1THE EMERGENCE OF LAW IN ANCIENT EGYPT: THE ROLE OF MAAT NJ van Blerk* ** ABSTRACT In this article, the emergence of ancient Egyptian law out of religion and specifi cally arising from the concept of maat is discussed, as well as the important role played by religion, and specifi cally maat, in the ancient Egyptians’ understanding and development of the law.

19 Sloan-Hubert
Egypt in Antiquity: Music and Mythological Deities April Sloan–Hubert Jack Yates High School INTRODUCTION Jack Yates High School in Houston, Texas, is the alma mater of choreographer, producer and actress Debbie Allen and her Tony-award winning sister, Philicia Rashad. The Allen sisters discovered and began to develop their talents and skills at the historic Jack Yates High School. The great jazz vocalist, the late Anita Moore, developed her vocal pipes too at Jack Yates. Anita’s voice although silenced is still remembered for being hand picked by the one and only Duke Ellington to lead his orchestra. Jack Yates High School is also the alma mater of the now retired Lavonia Pope Bassett, the first African American music supervisor for the Houston Independent School District. As the present Choir Director and Fine Arts Department Chair at this talent-rich institution, I am charged with the phenomenal task to lead, mold, develop and return our department to its traditional glory. I am also cognizant of the fact that those were the days before state- mandated tests, budget cuts, site-based management and weaponless wars of destruction. In America’s not-so-long ago past, people from all walks of life were considered culturally refined and upstanding citizens by attending the opera, going to the museum, knowing what dinner fork to use at a well set table, and by the art work in their homes. At the heart of my motivation lie two exceptionally large music history classes with forty plus students each. The students enrolled in these classes are lovingly called “the music historians.” These semi-non musically inclined historians are void of vocal and instrumental skills, but they possess a great love and appreciation for music.

Chapter6 the Egyptian Pantheon
Chapter6 The Egyptian Pantheon Objectives To discover the physical characteristics of the gods and goddesses, and to identify the role each deity played in the land of the living and the land of the dead. Mystery How did the ancient Egyptians conceive and visualize their invisible gods and goddesses? Discussion and Research Projects 1. Like many other ancient cultures, the Egyptians worshipped a mul- titude of gods and goddesses. Why do you think they had so many deities? 2. Gods and goddesses can be classified into pairs of opposites. The pairs may be male and female, or represent opposite phe- nomena such as order and chaos. Make a list of the gods and god- desses that constitute pairs of opposites. 3. Classify the gods and goddesses according to their role in the land of the living and the land of the dead. The land of the living would include the natural world on earth and the sky; the land of the dead is the invisible world where the Egyptians hoped to be reborn into eternity. 4. The gods and goddesses were visualized with bodies, heads and headdresses that gave each a unique appearance. Most had human bodies with either a human, animal, bird or insect head. Which god does not fit this pattern? Mysteries of Egypt — Teacher’s Guide 5. Classify the gods and goddesses into the following categories: • bird heads • insect heads • human heads • animal heads • mythical heads • a single animal body • a combination of animal bodies • a combination of human and bird bodies 6. Classify the gods and goddesses according to what they hold in their hands: • crook and flail • feather • rod or sceptre • ankh (symbol of life) • sistrum (rattle) 7.

Ten Egyptian Plagues for Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses the God of Israel Is Greater Than All Other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses
- Ten Egyptian Plagues For Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses The God of Israel is greater than all other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Moses was a great prophet, called by God with a very important job to do. As an instrument in the Lord's hand he performed many signs, or "wonders", attempting to convince Pharaoh to allow the Israelites freedom from their bondage of slavery to the Egyptians. These "wonders" are more commonly referred to as "plagues" sent from the God of Israel, as a proof that the "one true God" was far greater than all of the multiple Gods of the Egyptians. These Egyptian Plagues were harsh and varied to correspond to the ancient egyptian gods and goddesses that were prevelant during Moses time in Egypt. The number ten is a significant number in biblical numerology. It represents a fullness of quantity. Ten Egyptian Plagues Means Completely Plagued. Just as the "Ten Commandments" become symbolic of the fullness of the moral law of God, the ten ancient plagues of Egypt represent the fullness of God's expression of justice and judgments, upon those who refuse to repent. Ten times God, through Moses, allows Pharaoh to change his mind, repent, and turn to the one true God, each time increasing the severity of the consequence of the plagues suffered for disobedience to His request. Ten times Pharaoh, because of pride, refuses to be taught by the Lord, and receives "judgments" through the plagues, pronounced upon his head from Moses, the deliverer. The Ten Egyptian Plagues testify of Jesus the Anointed One and His power to save.

Life Cycle of an Object EC146 – a Wooden Canopic Jar Lid
Life Cycle of an Object EC146 – A Wooden Canopic Jar Lid CLE214 – 654301 12/7/2012 1 CLE214 – Introduction to Egyptian Archaeology 654301 Life Cycle of An Object – EC146 Description EC146 is a wooden canopic jar lid in the shape of the animal head of Hapi, one of the Four Sons of Horus. The wood was covered in gesso before being painted, however now only small traces remain of the colours. The object has sustained some damage, with a large crack running from the base to below the left eye.1 Its previous accession number 963 is stuck to the back of the object.2 The object came to the Egypt Centre as an assumed loan from the Wellcome Trusties on the 15th of February 1971.3 The inner and outer ring on the base of the lid4 give an idea of how thick the jar itself was. This also gives an indication that it was made separately from the jar itself, unlike some dummy jars5 where the lid is carved from the same piece of material as the jar itself.6 It is unclear when this object was made, however, since the popularity of the Sons of Horus in animal form became more prominent during the Ramesside period and continues on into the Late Period. It is because of this that it is likely that EC146 dates from this extensive time frame.7 The materials used in the 19th Dynasty to create canopic jars also support this, as pottery and wood became used with a higher frequency than limestone or calcite.8 It is unlikely to have come from the Middle Kingdom or Early New Kingdom as canopic jars from this period have solely human heads.9 It is also possible that it was part of a dummy canopic jar, and so was never used to contain human remains.
