The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48208-0 — The Archaeology of Egypt in the Third Intermediate Period James Edward Bennett Frontmatter More Information THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF EGYPT IN THE THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIOD The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt (1076–664 bce) has been charac- terised previously by political and social changes based upon the introduc- tion of Libyan social and cultural influences. In this book, James E. Bennett analyses the concepts of ‘transition’ and ‘continuity’ within the cultural and societal environment of Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period and provides an up-to-date synthesis of current research on the settlement archaeology of the period. This is achieved through the assessment of settlement patterns and their development, the built environment of the settlements, and their associated material culture. Through this analysis, Bennett identifies several interconnected themes within the culture and society of the Twenty-First to Twenty-Fifth Dynasties. They are closely related to the political and economic powers of different regions, the nucleation of settlements and people, self-sufficiency at a collective and individual level, defence, both physical and spiritual, regionality in terms of settlement development and material culture, and elite emulation through everyday objects. James E. Bennett is a scholar of Egyptian archaeology. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48208-0 — The Archaeology of Egypt in the Third Intermediate Period James Edward Bennett Frontmatter More Information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48208-0 — The Archaeology of Egypt in the Third Intermediate Period James Edward Bennett Frontmatter More Information THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF EGYPT IN THE THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIOD JAMES E.

  • Pharaoh Chronology (Pdf)
    Egypt's chronology in sync with the Holy Bible by Eve Engelbrite (c)2021, p1 Egypt's Chronology in Synchronization with the Bible This Egyptian chronology is based upon the historically accurate facts in the Holy Bible which are supported by archaeological evidence and challenge many assumptions. A major breakthrough was recognizing Joseph and Moses lived during the reigns of several pharaohs, not just one. During the 18th dynasty in which Joseph and Moses lived, the average reign was about 15 years; and Joseph lived 110 years and Moses lived 120 years. The last third of Moses' life was during the 19th dynasty. Though Rameses II had a reign of 66 years, the average reign of the other pharaohs was only seven years. Biblical chronology is superior to traditional Egyptian chronology Joseph was born in 1745 BC during the reign of Tao II. Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery (1728 BC), which was during the reign of Ahmose I, for the historically accurate amount of 20 pieces of silver.1 Moses (1571-1451 BC) was born 250 years after the death of the Hebrew patriarch, Abraham. Moses lived in Egypt and wrote extensively about his conversations and interactions with the pharaoh of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt; thus providing a primary source. The history of the Hebrews continued to be written by contemporaries for the next thousand years. These books (scrolls) were accurately copied and widely disseminated. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained 2,000 year old copies of every book of the Bible, except Esther, and the high accuracy of these copies to today's copies in original languages is truly astonishing.

    92837_BIOR_2009/5-6_01 17-03-2010 15:30 Pagina 539 559 BOEKBESPREKINGEN — FARAONISCH EGYPTE 560 do this via the relatively new medium of an electronic book (e-book), thus creating the illusion of a ‘virtual workshop’. This review is based on the printed version, however. All the authors were asked to follow the same basic pattern — an explanation in brief of their approach, followed by a discus- sion of three preselected decoration programmes. There was also the option to discuss a fourth tomb of their choice that may better illustrate their approach. The three tombs were chosen because they are well pub- lished and are spread out in time. They are, in chronological order, the chapel of Seshathotep, Giza 5150, the chapel of Kaiemnofret in Saqqara and the chapel of Kaihep Tjeti Iker, el-Hawawish H26. All authors were asked to deal with two main aspects of the decoration — the purpose/sense, and the factual information that can be derived from the decoration. There are a total of 8 articles, presented in alphabetical order, preceded by an introductory article, and all have a brief sum- mary in two languages in the front of the book. Four of the articles are in English, one is in French and three are in Ger- man, as are the Foreword and the introductory article. The contributions by individual authors are preceded by an introductory essay by Martin Fitzenreiter which may be sum- marized as follows. The essay starts with a brief paragraph on what gathering together eight different articles might achieve — we would expect eight similar essays if the authors are all ‘right’, but are those who maintain something different ‘wrong’? Does an approach like this open the door to ‘trivial Egyptology’ and ‘anything goes’? An examination of the meaning of ‘methodology’ and ‘interpretation’ may help answer this dilemma.
