Abstract

The research deals with the study of the decorations of the palace of Amenhotep III through an analysis of the decorative elements used in the decorations of floors, walls, dados, ceilings, and architectural elements represented in columns, beams, window bar barriers, and colored niches. The importance of the subject is due to the fact that it represents a problem for the architect to this day, due to the need to cover large areas of architectural designs with satisfactory, pleasing, eye-pleasing, and harmonious decorations. It is worth noting that Titus, the discoverer of the palace of Amenhotep III in Malqata, indicated that the decorative designs used deserve further study, but researchers did not proceed to address this subject, as the archaeological remains of the palace are completely missing except for a few   rare indications in excavation reports, and the unique and distinguished collections in the world museum. The research aims to shed light and draw a picture of what the decorations of the palace of Amenhotep III were like, with an attempt to employ the archaeological remains of the decorations of the palace of Amenhotep through a comparative study with the remains of the decorations of the palace of his son Akhenaten in Amarna and the decorations of the tombs of Thebes from the same era of King Amenhotep III.
