- Auteur: Graciela Gestoso Singer, CEHAO, Universidad Catolica Argentina. Résumé: "Transplanting trees from the peripheries to the center was a known leitmotiv in the Ancient Near East. Gardens served as a symbol of life, fertility, prosperity, change and power, and represented the integration of an "ideological" or a "geographical" expansion in Antiquity. The garden of Hatshepsut was a microcosm, which incorporated trees from Punt, symbolizing the ideological control of an "unknown" remote land, and the concrete elimination of "intermediaries" and "payments" to obtain these exotic goods. ". Cet article est paru dans les Cahiers Caribéens d'Egyptologie n°15, 2011.
