Abstract
The first chapter opens with modern conceptions of literacy in order to suggest that a similar multitude of voices may be traced in ancient times. The chapter then surveys images of literacy and their corresponding connotations in five tombs of the Eighteenth Dynasty: the tombs of Puyemre, Rekhmire, and Tjanuni in the Theban necropolis; Meryre’s tomb in Amarna, and Haremhab’s in Saqqara. Each tomb shows a slightly different image of literacy, but shared among all are the association of writing with memory and violence, which are discussed in detail in this chapter.
