| Sumario: | This paper aims to provide an analysis of the doorway to the inner chapel or room in the Theban Tomb 318 (TT 318). This tomb, located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, belonged to a stonemason/worker of the necropolis of Amun called Amenmose who lived during the reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, in the Eighteenth Dynasty. A passage or doorway consisting of a lintel and two jambs connected the transverse hall to the inner chapel. It contained offering formulas for the ka of the deceased and depicted Amenmose and his wife worshiping Anubis and the goddesses of the East and the West. The study of the lintel and its jambs as well as their texts enable us to define this passage as a liminal space where the texts on its jambs can be understood in line with a reading model based on a pattern of internal circulation inside the monument. |
