The Development of the Teti Pyramid Necropolis...
made hieroglyphs and smaller ones of poorer qual-
ity, with a simplification of form and inscriptions.
When considering the inscriptions, the false
doors as well as the offering tables and fragments
of the chapels blocks, it is important to recog-
nise that they make a very valuable source of
information. In many cases, names or titles ap-
pear for the first time. The monuments related to
Merikara confrrm the attribution of his pyramid,
which is preventing for the North East of the Teti
pyramid. A detailed analysis of names and titu-
lary, prosopography, offering formula and pal-
aeography ought to give material conclusions of
a socio-religious and chronological nature. The
afore mentioned monuments make an excellent
base to create a much needed new dating crite-
ria of both the following periods of the cemetery
development and the particular objects. Thereby
it could be possible to define broader historical,
social and religious events, which took place in
the Memphis necropolis from the end of the Old
Kingdom till the end of the Middle Kingdom, as
well as to compare the situation in Lower and Up-
per Egypt during the First Intermediate Period.
