Through comparative descriptions and analyses, several indicators such as the location, association, iconography, use and function of artefacts and structures are studied. The main aim of this study is to determine whether through the diachronic and comparative analysis for pre-Amarna, Amarna and post-Amarna stages, a continuum in the religious practices (and the archaeological record) can be traced or if, on the contrary, the Amarna period implied a neat division and alterations in private personal religious actions. Similarly, this research embraces other problems, subject to current debate, associated with the study of religious practices in domestic contexts since the early New Kingdom un...

It was inhabited by a community of workmen who built the tombs of the Valley of the Kings (Toivari-Viitala 2011). This workmen's village provides a wide range of sources for the study of daily life (McDowell 1999; Meskell 2002), economy, politics and personal beliefs (Weiss 2015) during the New Kingdom (from the reign of Thutmose I until that of Ramesses XI).

Religion and magic were closely related with regards to the use of water as a purifying and healing element but also as a nourishing offering. The main aim of this paper is to present a wider insight into the importance of water in religious rituals within ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom—early and late New Kingdom included, 18 th Dynasty— and Ramesside period—19 th and 20 th dynasties— but also in magic and medicine.

En este estudio se incluira un estado de la cuestion en primera instancia, en el cual se someteran a revision las diferentes corrientes de pensamiento. Seguidamente, se analizaran los antecedentes y el contexto de la ruptura que supuso la fase amarnica del reinado de Amenofi s IV (futuro Akhenaton). A continuacion, se tratara esta ruptura religiosa y sus posibles causas. En tercer lugar, el trabajo recogera los factores del declive del culto a Aton, asi como la restauracion del poder del clero de Amon. Finalmente, se concluira presentando las consecuencias que tuvo este periodo en la sociedad.
