  • God's Wife, God's Servant
    GOD’S wiFE, GOD’S seRVant Drawing on textual, iconographic and archaeological evidence, this book highlights a historically documented (but often ignored) instance, where five single women were elevated to a position of supreme religious authority. The women were Libyan and Nubian royal princesses who, consecutively, held the title of God’s Wife of Amun during the Egyptian Twenty-third to Twenty-sixth dynasties (c.754–525 bc). At a time of weakened royal authority, rulers turned to their daughters to establish and further their authority. Unmarried, the princess would be dispatched from her father’s distant political and administrative capital to Thebes, where she would reign supreme as a God’s Wife of Amun. While her title implied a marital union between the supreme solar deity Amun and a mortal woman, the God’s Wife was actively involved in temple ritual, where she participated in rituals that asserted the king’s territorial authority as well as Amun’s universal power. As the head of the Theban theocracy, the God’s Wife controlled one of the largest economic centers in Egypt: the vast temple estate at Karnak. Economic independence and religious authority spawned considerable political influence: a God’s Wife became instrumental in securing the loyalty of the Theban nobility for her father, the king. Yet, despite the religious, economic and political authority of the God’s Wives during this tumultuous period of Egyptian history, to date, these women have only received cursory attention from scholars of ancient Egypt. Tracing the evolution of the office of God’s Wife from its obscure origins in the Middle Kingdom to its demise shortly after the Persian conquest of Egypt in 525 bc, this book places these five women within the broader context of the politically volatile, turbulent seventh and eighth centuries bc, and examines how the women, and the religious institution they served, were manipulated to achieve political gain.

  • High Priestess in Mesopotamia (Ur, Ca. 2300-1100 BCE) and Egypt (Thebes, Ca
    King’s Daughter, God’s Wife: The Princess as High Priestess in Mesopotamia (Ur, ca. 2300-1100 BCE) and Egypt (Thebes, ca. 1550-525 BCE) Lloyd D. Graham Abstract The practice of a king appointing his daughter as the High Priestess and consort of an important male deity arose independently in the Ancient Near East and Egypt. In Mesopotamia, the prime example of such an appointee was the EN-priestess of Nanna (EPN), spouse of the moon-god Nanna/Sin at Ur; in Egypt, its most important embodiment was the God’s Wife of Amun (GWA), consort of the creator-god Amun(- Re) at Thebes. Both institutions operated – with interruptions and periods of uncertainty – for about a millennium (Ur, ca. 2288-1104 BCE; Thebes, ca. 1552-525 BCE). The office of EPN began strongly, with a peak period that lasted ca. 525 years, whereas the GWA’s heyday came at the end of its trajectory and lasted only half as long (ca. 265 years). In both cases, the incumbents were powerful royal figures who served as spiritual and economic leaders of their communities. The cultic roles of the EPN and GWA were similar, and the “god’s wife” role of both has attracted similar academic controversies over their sexual, marital and maternal status. This paper, which provides the first systematic comparison of the two institutions, focuses on comparing the two offices in their respective periods of peak strength. The analysis reveals that the High Priestesses were typically political appointments made in turbulent times, often to help the king secure control over a remote region and/or rival institution.

  • DECLINE in ANCIENT EGYPT? a REASSESSMENT of the LATE NEW KINGDOM and THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIOD By
    DECLINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT? A REASSESSMENT OF THE LATE NEW KINGDOM AND THIRD INTERMEDIATE PERIOD by EDWARD JAMES MUSHETT COLE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham February 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The late New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period (1215-650 BC) have been, and continue to be, interpreted as periods of decline and dramatic change within ancient Egyptian history. This thesis challenges such views through an analysis of those interpretations and the evidence used to support them. In so doing I have evaluated if these periods do reflect a decline from previous periods and if the changes were as all- encompassing as previously suggested. In order to carry out this evaluation three key processes have been examined through detailed analysis of related datasets. These will establish the complexity of the periods, and the potential for nuance within specific datasets which is masked by the current descriptions.
