Chapter La stele di Hatiay a Cortona
Abstract
The stele, donated to the Museum of the Etruscan Academy of Cortona by Monsignor Guido Corbelli in 1894, was already described in the catalog of the Egyptian collection by Giuseppe Botti, in 1955. It belongs to a typology well known during the New Kingdom, with a depiction of solar boat in the lunette, fragmentary, and a hymn to the rising Sun, inscribed on five horizontal bands. Compared to the first edition, it is possible to integrate some expressions into the hymn, but above all the reading of two signs depicting divinities in the title of the owner, Hatiay, must be corrected. In this way, it can be connected to a group of high dignitaries of the first half of the 19th dynasty, and it is at least possible to identify him with a Hatiay of the same name who has very similar title
