The "Northern Stores" of Thutmose III are a group of eight rooms accessible via the perimeter corridor of the sandstone enclosure of the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak. Built by Thutmose III during his autonomous reign after the death of Queen Hatshepsut, these rooms form a complex with restricted access that has undergone several architectural transformations, the most notable of which are the modification of its western access during the reign of Thutmose III himself and the decoration of one of the rooms of the complex by Ptolemy XI Soter II nearly fourteen centuries after its construction.
This complex maintains close links with the other structures of the reign of Thutmose III, including the Akh-menou , the new cult heart of the temple of Amun-Re, but also with the access areas and the center of the temple of Karnak.
This volume provides for the first time all the epigraphic material, largely unpublished, from this sector (facsimiles, online hieroglyphic texts and commented translation) as well as complete photographic coverage, produced after the completion, in 2016, of a major restoration and conservation program.
