el-Sadeek, Twenty-Sixth Dynasty Necropolis at Gizeh

Wafaa el-Sadeek,
Twenty-Sixth Dynasty Necropolis at Gizeh.
An Analysis of the Tomb of Thery and its Place in the Development
of Saite Funerary Art and Architecture,
Wien, 1984 (Beiträge zur Ägyptologie, 5 = Veröffentlichungen der Institute für Afrikanistik
und Ägyptologie der Universität Wien, 29). - X, 278 pp., 8 pls. - pdf-file (18.9 MB) [PDF]
http://www.gizapyramids.org/pdf%20library/el-sadeek_26thdynasty.pdf

"What I intend to do in this thesis is to confine myself largely to the
Saite necropolis in Gizeh, and to set it in its place among the other
Dynasty XXVI necropoles set throughout Egypt, as well as attempting
to show the characteristics of the Gizeh flowering of that period by
comparing it, especially through the tomb of Thery, with the
architecture, the scenes and the inscriptions of the other great burial
places ... The main focus of the thesis, the tomb-chapel of Thery itself,
will be examined in minute detail .... The aim is to achieve a synthesis
of the Saite style of burial, and to test to what extent Thery's tomb
follows a typically Saite pattern or follows the plans of a unique
individual."
