The Achtoy's/Khety's of the 10th dynasty continued as a southern support for the 5th dynasty of Nen-Nesu, but when the 5th dynasty ended, the Asyut 10th dynasty renamed the city Herakleopolis Magna and governed both nomes as the 9th dynasty. 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th, rest of 12th, Nubian 13th, 14th , pre-15th and 16th dynasties with Hyskos (15th) in the SIP Asiatics from Byblos immigrated to the Nile Delta for trade on good terms with the 4th dynasty, so when it ended, the new pre-15th dynasty stepped in to keep trade and government going. The 4th and 12th dynasties requested military aid from Nubians to protect trade. But the 14th dynasty of Nubians began with the Ethiopic War. The Canaanites of the 15th dynasty were the “foreign rulers”(Hyskos) which the Egyptians 17th dynasty warred against. The 16th dynasty were pharoahs south of Thebes governing cities of El-Kab and Edfu. Montuhotep I began the 11th dynasty. Mentuhotep II reunited Egypt.

    EGYPT. THE LAST CENTURIES OF THE EMPIRE (747–332 BCE) S u m m a r y The book “Egypt. The Last Centuries of the Empire (747–332 BCE)” deals with issues related to the political and social history of Egypt in the period between the beginning of the rule of the Kushite pharaohs and Alexander the Great’s conquest of Egypt. The book comprises an introduction, ten chapters, a conclusion, three appen- dices and a bibliography. The introduction leads the reader into relevant issues and remarks on the accepted convention of providing names and a chronological table. Chapter 1 ( The Napatan Dynasty ) discusses the history of the Kushite family reign and the Kushite conquest of Egypt (25 th Dynasty). Chapter 2 ( Regarding God’s Wife of Amun ) focus- es on the rule of successive Napatan rulers (Shebitku, Shabaka), the role of God’s Wife of Amun in the ideology of royal rulers in the Late Period, and also on the 19th-century research conducted by Count Michał Tyszkiewicz in the vicinity of the tombs of God’s Wives and their Kushite courtiers. Chapter 3 ( Assyrians at the Gates ) discusses the reigns of Egypt’s last Kushite pharaohs. Chapter 4 ( The Golden Age ) summarises the first years of the 26 th Dynasty and changes initiated by its founder, Psametik I. In Chapter 5 ( Naucratis and the Sunken City ), there is a discussion of discoveries: Flinders Petrie’s discovery of Naucratis and Franck Goddio’s of Thonis- Heracleion, and also of the history of the 26 th Dynasty rulers (Necho II, Psametik II) and their relations with the Greek world.

  • Nilotic Livestock Transport in Ancient Egypt
    NILOTIC LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT IN ANCIENT EGYPT A Thesis by MEGAN CHRISTINE HAGSETH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Shelley Wachsmann Committee Members, Deborah Carlson Kevin Glowacki Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2015 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2015 Megan Christine Hagseth ABSTRACT Cattle in ancient Egypt were a measure of wealth and prestige, and as such figured prominently in tomb art, inscriptions, and even literature. Elite titles and roles such as “Overseer of Cattle” were granted to high ranking officials or nobility during the New Kingdom, and large numbers of cattle were collected as tribute throughout the Pharaonic period. The movement of these animals along the Nile, whether for secular or sacred reasons, required the development of specialized vessels. The cattle ferries of ancient Egypt provide a unique opportunity to understand facets of the Egyptian maritime community. A comparison of cattle barges with other Egyptian ship types from these same periods leads to a better understand how these vessels fit into the larger maritime paradigm, and also serves to test the plausibility of aspects such as vessel size and design, composition of crew, and lading strategies. Examples of cargo vessels similar to the cattle barge have been found and excavated, such as ships from Thonis-Heracleion, Ayn Sukhna, Alexandria, and Mersa/Wadi Gawasis. This type of cross analysis allows for the tentative reconstruction of a vessel type which has not been identified previously in the archaeological record.

  • An Analysis of Egypt's Foreign Policy During the Saite Period
    AN ANALYSIS OF EGYPT'S FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE SAITE PERIOD by JULIEN BOAST A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MPHIL(B) in EGYPTOLOGY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham September 2006 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study consists of an analysis of Egyptian foreign policy during the Saite period (including the reign of Necho I), and also briefly examines the actions of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty in order to establish the correct context. Despite the large gaps in the historical record during this period, judicious use of sources from a number of different cultures allows the historian to attempt to reconstruct the actions of the time, and to discuss possible motivations for them, seeking to identify concerns linking the foreign policy of all the Saite kings. Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank the Arts and Humanities Research Council, whose support has been vital in the undertaking of this study. I would also like to thank Dr.

  • Who Succeeded Xerxes on the Throne of Persia?
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 12/1 (Spring 2001): 83Ð88. Article copyright © 2001 by William H. Shea. Who Succeeded Xerxes on the Throne of Persia? William H. Shea A standard interpretation of ancient Persian history in the mid-5th century B.C. is that Artaxerxes I followed his father on the throne after Xerxes was murdered. This interpretation has been developed from the classical writers, the king lists, and the datelines on contract tables from Babylonia which follow this order. Since there is a late Hellenistic astronomical text which dates the murder of Xerxes in the fifth Persian-Babylonian month, or August, the transition be- tween these two kings has been dated in the summer of 465 B.C., about forty days before the Jewish New Year of 1 Tishri. If the Jews, like Ezra, used a fall- to-fall calendar and accession year reckoning, those forty days would have served as ArtaxerxesÕ accession period or Year 0, and his first full year of reign would have begun on 1 Tishri in 465 B.C. That would also make his seventh year extend from the fall of 459 to the fall of 458, not from the fall of 458 to the fall of 457, as Adventist interpreters have held. But this problem is complicated by two factors. First, there was the politi- cal turmoil after the murder of Xerxes. Second, there is the lack of any sources dated to Artaxerxes in the last half of 465 B.C. The Artaxerxes sources can be reviewed as follows: 1. Persian sources.

  • Insights Into a Translucent Name Bead*
    INSIGHTS INTO A TRANSLUCENT NAME BEAD* [PLANCHES XIII-XIV] BY PETER PAMMINGER Institut für Ägyptologie der Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Saarstr. 21 (Campus) D-55099 MAINZ Recently, while visiting a private collection in Belgium, I became aware of a rock- crystal bead of quite distinctive qualities, which might once have belonged to the royal entourage of the 25th dynasty King Piye. The object was acquired not long ago on the art market, unfortunately without any proof of provenance. Its owner was kind enough to grant me permission to publish it. The bead itself (diameter 1.8 to 2.5 cm) has been drilled through (the hole 1.0 to 1.1 cm wide), embodying a sheet of gold in its core. One side of the surface being decorated with a raised cartouche bearing the inscription Mn-Ìpr-R{, the opposite side depicting a vulture1 who is carrying in each claw a symbol of {nÌ. Inbetween these two motives are situated two raised circular dots, each obviously representing a sun-disc (fig. + pl. XIII). * Abbreviations generally in accordance with Helck, W. und W.

  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised.
