  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised. This is important During the past century some scholars have when considering the relationship between Egyptian proposed new ways of dating the events of ancient history and the Tower of Babel. The traditional dating history before c. 700 BC.1 In 1991 a book entitled of Ancient Egyptian chronology places its earliest Centuries of Darkness by Peter James and four of dynasties before the biblical dates of the Flood and his colleagues shook the very foundations of ancient confusion of the languages at Babel.

  • A Nome Procession from the Royal Cult Complex in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari 20 O B
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVII 2014 O B A Nome Procession from the Royal Cult Complex in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari 20 O B The term ‘nome procession’ refers to an iconographic sequence of nome personifi cations depicted mostly on the lowest level of temples or shrines. The fi gures are usually represented in a procession around the edifi ce, bringing offerings for the cult of the deity or the king worshiped inside. They follow the geographic order from south to north, in line with the traditional Egyptian system of orientation which gives precedence to the southern direction.1 The present study deals with one such procession of nome personifi cations represented in the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari. The scene in question covers the eastern wall of a small, open courtyard in the Complex of the Royal Cult situated south of the main Upper Courtyard of the Temple. The small court precedes two vestibules which further lead to adjacent two cult chapels. The bigger vestibule, belonging to the Chapel of Hatshepsut, is attached to the southern side of the courtyard, whereas on the western side of the latter lie the second, much smaller vestibule and a cult chapel dedicated to the Queen’s father, Tuthmosis I. From the architectural point of view, the eastern wall of the small courtyard partly delimits the Royal Cult Complex from the east. Iconographically, the whole eastern wall of the Complex is divided into two sections, each one belonging to a different piece of this cultic compound: the northern part, decorated in sunken relief, stretches for 3.71m (which equals 7 cubits) and belongs to the said small courtyard; the southern section – 5.81m long (approx.
