Eine Bild-Recherche : Auf den Spuren eines altägyptischen Gartenplans

An ancient Egyptian garden plan, which has a large vineyard in the middle instead of a usual fishpond, is shown in various publications. But the plan is named differently, and each publication has a different source, even though it is the same garden plan. Whose tomb did the garden plan come from and who drew it first? – It turned out that the said garden plan decorated the west wall of the upper cult chaple of tomb complex of Sennefer. He was the mayor of the City Thebes and overseer for the gardens and vineyards of the Temple of Ammun. The Italian Egyptologist Ippolito Rosellini (1800-1843) published extensive reports on the expedition in Egypt and Nubia during 1832-1843, containing around 3,300 pages of text and 395 illustrations. Among the illustrations was the accurately drawn and wonderfully colored garden plan.
