A Note On The Identification Of The ‘Bankes Tomb’ As Tt 64, Daniele Salvoldi Dr.
Faculty Journal Articles
In 2013, Stefanie Hardekopf argued for the identification of the ‘Bankes Tomb’ with TT 64. Her arguments were convincing, but they lacked the ultimate proof, i.e. the presence of a cartouche of Thutmose IV in archival documents from the Bankes papers referring to the tomb. This short note provides further data, publishing a previously unstudied manuscript indeed holding a copy of the cartouches of Thutmose IV hanging from the neck of a hunter said to belong to the same tomb as the other fragments cut by Bankes.

Domenico Enegildo Frediani (1783-1823) is that kind of forgotten travellers whose death is shrouded in the mystery of a foreign country, cursed with madness and destruction of his literary work. Even though the documentation amassed by Arturo Wolynski in 1891 is quite huge a total of seventy-six pages still much is unknown about this early Tuscan traveller. Since the publication of this first, and only, essay on his life, more documents that could shed new light on his African explorations and on his death have been uncovered.
