The Rock Engravings of Boats of Sinai and the Pharaonic Maritime Expeditions
Résumé
During the years 2004 to 2011, Pierre Tallet, Professor of Egyptology at Paris- Sorbonne University, Paris IV, conducted a systematic survey of the inscrip-tions of the southern Sinai in order to complete the book of A.H. Gardiner, T.E. Peet and J. Černý, published in London in 1952 and 1955. The result of this survey was edited by Tallet, in 2012. Among the rock inscriptions, Tallet identified thirty-two engravings representing boats. They have been studied by myself and first published in Tallet’s book.
