Abstract

The present article proposes a new connotation to the expression s.t-wr.t, “Great Place”, that could be added to the several meanings that Egyptology has already bestowed on this term. It will be shown that the s.t-wr.t could also refer to the place where, during the Ramesside period the king was crowned and received the signs of the Sed-Festival, as part of the ceremonies confirming royal power.
