I28-R263-article-162552024-12-28T01:39:06Z The dance scenes in the private tombs at Amarna Las escenas de danza en las tumbas privadas de Amarna Bueno Guardia, Miriam Amarna dance music tombs Amarna danza música tumbas To the east of the city of Akhetaten there are two necropolises with the tombs of some of the high dignitaries who lived during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten. In them, as in the private Theban tombs of the New Kingdom, we can find different scenes of music and dance, thanks to which we can understand the importance of both activities during the Amarna period. This paper presents a brief study of the architecture and decoration of these tombs and will focus on the study of the different dance scenes found in them. These representations, performed by both men and women, can be divided into different groups according to their typology: female orchestras, pantomimic dances, and dance scenes within the royal harem. Each group has its own characteristics, related to iconography and meaning. In addition, they are clearly different from the dance scenes found in other necropolises used during the New Kingdom (such as Thebes or el-Kab), so a comparison between them is necessary to understand the religious and artistic changes that occurred during the reign of Akhenaten. Al este de la ciudad de Aketatón se encuentran dos necrópolis con las tumbas de algunos de los altos dignatarios que vivieron durante el reinado del faraón Akenatón. En ellas, al igual que pasa con las tumbas tebanas privadas del Reino Nuevo, podemos encontrar diferentes escenas de música y danza, gracias a las cuales podemos comprender la importancia de ambas actividades durante la época amarniense. Este artículo presenta un breve estudio sobre la arqui-tectura y decoración de estas tumbas y se centrará en el estudio de las diferentes escenas de danza encontradas en ellas. Estas representaciones, protagonizadas tanto por hombres como por mujeres, pueden dividirse en diferentes grupos según su tipología: orquestas femeninas, danzas pantomímicas y escenas de danza dentro del harén real. Cada grupo tiene sus caracte-rísticas propias, tanto iconográficas como de significado. Además, se diferencian claramente de las escenas de danza encontradas en otras necrópolis usadas durante el Reino Nuevo (como Tebas o el-Kab), por lo que es necesaria una comparación entre ellas para entender los cambios religiosos y artísticos que se producen durante el reinado del faraón Akenatón.
