ANDREY O. BOLSHAKOV: Osiris in the Forth Dynasty Again? The false door of 'Intj, MFA 31.781
with Old Kingdom monuments - it is always very difficult to decide if the men represented in different tombs are the same people or only homonyms. At least, this conjecture does not contradict other particulars pertaining to the tomb of Hm.t-r c (w) and with some reservations it may be used as an extra argument. 3. Since both the position of the tomb and its architecture are characteristic of the Fourth Dynasty, my dating relies on the supposition that the tomb had been not hewn for Hm.t-r r (w) but was only reused by her (Baud cites my words that "it is too good for her"). However, although my statement might not be formulated in the most academic manner, in general it is as just as any other suggestion on personal affairs of Old Kingdom Egyptians based on their monuments, unless they bear biographical inscriptions. The tomb is grand, but inscriptions and representations are placed only on the entrance thicknesses, pillars and lintels, which would be very strange, were it made for a daughter of Chephren in the late Fourth - early Fifth Dynasty. This phenomenon may be well explained within the framework of Manuelian's theory of préfabrication. 4. For the sake of the late dating I reject direct descent of Hm.t-r r (w) from Chephren . Hm.t-r r (wYs being a daughter of Chephren is nothing else than a false assumption engendered by the location of her tomb and having no other grounds. Baud may be in the right stating that since Hm.t-r r (w) had been z3.t n(j)-sw.t n(j.t) h.t.f and even zi.t n(j)-sw.t n(J.t) h.t.fsmsw, she could not have been a minor princess as I suggested, but this does not mean that she had been born by Chephren - any later king could be her father. The fact that the cartouche of Chephren is incorporated into the names of many estates of Hm.t-r r (w) also does not make us prefer her direct descent from this king to a more distant kinship - we still do not positively know how the estates were inherited. 5. Such features of the lintel over the doorway to the inner chapel of Hm.t- r r (w) as the number of lines and the presence of a separator between the text and the figure of the owner are considered unconvincing by Baud "en raison du faible nombre des monuments de cette période (? - A.B.) qui nous sont parvenus". This statement sounds strange be it applied to the late Fourth Dynasty or the second half of the Fifth, since the amount of the materials available and their chronological distribution are sufficient enough for the conclusion on the late date of Hm.t-r c (w). 93 See Harpur, op. cit. (note 3), p. 44.
