DESTINATION INFORMATION • Abu Simbel Abu Simbel is an archaeological site comprising two massive rock temples in southern Egypt on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments", which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari, to commemorate his alleged victory at the Battle of Kadesh, and to intimidate his Nubian neighbors. However, the complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s atop an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary to avoid being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan Dam on the Nile River. Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt's top tourist attractions. • Aswan Aswan is a busy market and tourist center in the south of Egypt that stands on the east bank of the Nile at the first cataract. The city has many sites that are worth exploring − Elephant Island, the Philae Temple, the Aswan Dam and Abu Simbel, which can be visited as a day trip. Aswan is one of the driest inhabited places in the world. Aswan was the first town in the ancient Egyptian land because the Egyptians oriented to the south, and was formerly known as Swenet, a hieroglyphic word for 'trade'. Aswan is also one of the driest inhabited places in the world, as it rains on average about once every six years. The quarries of Aswan were celebrated for their stone, especially for the granite rock called Syenite. They furnished the colossal statues, obelisks, monolithic shrines and pyramids which are found throughout Egypt, and the traces of the quarrymen who wrought in these quarries over 3000 years ago are still visible in the native rock. Aswan was equally important as a military station and as a place of traffic. Under every dynasty it was a garrison town which levied tolls and customs on all boats passing southward and northward. 2 • Cairo Cairo − the Triumphant City − is the glorious capital of Egypt, the cradle of civilization and the beacon of religion. The largest city in the Middle East and Africa, Cairo lies at the center of all routes leading to and from the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. Greater Cairo extends on the banks of the River Nile to the south of its delta. Here the Nile divides into its two distributaries, Rosetta and Damietta. Cairo is the city where the past meets the present. On its east side stands the evidence of 2000 years of Christian Coptic, Islamic and Jewish culture still flourishing to this day while on its west side lays the Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis (Giza), the renowned capital of the Old Kingdom and the site of the Pyramids, the only extant wonder of the Seven Wonders of the World. A journey through Cairo is indeed a journey through time... • Edfu Edfu is an Egyptian city located on the west bank of the River Nile between Esna and Aswan with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. Edfu is a friendly town which produces sugar and pottery, is a hub of a road network, and is a vivid religious and commercial center. It was the capital of the second Nome (Horus) of Upper Egypt. The main attraction in Edfu is the Temple of Horus, which is considered by most to be the best preserved cult temple in Egypt, but there is a mound of rubble to the west of the Temple which is probably the original city of Djeba. Edfu was formerly known as Tbot by the early Egyptians, Apollinopolis Magna by the Greeks and Atbo during the Coptic times. • Kom Ombo Kom Ombo is an agricultural town in Egypt famous for its magnificent temple of Kom Ombo. Today, irrigated sugar cane and corn account for most of the agricultural industry. It was originally an Egyptian city called Nubt, meaning City of Gold and during the Greco−Roman Period it became a Greek settlement. The town's location on the Nile 50 km north of Aswan (Syene) gave it some control over trade routes from Nubia to the Nile Valley, but its main rise to prominence came with the erection of the temple in the 2nd century BC. In the Kom Ombo temple, there is a rare engraved image of Cleopatra VII on the walls of the main temple and also the engraving of what is thought to be the first representation of medical instruments for performing surgery, including scalpels, curettes, forceps, dilator, scissors and medicine bottles dating from the days of Roman Egypt. • Luxor 3 Luxor is a city in Upper (southern) Egypt. As the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, Luxor has frequently been characterized as the "world's greatest open air museum", as the ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand within this modern city.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

  • Religion and Politics in Ancient Egypt
    AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES ISSN Print: 2156-1540, ISSN Online: 2151-1559, doi:10.5251/ajsms.2012.3.3.93.98 © 2012, ScienceHuβ, http://www.scihub.org/AJSMS Religion and politics in ancient Egypt Etim E. Okon Ph.D. Department of Religious and Cultural Studies, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to examine the pervasive influence of religion on politics in a monarchical ancient African kingdom. After a critical reflection on the mythology and cultus of the Sun-God, the apotheosis of the Pharaoh and the cult of the dead in ancient Egyptian society, it was found that religion was indispensable in ancient Egypt. Religion and politics in ancient Egyptian society were inseparable. Ancient Egyptians were incurably religious. Social and political life was a religious phenomenon. The king of Egypt, Pharaoh was not only despotic, but comprehensively authoritarian. Ancient Egyptian society was a monarchy. The idea of democracy was unknown in ancient Egypt. Key words: Religion and Politics in Ancient Egypt; Egypt and the Sun-God; Egyptian Mythology; INTRODUCTION differences. It is also evident that even though the god – Ra, was known by seventy-five different Religion was the dominant social force in ancient names, very few of the hundreds of deities were Egypt. Religious influence was pervasive affecting worshiped nationally. The most influential pantheon almost everything. Egyptian religion developed from was made up of the trinity – Osiris, Isis (his wife), and simple polytheism to philosophic monotheism, with Horus (his son). Egyptians also worshiped the every community having a guardian deity which “cosmic” gods under the leadership of Ra, the sun- personified the powers of nature.
