IMPORTANT NOTICE: This database is based on the sheet-archive of the Wörterbuch der Ägyptischen Sprache (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften). The WB archive was closed in 1924, which means that all references and information attached to the names date from before that year. It should also be noted that the transcription and the arrangement of the names is not fully identical with Ranke PN. It is therefore highly recommended to check all the data obtained from this database with recent publications.
