Abstract

Ancient Egyptian kings celebrated their military victories as early as the Old Kingdom. This was especially expressed in the art during the New Kingdom. The return of the victorious king from a war, a military battle, or an expedition was a very important theme in the wall scenes inside the ancient Egyptian temples. The research displays the earliest evidence of the victory procession in ancient Egypt, in addition to some scenes from the Early Dynastic Period till the end of the New Kingdom. It also includes an analysis of people who shared in the victory procession, in addition to elements, funerary rites, and the route of the procession.
