  • The Forgotten Female Figurines of Elephantine
    Journal of Journal of Ancient near Ancient Near Eastern Eastern Religions 18 (2018) 111–132 Religions brill.com/jane The Forgotten Female Figurines of Elephantine Collin Cornell* Sewanee: The University of the South [email protected] Abstract In spite of renewed scholarly interest in the religion of Judeans living on the island of Elephantine during the Persian period, only one recent study has addressed the religious significance of the fired clay female figurines discovered there. The present article seeks to place these objects back on the research agenda. After summarizing the history of research, it also makes a new appraisal of the role of these objects in the religious life of Elephantine Judeans. Two factors prompt this reevaluation: first, newly found examples of the same figurine types; and second, Bob Becking’s recent research on Elephantine Aramaic texts attesting the phenomenon of “lending deities.” Keywords early Judaism – goddesses – Elephantine – Persian Period – Old Testament – Bob Becking The interest of Elephantine to the study of early Judaism is patent. In the fifth century BCE, during the same era that Ezra the Scribe reportedly read “the book of the law of Moses” to the Judean community in Jerusalem (Neh 8), another Judean community was living on an island at the southernmost border * My thanks to the Tam Institute of Jewish Studies at Emory University for awarding me the Schatten Student Grant, which enabled me to examine the Elephantine shrine plaque in person at the Egyptian Museum of Berlin (Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung Staatliche Museen zu Berlin-Preußischer Kulturbesitz) in summer 2017. Thanks also to Josefine Kuckertz for her correspondence and for notifying me that the Berlin Museum might possess the shrine plaque; to Olivia Zorn and Frank Marohn for their generous museological help; and to Elizabeth Waraksa, Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, Ryan Thomas, Gard Granerød, and Bob Becking for providing insightful feedback on various drafts of the present article.

  • An Evaluation of Two Recent Theories Concerning the Narmer Palette1
    Eras Edition 8, November 2006 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/eras An Evaluation of Two Recent Theories Concerning the Narmer Palette1 Benjamin P. Suelzle (Monash University) Abstract: The Narmer Palette is one of the most significant and controversial of the decorated artefacts that have been recovered from the Egyptian Protodynastic period. This article evaluates the arguments of Alan R. Schulman and Jan Assmann, when these arguments dwell on the possible historicity of the palette’s decorative features. These two arguments shall be placed in a theoretical continuum. This continuum ranges from an almost total acceptance of the historical reality of the scenes depicted upon the Narmer Palette to an almost total rejection of an historical event or events that took place at the end of the Naqada IIIC1 period (3100-3000 BCE) and which could have formed the basis for the creation of the same scenes. I have adopted this methodological approach in order to establish whether the arguments of Assmann and Schulman have any theoretical similarities that can be used to locate more accurately the palette in its appropriate historical and ideological context. Five other decorated stone artefacts from the Protodynastic period will also be examined in order to provide historical comparisons between iconography from slightly earlier periods of Egyptian history and the scenes of royal violence found upon the Narmer Palette. Introduction and Methodology Artefacts of iconographical importance rarely survive intact into the present day. The Narmer Palette offers an illuminating opportunity to understand some of the ideological themes present during the political unification of Egypt at the end of the fourth millennium BCE.

Abstract Piety, Practice, and Politics: Ritual and Agency in the Late Bronze Southern Levant by Dana Douglas DePietro Doctor of Philosophy in Near Eastern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Marian Feldman, Chair Striking changes in the archaeological record of the southern Levant during the final years of the Late Bronze Age have long fascinated scholars interested in the region and period. Attempts to explain the emergence of new forms of Canaanite material culture have typically cited external factors such as Egyptian political domination as the driving force behind culture change, relying on theoretical models of acculturation, elite-emulation and center-periphery theory. While these approaches can be useful in explaining some dimensions of culture-contact, they are limited by their assumption of a unidirectional flow of power and influence from dominant core societies to passive peripheries.

  • Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt Until the End of the New Kingdom
    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City Vol. 1, Issue 1, June, 2017 Some Weapons of the Gods in Ancient Egypt until the End of the New Kingdom Dr. Iman Muhammad Ahmad El-Mahdy Associated Professor at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Tourism Guidance department - University of Sadat City Abstract This paper studies the appearance and role of some weapons which associated with the gods in ancient Egypt and shows its aspects and its scenes. The paper concluded that the physical weapons which appeared with the gods were used in the battles and conflicts from ancient times so most of the gods who used these weapons were represented in human form or in animal form with human hands holding the weapons. In addition to the physical weapons there were incorporeal weapons such as the magic. The hands and the wings were used also for protection. Keywords: Weapons, Gods, Ancient Egypt, New Kingdom. Introduction From most ancient times the Weapons were used in Egypt such as the spears, the battleaxe and the maces for the defense of the land as the scenes showed on the most ancient archaeological artifacts such as palettes, knives and maces but the ancient Egyptians sought the power and the support from their gods who supported and accompanied them with their weapons as it was appeared on the top of the lion and enemies palette where the standards of the gods with human hands leads the prisoners. (fig. 1). The study focuses on the association between some gods and some weapons such as knife, staves, bows, arrows, etc., and searches for this phenomenon in an attempt to understand and explain the motivation for using the weapons by the gods.

A. Harrell1 From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the construction material of choice for An- cient Egyptian temples, pyramids, and mastabas wherever limestone bedrock occurred, that is, along the Mediterranean coast, in the northern parts of the Western and Eastern Deserts, and in the Nile Valley between Cairo and Esna (fig. 1). Sandstone bedrock is present in the Nile Valley from Esna south into Sudan as well as in the adjacent deserts, and within this region it was the only building stone employed.2 Sandstone was also imported into the Nile Valley’s limestone region as far north as el-‘Sheikh Ibada and nearby el-‘Amarna, where it was used for New Kingdom tem- ples. There are sandstone temples further north in the Bahariya and Faiyum depressions, but these were built with local materials. The first large-scale use of sandstone occurred near Edfu in Upper Egypt, where it was employed for interior pavement and wall veneer in an Early Dynastic tomb at Hierakonpolis3 and also for a small 3rd Dynasty pyramid at Naga el-Goneima.4 Apart from this latter structure, the earliest use of sandstone in monumental architecture was for Middle Kingdom temples in the Abydos-Thebes region with the outstanding example the 11th Dynasty mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II (Nebhepetre) at Deir el-Bahri.
