GM 196 (2003) 19 Luc Gabolde Hicham Ahmed Fahid A DooR JAMB WITH PROSCYNEMA TO AMUN-RE-HORAKHTY AND MONTU (95 CL 381) 1 This part of the left jamb of a sandstone door , stored in the « Cheikh Labib » magazine under the number 95 CL 381, has no known proveniance, though the paralleled mentions of Montu and Amun-Ra, may indicate a possible origin from north Karnak ".

When worshiped in the theban solar hyms, the theban god Amun is often given the syncretic form Amun-Ra-Horakhty and is then identified with the sun­ god, (see J.

A slightly different version of the associated ephithet, « great disk, who generates the brightness>>, is given in the statue CGC 42208 (G.

Habachi, Features of the Deification of Ramses II, ADAIK 5, 1969, p. 40, 42 and n. 161, where praises are given to the king and to the king's ka).

  • Ancient Egyptian Religion I: General Concepts and the Heliopolitan Gods
    Ancient Egyptian Religion I: General Concepts and the Heliopolitan Gods Shawn C. Knight Spring 2009 (This document last revised March 18, 2009) 1 The nature of Egyptian religion (intro) The Egyptian idea of \deity" is a difficult one to pin down. The most frequently used word for deity, ' 4 ntr (or nTr), resembles the English word god in that it can be used as either a common noun, referring to one of numerous divine beings, or as a proper noun, referring to the Supreme Being. Much more problematic than the word used, however, are the details of what the gods do and even who they are. Gods become conflated with one another; most notably, there are (at least) two gods named Horus, designated \Elder" and \Younger", and they share a number of traits, often being confused (deliberately or mistakenly). The gods usurp one another's roles, or delegate their roles to others, with astounding frequency. It is Set's role to protect the sun god from the serpent of chaos|except when Horus has that function. The Supreme Being is Re-Atum, except when he is Amun-Re, except when he is simply Re or simply Atum or . Adding still further to the complication is the local character of Egyptian religion. Every nome had a patron god, and while some of the gods patronized more than one nome, there was plenty of variety. We have already considered this to some degree: we have noted Thebes, for example, as having Amun for a patron, and observed that the military rise of the Thebans in the Middle and New Kingdoms were responsible for the enrichment and empowerment of Amun's cult.

Schroeder: Ma'at in Egyptian Art Ma’at as a Theme in Ancient Egyptian Tomb Art In ancient Egypt, a variety of gods and symbols were used to explain the complex religious rites of the culture. Ma’at, the idea of truth, justice and order, is an example of a symbol that was so influential that it was also recognized as a deity.1 The concept of ma’at infiltrated numerous aspects of art during all dynasties and periods. Ma’at is particularly ubiquitous in tomb art of individuals in the upper class: officials, pharaohs, and other royals. Tomb art served numerous purposes within the funerary practice of ancient Egyptian society, and ma’at is a motif that helps fulfill many of these purposes. Ma’at is an important concept that helped create a pleasant living space for the deceased, evoke everyday life, and convey importance of the deceased to the gods.

The haud- book of the Egyptian Religion seemed cspecially worthy of a wide circulation. It is a survey by the founder of the modern school of Egyptology in Germany, of perhaps tile most interest- ing of all the departments of this subject. The Egyptian religion appeals to some because of its endless variety of form, and the many phases of superstition and belief that it represents ; to others because of its early recognition of a high moral principle, its elaborate conceptions of a life aftcr death, and its connection with the development of Christianity; to others again no doubt because it explains pretty things dear to the collector of antiquities, and familiar objects in museums. Professor Erman is the first to present the Egyptian religion in historical perspective; and it is surely a merit in his worlc that out of his profound knowledge of the Egyptian texts, he permits them to tell their own tale almost in their own words, either by extracts or by summaries.

  • Ancient Egyptian Dieties
    Ancient Egyptian Dieties Amun: When Amun’s city, Thebes, rose to power in the New Kingdom (1539-1070 B.C.), Amun became known as the “King of the Gods.” He was worshipped as the high god throughout Egypt. Able to take many shapes, Amun was sometimes shown as a ram or goose, but was usually shown in human form. He is fundamentally a Creator God and his name, Amun, means “The Hidden One.” Amun-Re: Originating in the Middle Kingdom, (2055 - 1650 B.C.), Amun-Re is a fusion of the Gods Amun and Re. He combined the invisible power of creation and the power visible in heat and light. Anubis: Usually represented as a black jackal, or as a human with a canine head, Anubis was a guardian of mummies, tombs, and cemeteries, as well as an escort of the deceased to the afterlife. Atum: According to the most ancient Egyptian creation myths, Atum is the creator of the world. He also brought the first gods Shu (air), Tefnut (water), Geb (earth), and Nut (sky) to Egypt. He is also god of the setting sun. Atum was represented in many forms such as a human, a human with the head of a ram, and a combination of an eel and a cobra. Bastet: Originating as early as Dynasty II (2820-2670 B.C.), Bastet was represented as a cat or a woman with a lioness’s head. She eventually became Egypt’s most important “cat goddess.” If Bastet took the form of a cat she was considered content, but if Bastet was a lioness she was considered an angry goddess.

They are a testimony of the everyday life of the ancient Egyptians for which remains have been found throughout all of the temples of Karnak. Continuous occupation from the First Intermediate Period until the Late Roman Period is well attested at different locations in the complex of Karnak. Settlements are easily recognizable by their use of brick, especially mud-brick. The artifacts and organic remains found during new excavations of settlements give us a good idea of the inhabitants and their daily life.

  • Shu, Tefnut, Sekhmet – Shiva, Kali, Durga
    SHU, TEFNUT, SEKHMET – SHIVA, KALI, DURGA Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan The above image is of the Abosom (Akan term for Deities, Ntorou/Ntorotu [Neteru/Netertu]) Shu and Tefnut. Below is an excerpt from a discussion we were having on our forum awhile back. Note that Shu and Tefnut are the origin of Shiva and Shakti. Shu and Tefnut are also called 'Shu-ti' or the 'Two Shu'. Tefnut is called 'Shu.t' Linguistically, the letters 'w', 'v' and 'u' interchange. This interchange can be seen in various languages. This is how Shu became Shv (Shiva). Shu as Shiva was originally worshiped by the Dravidians. The invading aryans had no knowledge of Shiva prior to their invasions. This is why there is no etymological root for Shiva in aryan-sanskrit. This is also why Shiva is not mentioned in the vedas. The Tamil (Dravidian language) root 'shiva' meaning 'reddened' or 'angry' is a reference to the fire of Shu/Shut. 1 "....Shu and Tefnut govern expansion and contraction in the air, in breathing. They can be found in your lungs. They are inside of the fire (shu also means fire in Kamit and in Twi-Akan (hyew). Shu also means feather). Air (represented by the feather) fans the flames of fire. This happens in nature and within your body and spirit. Shu and Tefnut can be found in the expansion and contraction of water as well. Indeed, the expansion and contraction (beating) of the heart would not be possible without Shu and Tefnut. Together They are sometimes called Shu-ti, meaning the Two Shu.

  • Egyptian Creation
    EGYPTIAN CREATION Nu was the name of the dark, swirling chaos before the beginning of time. Out of these waters rose Atum; he created himself using his thoughts and the sheer force of his will. He created a hill, for there was nowhere he could stand. Atum was alone in the world. He was neither male nor female, and he had one all-seeing eye that could roam the universe. He joined with his shadow to produce a son and a daughter. Atum gave birth to his son by spitting him out. He named him Shu and made him god of the air. He vomited up his daughter. Naming her Tefnut and making her the goddess of mist and moisture. Shu and Tefnut were given the task of separating the chaos into principles of law, order and stability. The chaos was divided into light and dark and set into place. This order was called Maat, which formed the principles of life for all time. Maat was a feather; it was light and pure. Shu and Tefnut also produced Geb, the Earth and Nut the Sky. At first these two were tangled together as one. Shu, god of the air, pushed Nut up into the heavens. There she would remain arched out over Geb, her mate. They longed to be together, but in the name of Maat they had to be apart, to fulfil their functions. Nut produced rain for Geb, and Geb made things grow on earth. As the sky, she gave birth to the sun every night before dawn, and by day it would follow its course over the earth and die at sunset.

Tourism Guidance dept., Faculty of Archaeology & Tourism Guidance, Misr Univ. for Sciences & Technology, 6th October City, Egypt. E-mail: [email protected] Received 11/5/2017 Accepted 2/12/2017 Abstract A key issue in understanding the sacred landscape of Thebes is the origin of god Montu and how his cult, and system of temples, changed through time and in relationship to other gods. He had several temples built for him in the Theban region including those at the closely connected sites of Armant and Tod south of Thebes, and also at Medamoud north-east of Karnak. One aspect of Montu is his division into multiple forms, particularly visible by the time of the new kingdom where he can manifest himself in the form of four Montus connected with the four primary cult places of the Theban nome: Thebes proper, Tod, Armant and Medamoud. A network that could imply an originally linked series of Theban religious sites defined by the rituals and festivals dedicated to Montu. The evolution of Montu within a cultic and temple framework of the Theban nome is an issue yet to be resolved. However, the comparatively limited state of excavation and publication of these sites complicates the analysis and has led to various controversies such as that regarding the specific origin of Montu.

  • Gathered Ancient Images of Set, by Joan Ann Lansberry the God Set (Aka Seth) Has Been Much of a Puzzle to Egyptologists
    Gathered Ancient Images of Set, by Joan Ann Lansberry The god Set (aka Seth) has been much of a puzzle to Egyptologists. If we go with the attitude of later Egyptians, we find Set blamed for every misfortune that can befall humanity. However, if we go with the attitude of earlier times, in particular the Ramesside period, when Egypt was at its peak in prosperity, we find a completely different picture. For we find a god who was very much adored. Most of the surviving imagery is from that period, although even in Ptolemaic and Roman times we occasionally find a piece that was a part of worship and magical rites. It's my goal to find all his imagery and bring it together, thereby shedding new light on the Dark god. Let’s begin with the earliest images. Chicago’s Oriental Institute recorded a rock carving at Gebel Tjauti along the Theban Desert Road: John Coleman Darnell and Deborah Darnell believe it to be ‘the earliest certain depiction of this beast from the vicinity of Seth's cult center at Ombos.” (http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/pubs/ar/96-97/desert_road.html) H. Te Velde gives another example in his Seth, God of Confusion, (page 12). The 'Scorpion King' mace head, (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; # AN1896-1908.E3632), features distinct Set animals on the top of tall standards. This piece was created about 3100 BCE, in the period immediately preceding the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. 1 King Scorpion’s tomb at Abydos had a couple of ivory labels featuring Set animals.
