The article "La vieillesse d'Amon-Rê à Karnak" by Sébastien Biston-Moulin examines a passage from the White Chapel of Senusret I in Karnak. The author proposes a new interpretation, which is compared to a related text from the Akhmenu of Thutmose III in Karnak. Both inscriptions refer to the reconstruction of the temple of Amun-Ra in Karnak and use the metaphor of the aging and rejuvenation of the god. The inscriptions emphasize the worship of the Egyptian god Amun-Ra by the kings Thutmose III and Senusret I. The article also describes the closeness between the rulers Sesostris I and Thutmose III and the aging deity Amun-Ra in the temple of Karnak. It is speculated that the rulers bestowed years of life and rejuvenation upon the god. The article provides detailed information and analysis on various aspects of the temple of Karnak.
