Οι Περιπέτειες του Ουεναμούν, Αιγύπτιου ιερέα του Άμμωνα των Θηβών στη Φοινίκη.
Αναφορά μιας περιπέτειας που συνέβηκε πριν από 3087 χρόνια - έκδοση Μουχάμαντ Σαμσαντίν Μεγαλομμάτη
The Adventures of Wenamun, Egyptian Priest of Amun of Thebes, in Phoenicia
Report of an adventure that took place before ca. 3100 years - edited by Prof. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Wenamun, the Egyptian priest of Amun of Thebes, traveled around 1075 BCE through Sais to Byblus of Phoenicia to get the precious cedar wood that was needed to have a holy boat of Amun sculpted in Thebes. He left a fascinating report that is the subject of this book.
Published in Greek, in 1992 (Stohastis Publishing House, Athens - Greece), 160 p., the book consists in the first Egyptological publication in Greece, and in the first direct translation from Classical Egyptian (Hieroglyphic) to Modern Greek.
The author attached a Preface with respect to the Egyptological material and background in Greece, including a list of related lectures and public conferences that were held in Athens in the late 80s and early 90s.
The Introduction focuses the modern Egyptological research on Wenamun. The author dedicated his book to Prof. Sarah Israelit Groll, with whom he had precisely a seminar on Wenamun at the Mount Scopus Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1984 where the famous Israeli Egyptologist taught Egyptology for many years.
Throughout his vast analysis, Megalommatis refers to her interpretations on several occasions, and more particularly in the long and extensive comments that follow the Egyptian Hieroglyphic text and the Modern Greek translation.
Of particular interest in this regard are the author´s efforts to establish a correct chronological order of events mentioned and described throughout the text of Wenamun.
At the end, lists of Hieroglyphic signs (from Gardiner's Grammar), rich and diverse photographical material, as well as maps and diagrams highlighting Wenamun´s itinerary give the reader an enlightening pictorial understanding of the Ancient Egyptian world.
