Tony Harlow said: "This is an exciting new phase for WMUK. Isabel’s appointment signals our constant evolution, bringing her widely admired creativity, innovation and technological entrepreneurship to the service of our artists and their visions. Jen has been with us for over 14 years and has grown into one of the most exceptional and influential voices at WMUK and one of our best marketeers. She supervised four No.1 albums last year alone. Under her leadership, Parlophone’s employees will be dedicated to signing and developing the next generation of outstanding talent." Like his predecessors, king Den was buried in Abydos in an area we know today as Umm el-Qaab. His tomb is known as "Tomb T". And in line with his whole reign, new innovations were used in the building of his tomb as well. Before this a tomb was filled from above; the tomb was a "hole in the ground" and once the deceased had been lowered to his/ her tomb, it was covered. Effective May 9, Isabel Garvey– most recently MD of Universal Music’s Abbey Road Studios – will take up the newly created post of chief operating officer, Warner Music UK, reporting to Harlow.

The royal scene is thematically relevant, since sandals from later periods are sometimes painted with figures of enemies, so that the wearer would trample on them with every step. For references to the incised picture of a pair of sandals, see P. Kaplony, 'Die Inschriften der Ägyptischen Frühzeit I (Wiesbaden, 1963), 341; P. Kaplony, 'Die Inschriften der Ägyptischen Frühzeit II (Wiesbaden, 1964), 986, n. 1556; P. E. Newberry, 'Journal of Egyptian Archaeology' 14 (1928), 110, fig. 3. In addition to these references, the label has been discussed in R. Weill, ‘Recherches sur la première dynastie et les temps prépharaoniques’ I (Cairo, 1961), 15-17; R. Weill, ‘Recherches sur la première dynastie et les temps prépharaoniques’ II, 90-1; K. Sethe, 'Untersuchungen' III, 64. One specific grave good of the First Dynasty is the solar barque. Twelve of these boats have been unearthed and excavated at Abydos, while others are known from Saqqara and Helwan (a necropolis of Memphis and a suburb of modern Cairo). The ancient Egyptians believed that this was the vessel by which the sun god Ra traveled through the heavenly sea of the goddess Nun. Every night, he would pass through twelve ports (one representing each hour of the night), defeat the snake Apophis, and eventually rise as the sun the next morning. The Egyptians also believed that the pharaoh, once deceased, would embark on the sun god’s boat and join this journey through the Underworld, encountering various challenges along the way before the weighing of the heart.

We know some of king Den's queens by name: Nakht-Neith, Semat, and perhaps Qua-Neith. One queen is buried in Giza in a tomb that was actually larger than Den's own, but we do not know her name. This is an interesting trend of the times - women having as big or even bigger tombs than the pharaohs. The fragments of the Palermo stone tell us a lot about the events of Den's reign: building projects, hunting trips, smiting of foreign people, making of statues, royal visits, building of canals ("He who brings water"). These exact years of these activities are clearly marked, and the last note is from the regnal year 41. Garvey has joined WMUK from Abbey Road Studios, where she was appointed MD in 2014. During her tenure she expanded both the studio footprint and the brand, launching digital production services and establishing Europe's first incubator for music tech innovation. B. Porter & R.

The figure holding a mace on this hippopotamus ivory label is King Den. He was a member of the first dynasty of rulers that united Egypt into a single state. This label was attached to one of Den's sandals and placed in his tomb when he died. In front of Den a much smaller enemy cowers. Hieroglyphs on the label celebrate, 'the first occasion of smiting the east'. They refer to King Den's military conquests in Sinai, eastern Egypt. Like his predecessors, Den also had subsidiary burials around his tomb - 136 in all, both men and women. They were buried at the same time as the king, and the were probably strangled. An interesting detail was the stela of a dwarf named Ser-Inpu - dwarfs were highly valued in ancient Egypt, and a wnted addition to a king's court. There will also be a leadership change at Parlophone Records, with Jennifer Ivory, currently, SVP, Warner Records UK, taking over as managing director.The reign of king Den was a prosperous one and he was well respected by his successors. There are different versions about the length of his reign. Manetho gave him 20 years of the throne, but the more believable Palermo Stone (which was created much closer to Den's time) gave him a reign of 42 years.
