Abstract

Consecration texts are among the most important formulas that document religious and social relations from the beginning of the dynasties until the end of ancient Egyptian history. The word consecration means setting aside something for a specific purpose. Consecration in tombs carried deep religious meanings aimed at immortalizing the memory of the deceased and ensuring his continuity in the afterlife. There were several formulas used to indicate the word consecration, and these formulas differed from period to another, including the formula (ir.n.f) which refers to "what he did, made, or dedicated," and the formula (di.f) (di.sn) meaning "dedicated - gave - allocated".

The research aims to Studying the dedication formulas on false doors during the New Kingdom (from the reign of Queen Hatshepsut until the reign of King Thutmose IV), and studying the

locations where these formulas are recorded on the false doors. The research also aims to identify the scenes accompanying the dedication text.
