A Rock Inscription of Ramesses IV at Gebelein A Previously Unknown New Kingdom Expedition

Abstract

The article presents a rock inscription of the Twentieth Dynasty king, Ramesses IV, found at the southern end of the Middle Hill of the Western Rock of Gebelein. It yields new evidence related to an unknown expedition sent via Gebelein to the south, and very likely, concerned with the acquisition of stone material for mortuary cult or/and king’s burial place.
