• Resumen

  • The paper focuses on how the royal characters are represented in the Westcar papyrus, based on their images in the late Middle Kingdom, after cultural history analysis. Thus, the Westcar papyrus is divided between a Pyramid age, represented by the Third and Fourth Dynasties, and the Age of Re, which is represented by the Fifth Dynasty, and it corresponds to the solar renaissance of the Thirteenth Dynastyideology of kingship and its centring over the sun worship once again.
