Gebel Tjauti
Gebel Tjauti is a
Eighth Dynasty
, around 2150 BC.
The rock is known for a series of
rock inscriptions known as the Gebel Tjauti rock inscriptions, discovered by the Theban Desert Road Survey.[1]
The inscriptions are today much destroyed, but gave rise for some speculation as some fights seems to be mentioned.[2] The inscription seems to report the opening of a road. Close to this inscription was found another one naming a king Intef and the assault of soldiers. The publication of the inscription sees a connection between these two inscriptions and identifies Intef, with Intef I.[3]
