| Sumario: | The Middle Kingdom private stelae, found at Abydos, are some of the most important sources of information to analyze, understand, and reconstruct the Egyptian society. In this article, we are particularly interested in one of these stelae (CG 20098). The stela CG 20098, which belongs to a person called Antymmer, with no job titles or ranks mentioned, represents him and his family together with his servants. Its importance lies in the fact that Antymmer belongs to one of the new intermediate social classes that rose during the Middle Kingdom. Thus, in this paper, we also analyze the development of these new social classes during that period, taking the material evidence found in Abydos into account. |
