Sumario:[EN] The oldest Egyptian cryptographic hymns are located in the courtyard of the tomb of Djehuty (TT 11). The present study analyzes their contents, currently under study by the Spanish mission working at Dra Abu el-Naga (TT 11), and particularly their functions and contexts within the tomb and in the elite cultural circles where they were composed during the joint reign of Thutmoses III-Hatshepsut. Their themes and forms of expression indicate that these hymns were closely related to their contemporary Zeitgeist –marked by a balance between archaizing and innovative trends– and the reflection, by means of personal originality and wit, of the intellectual capacities of the tomb owner.
