Summary This study investigates the evolving relationship between historical geography—the actual territorial configuration and administrative organisation of ancient Egypt—and sacred geography, the idealised sacerdotal representation of the land, from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. By examining priestly geographical lists in a diachronic perspective, it identifies the phases and mechanisms that led to the gradual divergence of these two dimensions. Particular attention is given to the New Kingdom, especially the reign of Ramesses II, which marks a pivotal moment in the transformation of territorial representation.
