Jeanne Marie Thérèse Vandier d'Abbadie

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

Jeanne Marie Thérèse Vandier d'Abbadie (né à Nuremberg, le 26 septembre 1899, morte à Neuilly-sur-Seine le 25 avril 1977) est une égyptologue française.

 Née en Allemagne d'une vieille famille protestante française, Jeanne grandit à Paris dans un milieu d'artistes et d'acteurs. Ayant obtenu son bac littéraire, passionnée de théâtre, elle joue de petits rôles sous la direction de M^me Lara^[1]. Elle entre à l'École Nationale des Beaux-Arts puis à l'École du Louvre. Là, au Louvre, elle est fascinée par l'archéologie et suit des cours d'égyptologie auprès de Charles Boreux. Poursuivant ses études à l'Institut catholique de Paris, elle y rencontre Jacques Vandier, qu'elle épouse le 5 novembre 1931. En 1932, elle part avec lui en Égypte pour y travailler au sein de l'Institut français d'archéologie orientale, jusqu'en 1936.
De retour à Paris en 1939, Jeanne Vandier aide le conservateur du musée du Louvre, son ancien professeur Charles Boreux, a évacuer les trésors du musée. Aucun objet n'a été détérioré durant la guerre et tous ont pu être réinstallés en 1946 sous la supervision de son mari qui devient le nouveau conservateur du musée.
En 1955, Jacques subit une attaque de poliomyélite et reste gravement handicapé des membres inférieurs. Il continue cependant son travail jusqu'à sa mort en octobre 1973. Les dernières années de Jeanne sont consacrées à la publication des recherches de son mari et à des projets inachevés comme des copies de textes du Moyen Empire égyptien du temple de Tod. Elle ne survit que quatre ans à son mari et décède à Neuilly-sur-Seine le 25 avril 1977.

Fragmentary ushabtis of Akhenaten

Fragmentary ushabtis of Akhenaten from his original tomb in Amarna, now in the Brooklyn Museum

The tomb of Merefnebef

In front of and above the characters are ten columns of text mentioning their names and titles. Thus, on the north side are, Merefnebef, Meresankh and the two sons Mem the Elder and Manefer; on the south, Merefnebef, Sesheshet and the two sons Fefi and Manefer.

The two women have a long tripartite wig, and long tight dresses with two broad straps covering the breasts.

Sesheshet, who here has the title of "his wife", is represented several times in the tomb. Meresankh, however, is only represented here and only with the title "Honoured by Anubis", which probably indicates that she had died when the scene was created. As everywhere else in the chapel, male bodies are painted red, and that of females yellow. The clothes of both males and females are always white.

Merefnebef is represented in the same way as on the facade, in a combination of frontal and lateral views; his head is shaved, and he doesn't have an artificial beard. He wears a long skirt, held by a belt of the same material and fastened at the front; he wears sandals on his feet. This type of representation of the vizier is found only here. In contrast, elsewhere in the tomb, he always wears a wig (either long or short), a beard, and a short kilt.

Why therefore this exception? It could be bound to the location of the scenes : that of leaving his tomb. Perhaps he wanted to appear in a special state of purity on his "exit" from the other world.

The tomb of Merefnebef was discovered in 1997 on the site of Saqqara, by a team from The Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology of the Warsaw University, controlled by Prof. Karol Myśliwiec. The discovery followed two years of location work on the terrain, notably geophysical, followed by surveys.

The tomb of Irukaptah at Saqqara, also called Khenu

Irukaptah holds, by the stem, a lotus flower which he holds in front of his nose in order to breathe perfume from it. As already seen in many other monuments, it is about a symbol of rebirth, but it was rare for men at this period. It is however found in two almost contemporary mastabas, the one of Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep (which is already present on OsirisNet) which is also under the Unas causeway, and the one of Iymery (G6020) which is at Giza (see ch-78). The scene showing Niankhkhnum breathing the lotus is located in good place, in the impressive hallway which leads into the part of the burial carved into the cliff (see tb-30 and tb-31). Irukaptah could not fail to see it and it is quite possible that it served as a model for him.

In front of Irukaptah's face, can be read the following, inscribed in black: "The libationer and butcher of the palace, Irukaptah".
