El Ministerio de Estado para las Antigüedades reveló en un comunicado que el dibujo está tallado en una roca y representa a un rey con la corona del Alto Egipto.
El hallazgo se produjo en la zona de Nag El Hamdulab, al noroeste de la ciudad de Aswan, unos 800 kilómetros al sur de El Cairo.
El dibujo forma parte de una serie de escrituras e imágenes reales que muestran los rituales de los faraones en los tiempos antiguos.
Algunos representan escenas de enfrentamientos, celebraciones en barcas y de pesca, señales del poder político y animales.
Según el comunicado, la zona de Nag El Hamdulab está llena de dibujos e inscripciones antiguos, muchos de ellos todavía no están descubiertos.
The oldest depiction of an Egyptian King wearing the Upper Egyptian crown
“Dr. Maria Carmela Gatto (Director of Aswan-Kom Ombo Archarological Project) made a discovery at Nag el-Hamdulab site(North west of Aswan) of the oldest graffiti shows a King wearing the Upper Egypt headgear(crown) with a group of royal scenes dated back to dynasty zero.” Said Dr. Zahi Hawass. “The find shows many hieroglyphic graffiti and the first drawings shows a complete royal celebration looks exactly like what was known in the different Pharanoic eras, showing the Pharaoh wearing his white crown accompanied by Horus followers or the royal court.” Hawass added.

Dr. Maria Carmela said “This discovery is considered an update or completing the work on the site which was discovered by Dr. Labib Habashi on the west bank on the Nile north of Aswan at Nag El Hamdulab. The new study shows that the site dated back to dynasty Zero which is the same of tomb of Narmer (2960-2770 B.C). The significance of this discovery is the uniqueness of the rock art of the pre-dynastic era represents a procession of boats superintended by the King who is accompanied by 2 standard bearers, one fan bearer and a dog.”
There is a remarkable similarities could be obviously noticed between Nag El Hamdulab tableaux and the Scorpion mace-head, Narmer mace-head and Narmer palette as the scene shows a man with a bow repress a man held captive lying on the ground. The tableaux was restored by the mission after a severe damage using the original photographs by Dr. Labib Habashi which were kept at the Oriental Institute at Chicago University.

Discovered in Aswan the earliest representation of an Egyptian King wearing the White Crown >>> A team from Yale University, University of Bologna and Provinciale Hogeschool Limburg (Belgium) has relocated and completed the first epigraphic and digital record of a site discovered almost a half century ago by the famous Egyptian Egyptologist Labib Habachi near Nag el-Hamdulab on the West Bank of the Nile to the north of Aswan. This new and thorough study has brought to light a previously unknown important Early Dynastic cycle of royal images, with an early hieroglyphic inscription as well. The site has been partially damaged in recent years but reconstruction in drawings and digital images of the main panel was possible thanks to new digital methodologies and to the availability of Dr. Habachi’s photos (now at the Chicago House in Luxor).
This group of images and the short inscription—carved around 3200 BCE, at the dawn of the dynastic period—record the earliest depiction of: a royal Jubilee complete of all the elements known from later documents; an Egyptian ruler wearing a recognizable crown of Egypt; “the following of Horus”, the royal court, as known in Early Dynastic accounts such as the Palermo Stone. The Nag el-Hamdulab scenes are unique, and bridge the world of the ritual Predynastic Jubilee in which images of power—predominately boats and animals—are the chief elements, and the world of the royal pharaonic Jubilee, in which the image of the human ruler dominates the events. The Nag el-Hamdulab cycle of images may be said to show the emergence of the ruler as supreme human priest and incarnate manifestation of human and divine power. The Nag el-Hamdulab cycle is the last of the old nautical Jubilee cycles of the Predyanstic Period, and the first of the pharaonic cycles over which the king, wearing the regalia of kingship—here the oldest form of the White Crown—presides. The Nag el-Hamdulab cycle is also the first of such images with a hieroglyphic annotation. That text refers to a vessel of the “Following,” probably the “Following of Horus,” and may therefore be the earliest record of tax collection we have from Egypt, and the first expression of royal economic control over Egypt and most probably also Nubia.
The Nag el-Hamdulab cycle of images probably dates to about 3200 BCE corresponding to the late Naqada period, in other words, the time between between King Scorpion (the owner of tomb Uj at Abydos)—first king of Dynasty 0—and Narmer—first ruler of Dynasty 1. The discovery is so important that it already figures in a new documentary series from Germany (currently on air on the satellite German TV channels ARTE and ZDF), which will soon be available worldwide.
The Aswan-Kom Ombo Archaeological Project – AKAP is a joint venture between Yale and University of Bologna, lead by Maria Carmela Gatto and Antonio Curci, with an international research team from various European and America countries, and Egypt. Now in its seventh season the project aims to survey and rescue the archaeology of the region between Aswan and Kom Ombo, in the southern part of Upper Egypt.
The epigraphic and digital study has been done by:
Prof. dr. John Coleman Darnell, Professor of Egyptology, Yale University
Dr. Stan Hendrickx, Professor of Art History, Provinciale Hogeschool Limburg, Belgium
Dr. Maria Carmela Gatto, Lecturer and Postdoctoral Associate in Egyptology, Yale University, AKAP Co-director
Dr. Antonio Curci, Assistant Professor of Archaeology, University of Bologna, AKAP Co-director
