Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. 2016 Reprint of 1909 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Originally published as The Instruction of Ptah- Hotep and also as The Maxims of Ptahhotep, the work is believed by some scholars to be the oldest book in the world. Authorship is attributed to Ptahhotep, a vizier under King Isesi of the Egyptian Fifth Dynasty (ca. 2414-2375 BC). It is a collection of maxims and advice in the sebayt ( teaching ) genre on human relations and are provided as instruction for his son. The work survives today in papyrus copies, including the Prisse Papyrus which dates from the Middle Kingdom and is on display at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. There are considerable differences between the Prisse Papyrus version and the two texts at the British Museum. The 1906 translation by Battiscombe Gunn, published as part of the Wisdom of the East series and which is reprinted here, was made directly from the Prisse Papyrus, in Paris, rather than from copies.

  • 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.

  • The Gazelle in Ancient Egyptian Art Image and Meaning
    Uppsala Studies in Egyptology - 6 - Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University For my parents Dorrit and Hindrik Åsa Strandberg The Gazelle in Ancient Egyptian Art Image and Meaning Uppsala 2009 Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in the Auditorium Minus of the Museum Gustavianum, Uppsala, Friday, October 2, 2009 at 09:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Strandberg, Åsa. 2009. The Gazelle in Ancient Egyptian Art. Image and Meaning. Uppsala Studies in Egyptology 6. 262 pages, 83 figures. Published by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History, Uppsala University. xviii +262 pp. ISSN 1650-9838, ISBN 978-91-506-2091-7. This thesis establishes the basic images of the gazelle in ancient Egyptian art and their meaning. A chronological overview of the categories of material featuring gazelle images is presented as a background to an interpretation. An introduction and review of the characteristics of the gazelle in the wild are presented in Chapters 1-2. The images of gazelle in the Predynastic material are reviewed in Chapter 3, identifying the desert hunt as the main setting for gazelle imagery. Chapter 4 reviews the images of the gazelle in the desert hunt scenes from tombs and temples. The majority of the motifs characteristic for the gazelle are found in this context. Chapter 5 gives a typological analysis of the images of the gazelle from offering processions scenes. In this material the image of the nursing gazelle is given particular importance. Similar images are also found on objects, where symbolic connotations can be discerned (Chapter 6).

Photo Paul Smit. Find this Pin and more on Finding Texture Egyptian Goddess. Nut Goddess. Akhethotep's body was buried in a subterranean vault at the end of a shaft. Excavations of the limestone chapel above it have found items which were used in offerings to Akhethotep, from offering tables and statues and the remains of the sacrament funeral in the crypt among which include a canopic jar with a limestone cover plate. It is highly decorated with bas reliefs, illustrating much about the life of Akhethetep on his country estate and feasts with live entertainment. Boating scenes — sailing upstream to the south, rowing downstream to the north — are an allusion to visits to his funerary estates and voyages toward the Field of Offerings, in the domain of the Great God. The mastaba of Akhethotep was discovered during excavations conducted by the Louvre. This excavation campaign, which began in , unearthed a massive, solid building, preserved to a height of almost 6 meters and covered with a facing of fine limestone; it was 32 meters long from north to south, and 16 from east to west. This building was in the center of a funerary complex which also contained a chapel, a courtyard, and a small mastaba in the name of another Akhethotep doubtless a member of the same family.

  • Ankh, Ujda, Seneb (Life, Strength, Health)
    ANKH, UJDA, SENEB (LIFE, STRENGTH, HEALTH): “LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE,” AN EPISTEMIC EXAMINATION ON THE GENEALOGY OF THE AFRICANA HOLISTIC HEALTH TRADITION, WITH PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, 1967 TO THE PRESENT A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR of PHILOSOPHY by Heru Setepenra Heq-m-Ta Department of African American Studies December 2016 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Nathaniel Norment, Jr., Advisory Chair, African American Studies, Temple University Dr. Greg Kimathi Carr, Afro-American Studies, Howard University Dr. Abu Shardow Abarry, African American Studies, Temple University Dr. Wilbert Jenkins, History, Temple University Dr. Mario Hollis Beatty, External Member, Afro-American Studies, Howard University © Copyright 2016 by Heru Setepenra Heq-m-Ta All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The utilization of natural elements of the earth to remedy corporeal maladies dates back to the medical systems of ancient Nile Valley culture. Given the continuity and intergenerational transmission of knowledge evident in African expressions of culture, these olden naturalistic health techniques, throughout time, have continuously been used as therapeutic modalities by posterior African cultures—both continental and Diasporic. Due to its tripartite approach to healing—of mind, body and spirit— this age-old African healing tradition has gained popularity in contemporary times and is commonly known today as the locution: holistic health. The principal objective of this intellectual project is to reveal an unbroken genealogy of a thriving Africana holistic health tradition upheld by both advocates and practitioners in the field. Notwithstanding the current state of health of Africans residing in the United States, the praxis of these ancient healing customs is extant within communities which the population is predominately African.

  • A Study of the King 'Menkauhor'/ the 5Th Dynasty Prof.Mofida El
    Studies on the Arab World monuments 21 A Study of the King ‘Menkauhor’/ The 5th Dynasty Prof.Mofida El-Weshahy Dr. Noha Hany Abstract: This research is entitled as ‘A Study of the King ‘Menkauhor’; the seventh king of the 5th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. The birth name of the king is Kaiu, and it is suggested that he has a burial pyramid at Dahshur. It could also be recommended that this king has no obvious relationship with that who preceded him in kingship; the king ‘Niuserre’. Menkauhor was also considered one of the kings of the 5th Dynasty who remarkably was buried outside the area of Abu Sir/Sakkara, although he has constructed a sun temple in Abu Ghurab. In spite of reigning shortly, that king’s monumental works had proved the remarkable improvements in the internal and external political conditions of the 5th Dynasty. The objectives of the research: This research aims to study and analyze the reigning period of the King ‘Menkauhor’ during the Old Kingdom. It aims to collect the published and unpublished representations of the king in the temples and tombs of Egypt in order to better understand his forms, titles and his relation with other kings and gods. It also aims to focus the light on the king’s ‘Menkauhor’ monuments and works. The research framework: The research framework is an artistic study, for tracing the scenes and monumental works of the King ‘Menkauhor’. The research type: The research is a combined study between both descriptive and analytical sides. Keywords: th Menkauhor, 5 Dynasty, Kaiu, Abu Ghurab.

  • Moral Values in Ancient Egypt
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 1997 Moral Values in Ancient Egypt Lichtheim, Miriam Abstract: In ten chapters the author works out the ancient Egyptian’s understanding of himself as a moral human being. As soon as the literate person had begun to sum up his life and his personality in the form of an “autobiography” inscribed in his tomb, he included in it statements on his moral personhood. In the course of the centuries these statements grew into rounded self-portraits in which he reported on his doing what he recognized as right actions and his shunning what he judged to be evildoing. He understood his knowledge of right and wrong as an innate capability which was articulated by himself as a thinking person, an “I”. Altogether, he thought of himself as a person shaped by innate traits which were fostered by growth, education, and experience. The process of moral growth he viewed as a learning process in which parents and teachers exemplified moral precepts which he, the thinking person, worked out in his daily life. The Egyptian viewed his gods as ultimate judges of people’s moral actions; but he did not ascribe a teaching function to the gods. An intense lover of life, he felt sure that rightdoing brought success and happiness, whereas evildoing was bound to bring failure. His moral thought added up to a social ethic which encompassed all members of society. Family, friends, neighbors, village and town, the nation as a whole and foreign peoples too – one and the same rules of righdoing applied to all.

  • Nomes of Lower Egypt in the Early Fifth Dynasty

Nomes of Lower Egypt in the early Fifth Dynasty Mohamed Ismail Khaled Ministry of Antiquities, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany Correspondence: Mohamed Ismail Khaled ([email protected]) Relevant dates: Received: 8 July 2020 – Revised: 4 November 2020 – Accepted: 17 November 2020 – Published: 15 January 2021 How to cite: Khaled, M. I.: Nomes of Lower Egypt in the early Fifth Dynasty, E&G Quaternary Sci. J., 70, 19–27, https://doi.org/10.5194/egqsj-70-19-2021, 2021. Abstract: Having control over the landscape played an important role in the geography and economy of Egypt from the predynastic period onwards. Especially from the beginning of the Old Kingdom, we have evidence that kings created new places (funerary domains) called (centers) and (Ezbah) for the equipment of the building projects of the royal tomb and the funerary cult of the king, as well as to ensure the eternal life of both kings and individuals. Kings used these localities in order to do so, and they oftentimes expanded the border of an existing nome and created new establishments. Consequently, these establishments were united or divided into new nomes. The paper discusses the geography of Lower Egypt and the associated royal domains in the early Fifth Dynasty based on the new discoveries from the causeway of Sahura at Abusir. Kurzfassung: Die geographische Unterteilung des Landes als Voraussetzung des Zugriff auf die Ressourcen des Landes spielte für die Wirtschaft Ägyptens und königliche Bauprojekte seit der prädynastischen Zeit eine wichtige Rolle.
