| Riepilogo: | Based on an unedited hieratic docket from the tomb of Tutankhamun, this article determines financial aspects of royal funeral processions in ancient Egypt. With reference to written sources from the Middle Kingdom, it is concluded that mechanics to safeguard the ritual’s safety included en route cash payments during the 18th Dynasty. As a result, this study advocates caution when it comes to the assessment of looting activities soon after Tutankhamun’s interment in KV 62. |
