Rough Translation: When the warrior Iquer was buried 4,000 years ago, those who interred him could not have imagined that he would be exhibited at the Luxor Museum. But this is what has happened, thanks to the work of the Spanish Project Djehuty, at Dra Abu el-Naga, the Theban necropolis where Jose Manuel Galan's research team has worked more than a decade. The discovery of Dynasty XI coffin (dating to about 2000 BC) was made during the 2008 campaign. Painted red with beautiful polychrome drawings of glyphs, it has since undergone extensive restoration by experts from the Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). Galan says that the only comparable coffin known is one in the Boston Museum, and that it is very well preserved in spite of the presence of large amounts of water in the past.
Cuando el guerrero Iquer fue enterrado, hace 4.000 años, sus sepultureros no podían imaginarse que acabara expuesto en el Museo de Luxor. Pero así ha ocurrido, gracias al trabajo de la misión arqueológica española del Proyecto Djehuty, en Dra Abu el-Naga, la necrópolis tebana en la que el equipo de investigación de José Manuel Galán lleva trabajando más de una década.
El hallazgo del ataúd del arquero de la dinastía XI (unos 2000 a.C.) tuvo lugar durante la campaña de 2008. Pintado de rojo y con hermosos dibujos de jeroglíficos polícromos, desde entonces se ha sometido a una exhaustiva restauración por parte de los expertos del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)-
"Sólo se conoce uno similar, que está en el Museo de Boston, pero el nuestro está muy bien conservado pese a que corrió abundante agua por fuera y por dentro", explica Galán, que la semana pasada se trasladó a Luxor para asistir al acto de entrega en el Museo como responsable del yacimiento.

After almost 10 years in storage at the Luxor antiquities inspectorate, the very distinguished ancient Egyptian objects will take their place in the permanent collection of the Luxor Museum. They were found in the tomb of Djehuty, the overseer of works at Thebes during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut.
The artefacts include the very well-preserved sarcophagus of a Middle Kingdom warrior named Iker, which means "the excellent one". The sarcophagus was found in the courtyard of Djehuty's tomb in 2007, along with five arrows made of reeds, three of them still feathered. These will also be included in the new exhibited collection.
Some clay vases and bouquets of dried flowers that were thrown inside the Djehuty tomb at his funeral are to be exhibited along with a faience necklaces, gilded earrings and bracelets.
Two clusters of ceramic vases, mostly bottles, with shapes typical of those fabricated during the reign of Tuthmosis III, will also be exhibited.
"These artefacts were carefully selected from the collection unearthed at Djehuty's tomb," said Mohamed Ibrahim, minister of state for antiquities.
