Abstract

This research paper presents the study and analysis of the remains of the cartonnage excavated in the Atfih area. It investigates the location, makes comparisons with several cartonnages, determines the source and date, and defines the era of the cartonnage. The cart-onnage clearly demonstrated that Egyptian funerary art survived after the fall of the Egyptian monarchy. The Egyptian religion and deities were disseminated in Greek society in Egypt. Additionally, the forms of Egyptian deities were commonly merged, so a scarab appeared on the head of the falcon Hor. The entire excavation site was dated by comparing the cartonnage understudy with others with the same drawings. Additionally, comparing the cartonnage understudy with many other pieces from different parts of Egypt revealed that the cartonnage was dated to the mid-third century BC. This date conforms with the excavated lamps and amphorae in the same area. They were all dated to the mid-third century BC.
