Djehuty revela nuevos datos sobre la construcción del Imperio Egipcio
ABC (Itziar Reyero)
The discovery of the burial chamber revealed something of a labyrinth, at a depth of 12 meters and hidden behind a maze of halls and pits covered with earth and stones. José Manuel Galán says that the chamber is like an open book of history, providing knowledge about the lives, beliefs and religious ritesas well as details of everyday life at the time. Thanks to these drawings, he says we now know more about the internal politics of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut and the development of Egypt under her reign. Although no sarcophagus was located the team found various grave goods including seven gold pendants which belonged to a family member.
El descubrimiento de la cámara mortuoria fue, en palabras del investigador del CSIC, un tanto «laberíntico», pues ésta se hallaba a 12 metros de profundidad, escondida detrás de una maraña de salas y pozos cubiertos de tierra y piedras. Pero la insistente búsqueda mereció la pena. «Su cámara es como un libro de Historia abierto; ahora conocemos todo sobre su vida, sus creencias o sus ritos religiosos. También están inscritos en ella detalles de la vida cotidiana de la época. Gracias a esos dibujos -añade- hoy sabemos algo más sobre la política interior de la Reina Hat-shepsut y la construcción del Imperio». Y aunque el grupo de arqueólogos no halló el sarcófago de Djehuty -«su tumba fue reutilizada», afirma José Manuel Galán-, sí encontraron varios objetos del ajuar y siete pendientes de oro que «pertenecieron a alguna familiar».
