AI总结:

本文通过分析古埃及 Merer 日记,揭示了 Khufu 统治时期应用于金字塔建设的历法系统与物流管理,展现了古埃及在时间记录与组织上的高度现代性。

摘要:

Merer 日记(papyri Wadi al-Jarf)的发现让我们得以看到应用于日志记录中的埃及历法。该日记可追溯至 Khufu 统治的第 26 年,描述了 Merer 及其船员将石灰石块从 Tura 采石场运往 Akhet Khufu,即 Khufu 金字塔(Old Kingdom)的过程。我们发现了一种历法,包含 30 天的月份、10 天的周、五个 epagomenal days(Tallet, 2017),以及 Merer 适应一年季节变化的工作安排。季节和 epagomenal days 的名称依据 Fourth Dynasty 末期或 Fifth Dynasty早期的 Nj-k'-'nh (Nikaiankh) Tehne 墓东墙上的铭文。该日记让我们对古埃及物流中的极度现代性有了总体印象。Merer 看起来像是在 Akhet Khufu 以良好计时声誉而闻名的人。

英文摘要:

The discovery of the Diary of Merer (papyri Wadi al-Jarf) allows us to see the Egyptian calendar applied in a logbook. The diary is dated to the 26th year of reign of Khufu and describes Merer and his crew transporting the limestone blocks from the Tura quarries to Akhet Khufu, that is, the pyramid of Khufu (Old Kingdom). We find a calendar with 30-day months, 10-day weeks, five epagomenal days (Tallet, 2017) and Merer's job adapted to the seasons of the year. Seasons and epagomenal days have names according to inscriptions on the east wall of the Tehne tomb of Nj-k'-'nh (Nikaiankh), end of Fourth Dynasty or early Fifth Dynasty. The Diary gives us an overall impression of extreme modernity in the logistics of ancient Egypt. And Merer looks like a person with a reputation for good timekeeping at Akhet Khufu.
