| Summary: | The stela of the Nubean king, Piye, describes his victory against a coalition of Delta princes, and his ascension to the Egyptian throne. The inscription informs us that, except for king Namart, no northern and southern rulers could enter the Egyptian palace because they were uncircumcised and were eaters of fish. The Author discusses the relation between circumcision and forbidden foods in ancient Egypt and in the Israelite religion. La stèle de Piye, le roi nubien, décrit sa victoire contre une coalition des principautés du Delta et son ascension au trône égyptien. L'inscription nous informe que, à l'exception du roi Namart, les monarques du nord et du sud ne pouvaient pas entrer dans le palais égyptien parce qu'ils n'étaient pas circoncis et parce qu'ils mangeaient des poissons. L'auteur discute la relation entre la circoncision et les aliments interdits en Égypte antique et dans la religion Israélite. |
