Downloaded from Brill.Com09/28/2021 06:24:01AM Via Free Access 488 Listing Four Thus Found in More Or Less Equal Distribution Among Its Types LISTING FOUR TYPOLOGICAL MOTIFS OF PYRAMID TEXTS A typological motif is a recurring expression shared by at least two texts of the same cat- egory or one of a category’s types, an expression which serves to distinguish them from the members of the opposing category. Motifs comprise empirical connections in propositional content. To note that two or more texts share the same kind of statement is to observe that they are connected. It is to identify features of familial resemblance and to sketch out lines of difference. This listing organizes motifs in alphabetical order according to the English labels applied to them. The beneficiary as an entity is present in most, and so normally he is not explicitly mentioned in the labels. Usually pregnancy of subject or object indicates him. Thus, for example, the motif called ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth’ means “the beneficiary is adorned with the eye of Horus in the form of cloth.” The labels should not be regarded as having much importance beyond the purpose of indexing similar statements under a single heading. The actual connections visible in the cited passages are what are important. In the case of ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth,’ one finds the beneficiary donning or being adorned (wn, bA) with (m) the eye of Horus (ir.t rw) in the form of cloth (tAi.t, rnn-wt.it). If there is any doubt as to the connection, the cited text and section number give direction to the place of verification. This listing is not a sub- stitute for the texts but marks them. A few motifs—the most abundant—have been subdivided. For instance the motif ‘Object Direction’ covers a number of other motifs under its umbrella, and thus certain passages get listed twice for that reason. Also, frequently encountered phraseology can be approached from different angles. For instance the notion of ascending, very often indicated by the verb pri, is found in different combinations, and therefore the same passage of a text is sometimes cited under more than one motif. For instance the motif ‘Ascends, Descends as Morning God, Star’ twice overlaps with ‘Ascends to ( pri r) Sky.’ Thus the same passages from two texts sometimes figure under both. As argued in Chapter Three, different divisions of content are possible. But the argument is that, carried out globally, such differences in division will not yield a typological articula- tion substantially different from what has been yielded here. Superficially similar concepts and sentiments are excluded from a particular motif. As an example of such differentiations, there are some citations attached as a footnote to the example motif ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth.’ The citations have to do with two motifs with some similar phraseology and ideas, but they also have important differences, so they are not included under the heading of ‘Adorned with Eye of Horus as Cloth.’ The tangentially related motifs indicated in that footnote are not attested in enough proportional difference to have qualified as typologically diagnostic. As explained in Chapter Three, about 1,500 motifs were isolated, and criteria were set up so as to identify those of particular rel- evance in making distinctions between the categories of personal and sacerdotal texts. As explained in the Coda and in the introduction to Listing One, the categories are subdivided by series and motifs. Thus offering and priestly motifs are still distinctive to the sacerdotal category, while apotropaic, transition, and provisioning motifs are distinctive to the personal. There are also a number of motifs which are more generic to the categories, Harold M.

The listing marks them simply as sacerdotal and personal motifs. The listing assembles 531 typological motifs, represented in 5,190 quoted passages of Pyra- mid Texts. Citations normally indicate just one specific source as representative.

  • Who Was Who at Amarna
    1 Who was Who at Amarna Akhenaten’s predecessors Amenhotep III: Akhenaten’s father, who ruled for nearly 40 years during the peak of Egypt’s New Kingdom empire. One of ancient Egypt’s most prolific builders, he is also known for his interest in the solar cult and promotion of divine kingship. He was buried in WV22 at Thebes, his mummy later cached with other royal mummies in the Tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) in the Valley of the Kings. Tiye: Amenhotep III’s chief wife and the mother of Akhenaten. Her parents Yuya and Tjuyu were from the region of modern Akhmim in Egypt’s south. She may have lived out her later years at Akhetaten and died in the 14th year of Akhenaten’s reign. Funerary equipment found in the Amarna Royal Tomb suggests she was originally buried there, although her mummy was later moved to Luxor and is perhaps to be identified as the ‘elder lady’ from the KV35 cache. Akhenaten and his family Akhenaten: Son and successor of Amenhotep III, known for his belief in a single solar god, the Aten. He spent most of his reign at Akhetaten (modern Amarna), the sacred city he created for the Aten. Akhenaten died of causes now unknown in the 17th year of his reign and was buried in the Amarna Royal Tomb. His body was probably relocated to Thebes and may be the enigmatic mummy recovered in the early 20th century in tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings. Nefertiti: Akhenaten’s principal queen. Little is known of her background, although she may also have come from Akhmim.

  • Ancient Egypt: Amarna Period the British Museum the Amarna Period
    Ancient Egypt: Amarna Period The British Museum The Amarna period comprises the reigns of Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun and Ay. The period is named after the capital city founded by Akhenaten, son of Amenhotep III. Akhenaten ascended the throne as Amenhotep IV, but changed his name when he rejected traditional religion in favour of the worship of the Aten or sun disc. He closed all the temples to other gods and obliterated their names from monuments. Akhenaten was succeeded by the short-lived Smenkhkare, then the famous Tutankhamun. Rejecting Akhenaten's religious beliefs, Tutankhamun restored the traditional gods and abandoned Tell el-Amarna. He died young and was succeeded by an elderly courtier, Ay. Subsequent kings did their best to remove all traces of the period from the record and the names of the Amarna period kings are not found on 'kinglists', various ancient texts that list the names and other details of the kings of Egypt in chronological order. The art of the Amarna period is very distinctive. The royal family were depicted with elongated heads, long necks and narrow chests. They generally had spindly limbs, but heavy hips and thighs, with a pronounced paunch. Literary developments of the period include a revision of the written script to more closely reflect the spoken language of the time, and the replacement of funerary texts with a hymn to the Aten.

  • ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES in the ARCHAEOLOGY
    ABSTRACT Carl Nicholas Reeves STUDIES IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS, with particular reference to tomb robbery and the caching of the royal mummies This study considers the physical evidence for tomb robbery on the Theban west bank, and its resultant effects, during the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period. Each tomb and deposit known from the Valley of the Kings is examined in detail, with the aims of establishing the archaeological context of each find and, wherever possible, isolating and comparing the evidence for post-interment activity. The archaeological and documentary evidence pertaining to the royal caches from Deir el-Bahri, the tomb of Amenophis II and elsewhere is drawn together, and from an analysis of this material it is possible to suggest the routes by which the mummies arrived at their final destinations. Large-scale tomb robbery is shown to have been a relatively uncommon phenomenon, confined to periods of political and economic instability. The caching of the royal mummies may be seen as a direct consequence of the tomb robberies of the late New Kingdom and the subsequent abandonment of the necropolis by Ramesses XI. Associated with the evacuation of the Valley tombs may be discerned an official dismantling of the burials and a re-absorption into the economy of the precious commodities there interred.
