This paper offers new insights into the worship of Ptah of the Place of Beauty in Thebes by analysing a range of evidence, including tomb scenes, graffiti, stelae, ostraca, and other resources. It aims to provide a better understanding of the development of the cult of this local Theban form of Ptah, as well as his iconography, cult centre(s), and his worshippers. In addition, the article investigates the connection between Ptah of the Place of Beauty and the Valley of the Queens and explores whether the rock-cut chapels between Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Queens could be considered as the cult centre of Ptah of the Place of Beauty, as proposed by Bruyère.

“…Robbins opened by stating, "My description of their use does not claim to be complete, and there are many problems still to be solved; there is no comprehensive study of terms" (p. 197). Bierbrier (1980) followed Robbins's attempt with a study titled "Terms of Relationship at Deir El-Medinah," in which he concluded that terms of Relationship in the Tombs-reliefs and stelae usually do indicate an actual relationship rather than a vague affinity, but the terms may have a wider meaning than hitherto been supposed. (p. 7) Willems (1983) was the next to embark on a systematic study of ancient Egyptian kinship with his article "A Description of Egyptian Kinship Terminology of the Middle Kingdom, c.2000-1650 The aim of Willems's study was to fill the gap in the previous studies of ancient Egyptian kinship by providing formal rules governing ancient Egyptian terms.…”

“…Although ancient Egyptian kinship terms have been somewhat clarified, their use and the kinship system require further study. Robbins (1993) and Bierbrier (1980) draw no conclusion on the type of kinship system used by the ancient Egyptians in their work. Although Fattovich sees it as Kariera, Jensen describes it as Hawaiian, and Willems (1983) describes it as a Maygar system with intergeneration extension rules, Franke determines the system to be both symmetrical and bilateral (Helck & Westendorf, 1986, pp.…”

Egyptologists have produced vast amounts of data on various aspects of the ancient Egyptian society. This information has primarily been developed from ancient Egypt's archaeological and textual records. Egyptologists believe that the data (archaeological and textual records) provide the answers to any questions surrounding ancient Egyptian society; they need only to be translated or excavated (Trigger, 1993, p. 2).1 Because Egyptology is a combination of archaeology, philology, and linguistics, the interpretation of these data has been of great interest to other disciplines.From the archaeological and textual records, numerous studies have been produced on certain aspects of ancient Egyptian society, marriage, family, women, sexual life, and customs. But these studies deal with kinship in an allusive manner. In 1927, Murray published an article titled "Genealogies of the Middle Kingdom" in the journal Ancient Egypt. This article is often cited to give credibility to the popular albeit erroneous assumption that ancient Egypt (pharaonic) was rampant with consanguineous marriages, that is, brother-sister and father-daughter.Indeed, what this article illustrated was Murray's unfamiliarity with the indigenous meaning of ancient Egyptian kinship terms. Consequently, Murray (1927) disposes of the idea that kinship terms such as snt (sister) and hmt (wife) may have different cultural connotations than those of Europe. Murray states emphatically, It is often argued that the terms of relationship were not as strictly applied as at the present day, and that when a woman is said to be a "sister of a man," the word may mean "wife's sister," "brother's 139
