During the last years the study of the vast documental corpora dating from the 21st Dynasty has greatly increased, especially focused on museum's collections, both in Egypt and around the world. A wealth of new information on the material culture from the 21st Dynasty has also been uncovered in the archaeological sites themselves. The Second Gate of the Priests Conference aims at highlighting the results of these studies with a view to understand the religious and sociopolitical changes of the period.
