At the end of four hundred thirty years , on that very day, all the companies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:40-41) “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring…The law, introduced 430 years later , does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.” (Galatians 3:16-17) 11 430 Years 400 Years 30 Years 60 Years 130 Years 210 Years Promises Isaac born Jacob born Jacob Exodus to Abraham into Egypt Gen. 12:1-3 Gen. 21:5 Gen. 25:26 Gen. 47:9 Ex. 12:40 Gen. 15:13 Gal. 3:16-17 12 Unravelling the Exodus By Dana Burkinshaw Route of the Exodus Location of the Red Sea Location of Mount Sinai Crossing Gulf of Suez?

In the Shadow of Osiris: Non-Royal Mortuary Landscapes at South Abydos During the Late Middle and New Kingdoms Abstract Kevin M. Cahail Dr. Josef W. Wegner The site of South Abydos was home to royal mortuary complexes of both the late Middle, and New Kingdoms, belonging to Senwosret III and Ahmose. Thanks to both recent and past excavations, both of these royal establishments are fairly well understood. Yet, we lack a clear picture of the mortuary practices of the non- royal individuals living and working in the shadow of these institutions. For both periods, the main question is where the tombs of the non-royal citizens might exist. Additionally for the Middle Kingdom is the related issue of how these people commemorated their dead ancestors. Divided into two parts, this dissertation looks at the ways in which non-royal individuals living at South Abydos during these two periods dealt with burial and funerary commemoration.

  • Crossing the Frontier Into the Desert: Egyptian Expeditions to the Sinai Peninsula
    9863-07_AncientW&E_01 07-11-2007 15:26 Pagina 1 doi: 10.2143/AWE.6.0.2022791 AWE 6 (2007) 1-22 CROSSING THE FRONTIER INTO THE DESERT: EGYPTIAN EXPEDITIONS TO THE SINAI PENINSULA Thomas HIKADE Abstract Ancient Egypt possessed two types of borders: a physical border and an ideological one. The first is defined by the desert to the east and west, the Mediterranean to the north, and the rapids of the First Cataract in the south. The role of the king was to expand the border, strengthen it and defend it against the chaos that might threaten Egypt from the other side of the border. The second border, the ideological border, can be detected in the way Egypt- ian society defined itself and how it portrayed foreigners. Apart from the ideological side there was the day-to-day experience of the Egyptian king, officials and to a lesser extent the wider population. The crown and court had to deal with foreigners and their customs in trade and diplomacy. With these contacts, naturally, the Egyptian ideology was faced with reality. These two sides can be labelled as topos, i.e. ideological expectations, and mimesis, actual responses to these expectations. The paper will examine this dualism using the expe- ditions to the western Sinai in the late 3rd and 2nd millennium BC. Introduction Borders and frontiers can be manifold. They can be natural like rivers or mountains or cultural and separating various groups of people. The former are usually perma- nent while the latter may change over time. Ancient Egypt possessed these two types of borders.

  • The King and His Office at the Beginning of the Second Intermediate Period Maha M
    Minia Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Research Vol. 1, Issue 2, December, 2016 The king and his office at the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period Maha M. Yehia Tourist Guidance Department, Faculty of Tourism and Hotels Management, Sadat City University The Second Intermediate Period SIP; is a period that extends from about 1700-1550 BC and includes the periods from the Thirteenth to the Seventeenth Dynasty. This period, the period of Egyptian history which were times of relative confusion and unclear; the end of the Dynasty Twelfth and the beginning of SIP is ambiguous; particularly the relationship between the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties is vague. The beginning of the SIP in ancient Egypt is still unclear; the King-lists; Turin, Sakkara, Abydos and Manetho, skipped names of some kings of this period and wrote the other, as a result the name of a king can be find in one list and omitted in the other. Moreover in the king list at Abydos, it has skipped the last queen of Twelfth Dynasty and all the rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty and the SIP, and start with Ahmose of the Eighteenth Dynasty as the king who ruled directly after Amenemhet IV.1 Other lists, which gave the names of the kings of the Thirteenth Dynasty to the end of the SIP, are fragmentary; thus the true chronology of this dynasty is difficult to be identified as there are few monuments dating from this period.2 Many of the king‟s names are only known from a fragmentary inscription or from scarabs.
