description Summary: An Epigraphic Reanalysis of Two Stelae from First Intermediate Period Dendera in the Cairo Museum As the Old Kingdom weakened and the Memphite court lost power, there was a shift in the way in which wealth was redistributed throughout Egypt. This shift gave more power to nomarchs, who were able to usurp more and more formerly royal prerogatives for themselves through titulary and phraseology. The site of Dendera, in Middle Egypt, was an important regional center during Egypt’s First Intermediate Period. The history of the First Intermediate Period shows that, in the absence of a cohesive and unified state, regional centers vied for power. Alliances were based on geography, access to resources, and (on occasion) aggressive action. There are no overt references, either at Dendera or contemporaneously from another site, to aggression involving Dendera. However, Dendera was certainly affected by the power struggles which governed in the absence of a unified leadership. Two First Intermediate Period autobiographical fragments from Dendera, currently in Cairo, help shed light on the political situation through epigraphic/paleographic clues and through explicit content. This paper offers a rereading of these inscriptions, JE 32139 and JE46048.
