Abstract
In terms of the grand narrative of Upper Egypt’s expansion into, and unification with, Lower Egypt in the second half of the fourth millennium BC, substantial debate surrounds the processes of state formation. Referring to a recently discovered engraving near Aswan, the author argues that rock art has much to contribute to these discussions. Typological and comparative analyses of the engraving, which is interpreted as a processional boat bearing a seated human figure, are used to suggest that it was created at the dawn of the First Dynasty, thus adding to the limited corpus of political authority expressed in Protodynastic rock art.
