Resumen
Abstract: The temple of Karnak was the recipient of a vast amount of figural and textual graffiti, mainly dated from the New Kingdom onwards. Here I shall revisit the graffiti on the Second Stela of Kamose, a portable royal
monument the king ordered to be set up in the temple in a nowadays unknown location. His aim was to
record his victories over the Hyksos and celebrate the glory of the main god of the temple, Amun. The two
figural graffiti incised on the stela’s surfaces are proof of how people perceived, experienced and interacted
with the monument through time.
