Inhaltszusammenfassung

This paper discusses the use of visible-induced infrared luminescence of Egyptian blue in Egyptology and describes the approach used by the author in a photographic survey of ten Theban tombs. A short scene caption discovered in TT 239 by this method identifies the leaders of tribute bringers in this tomb as the “great ones” of Hatti and of “wretched Mitanni.” The tribute scene in TT 239 is briefly compared to other similar scenes in Eighteenth Dynasty private tombs before the Amarna period.
