This study examines the funerary texts of the first Nubian God's Wife of Amun, Amenirdis I. The texts, which are inscribed on the walls of her funerary chapel at Medinet Habu, represent one of the most extensive selections of funerary texts belonging to a God's Wife of the Third Intermediate Period. Her texts include two Solar Hymns, eight Pyramid Text utterances (PT), and forty-two scenes from the Opening of the Mouth Ritual (OM). The current work presents a collated textual edition, hieroglyphic transcription and translation of these texts. More importantly, it explains how these three genres of funerary texts function together in the chapel of Amenirdis I.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study examines the funerary texts of the first Nubian God's Wife of Amun, Amenirdis I. The texts, which are inscribed on the walls of her funerary chapel at Medinet Habu, represent one of the most extensive selections of funerary texts belonging to a God's Wife of the Third Intermediate Period. Her texts include two Solar Hymns, eight Pyramid Text utterances (PT), and forty-two scenes from the Opening of the Mouth Ritual (OM). The current work presents a collated textual edition, hieroglyphic transcription and translation of these texts. More importantly, it explains how these three genres of funerary texts function together in the chapel of Amenirdis I.
520 $a Analysis of the direction of reading, the orientation of the hieroglyphic signs, and the placement of texts on the chapel's various walls reveal that complementary and parallel relationships govern the layout of the texts. Laid along a North-South axis, the texts of the western and eastern halves of the chapel were meant to be read simultaneously.
520 $a Priests officiating in Amenirdis's funerary cult would read OM texts (inscribed in retrograde on the upper register) as they proceeded <italic> into</italic> the chapel. OM scenes commence at the chapel's entrance and culminate on its South wall. Once revived, Amenirdis starts her journey out of the chapel by reciting hymns in adoration of Re-Horakhty and Re-Atum. Both hymns belong to the so-called “Ritual of the Hours.” As a spirit, Amenirdis I then proceeds out of the chapel, reading the PT utterances on her way to join the Imperishable Stars in the North Sky. Amenirdis's selections of the Pyramid Texts remain unique in their brevity and conciseness. In only eight utterances, taken from the Resurrection and Offering Rituals, Amenirdis is resuscitated, offered food, and equipped with the proper clothing and insignia needed to achieve the afterlife.
520 $a An overview of the historical development of the office of God's Wife sets this study in context. Moreover, the architectural design of the chapel is traced back to Nubian tombs at Aniba. It is argued that, in the chapel of Amenirdis I, textual content dictated architectural form.
