The first millennium BC in Egypt was characterised by foreign rule as well as significant cultural and social changes relating to both the tomb and the temple. Commemorative monuments like statuary, particularly the hundreds deposited within the cachette at Karnak temple that date within the 21st – 26th Dynasty, can offer valuable insights.
This talk will take some fascinating examples from the cachette to explore how elite statues and their accompanying inscriptions shed light on how people continued to engage with their gods, but also how the production of such monuments with long-established traditions and beliefs was impacted by societal and religious developments beyond the sacred temple space.
