Abstract

This paper is the second part of the study of some reused Pharaonic blocks in Cairo Islamic monuments. These blocks are mostly unpublished. The studied blocks are the threshold in Khanqah-Mausoleum of Sultan Baybars AL Jashankir, the text on this block dates to the time of Ramesses IX. The second block is the threshold in Gateway of Wekala of Qusoun, the text on this block dates to the time of Ramesses II. The third block is the threshold in Ahmed Ibn Shaaban Zawia, which dates to the time of Senwosert. The fourth block is the threshold in Othman Katkhoda (Kekhya) mosque, this block was noted by Daressy, and he thought it is a part of a Saite period sarcophagus lid. The provenance of these blocks could be suggested according to the texts on each of them. According to the study of these blocks, Heliopolis is the provenance of most of them.
