Who Was Who at Amarna
1 Who was Who at Amarna Akhenaten’s predecessors Amenhotep III: Akhenaten’s father, who ruled for nearly 40 years during the peak of Egypt’s New Kingdom empire. One of ancient Egypt’s most prolific builders, he is also known for his interest in the solar cult and promotion of divine kingship. He was buried in WV22 at Thebes, his mummy later cached with other royal mummies in the Tomb of Amenhotep II (KV 35) in the Valley of the Kings. Tiye: Amenhotep III’s chief wife and the mother of Akhenaten. Her parents Yuya and Tjuyu were from the region of modern Akhmim in Egypt’s south. She may have lived out her later years at Akhetaten and died in the 14th year of Akhenaten’s reign. Funerary equipment found in the Amarna Royal Tomb suggests she was originally buried there, although her mummy was later moved to Luxor and is perhaps to be identified as the ‘elder lady’ from the KV35 cache. Akhenaten and his family Akhenaten: Son and successor of Amenhotep III, known for his belief in a single solar god, the Aten. He spent most of his reign at Akhetaten (modern Amarna), the sacred city he created for the Aten. Akhenaten died of causes now unknown in the 17th year of his reign and was buried in the Amarna Royal Tomb. His body was probably relocated to Thebes and may be the enigmatic mummy recovered in the early 20th century in tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings. Nefertiti: Akhenaten’s principal queen. Little is known of her background, although she may also have come from Akhmim. -

The Symbolism and Function of the Window of Appearance in the Amarna Period*1
FOLIA PRAEHISTORICA POSNANIENSIA T. XXIV – 2019 WYDZIAŁ ARCHEOLOGII, UAM POZNAŃ – ISSN 0239-8524 http://dx.doi.org/10.14746/fpp.2019.24.05 THE SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTION OF THE WINDOW OF APPEARANCE IN THE AMARNA PERIOD*1 SYMBOLIZM I FUNKCJA OKNA POJAWIEŃ W OKRESIE AMARNEŃSKIM Maria M. Kloska orcid.org/0000-0003-4822-8891 Wydział Historii, Uniwersytet im. A. Mickiewicza ul. Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 7, 61-614 Poznań [email protected] ABSTRACT: During the reign of the Amarna spouses, giving gold necklaces to royal officials took place (almost always) from the so-called Window of Appearance. From them, Akhenaten and Nefertiti, often with princesses, honoured deserved and devoted dignitaries. The popularity of the Window of Appearance closely relates to the introduction of a new religious system introduced by Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Ac- cording to the new religion, Akhenaten and Nefertiti were a pair of divine twins like Shu and Tefnut, who in the Heliopolitan theology, were the children of the god Atum – replaced by Aten in Amarna. The royal couple prayed to the main solar god, while their subjects prayed to the king and queen. Since Akhenaten per- formed the role of a priest through whom ordinary people could pray to the god, it was necessary to create a construction that would allow the king to meet with his subjects publicly. The Window of Appearance was such architectural innovation. It was crucial because the king was an intermediator between the peo- ple and the only right sun god, Aten. The Windows of Appearance were probably located in various places in Akhetaten, including the Great Palace, the King’s House, the North Palace, the Small Aten Temple and in the temples of the Sunshades of Re in the Kom el-Nana and Maru-Aten. -

1 - About the Way That These Men Presented Themselves in Texts, They Claimed to Do the Kinds of Things That a King Might Do
Fatma Ismail: Today we are discussing the aftermath of King Tutankhamun's reign with Dr. Maggie Bryson. She specializes in the history and art of the later new kingdom and is currently preparing a book on the reign of the general turned Pharaoh Horemheb. Thank you so much for agreeing to do this interview with us today at ARCE, Maggie. This is an extra special time that we get with you knowing that your due date is a week from today. Maggie Bryson: Hi Fatma, it's really good to talk to you. Thanks for having me. Ismail: As someone who has studied the history of the end of the 18th dynasty, can you tell us about what you think happened after King Tutankhamun died? Was there a struggle for the throne? Bryson: If anything, it almost seems as though there may have been a struggle for the throne brewing before Tutankhamun had died. It's odd because looking back on it, it seems that there wouldn't have been any way to know what the succession would look like after Tutankhamun. But already during his reign, powerful men, powerful officials, held an amount of influence that was, you know, to some extent unprecedented in Egyptian history. We have the famous men behind the throne, the three men who were sort of the inner circle of Tutankhamun, the General Horemheb, the advisor Ay, and treasurer, Maya. And these men held not just real political influence, to an extraordinary degree, but they also had a degree of visibility, a degree of prestige, that was very unusual for officials in ancient Egypt, where the king, of course, was normally the conceptual center of the universe. -
Akhenaton and the Amarna Period Akhenaten Was a Pharaoh of The
Akhenaton and the Amarna Period Akhenaten was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who is best known for ushering in a distinctly new art style known as Amarna Art. Figure 1: Akhenaten, Nefertiti and their children This relief illustrates an intimate portrait of Akhenaten and his family in the Amarna style of art. The Amarna Period was centered around the capital city of Amarna and noted for its artistic style, which drastically shifted from conventional styles of art. The human body in the Amarna style is portrayed more realistically, rather than idealistically, though at times depictions border on caricature. Common features are an elongation and narrowing of the neck, a sloping of the forehead and nose, a prominent chin, large ears and lips, spindle-like arms and calves and large thighs, stomachs, and hips. The decoration of the tombs of non-royals was quite different from previous eras, and clearly worshiped the Aten over other gods and goddesses. Not many buildings from this period have survived the ravages of later kings, partially as they were constructed out of standard-size blocks which were very easy to remove and reuse. Much of what we know of the Amarna period today comes from the discovery of the Amarna Letters: a cache of over 300 tablets recording select diplomatic correspondence of the Pharaoh. Note: Polytheism is the belief in the existence of many gods. Monotheism is believing in a single god, deity, spirit, etc., especially for an organized religion, faith, or creed. A lingua franca is a common language used by people of diverse backgrounds to communicate with one another, often a basic form of speech with simplified grammar. -
Crowns and Headdresses in Ancient Egypt
Crowns and Headdresses in Ancient Egypt Task 1- read the information about the different crowns and headdresses In ancient Egypt, crowns and headdresses were used: • to show that someone was powerful; • to make pictures of gods and rulers recognisable; Ancient Egyptian pharaohs wore different crowns for • for religious ceremonies. different occasions and to show their loyalty to certain gods. Let’s take a look at some of the most famous ones. Did You Know…? No crown from a pharaoh has ever been found by archaeologists. It is likely that they were made from delicate materials such as fabric, leather or papyrus. Our best source of information is the paintings and carvings of gods and rulers that have survived. (This information links with our last history lesson about sources of evidence) Deshret: The Red Crown • The Deshret was a high-backed crown which showed that the wearer was the ruler of Lower Egypt. It is thought that it was made from fabric or leather and had a copper or wire spiral. • The red crown was the symbol of the goddess Neith, who was the patron of the city of Sais in Lower Egypt. • Lower Egypt is the area around the Nile delta in the north of the country. Hedjet: The White Crown • The white crown is also known as the Hedjet. It is tall with a rounded end and was probably made out of cloth or felt. • The white crown was worn by rulers of Upper Egypt (the south). It had a special association with the goddess Nekhbet, the white vulture goddess and protector of pharaohs. -

Although substantial evidence for this period has been preserved, it is inconclusive on many important details. Nonetheless, the revolutionary nature of Akhenaten’s rule is salient to the modern student of ancient Egypt. The king’s devotion to and promotion of only one deity, the sun disk Aten, is a break from traditional Egyptian religion. Many theories developed about this era are often influenced by the history of its rediscovery and by recognition that Akhenaten’s immediate successors rejected his rule. ﺗﻌﺘﺒﺮ ﻓﺘﺮة ﺣﻜﻢ اﻟﻤﻠ��ﻚ اﺧﻨ��ﺎﺗﻮن / أﻣﻨﺤﻮﺗ��ﺐ اﻟﺮاﺑﻊ ﻣﻦ اﻟﻔﺘﺮات اﻟﻤﺜﯿﺮة ﻟﻠﺠ��ﺪل ، وﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺮﻏﻢ ﻣﻦ وﺟﻮد أدﻟﺔ ﻗﻮﯾﺔ ﻣﺤﻔﻮظﺔ ﺗﺸ���ﯿﺮ إﻟﻰ ﺗﻠﻚ اﻟﺤﻘﺒﺔ اﻟﺘﺎرﯾﺨﯿﺔ ، إﻻ اﻧﮭﺎ ﻏﯿﺮ ﺣﺎﺳ���ﻤﺔ ﻟﻌﺪد ﻣﻦ اﻟﺘﻔﺎﺻ���ﯿﻞ اﻟﻤﮭﻤﺔ ، وﻣﻊ ذﻟﻚ ، ﻓﺈن اﻟﻄﺒﯿﻌﺔ اﻟﺜﻮرﯾﺔ ﻟﺤﻜﻢ اﻟﻤﻠﻚ اﺧﻨﺎﺗﻮن ھﻲ اﻟﺸ������ﺊ اﻟﻤﻠﺤﻮظ واﻟﺒﺎرز ﻟﻠﻄﺎﻟﺐ اﻟﺤﺪﯾﺚ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺼ����ﺮ اﻟﻘﺪﯾﻤﺔ.
