. The bodies were submitted for osteological and archaeothanatological study, radiological investigation, AMS radiocarbon dating, chemical and textile analyses, 3D modelling, entomological as well as aDNA investigation. Here we synthesize the results of one of the most extensive multidisciplinary analyses of ancient Egyptian child mummies, adding significantly to our knowledge of such examples of ancient funerary practices.

“…48-51). Bei späten Amulettpapyri, sowohl Vorlagen als auch konkreten Anwendungen, sind derart niedrige Blatthöhen nicht selten (Dieleman 2015). Festzuhalten ist, dass dieses Format für Handschriften, bei denen eine Verwendung im Tempelbetrieb plausibel ist, sonst nicht belegt werden kann (und für die Nutzung in der aktuellen Rezitation angesichts der häufigen Notwendigkeit, eine neue Seite aufzurollen, auch wenig praktisch ist), was für die Bewertung des vorliegenden Papyrus von einiger Relevanz ist.…”

Summary A recent re-publication of the so-called Hymns to the Diadem (pMoscow 314) is an occasion to take up some questions related to that manuscript. It is shown that the original dating to the 17th (or very early 18th) dynasty is correct against the new proposal to date it to the reign of Amenemhet III, and that synchronically the beneficiary of the ritual is a god, even if it is likely to be an adaption of a royal ritual. Linguistic details point towards a date for the composition in the Old Kingdom. Several philological problems are discussed, and weaknesses in the new edition are pointed out.

The so-called chapitres supplémentaires, BD 162 to 167, Pleyte, have been composed during the last phase of the history of the Book of the Dead. The group of spells 163, 164, and 165 was first introduced into this corpus as an addition to it, while BD 162 seems to be considered the conclusive chapter of this ensemble. Furthermore, their originality lies in the main role played by the Theban theology and, on a lexical level, in the attempt to give them a Nubian background. Stylistically, they show some features of Late Egyptian, while the rest of the corpus is written in classical Middle Egyptian.
