Spaces in the Egyptian funerary topography are generally translated as “Underworld”, “World of the Dead” or “Afterlife”. In the so-called Book of Amduat, a funerary composition represen-ted in royal tombs since the 18th Dynasty, the coexistence of different spaces in the immensity of the Duat is evi...

In the so-called Book of Amduat, a funerary composition represen-ted in royal tombs since the 18th Dynasty, the coexistence of different spaces in the immensity of the Duat is evident. Rosetau, Imhet, and the so-called land of Sokar, can sometimes appear as interchangeable or functionally assimilable terms. In the particular case of its fourth and fifth hours, the functional interrelation between the two shows the topography of the Afterlife in all its complexity; in the space of the Duat, one travels through the roads of Rosetau and descends to the land of Sokar to converge in the Imhet, the deepest cavern of the Duat. A detailed reading that compares the general and particular contexts becomes necessary to define exactly what each of them refers to. Our proposal is to analyze the concept of Imhet present in the Book of Amduat, placing it in relation to Rosetau, Duat and the land of Sokar, while continuing to review the previous funerary literature that mentions it, as well as its functionality. Los espacios de la topografía funeraria egipcia son generalmente traducidos como “Inframundo”, “Mundo de los Muertos” o “Más Allá” en la egiptología en español. En el denominado Libro del Amduat, composición funeraria representada en las tumbas reales desde la Dinastía 18, la co-existencia de distintos espacios en la inmensidad de la Duat es ostensible. Tanto Rosetau, Imhet y la denominada tierra de Sokar pueden en ocasiones aparecer como términos intercambiables o funcionalmente asimilables. En el caso particular de su cuarta y quinta horas, la interrelación funcional entre ambas nos muestra la topografía del Más Allá en toda su complejidad; en el espacio de la Duat se transita por los caminos de Rosetau y se desciende a la tierra de Sokar para confluir en la Imhet, la caverna más profunda de la Duat. Una lectura detallada que compare los contextos generales y particulares deviene necesaria para delimitar exactamente a qué se alude con cada uno de ellos. Nuestra propuesta es analizar el concepto de Imhet presente en el Libro del Amduat y ponerlo en relación con Rosetau, Duat y la tierra de Sokar, sin dejar de recorrer la literatura funeraria previa que lo menciona, así como su funcionalidad. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/16254 10.34096/rihao.n25.16254 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/16254/13877 Derechos de autor 2024 Mariano Bonanno Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 25 (2024) 2683-9660 0325-1209 Amduat funerary literature topography New Kingdom Amduat literatura funeraria topografía Reino Nuevo The Imhet region: Its Spatial Significance in the Interaction of the Fourth and Fifth Hours of the Book of Amduat La región Imhet: su significación espacial en la interacción de las cuarta y quinta horas del Libro del Amduat info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=16254_oai
