The Prayers of Wakh-ʿankh-antef-ʿAa

AMONG the surviving Egyptian texts of the early Eleventh Dynasty is a squareshaped stela of King Wakh-'ankh-Antef. It comes from the king's tomb at el-Tarif, the northernmost part of the Theban West Bank, the so-called Saff el-Qisasiya,' and is now in New York in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (13.182.3). The text was first made known by H. E. Winlock and has been the object of a number of studies.2 In its tenor, as well as in the choice of its wording, the text can rightly be considered a piece of literature of exceptional beauty.3 As it lacks any direct parallels, it should be considered an original creation. Unfortunately, it is impossible to identify its author; King Wakhcankh-Antef is a potential candidate, but it cannot be corroborated that he had special literary talents. The text consists of two separate parts which are distinguished not only by their purpose, but also by their graphic display, the first one being arranged in horizontal lines, the second in vertical columns. M. Lichtheim considered the first one "an evening song addressed to the setting sun, the second one a song to Hathor." Because of their self-contained nature, the two can be studied separately.
