PUBLISHED:
G. Roeder, Amarna-Reliefs aus Hermopolis, Hildesheim, 1969, p. 166, pl. 195.

Between 1929 and 1939, the German excavations, led by the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum in Hildesheim, found numerous talatat in Hermopolis, 20 km north of Amarna, in the foundations of a temple built in the time of Ramesses II. More than 1,200 blocks were discovered, originally from the temples of Tel el-Amarna, and used as inexpensive material. The name of the city of Amarna, ‘the Horizon of Aten’, is found next to the cartouche of Akhenaten in several instances on limestone lintels, as well as the name of Nefertiti further to the left.
