Author Description

Sen-en-Mut was one of the most powerful and influential men in Egypt during the joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III (c. 1479-1457 BC), during the 18th dynasty. He held more than ninety administrative, religious and political posts, and was responsible for the construction of splendid monuments that we marvel at today, such as the temple of Deir El Bahari, in western Luxor. For the first time, in a bilingual edition Egyptian-Heroglyphic-Spanish. The authors, Teresa Bedman and Francisco J. Martín Valentín, Egyptologists, who directed for eight years (2000-2008) the Spanish archaeological mission of the "Sen-en-Mut Project (TT353)", have rescued and translated the texts that, sculpted on the walls and painted on the ceiling of the first chamber of the hypogeum-cenotaph that Sen-en-Mut had himself excavated in the vicinity of the Temple of Deir El Bahari, would resurrect him and lead him to the Beyond.
