Abstract

This research focuses on the false doors of anx.f (CG 1463) and iSfi (CG 57198), which are currently on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (EMC). In the past, none of these false doors received considerable attention. Their own dedicated study has received little attention. Borchardt (1964) listed the false door of anx.f, but he drew the texts without translation or commentary. Furthermore, neither Borchardt nor any other scientist took photographs of this door. Except for the Egyptian Museum of Cairo's data base, no reference lists the false door of iSfi. The study has so far focused on analyzing the iconography and translating the hieroglyphic texts of the two false doors. According to the titles and calligraphy of writing, the study concluded that the two false doors date back to the end of the Old Kingdom or the beginning of the First Intermediate Period.
