The Scribes’ Cave. Graffiti and the production of social space in Ancient Egypt circa 1500 BCE
Résumé
Graffiti have the power to turn space into meaningful places for those who appropriate them through their written testimonies. In this sense, it is possible to say that graffiti created the "Scribes' cave" in the sacred spot of Deir el-Bahari, which lies close to the royal funerary temples on the West Bank of Thebes.
