Now they are heading towards the areas of the border stelae, an area in which some 15 stelae have been found, each one labeled with a letter. Three of them are found on the western side of the Nile, designated A, B and F. Stela A is the northernmost and is found at Tuna el-Yebel. The other twelve are on the eastern side of the Nile and are represented by the letters J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, U, V, X. The furthest is the X which is near the tombs of el-Sheikh Said. This system of systematic naming of stelae was created by the English Egyptologist Flinders Petrie and is still used today.

They go in search of the stela “U” is located on the eastern shore, forming part of the so-called second group consisting of the stelae.

This stela is one of the five best preserved and thanks to them it has been possible to fully reconstruct the text called “of the proclamation.” The stela is 7.6 high and is very close to the royal tombs of Amaran (TA-26).

It belongs to year 6 of the reign of Akhenaten, although it was later expanded in year 8. The main theme is the consecration of the city of Ajetaton to the god Aton. The “proclamation” and the “repetition of the oath” also appear.

Akhenaten built the city of Ajetaton for the solar deity Aton. He also decided to make this city his religious and political capital. The stelae that I plan and build around the perimeter of the city explain why the city was built, in honor of Aton, and the city design project is also described. It also has representations of Akhenaten and his royal family worshiping Aton.

Sadly, many of the rock-cut stelae that marked Ajetaton’s border limits are now in a sorry state. This is due to a series of events, including natural erosion, the type of rock they were built on, and human damage. Even the stela “P” was blown up in 1906, as they believed it was the door to the treasure chamber. Stela “R” was uprooted indefinitely and the remains would be bought by the Louvre Museum in 1940. Stela “S” in 1984 was badly damaged by attempts by thieves to cut it into pieces until 2004 when it was blown up. and totally destroyed.

The ceremony of “taking possession” of the land could be initially marked by a provisional tablet (L), since the first limits were marked by stelae X and M in year 5 (AK5). In a subsequent visit to the area, Akhenaten ordered the stela M that had suffered damage to be copied. This is how stela K is placed, which bears the date of year 5, month 8 and day 13.

During AK6 (year 6 of Akhenaten’s reign) Stela J and V are sculpted. That same year, Akhenaton marks the western limit of the territory, leaning on Stela J towards the western mantañas, engraving Stela F.

The other two stelae that mark the western limit (A and B) are engraved with the inscription of the year 8, month 4, day 30. That same year the stelae N, P, Q, R, S, and U that have just been finished delimit the horizon of Aton.

Border steles were built as authentic sculptures, in which text and image are represented l real family b garlic Aton protection within a table representing the container upper arch sky solar disk. The texts of the stelae contain promises not to go beyond the limits of the stelae and the royal family.

As data, it has been possible to collect the almost intergoal text of Stela K, a copy of the first Stela M, this being the message: “Year 5, month 8, day 13 Hail good God, who delights in Truth, Lord from the Heavens, from the earth, Aton, the Throbbing, the Great, who illuminates the Two Kingdoms!

Hail Father, divine and royal, Ra-Harotki, who rejoices on the horizon in his aspect Light emanating from the disk of the sun, who lives forever and ever, Aton, the Great, who rejoices in the temple of Aton in Ajetaton!
