589 Thesis in the Date of Tomb TT 254 Verification Through Analysis Of
Thesis in The Date Of Tomb TT 254 Verification Through Analysis of its Scenes Thesis in The Date of Tomb TT 254 Verification through Analysis of its Scenes Sahar Mohamed Abd el-Rahman Ibrahim Faculty of Archeology, Cairo University, Egypt Abstract: This paper extrapolates and reaches an approximate date of the TOMB of TT 254, the tomb of Mosi (Amenmose) (TT254), has not been known to Egyptologists until year 1914, when it was taken up from modern occupants by the Antiquities Service, The tomb owner is Mosi , the Scribe of the treasury and custodian of the estate of queen Tiye in the domain of Amun This tomb forms with two other tombs (TT294-TT253) a common courtyard within Al-Khokha necropolis. Because the Titles/Posts of the owner of this tomb indicated he was in charge of the estate of Queen Tiye, no wonder a cartouche of this Queen were written among wall paintings. Evidently, this tomb’s stylistic features of wall decorations are clearly influenced by the style of Amarna; such as the male figures with prominent stomachs, and elongated heads, these features refer that tomb TT254 has been finished just after the reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhenatun). Table stands between the deceased and Osiris which is divided into two parts: the first part (as a tray) is loading with offerings, then the other is a bearer which consisted of two stands shaped as pointed pyramids… based on the connotations: 1- Offerings tables. 2- Offerings Bearers. 3- Anubis. 4- Mourners. 5- Reclamation of land for cultivation. 6- Banquet in some noble men tombs at Thebes through New Kingdom era. -
Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt Until the End of the New Kingdom
Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City Vol. 1, Issue 1, June, 2017 Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt until the End of the New Kingdom Dr. Iman Muhammad Ahmad El-Mahdy Associated Professor at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Tourism Guidance department - University of Sadat City Abstract This paper studies the appearance and role of some weapons which associated with the gods in ancient Egypt and shows its aspects and its scenes. The paper concluded that the physical weapons which appeared with the gods were used in the battles and conflicts from ancient times so most of the gods who used these weapons were represented in human form or in animal form with human hands holding the weapons. In addition to the physical weapons there were incorporeal weapons such as the magic. The hands and the wings were used also for protection. Keywords: Weapons, Gods, Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom. Introduction From most ancient times the Weapons were used in Egypt such as the spears, the battleaxe and the maces for the defense of the land as the scenes showed on the most ancient archaeological artifacts such as palettes, knives and maces but the ancient Egyptians sought the power and the support from their gods who supported and accompanied them with their weapons as it was appeared on the top of the lion and enemies palette where the standards of the gods with human hands leads the prisoners. (fig. 1). The study focuses on the association between some gods and some weapons such as knife, staves, bows, arrows, etc., and searches for this phenomenon in an attempt to understand and explain the motivation for using the weapons by the gods. -

Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi
Laval University From the SelectedWorks of Fathi Habashi July, 2019 Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi Available at: https://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/416/ Pharaohs of Egypt Introduction Pharaohs were the mighty political and religious leaders who reigned over ancient Egypt for more than 3,000 years. Also known as the god-kings of ancient Egypt, made the laws, and owned all the land. Warfare was an important part of their rule. In accordance to their status as gods on earth, the Pharaohs built monuments and temples in honor of themselves and the gods of the land. Egypt was conquered by the Kingdom of Kush in 656 BC, whose rulers adopted the pharaonic titles. Following the Kushite conquest, Egypt would first see another period of independent native rule before being conquered by the Persian Empire, whose rulers also adopted the title of Pharaoh. Persian rule over Egypt came to an end through the conquests of Alexander the Great in 332 BC, after which it was ruled by the Hellenic Pharaohs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. They also built temples such as the one at Edfu and Dendara. Their rule, and the independence of Egypt, came to an end when Egypt became a province of Rome in 30 BC. The Pharaohs who ruled Egypt are large in number - - here is a selection. Narmer King Narmer is believed to be the same person as Menes around 3100 BC. He unified Upper and Lower Egypt and combined the crown of Lower Egypt with that of Upper Egypt. Narmer or Mena with the crown of Lower Egypt The crown of Lower Egypt Narmer combined crown of Upper and Lower Egypt Djeser Djeser of the third dynasty around 2670 BC commissioned the first Step Pyramid in Saqqara created by chief architect and scribe Imhotep. -

Queens Egypt
| OF QUEENS | EGYPT A new National Geographic exhibition in Washington, D.C., shines a light on the lives (and afterlives) of the royal women of ancient Egypt. From the founding queen of the New Kingdom, Ahmose-Nefertari, to Cleopatra VII, Egypt’s last queen and pharaoh—a span of more than 1,400 years. Martina Minas-Nerpel from Swansea University tells us that “while the king was the unquestioned political and religious figurehead of Egypt, queens had a complex role with more power than is usually recognized. Wife and mother, the Egyptian queen also had divine status, serving as the earthly embodiment of Hathor and thus ‘a regenerative medium for the king in his role as representative of the sun god on earth’ (Silke Roth, 2009).” Now, let’s have a closer look at some of the fabulous artefacts from Queens of Egypt. REPLICA BUST OF NEFERTITI, CA. A.D. 1913–1932. ORIGINAL: 18TH DYNASTY, REIGN OF AKHENATEN, CA. 1353–1336 B.C. RIJKSMUSEUM VAN OUHEDEN, LEIDEN, NETHERLANDS. CAT. F 1932/5.1.

SHOWING AT THE NATIONAL GEO- GRAPHIC MUSEUM, WASHINGTON, D.C., THROUGH TO 2 SEPT 2019. One of the most famous pieces of Egyptian art ever discovered. This replica bust of Nefertiti was produced soon after the original was discovered in 1912. The distinctive, flat-topped blue crown is unique to Nefer- titi, allowing us to identify the face. -
