    oi.uchicago.edu RESEARCH W. Raymond Johnson In November, W. Raymond Johnson supervised a second short season of docu­ mentation work at the Ramesses II small Ptah temple in ancient Memphis, focusing on the decoration of reused blocks of Nebmaatre Amenhotep III. He was able to document another thirty-one blocks and block fragments from the earlier structure of Amenhotep III, expanding the catalog to sixty-two, and will return to Memphis this fall to finish the photography and collation of the drawings for publication in the Egypt Exploration Society's Survey of Memphis series. Ramesses II seems to have dismantled an entire shrine for reuse in his Ptah chapel, and the preserved decoration suggests that the original structure was a portable bark shrine to the god Ptah-Sokar, a chthonic form of the creator-god Ptah. This shrine was part of Amenhotep Ill's great Ptah temple complex called "Nebmaatre-United-With-Ptah" which Ramesses II completely dismantled for reuse in the construction of his own great Ptah temple nearby. In addition to documenting Amenhotep III reliefs, Ray identified a granodiorite body that joins the head of an Amenhotep III male deity in the collection of the Met­ ropolitan Museum of Art since the turn of the century. The two pieces are now joined and on display. At the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Ray examined a granodior­ ite head of the goddess Hathor from the time of Tutankhamun and determined that it joins a torso in the Nicholson Museum, Sydney, Australia; casts of the two pieces will eventually be made and exchanged for joining.

  • A Social and Religious Analysis of New Kingdom Votive Stelae from Asyut
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Display and Devotion: A Social and Religious Analysis of New Kingdom Votive Stelae from Asyut A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures by Eric Ryan Wells 2014 © Copyright by Eric Ryan Wells ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Display and Devotion: A Social and Religious Analysis of New Kingdom Votive Stelae from Asyut by Eric Ryan Wells Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jacco Dieleman, Chair This dissertation is a case study and analysis of provincial religious decorum at New Kingdom Asyut. Decorum was a social force that restricted and defined the ways in which individuals could engage in material displays of identity and religious practice. Four-hundred and ninety-four votive stelae were examined in an attempt to identify trends and patters on self- display and religious practice. Each iconographic and textual element depicted on the stelae was treated as a variable which was entered into a database and statistically analyzed to search for trends of self-display. The analysis of the stelae revealed the presence of multiple social groups at Asyut. By examining the forms of capital displayed, it was possible to identify these social groups and reconstruct the social hierarchy of the site. This analysis demonstrated how the religious system was largely appropriated by elite men as a stage to engage in individual competitive displays of identity and capital as a means of reinforcing their profession and position in society and the II patronage structure.

    Selected Proceedings from the 2003 annual conference of the International Leadership Association, November 6-8, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico Origins of Leadership: Akhenaten, Ancient Leadership and Sacred Texts Leon F. “Skip” Rowland, Doctoral Candidate Leon F. “Skip” Rowland, “Origins of Leadership: Akhenaten, Ancient Leadership and Sacred Texts” presented at the International Leadership Association conference November 6-8 2003 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Available online at: http://www.ila-net.org/Publications/Proceedings/2003/lrowland.pdf - 1 - Introduction This paper presents an ancient international leader who used sacred texts to effect cultural change in all the major social institutions of ancient Egypt. The purpose of this paper is to help shape the future of leadership by presenting a form new to traditional leadership studies: that of an ancient Egyptian leader. This new face, Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten, who founded a new place, Akhetaten, provided a new context for our study of international leadership. Guiding Questions Who was Akhenaten? What was the context of the times in which Akhenaten lived? What was Akhenaten’s religious heresy? What are sacred texts? What do they teach? How did Akhenaten use sacred texts to change Egyptian culture? What can researchers, practitioners, and educators learn from a study of Akhenaten? Methodology I conducted a cross-disciplinary literature review from anthropology, history, Egyptology, religion and spirituality, political science, social psychology, psychohistory, and leadership studies on the subject of Akhenaten and the Amarna Period of Ancient Egypt. I also reviewed the literature to understand the concept of “sacred texts” both in Egyptian culture and Western culture and consulted books of ancient literature to uncover the “sacred texts” of Egypt that would have conceivably been known to a Pharaoh during the 14th century B.C.E., after 1500 years of the written record – for example, the Instructions of Ptah-Hotep from around 2300 B.C.E.

Maps and plans from the Theban Mapping Project made clear just how many private tombs there are in this supposedly royal necropolis and comparison of tomb decoration suggests that work on KV62 may have begun as early as the reign of Tutankhamun’s grandfather, Amenhotep III. Photography was essential to archaeology, but Burton’s photography did much more than simply record information about the tomb and its treasures. By looking at the different kinds of photographs Burton made, and how they were The layout, paintings and contents of the used, this exhibition places the Tutankhamun tomb were described with reference to Harry discovery in its historical context – and asks whether photographs influence the way we think Burton’s magnificent photographs, some of t hem displayed in colourised form.

  • 'Ancient Egyptian Autobiographies Chiefly of the Middle Kingdom: a Study and an Anthology'
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 1988 Ancient Egyptian Autobiographies Chiefly of the Middle Kingdom: A Study and an Anthology Lichtheim, Miriam Abstract: By a selection of sixty ancient Egyptian autobiographical inscriptions, presented in new transla- tions, the author examines the growth of the autobiographical genre during the Old and Middle Kingdoms, from ca. 2500 to ca. 1800 B.C. The Old Kingdom created the basic form: the autobiography as an inte- gral part of the inscriptional and pictorial program of tombs - the planned and often sumptuous tombs of the well-to-do, who filled the major positions in the royal administration. After the decline oftheOld Kingdom, the rising middle class diversified the genre, and loci other than tombs, notably free-standing stelae and rock faces of quarries, also became carriers of autobiographical self-presentations. The cult of Osiris added yet another dimension: autobiographical stelae erected near the Osiris temple at Abydos and specifically designed to place their owners in the care of the god-of-the-dead. The texts of thesestelae often describe their position as being ”at the terrace of the great god”, a description which has caused much scholarly rumination. Just what was the terrace of the great god? This study demonstrates that the texts themselves furnish the conclusive answer. Finally, the reader meets a magnate of Middle Egypt in his splendid tomb, whose carefully stylized autobiography is a classic of Middle Kingdom oratory.

In the Shadow of Osiris: Non-Royal Mortuary Landscapes at South Abydos During the Late Middle and New Kingdoms Abstract Kevin M. Cahail Dr. Josef W. Wegner The site of South Abydos was home to royal mortuary complexes of both the late Middle, and New Kingdoms, belonging to Senwosret III and Ahmose. Thanks to both recent and past excavations, both of these royal establishments are fairly well understood. Yet, we lack a clear picture of the mortuary practices of the non- royal individuals living and working in the shadow of these institutions. For both periods, the main question is where the tombs of the non-royal citizens might exist. Additionally for the Middle Kingdom is the related issue of how these people commemorated their dead ancestors. Divided into two parts, this dissertation looks at the ways in which non-royal individuals living at South Abydos during these two periods dealt with burial and funerary commemoration.

  • Amenhotep Son of Hapu: Self-Presentation Through Statues and Their Texts in Pursuit of Semi-Divine Intermediary Status
    AMENHOTEP SON OF HAPU: SELF-PRESENTATION THROUGH STATUES AND THEIR TEXTS IN PURSUIT OF SEMI-DIVINE INTERMEDIARY STATUS By ELEANOR BETH SIMMANCE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Master of Research (Egyptology) Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

He was similarly distinguished in ancient times as one who reached extraordinary heights during life and whose memory was preserved for centuries after death. This thesis engages with the premise that an individual constructed monuments for commemoration and memorialisation, and thus that the individual was governed by this motive during their creation. Two statues of Amenhotep in particular are believed to have served as mediators between human and god, and by exploring the ways in which he presented himself on the nine contemporary statues which are currently known (all but one originating at Karnak) it is argued that he deliberately portrayed himself as a suitable intermediary, encouraging this form of remembrance.

  • Oracular Sessions and the Installations of Priests and Officials at the Opet Festival
    Oracular Sessions and the Installations of Priests and Officials at the Opet Festival Oracular Sessions and the Installations of Priests and Officials at the Opet Festival Masashi FUKAYA* The Opet Festival is known for its juridical function relating to the oracles of Amun. There are only three texts unequivocally relevant to its oracular sessions, dated to the Nineteenth Dynasty and later. However, other evidence can be associated with this celebration, based on the dates of events. This paper consists of two parts, each re-examining the known evidence and presenting new one. The new sources examined here are mostly related to the installations of high-ranking individuals, such as the high-priests of Amun, the divine wives, and viziers. Unlike juridical oracular sessions, the dates of their ceremonial appointments are rather peripheral in nature, taking place in proximity either to the beginning or the end of the festival. This may hint at the legal assumption of priestly titles prior to religious events and subsequent approval by the god in ceremonial settings, or reward ceremonies when those individuals received special favours from the king for their devotion to him after particular festivals. The author also notes that the accessions of kings were probably modeled on the same pattern in view that some rulers celebrated an accession anniversary at the Opet Festival in their first regnal year when they went on a tour all over Egypt to proclaim their new authority. Keywords: Opet Festival, oracle, decree, installation, appointment Introduction Clear evidence attesting Egyptian oracular rituals is known only from the New Kingdom onwards.1 We have no more than four examples from the Eighteenth Dynasty, all of which pertain to decision-makings on state affairs made by Amun at Thebes.2 Two of them are dated – II Peret 30 and III Peret 2.
