A quantitative analysis of the Third Intermediate Period Nile Level Records from the Karnak ‘Quay’ and their implications

The Nile Level Records were found by Georges Legrain in 1896 on the side of what has been called the ‘Karnak quay’ in front of the first pylon of the temple of Amun at Karnak. Ever since they were discovered, much of the research on them has been focused on the assistance they can provide for clarif...

Ever since they were discovered, much of the research on them has been focused on the assistance they can provide for clarifying the difficult chronology of the Third Intermediate Period, rather than the information they can give us about the nature of the environmental conditions during this period. This is an oversight given that paleo-environmental evidence from Nile sources in the Ethiopian Highlands appear to suggest that this was a period of low Nile floods, and that these are the most closely dated records to the end of the New Kingdom - something which is attributed by some scholars to a decline in flood levels. This article carries out a quantitative analysis of the surviving records and reviews what the results can tell us about the nature of the annual floods and Egyptian reactions to periods of low annual floods. Los registros del nivel del Nilo fueron encontrados por Georges Legrain en 1896 en el lado de lo que se ha llamado el "muelle de Karnak" frente al primer pilón del templo de Amón en Karnak. Desde que fueron descubiertos, gran parte de la investigación sobre ellos se ha centrado en la ayuda que pueden brindar para aclarar la difícil cronología del Tercer Período Intermedio, más que en la información que pueden brindarnos sobre la naturaleza de las condiciones ambientales durante este período. Esto es un descuido dado que la evidencia paleoambiental de las fuentes del Nilo en las tierras altas de Etiopía parece sugerir que este fue un período de bajas inundaciones del Nilo, y que estos son los registros más cercanos al final del Nuevo Reino, algo que es atribuido por algunos estudiosos a una disminución en los niveles de inundación. Este artículo lleva a cabo un análisis cuantitativo de los registros sobrevivientes y revisa lo que los resultados pueden decirnos sobre la naturaleza de las inundaciones anuales y las reacciones egipcias a los períodos de bajas inundaciones anuales.
