The tknu is one of the rituals that was performed in the ancient Egyptian funerals. From the Old Kingdom onwards, the rite was included in many funerary scenes. The New Kingdom scenes included most of the appearance of the rite. Scholars disagree on the interpretation of the role and the identity of the tknu. Pictorial and textual evidence will be presented to determine the identity of the tknu; was the rite performed by a priest, statue or by an object? The paper also investigates how and why the rite was done during the funerals. One of the funerary depictions that still pose questions about its role and identity is the tknu. It was one of the elements that appeared in the funerals depictions from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. This rite was performed at the funerals of Saqqara and Thebes. The only evidence for the appearance of this rite in the Old Kingdom comes from the tomb of Ihy/ reused by Idut at Saqqara (pl. 1). In this tomb, which dates back to the early 6th Dynasty, the tknu was represented for the first time, then in two tombs of the 12th Dynasty during the Middle Kingdom Period. Then, most of the depictions appeared in the New Kingdom Theban funerary scenes. This reflects the importance of this rite and how Thebes was the central place in which it was unfolded and developed. |
