The article describes the scenes from Rameses III that decorate the two lower registers of the north face of the west tower of the eighth pylon at Karnak, and analizes their most relevant iconographic elements. Among them, those present in the scenes of the central register stand out, as they depict, in a schematic way, the ceremonial of renewal of the power of Rameses III as king of the Two Lands. It is stated that these scenes follow the same pattern previously established by his illustrious predecessor, Rameses II. |
