Diplomatic relations between the 18th-dynasty Egyptian court and the polities of the Aegean Bronze Age are gaining increasing scholarly attention. The work conducted so far on chronological synchronization has established a relatively firm base for further discussions on social relations. The role of the prestige objects arriving from the Aegean to Egypt has not received the same attention. This is partly because our knowledge of these objects is restricted to Egyptian visual representations in tombs of the officials and not the imported objectsper se. This paper will discuss the transformative capacities of Egyptian decorum in regards to the foreign prestige objects of the Aegean provenance arriving in the Egyptian 18th-dynasty court. We first have to understand the iconographical phenomena of transference, hybridization and creativity in Egyptian visual culture, and only then may we attempt to read any historical reality behind them. These transformative representational processes are crucial for the understanding of the reception and the memory of the Aegean objects.

记忆中的图像：新王国埃及底比斯陵墓中的爱琴海和类似爱琴海的物体

第 18 王朝埃及宫廷与爱琴海青铜时代政体之间的外交关系越来越受到学术界的关注。迄今为止，关于时间同步的工作为进一步讨论社会关系奠定了相对坚实的基础。从爱琴海到达埃及的声望物品的作用并没有受到同样的关注。这部分是因为我们对这些物品的了解仅限于埃及官员墓葬中的视觉表现，而不是进口物品本身. 本文将讨论埃及礼仪对来自爱琴海的外国威望物品到达埃及第 18 朝宫廷的变革能力。我们首先要了解埃及视觉文化中的移情、混合和创造力的图像学现象，然后我们才能尝试阅读它们背后的任何历史现实。这些变革性的表现过程对于理解爱琴海物体的接收和记忆至关重要。
