Abstract
   كتلتين حجريتين جنازيتين بالمتحف المصري بالقاهرة                                                                                                                       [Ar]                              
 تهدف هذه الورقة البحثية الحالية إلى دراسة لوحتين جنازيتين من الحجر الجيري تعودان لنفس الفترة الزمنية ولكن من منطقتين مختلفتين: الأولى هى جزء علوي من باب وهمي من اخميم (JE 27659 – CG 1582 – SR 2/15956)، والأخرى هي منظر جداري من سقارة (CG 1528 – SR 2/14843). وهما مجلوبتان من مقابر لكبار رجال الدولة في عصر الدولة القديمة. وهما الآن محفوظتان في المتحف المصري بالقاهرة، اللوحتان تم فهرستهما مع نسخة من النصوص الكتابية. ولم تتم عليهم دراسة وافية لكل محتوياتهما من قبل. واللوحتان تمداننا برؤية واضحة للطقوس والعادات الدينية خلال الدولة القديمة. ان تحليل المناظر والنقوش والطرز الفنية سوف يسهم في زيادة فهمنا للمعتقدات الدينية في عصر الدولة القديمة. بالاضافة الى ذلك تمدنا هذه النقوش القاب ادارية ودينية هامة لموظفين مهمين، والذين لعبوا دوراً هاماً في الدولة المصرية مثل: المشرف على كتبة الحقول، كاتب بيت القرابين وكذلك المشرف على الوثائق الملكية. وهذه الالقاب تعطي صورة واضحة عن التركيب الديني والاداري للدولة خلال عصر الدولة القديمة. 
 
[En]The current paper examines two limestone funeral stone blocks that originated during the same period but were recovered from two different locations: one is an upper portion of a stela from Akhmim (JE 27659 – CG 1582 – SR 2/15956) and the other depicts a mural scene from Saqqara (CG 1528 – SR 2/14843). They originated from private tombs of high-ranking individuals dating back to the Old Kingdom. Currently, they are housed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The two stelae were cataloged, including a copy of their inscriptions. However, no comprehensive study on analyzing all components was conducted. The aim of this study is to evaluate and fully understand the issue from all perspectives. Inscriptions provided important administrative and religious titles for officers who played an important role in the Egyptian state, including overseer of the scribe of the fields, scribe of the house of the offerings, and inspector of the royal documents. Both stelae provided clear insight into the administrative and religious structure during the Old Kingdom.
