KONGERÆKKEN Ånder, Guder & Faraoner Erik Ansvang 1 KONGERÆKKEN Ånder, Guder & Faraoner Erik Ansvang www.visdomsnettet.dk 2 KONGERÆKKEN Ånder, Guder & Faraoner “Guderne vandrede på Jorden” De egyptiske legender fortæller om en fjern fortid, hvor “guderne vandrede på Jor- den”. Åndsvidenskaben oplyser, at de gamle egyptere her fortæller om en tid, hvor mestrene − højt åndeligt udviklede mennesker − var fysisk til stede blandt men- nesker, og at det var deres víse ledelse, der løftede Egyptens kultur og civilisation til imponerende højder. Disse visdommens mestre var mennesker, der var nået så langt i deres udvikling, at de havde frigjort sig fra reinkarnationens nødvendighed. De var frivilligt til stede i den fysiske verden, og de var ikke tvunget til at dø og forlade det fysiske legeme efter et kort fysisk liv, men de var i stand til at bevare deres legemer i årtusinder, for en mester mestrer stoffet i kraft af sin bevidsthed. Kongelisten fra Ny Rige Egyptologerne afviser næsten instinktivt disse hypoteser, men i Torino-museet findes faktisk en kongeliste fra Ny Rige skrevet på papyrus, som bekræfter ånds- videnskabens oplysning. Oprindeligt var der opført omkring 300 kongenavne på denne kongeliste, og målet for den, der har samlet navnene på listen, er tydeligvis fuldkommenhed. Tilsyneladende er ingen konge udeladt − ikke engang de mindst vigtige. Selv de palæstinensiske konger, der på et tidspunkt dannede Hyksos- dynastiet, er inkluderet, på trods af at de i virkeligheden ikke fortjente at have deres navne nævnt i dette selskab. De blev givetvis taget med af hensyn til målet: Fuldstændighed. Ved hver konge er den nøjagtige regeringsperiode noteret − nogle gange på det nøjagtige antal dage. 3 Ånder, guder og faraoner I dag regner egyptologerne med, at den første egyptiske konge var Menes, men umiddelbart før Menes er der adskillige linjer, som opsummerer kollektive dyna- stier af “ånder”. “Ånderne” har ikke individuelle navne − og før dem er der igen en gruppe “guder”. “Guderne” har alle et navn, og hvert navn er skrevet ind i en navnekartouche på samme måde som kongernes, og ved hver enkelt er regeringsperiodens nøjagtige længde omhyggeligt noteret. Eksempelvis vises visdomsguden Tehuti (grækerne kaldte ham Thoth) som konge, og den præcise længde på Tehutis regering er angivet til 7.726 år. Der er selvfølgelig ikke tale om guder i nutidens forstand, men om guddommeliggjorte mennesker − dvs. mestre. Papyrusteksten er dermed en bekræftelse på de åndsvidenskabelige informationer, og den dokumenterer egypternes oplysning om, at “guderne vandrede på Jorden”. På grund af Egyptens meget lange historie er rækken af faraoner og konger usæd- vanlig lang. 4 KONGELISTEN Egyptens faraoner Tidlige dynastier 1. dynasti (2920-2770) Egyptologerne ved meget lidt om faraonerne fra de tidligste dynastier. Til gengæld hører deres monumenter til de bedst undersøgte kunstværker i verden. • Menes (Aha) • Djer • Wadj • Den (Udimu) • Anendjib • Semerkhet • Kaa 2. dynasti (2770-2650) • Hetepsekhemwy • Reneb • Ninetjer • Peribsen • Khasekhemwy Menes 5 Gamle Rige Egyptologerne kalder denne periode for “pyramidealderen”. Man gætter nemlig på, at pyramiderne ved Giza og Dashur blev bygget som gravmonumenter i denne periode, men åndsvidenskaben påstår, at pyramiderne er langt ældre, og at de blev benyttet til indvielser. 3. dynasti • Sanakhte (Nebka) 2650-2630 • Netjerykhet (Djoser) 2630-2611 • Sekhemkhet (Djoser Teti) 2611-2603 • Khaba 2603-2599 • Huni 2599-2575 4. dynasti • Snofru 2575-2551 • Khufu (Cheops) 2551-2528 • Radjedef 2528-2520 • Khafra (Chephren) 2520-2494 • Menkaura (Mycerinus) 2490-2472 • Shepseskaf 2472-2467 5. dynasti • Userkaf 2465-2458 • Sahure 2458-2446 • Neferirkare Kakai 2446-2426 • Shepseskare Ini 2426-2419 • Raneferef 2419-2416 • Niuserre Izi 2416-2392 • Menkauhor 2396-2388 • Djedkare Izezi 2388-2356 Khafra • Wenis 2356-2323 6 6. dynasti • Teti 2323-2291 • Pepi I (Meryre) 2289-2255 • Merenre Nemtyemzaf 2255-2246 • Pepi II (Neferkare) 2246-2152 Teti-pyramidens sarkofagrum med pyramidetekster 7 Mellemste Rige Denne periode var kendetegnet af omfattende handel med udlandet og enorme byggeprojekter (billedet: Rekonstruktion af Mentuhoteps tempel i Theben). Smykke- fremstillingen blev forædlet. Voksende velstand og stadig fornyelse stod på i en lang periode − men muligvis begyndte interne problemer at vise sig i Mellemste Rige. 11. dynasti • Mentuhotep II (Nebhepetre) 1986-1956 • Mentuhotep III (Sankhkare) 1956-1944 • Mentuhotep IV (Nebtawyre) 1944-1937 12. dynasti • Amenemhet I (Sehetepibre) 1937-1908 • Senwosret I (Kheperkare) 1917-1872 • Amenemhet II (Nubkaure) 1875-1840 • Senwosret II (Khakheperre) 1842-1836 • Senwosret III (Khakaure) 1836-1817 • Amenemhet III (Nimaatre) 1817-1772 • Amenemhet IV (Maakherure) 1772-1763 • Neferusobek (Sobekkare) 1763-1759 Mentuhotep II 8 Anden Mellemtid Hyksos-konger fra Palæstina invaderer og erobrer Egypten. Det var sandsynligvis Egyptens thebanske prinser, der genvandt magten, og det var Kamose, der ned- kæmpede Hyksos-kongerne. 13. dynasti 21 faraoner i 63 år og herefter ... • Neferhotep I 1696-1686 • Sihathor 1685-1685 • Sobekhotep IV 1685-1678 • Sobekhotep V 1678-1674 • Iaib 1674-1664 • Ay 1664-1641 • 9 faraoner i cirka 20 år 14. dynasti 15. dynasti • Salitis • Bnon • Apachnan (Khian) • Apophis (Auserre Apepi) • Khamudi 16. dynasti 17. dynasti • Tao I (Senakhtenre) • Tao II (Sekenenre) • Kamose (Wadjkheperre) Neferhotep I 9 Ny Rige Ekstrem velstand og fornyelse inden for kunst og byggeprojekter markerer begyn- delsen af denne periode. Ved slutningen af 19. dynasti undergraver det korrupte præsteskabs tiltagende magt landets ledelse. Det 20. dynastis grave blev plyndret. Præsteskab blev gjort arveligt, og præsterne begyndte at overtage magten. Landets ledelse brød til sidst sammen. 18. dynasti • Ahmose (Nebpehtyre) 1539-1514 • Amenhotep I (Djeserkare) 1514-1493 • Tutmosis I (Akheperkare) 1493-1481 • Tutmosis II (Akheperenre) 1481-1479 • Hatshepsut (Maatkare) 1473-1458 • Tutmosis III (Menkheperre) 1479-1425 • Amenhotep II (Akheperure) 1427-1392 • Tutmosis IV (Menkheperure) 1392-1382 • Amenhotep III (Nebmaatre) 1382-1344 • Amenhotep IV / Akhenaton 1352-1336 • Neferneferuaten 1341-1337 • Smenkhkare (Ankhkheperure) 1337-1336 • Tutankhamun (Nebkheperure) 1336-1327 • Ay (Kheperkheperure) 1327-1323 Hatshepsut • Horemheb (Djeserkheperure) 1323-1295 10 19. dynasti • Ramses I (Menpehtyre) 1295-1294 • Seti I (Menmaatre) 1394-1279 • Ramses II (Usermaatresetepenre) 1279-1213 • Merenptah (Baenrehotephirmaat) 1213-1203 • Amenmesse (Menmire) 1203-1200 • Seti II (Userkheperuresetepenre) 1200-1194 • Siptah (Akhenresetepenre) 1194-1188 • Tausert (Sitremeritamun) 1188-1186 20. dynasti • Setakht (Userkhauremeryamun) 1186-1184 • Ramses III (Usermaatremeryamun) 1184-1153 • Ramses IV (Hekamaatresetepenamun) 1153-1147 • Ramses V (Usermaatresekheperenre) 1147-1143 • Ramses VI (Nebmaatremeryamun) 1143-1136 • Ramses VII (Usermaatresetepenre) 1136-1129 • Ramses VIII (Usermaatreakhenamun) 1129-1126 • Ramses IX (Neferkaresetepenre) 1126-1108 • Ramses X (Khepermaatresetepenre) 1108-1099 • Ramses XI (Menmaatresetepenptah) 1099-1069 Ramses II 11 Tredje Mellemtid Hovedstaden flyttes fra Tanis til Libyen − og til Nubien − og til Theben (nutidens Luxor) − og til Sais − og herefter tilbage til Nubien og Theben. 21. dynasti • Smedes 1070-1044 • Amenemnisu 1040 • Psusennes I 1040-992 • Amenope 993-984 • Osochor 984-978 • Siamun 978-959 • Psusennes II 959-945 22. dynasti • Shoshenq I 945-924 • Osorkon I 924-909 • Takelot 909--? • Shoshenq II ?--883 • Osorkon II 883-855 • Takelot II 860-835 • Shoshenq III 835-783 • Pami 783-773 • Shoshenq IV 773-735 • Osorkon IV 735-712 23. dynasti • Pedubaste I 828-803 • Osorkon IV 777-749 • Peftjauwybast 740-725 Osorkon 24. dynasti • Shepsesre Tefnakht I 725-720 • Wahkare Bakenranef 720-715 12 Sentiden Nubien falder under en invasion fra Assyrien.

KITCHEN, B.A. Egypt and the Bible: Some Recent Advances Introductory Ever since the dramatic resurrection of the long-derelict remains of the brilliant civilisations of Egypt and Mesopotamia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, there has been a steady flow of studies that have sought to exploit our increasing knowledge of Ancient Egypt in order the better to interpret and evaluate the Biblical references to Egypt and matters Egyptian. Though interest in the general subject of Egypt and the Bible has never died, there has been no major work in this field since before the late war. Professional Egyptologists with plenty of other highly urgent tasks on their hands have largely been disinclined to involve themselves in the controversies with which Biblical studies abound and to spend time on a subject which could contribute but little to Egyptology itself. However, a steady stream of papers on a wide variety of particular points has never failed, 1 and some Egyptologists are once more begin­ ning to devote attention to this field. 2 This paper offers a selection-emphatically and necessarily a very modest and uneven selection-of material bearing on Egypt and the Bible. Two classes of matter are here drawn upon. On the one hand, 1 For bibliography of pre-war studies to 1941, see I. A.

  • Before the Assyrian Conquest in 671 BCE: Relations Between Egypt, Kush and Assyria
    Before the Assyrian Conquest in 671 B.C.E.: Relations between Egypt, Kush and Assyria* Silvie Zamazalová INTRODUCTION In 701 B.C.E., the Neo-Assyrian king Sennacherib (r. 704–681 B.C.E.) fought a battle against an anti-Assyrian coalition of Philistine city-states1 and their allies at Eltekeh, probably located north of the city of Ashdod (Kitchen 19862: 385 n. 815). The coalition was supported by Egyptian and Kushite forces, dispatched by the Kushite ruler Shebitku as a response to Philistia’s plea for help. An inscription of Sennacherib describes the encounter as follows: “They (i.e. Ekron and its allies) got help from the kings of Egypt, troops, archers, chariots and cavalry of the king of Nubia, a force without number... In the vicinity of Eltekeh, battle lines were drawn in front of me... With the help of Aššur, my lord, I fought with them and brought about their defeat. The charioteers and princes of Egypt, together with the charioteers of the king of Nubia, my hands took alive in the midst of battle...” (Melville 2006: 346) While the exact nature of the battle’s outcome is a matter of debate,2 it marked an important watershed in the relations between Assyria and Egypt/Kush. Egypt- ian involvement in Philistine affairs was not without precedent, but Shebitku’s open and unambiguous opposition to Assyria was new, as was as his ability to subjugate the Delta chieftains (the “kings of Egypt” referred to by Sennacherib) and thus create a relatively united political front (Redford 2004: 91). The confronta- tion at Eltekeh signalled openly hostile relations (Kitchen 19862: 155, §126) which would eventually culminate in Egypt’s conquest, and temporary integration into Assyria’s impressive empire, by Sennacherib’s successor Esarhaddon (r.

  • EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt. 1600–800, 305-30 BC Great Pyramid, Egypt 1 INTRODUCTION “Egypt is a gift from Nile” was the first we learned in grade school about Egypt. In genealogy, we can well claim that Egypt has given us the gift of the earliest ancestral history thanks to its hieroglyphs and other sources now readily available via Internet. There are several sources connecting us to Egyptian ancestors but I have here picked one, listed first, “Byzantine Emperors”, which ties together several of our other ancestral lineages, which I have described in other books. This one lists our ancestors from a most recent (generation 1) to the earliest (generation 87). This sequence is different from most computer genealogy reports which list the lineages from to earliest person to the present. Besides the information in this list, I have gone further back in time using Wikipedia and some other Internet sources. In my lineage list, shown next, I have those of our ancestors highlighted, for which additional information has been provided in the main text. This list ends with Neithiyti Princess of Egypt (81st great grandmother). She was married to Cyrus II the Great King of Persia, our ancestor listed in the Persian Royal Ancestry. Another list is included and ends with the famous Cleopatra and the end of the Egyptian empire as it then became part of the Roman Empire as shown in Roman Early Ancestry. This time period is included in the 1945 novel by Mika Waltari, titled The Egyptian, which is set during the reign of 18th dynasty pharaoh Akhenaten.

  • Late-Egyptian Chronology and the Hebrew Monarchy Critical Studies in Old Testament Mythology, I K
    Late-Egyptian Chronology and the Hebrew Monarchy Critical Studies in Old Testament Mythology, I K. A. KITCHEN University of Liverpool In modern times, but at varying intervals, much scholarly attention has been devoted to the respective chronologies of Late-Period Egypt and the Hebrew Monarchy. A salient feature is that Kings and Chronicles contain a running series of datelines and data from which modern scholars can derive a chronology of the Hebrew Monarchy which, today, varies only within quite narrow limits1 -while from roughly 110011070 B.C., Late-Period Egypt before the Saites (that is, to 664 B.C.) appears, in contrast, as a period of obscurity, even confusion, with rival lines of little-known kings and seemingly very uncertain dates. However, by patiently collect­ ing, sifting, and setting in order not merely a handful of regnal dates from the monuments and Manetho, liberally sprinkled with conjecture, but a whole range of evidence (regnal dates; Manetho; genealogies of officials; Apis-bulls; changes in dating; etc.), it is possible to bring relatively close and coherent order into the entire epoch, and even to set quite narrow limits for the dates of its kings (21st to 25th Dynasties), the contemporaries of the Hebrew Monarchy. This task, the writer has attempted in some detail elsewhere;2 but it may be of service here to set out clearly and separately for biblical scholars some salient aspects having especial reference to Old Testament history that are even yet not properly grasped, despite warnings on the subject. [n particular, Old Testament scholars are sometimes prone to elevating theories into dogmas, and, even after conrrary facts have been made plain, are loth to give up their cherished idols and associated mythologies.

  • A 4000–Year Old Descent from Antiquity: from the 12Th Egyptian Dynasty to the Capetians and Beyond
    A 4000–Year Old Descent from Antiquity: From the 12th Egyptian Dynasty to the Capetians and Beyond. Compiled by F. A. Doria from postings to soc.medieval.gen, 1995–1998 Analysis of the descent by Chris Bennett Comments and discussion by C. Settipani and N. Taylor May 2001 1 The descent The line goes as follows:1 1From an early 2000 post to the gen–med list by Chris Bennett: “I have recently come across an article which may be of interest (R. C. Steiner, “Bitte–Ya, daughter of Pharaoh, and Bint(i)–’Anat daughter of Ramses II,” Biblica 79:3 (1998) 394—Biblica is now available online at http://www.bsw.org/project/biblica/index.htm, but this particular article is the only article omitted from the 1998 online collection). Steiner discusses a certain Bithiah, daughter of pharaoh, mentioned as the wife of Mered in a collection of genealogies of the tribe of Judah. He argues that the name Bithiah disguises an original “Bint–Anath,” known as a daughter of Ramses II. Noting that the ancestor of the line discussed, Ezra, is in some way a relative of Caleb, who was a companion of Joshua, and that Mered’s grandsons were named as founders of the cities of Gedor, Socor and Zanoah, he argues that Mered must be dated to the 12/11th centuries BC. On this basis, he suggests that Bithiah was a D20 (20th Dynasty) princess Bint–Anath, perhaps a [grand]daughter of Ramses III. FWIW there is at least one known case of an Egyptian princess, Nebetia daughter of the king’s son SiAtum, who was almost certainly a king’s granddaughter (likely, of Amenhotep III), bearing the title s3t nsw—“king’s daughter”—probably indicating that she was born in the lifetime of her grandfather.

    CLEOPATRAS MOON PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Vicky Alvear Shecter | 355 pages | 01 Jan 2013 | Scholastic US | 9780545221313 | English | New York, NY, United States Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter To ascertain love peacefully, birth children, and wish for proper acknowledgement. Cleopatra got close with two men in her lifetime. First, Caesar. Towards him, she clearly fell in love. The state of their affections and passions made even the wind fluttering in the Mediterranean Sea appear to be sparkling. But he died. Although the unification of the Mediterranean World was right before his very eyes, he was assassinated. He left their son Caesarion. And then, there was a person who appeared before Cleopatra while she was lost in tears. Her country and people, and two men—— the lovely Antonius and Caesar of Rome; in the end, she committed suicide. She got close to two men, and died. Cleopatra was in love. It was the result of her feelings. Was this something like the product of her self-interest? A figure who is endowed with sincerity inside and who believes in having no regrets dying together, only this partner similar to the men she loved before can, utterly, seduce her. However, Caesarion was only aged nine during the time he lost his life. Cleopatra's words, deeds and actions are all together unprecedented for a queen. Dashingly, a top lady who lives on coolness. With her utmost nice nature, there are also traits from her that are seen as foolish because of her speeches and conducts further exaggerating it. Recognizing nothing but heavenly beauty.

  • An Alternate Chronology for the Near East During the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, and Its Consequences Fo
    Aspects of Ancient Near Eastern Chronology (c. 1600 – 700 BC) Pierce James Furlong Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Centre for Classics and Archaeology The University of Melbourne © Pierce J Furlong, 2007 Abstract There can be no more important topic in historical studies than chronology, for it is chronology which gives meaning to history by placing individuals, events and material remains within their true sequence. If this sequence does not match historical actuality, then, the historical narrative drawn from the available evidence may appear confused, incomplete or even contradictory. The history of the Near East is bound together by an accurate and continuous absolute chronology which stretches back to the early first millennium BC. However, beyond that point in time we are forced to rely upon relative chronologies for the histories of the Great Kingdoms of Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria and Hatti, amongst others. Scholars have pieced together these relative chronologies over the last one-two centuries using information from King-lists, royal annals and administrative documents. The end result of this major enterprise is, today, what can best be described as an extremely complex but little understood jigsaw puzzle composed of a multiplicity of loosely connected data. Moreover, many of the pieces of this puzzle are missing. For example, while the relative chronology of the Egyptian New Kingdom (18th-20th Dynasties) is fairly well established, it is separated from the absolute chronology of the 7th century BC Saite Dynasty by the chronologically indeterminate and confused Third Intermediate Period (21st-25th Dynasties).

PAGE 1 The Wisdom of the Egyptians by Brian Brown OSIRIS KHENTI AMENTI, the Great God, seated in his shrine of fire. In front of Osiris is the Eye of Horus and behind him stand the Godesses ISIS and NEPHTHYS. From the Papyrus of Hunefer in the British Museum Introduction IN ancient times the land that is now called Egypt was called by the people, then inhabiting that part of Africa, "Kam," a word that means "black" or "dark-colored" and referred to the dark color of the muddy soil in their land. To the Hebrews this PAGE 2 The Wisdom of the Egyptians by Brian Brown name was known as "Khám" or "Ham" and in the Bible the Egyptians are referred to as "Sons of Ham" or "Children of Ham." These people had a God called "Ptah" to whom they raised a temple – the temple was called "He-Ka-ptah" or House of "Ka" – of "Ptah." This name, that was in the beginning confined to "Memphis," gradually spread to other parts of the Nile Valley, and by degrees the whole country became known as "HeKapath," to other people with whom these people had contact.
