| Resumo: | So-called "autobiographies" are a well-attested genre of Egyptian literature. Usually, they are to be found on stelae or on the walls of easily accessible parts of the tomb of the respective "author". Moreover, often such texts explicitly address visitors and passers-by. Therefore they are regarded as a means of communication with the living posterity. While this is undoubtedly an important function of the genre, there are some cases for which this interpretation cannot possibly be true, as these texts were deposited in inaccessible places. This paper presents some examples and proposes an explanation. |
