Review

The proposed article, "Sesostris, eine kulturelle Hieroglyphe," presents a compelling and intellectually stimulating title that immediately piques interest within the fields of ancient history, cultural studies, and Egyptology. The concept of Sesostris as a 'cultural hieroglyph' suggests an exploration beyond mere historical chronology, delving into his symbolic resonance and interpretive layers across different eras. Regrettably, the absence of an abstract significantly limits the ability to provide a detailed assessment of the paper's scope, methodology, or specific arguments. However, the title alone indicates a rich topic ripe for interdisciplinary analysis. Based solely on the title, one anticipates a nuanced investigation into how the figure of Sesostris – whether as a historical pharaoh (likely Senusret III) or as a legendary composite figure in classical and later traditions – has been received, reinterpreted, and utilized as a cultural symbol throughout history. This could encompass an examination of his portrayal in classical antiquity (e.g., Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus), his role in later European thought as an archetypal conqueror or lawgiver, or even his presence in modern cultural discourse. The notion of a 'hieroglyph' further implies an analysis of how Sesostris encapsulates or represents deeper cultural meanings, power structures, or societal ideals, inviting a semiotic or hermeneutic approach to his historical and mythical iterations. Such a study would ideally offer fresh perspectives on the construction of historical memory and the enduring power of ancient figures. While the full impact of this paper cannot be judged without access to its complete content, the promise inherent in its title is substantial. A well-executed exploration of Sesostris as a 'cultural hieroglyph' could significantly contribute to our understanding of the reception of ancient Egypt, the mechanics of myth-making, and the ways in which historical figures transcend their original contexts to become enduring symbols. For a thorough evaluation, an abstract detailing the specific research questions, theoretical framework, and primary sources employed would be indispensable, allowing potential readers to ascertain the paper's scholarly rigor and its precise contribution to the existing literature. As it stands, the title alone invites anticipation for a potentially insightful and broad-ranging inquiry.
