The King Unas after his death

Abstract EN

The role played by the ancient Egyptian Kings did not only confine to their lifetime.

For some of them, such a role continued after their death.

This is shown in the form of the post mortem veneration or deification.

It reflects the fame of those kings during lifetime as well as their important deeds^ The cults of the deified kings after their death seem to have been limited to specific sites and did not prevail all over the country.

These sites were either the place of birth or the place in which the funerary complexes of Ae kings were erected.

However, there are few exceptions.^ This article deals with the documents showing the veneration of the king Unas after his death.
