Stories of a Necropolis
SPAIN, 2022, 56’

Dra Abu el-Naga, is a fundamentally important hill in the history of Egypt. The kings of the 17th Dynasty and the first king of the 18th Dynasty were buried there, between 1600 and 1500 BC. C., until Hatshepsut inaugurated the Valley of the Kings. It also attests to the relevance of this necropolis from which also Champollion —discoverer of hieroglyphic writing and father of French scientific Egyptology— passed through, along with Rosellini, the father of Italian Egyptology.
