The Temple of Athribis in the Context of the Religious Organisation of the 9th Upper Egyptian Province
Résumé
The aim of this presentation is to give an overview of the religious geography of the 9th Upper Egyptian province and more specifically of the place the sacred area of Athribis had in the local religious network. Attention will also be given to the contexts and mentions of the temple of Athribis and its deities in the other written sources stemming from the province, in order to exemplify the influence of the temple in a setting otherwise rather dominated by the temple of Akhmîm (Ipu). In reverse, the importance of the sacred area of Akhmîm, the provincial capital, in the texts of the temple of Athribis will be examined closely, so as to narrow down the relations between the two sanctuaries.
