The rock inscriptions at el-Hosh
I. Regulski
The site of el-Hôsh is situated on the west bank of the Nile,
about 30km south of Edfu and 6km north of Gebel Silsila. The area
is rich in prehistoric rock drawings, pharaonic rock inscriptions
and later graffiti. In March 2006, the Netherlands-Flemish
Institute in Cairo started a preliminary survey, including
recording and photography of the pharaonic rock inscriptions. A
complete understanding of the texts within their geographic context
requires more detailed research; this paper presents some of the
clearest examples by way of introducing pharaonic activity at the
site.
