Abstract
This chapter presents some results of the excavations undertaken since 2002 at Dayr al-Barshā. It presents a complete survey of the results achieved, nor to present the most remarkable objects. The chapter discusses the site of Dayr al-Barshā as a point of departure for an analytical study of Middle Kingdom nomarchal culture. It entails a reappraisal of the types of sources that have always elicited most attention, such as autobiographical inscriptions and the Coffin Texts. It is important that these are not isolated from their social, historical, archaeological, and religious contexts. Egyptological libraries contain innumerable studies on Gods, temples, and theology. Every Egyptologist is also well aware that these aspects are of key importance in the Coffin Texts, which are frequently found inscribed on the insides of Middle Kingdom coffins.Keywords: Coffin Texts; Dayr al-Barshā; Egyptologist; Middle Kingdom nomarchal culture; religious context
