ARCE: The Middle Kingdom Funerary Garden at Dra Abu el-Naga, the Stele of Moskhion, and Greek Stoikh

At the Bowers Museum in the Norma Kershaw Auditorium, Dr. Patricia A. Butz presents a lecture tracing a cross-cultural link between ancient Egypt and Greece through their shared use of grids and gridded texts. The talk explains the Greek concept of stoikhedon, the orderly row and column layout for alphabetic inscriptions that emerged in the late sixth century BCE, and frames it as a dynamic idea shaped by Egyptian models. In Egypt, grid systems guided garden design and water management, a practice seen in Old Kingdom tomb imagery and reinforced by the 2017 discovery of a gridded funerary garden at Luxor led by Dr. José Galán. Drawing on the bilingual Stele of Moschion, the presentation connects modular units, or stoikoi, in Egyptian agriculture to the way letterforms traverse magical grids, echoing the movement of water through cultivated plots. This is a ticketed program with free admission for Bowers and ARCE members and a $15 general ticket. A recorded online screening is also available, free for Bowers and ARCE members and $10 for general audiences, with access emailed to ticketholders one week after the onsite program.
