To protect their tombs the Egyptians tried every kind of protection: heavy plates to block the doors, hidden burials, guardians inside the necropolis and, not for the last, the maledictions against the desecrators. Already in the Ancient Reign there are inscriptions in which the dead person appealed to Osiride’s judgement and asked him to avenge him, transforming himself in a predator ready to strike anybody who profaned his tomb and wanted to get his possessions, or anybody who only entered it without being purified first or anybody who ruined his name engraved on the tomb. The maledictions were various and wished aggressions by wild animals, bad luck to the guilty ones and to their ancestors, the loss of their possessions, the destruction of the name, the oblivion of the funeral cult and even that the offers wouldn’t come out from his voice and that he shouldn’t be buried on the mountain. For the crimes against his mummy Senmut demands a punishment with the exclusion from public roles, with a premature death and that his body shouldn’t be buried.
