(Ägyptologische Abhandlungen 57) Ver- lag Otto Harrassowitz, Wiesbaden, 1996. (30 cm, XI, 182, IV Pl.). ISBN 3-447-03873-X). / 36,-. Every egyptologist, scholar or student, who studies private monuments will be confronted sooner or later with the longer or shorter lists of feast names included in funerary texts. Occurring from the Old Kingdom to the end of the Saite Period, the author has set himself the task to “compile a rather complete survey…concentrated upon the chronologi- cal ramifications of the material…[and] the provision of a skeleton for further research.” (p. ix). Because of the amount and complexity of the material the book is composed as six independently readable chapters — however, linked with many cross-references, (partial) summaries and some repeti- tion — dealing with the data in an unhistorical order: Mid- dle Kingdom (ch. II), New Kingdom (ch. III), The Post-Impe- rial Era, i.e. Third Intermediate-Saite Periods (ch. IV), From the First Intermediate Period to the Middle Kingdom (ch. V), and The Old Kingdom (ch. VI), followed by a Summary (ch. VII). In the first chapter, “Feast names, an Introduction”, tak- ing the Medinet Habu calendar of Ramses III as the basic starting point for the analysis of Egyptian feasts, the latter’s main division of feasts in Ìbw nw pt/tp trw is contrasted with the main division in New Kingdom private lists in Ìbw nw pt/Ìbw nw t. The main issues, thoroughly and convincingly discussed, concern the fact that the Ìbw nw pt do not refer exclusively to celestial phenomena, since the heliacal rising of Sothis figures among the tp trw; that the combination of tp trw evolved from its original meaning “beginning of sea- sons” (Old Kingdom) to a Fachwort for “annual event” (without Ìb-sign) and “annual feast” (with the sign) in the New Kingdom (temp. Thutmosis III); that the alleged con- nection of the t-feasts with the civil calendar and the pt- feasts with the lunar is non-existent, and that this dichotomy 487 BOEKBESPREKINGEN — FARAONISCH EGYPTE 488 in pt/t-feasts is completely absent from the Old Kingdom pri- and, besides the obvious archaistic elements, such a great vate lists, originating in the Middle Kingdom; that the pt-feasts diversity/individuality that overemphasis of the period’s are entirely absent from the Graeco-Roman temple lists which “archaism” results in an underestimation of the era’s origi- have a definite Sitz im Leben of their own.

  • Communication with the Divine in Ancient Egypt: Hearing Deities, Intermediary Statues and Sistrophores
    COMMUNICATION WITH THE DIVINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT: HEARING DEITIES, INTERMEDIARY STATUES AND SISTROPHORES by ELEANOR BETH SIMMANCE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the desire for contact with deities in Egypt, the artistic and textual expression of which can be viewed as characteristic of ‘personal piety’. The attribution of hearing abilities to deities through epithets and phrases is evocative of human attempts to communicate with the divine sphere, and the Egyptian evidence is presented. A case study of so-called ‘intermediary statues’, which claim to facilitate communication between human and god, offers an opportunity to investigate how some members of the elite adapted their artistic output to take advantage of popular beliefs, furthering their own commemoration. Sistrophorous statues (bearing a naos-sistrum) are well-represented in the intermediary corpus, and their symbolism is explored alongside the significance of statue form and temple location in the context of communication with gods.

  • Reconstructing the Pre-Meroitic Indigenous Pantheon of Kush
    Journal of Journal of Ancient near Ancient Near Eastern Eastern Religions 18 (2018) 167–189 Religions brill.com/jane Reconstructing the Pre-Meroitic Indigenous Pantheon of Kush M. Victoria Almansa-Villatoro Brown University [email protected] Abstract This article sets out to address questions concerning local religious traditions in an- cient Nubia. Data concerning Egyptian gods in the Sudan are introduced, then the existence of unattested local pre-Meroitic gods is reconstructed using mainly exter- nal literary sources and an analysis of divine names. A review of other archaeological evidence from an iconographic point of view is also attempted, concluding with the presentation of Meroitic gods and their relation with earlier traditions. This study pro- poses that Egyptian religious beliefs were well integrated in both official and popular cults in Nubia. The Egyptian and the Sudanese cultures were constantly in contact in the border area and this nexus eased the transmission of traditions and iconographi- cal elements in a bidirectional way. The Meroitic gods are directly reminiscent of the reconstructed indigenous Kushite pantheon in many aspects, and this fact attests to an attempt by the Meroitic rulers to recover their Nubian cultural identity. Keywords Nubia – Egypt – local religion – Meroitic Gods – Dedwen – Miket – Apedemak – Rahes 1 Introduction During the 25th Dynasty, the Kushite world was significantly influenced by Egyptian gods who entered the Nubian pantheon and were worshipped throughout various different

She Montu is known mainly as the divine consort of god Montu and a dweller in Iunit his chief cult centers, especially at Tod, Armant, and Medamoud. She Rettway is often represented anthropomorphically crowned either with two Tod cow’s horns with an integrated sun disk, or with a Bicornuate uterus. Armant Considering that her worship extended over nearly three thousand Medamoud. years, it seems inevitable that her iconography has seen some changes. This paper aims to shed light on the principal development moments of the iconography of goddess Tjenenet by responding to the following inquiries: how far is the possibility to recognize goddess Tjenenet despite the absence of her legends? Could the various aspects of her character influence her iconography? Does the form of this goddess vary according to the role she plays or the period in which she was depicted? Is it possible to consider the representations of Tjenenet as a measure of dating? Therefore, this paper tries to present and clarify the personality of Tjenenet by highlighting her iconography ©2021 Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University All rights reserved 1.
