Functions and Uses of Egyptian Myth Fonctions Et Usages Du Mythe Égyptien
Revue de l’histoire des religions 4 | 2018 Qu’est-ce qu’un mythe égyptien ? Functions and Uses of Egyptian Myth Fonctions et usages du mythe égyptien Katja Goebs and John Baines Electronic version URL: http://journals.openedition.org/rhr/9334 DOI: 10.4000/rhr.9334 ISSN: 2105-2573 Publisher Armand Colin Printed version Date of publication: 1 December 2018 Number of pages: 645-681 ISBN: 978-2-200-93200-8 ISSN: 0035-1423 Electronic reference Katja Goebs and John Baines, “Functions and Uses of Egyptian Myth”, Revue de l’histoire des religions [Online], 4 | 2018, Online since 01 December 2020, connection on 13 January 2021. URL: http:// journals.openedition.org/rhr/9334 ; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4000/rhr.9334 Tous droits réservés KATJA GOEBS / JOHN BAINES University of Toronto / University of Oxford Functions and Uses of Egyptian Myth* This article discusses functions and uses of myth in ancient Egypt as a contribution to comparative research. Applications of myth are reviewed in order to present a basic general typology of usages: from political, scholarly, ritual, and medical applications, through incorporation in images, to linguistic and literary exploitations. In its range of function and use, Egyptian myth is similar to that of other civilizations, except that written narratives appear to have developed relatively late. The many attested forms and uses underscore its flexibility, which has entailed many interpretations starting with assessments of the Osiris myth reported by Plutarch (2nd century AD). Myths conceptualize, describe, explain, and control the world, and they were adapted to an ever-changing reality. Fonctions et usages du mythe égyptien Cet article discute les fonctions et les usages du mythe en Égypte ancienne dans une perspective comparatiste et passe en revue ses applications, afin de proposer une typologie générale de ses usages – applications politiques, érudites, rituelles et médicales, incorporation dans des images, exploitation linguistique et littéraire. -
Egyptian Quiz
Glasgow Museums Resource Centre Ancient Egypt Quiz Notes Round 1 - Life in Ancient Egypt Question 1 The Nile is the longest river in the world at over 4000 miles long Question 2 Khemet - The Black Land, named after the black tar-like silt that was dredged up when the Nile flooded every year, bringing nutrients to the soil and allowing crops to grow Interesting point - the word ‘Deshret’ is where we get our word for ‘desert’ from Question 3 There are different ways of measuring it, but most scholars will say around 760 hieroglyphs Hieroglyphs can be read up, down, left and right - you look at which way the figures are looking to guide you. The figures will always be looking towards the beginning of the ‘sentence’. Object notes This limestone stela fragment was given to Glasgow Museums by Miss J. May Buchanan in 1912.It preserves parts of six columns of a hieroglyphic inscription separated by vertical lines. The surviving text is part of a hymn to the sun in the form of the god Ra-Horakhty, a combination of the sun-god, Ra, with the falcon god, Horus-of-the-Two-Horizons. The inscription reads: '[Giving praise to Ra]-Hor-akhty, when he goes to his rest in life in this his great mountain […] he says, ‘Hail to you, great one of the Ennead, who comes into being […] in peace to the land of the Western mountain […]' '[… when] he rises in the eastern horizon of the sky, by the servant / deputy […] praise […]' Hymns invoking Amun-Ra-Horakhty do not appear before the 20th Dynasty, suggesting a date of the 20th Dynasty for this fragment. -

One often-cited instance of such a change is the so-called democratization or demotization of the afterlife in the First Intermediate Period. This study examines the evidence for the development in question, concluding that no such change actually took place, albeit not for the reasons advanced by others who have arrived at the same conclusion previously. Based on the results obtained in the examination of this particular problem, a number of general points are then made about the methodology to be employed in the study of religious change in ancient Egypt as a whole. عرفت الديانة المصرية القديمة بكم من اﻹستمرارية بالرغم من حدوث بعض التغييرات بالدين من حين إلى آخر. ومن أحد ھذه التغييرات التي ُتذكر كثيراً ھي ديمقراطية الحياة ما بعد الموت التي ظھرت في عصر اﻹنتقال اﻷول. -

Egyptian Mythological Manuals
Egyptian Mythological Manuals Mythological structures and interpretative techniques in the Tebtunis Mythological manual, the manual of the Delta and related texts Jørgensen, Jens Kristoffer Blach Publication date: 2014 Document version Early version, also known as pre-print Citation for published version (APA): Jørgensen, J. K. B. (2014). Egyptian Mythological Manuals: Mythological structures and interpretative techniques in the Tebtunis Mythological manual, the manual of the Delta and related texts. Det Humanistiske Fakultet, Københavns Universitet. Download date: 27. sep.. 2021 Egyptian Mythological Manuals Mythological structures and interpretative techniques in the Tebtunis Mythological manual, the Manual of the Delta and related texts Jens Blach Jørgensen December 2013 Abstract This thesis consists of an analysis of two ancient Egyptian mythological manual; the Tebtunis Mythological Manual and the Mythological Manual of the Delta. The analysis is focused on the different modes of structuring and interpreting mythology found in the manuals. The first chapter is a critical overview of the different Egyptological theories on Egyptian mythology, with special emphasis on aetiological myth and etymology. Structuralist theories are drawn upon to formulate two approaches to the mythological material found in the manual and utilized by the Egyptians themselves, viz. the paradigmatic and the syntagmatic. The manuals are found to use model mythological narratives or key myths built upon the myths of the Heliopolitan Ennead to structure the wealth of local mythological traditions. This creates a redundant structure in which the mythology of the individual district becomes an echo or actualization of basic mythic patterns. The Delta manual demonstrates the heuristic nature of this system by adding an extra deity to the Ennead in the form of the female Horus. -

A New Approach to the Interpretation As to the Function of the Elevated Beds Discovered at Deir El-Medina
A NEW APPROACH OF IDENTIFING THE FUNCTION OF THE ELEVATED BEDS AT DEIR EL-MEDINA by MICHELLE LESLEY BROOKER A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (B) Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity The University of Birmingham 11/06/09 June 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This research consists of a different approach to the investigation of the elevated beds at Deir el-Medina. It identifies the underlining factors considered during their construction, where they were positioned, how they were orientated and what the surviving iconographies suggested about their original usage. It concludes with identifying the front rooms at Deir el-Medina as gardens. The frontal room is where the elevated beds were positioned and therefore link to the gardens symbolic meaning of resurrection and the afterlife. The elevated beds were orientated to symbolize the deceases’ connection with Re and Osiris. It also signifies a change after the Amarna period with an influx in Osiris worship. The iconographies surviving upon the elevated beds convey the deceased being reborn within the field of reeds signifying that the elevated beds were possibly used for altar purposes. -

Celestial correspondence: modern invention or Egyptian epiphany? by Judy Hall Downloaded from www.astrozero.co.uk This is version 1.0 of the document (created 5 July 2005); given both the antiquity and the sheer scope of its subject-matter, it is inevitable that there will be many suggestions for improvement which readers may want to make. The author invites all such comments, which can be forwarded to her via the above website. What is below is as that which is above, and what is above is as that which is below, in order to perform the miracle of one thing only. The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus (Trans.Lubicz quoting Huberlain, l7961) That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above, to accomplish the miracles of (the) one thing.
