Download date: 27. sep.. 2021 Egyptian Mythological Manuals Mythological structures and interpretative techniques in the Tebtunis Mythological manual, the Manual of the Delta and related texts Jens Blach Jørgensen December 2013 Abstract This thesis consists of an analysis of two ancient Egyptian mythological manual; the Tebtunis Mythological Manual and the Mythological Manual of the Delta. The analysis is focused on the different modes of structuring and interpreting mythology found in the manuals. The first chapter is a critical overview of the different Egyptological theories on Egyptian mythology, with special emphasis on aetiological myth and etymology. Structuralist theories are drawn upon to formulate two approaches to the mythological material found in the manual and utilized by the Egyptians themselves, viz. the paradigmatic and the syntagmatic. The manuals are found to use model mythological narratives or key myths built upon the myths of the Heliopolitan Ennead to structure the wealth of local mythological traditions. This creates a redundant structure in which the mythology of the individual district becomes an echo or actualization of basic mythic patterns. The Delta manual demonstrates the heuristic nature of this system by adding an extra deity to the Ennead in the form of the female Horus.

  • How Unapproachable Is a Pharaoh ?

    How Unapproachable Is a Pharaoh ?

    Originalveröffentlichung in: G.B. Lanfranchi, R. Rollinger, (Hg.), Concepts of Kingship in Antiquity. Proceedings of the European Science Foundation exploratory Workshop held in Padova, November 28th – December 1st, 2007, History of the Ancient Near East Monographs XI, Padua 2010, S. 1-14 HOW UNAPPROACHABLE IS A PHARAOH ? Joachim Friedrich Quack There has been a vast amount of study on the Egyptian concept of kingship.1 The question of his divinity has been one of the principal problems. Earlier studies normally attribute a specific divinity to the Egyptian King.2 Highly influential in bringing down such an approach was a study by George Posener who presented evidence which, in his eyes, spoke against an authentic divinity of the Pha­ raoh.3 Nowadays, there is a strong tendency to ascribe a more differentiated approach to the Egyptians: they are supposed to have considered the office itself as divine, but not the individual king.4 While such a picture might seem reasonable, it raises, at least with me, some uneasiness. Doesn't it smack too much like making the Ancient Egyptian civilisation palatable to a modern public by demolishing such a thing as the real divinity of a living human being which is so hard to swallow for modern minds? After all, the Egyptians themselves explicitly said about the king "he is not a man" (Edfou VI 301,13) The framework of this workshop does not allow more than a relatively short discussion, but that can be turned to an advantage by focussing on one specific aspect which has not been all that much in the focus of previous scholarship, instead of making a full­scale re­opening of the case on all fronts.
  • The Emergence of Sekhmet-Het Heru Arit Ra

    The Emergence of Sekhmet-Het Heru Arit Ra

    ODWIRAFO SEKHMET-HET HERU ARIT RA Sekhmet Whose Praise Name is Het Heru the Eye of Ra THE EMERGENCE OF SEKHMET Excerpt from the Book of the Heavenly Cow. Found in the tombs of Tut Ankh Amen, Seti and Ra Messu [In the language of Kamit, Ntoro (God) and Ntorot (Goddess), plural Ntorou and Ntorotu, are the Divine Spirit Forces in Creation.] Ra (rah’) is the Creator, the Ntoro (God) Who brought Himself into being. It happened that after He had assumed the sovereignty over men and women, Ntorotu and Ntorou (Goddess and Gods) and Creation, certain men and women were speaking words of complaint against Uati [The Unique One - Ra], saying: “Look, His Majesty (Life, Strength, Health) has grown old. His bones have become like silver, His members like gold and His hair is like real lapis-lazuli.” His Majesty heard the words of complaint which these men and women were speaking. His Majesty (Life, Strength, and Health) said to those who were in his following: “Call, bring to me my Arit [Eye]and Shu and Tefnut, Seb and Nut and the Fathers and Mothers who were with me when I was in Nu together with my Father, the Ntoro (God) Nu. Let Him bring His councilors with Him. Let them be brought together in secret, so that those men and women may not perceive them and therefore take to flight with their hearts in fear. 1 You come with them to the Great House, and let them declare their counsel fully, for I will go to Nu into the place wherein I brought about my own existence, so let those Ntorotu and Ntorou (Goddesses and Gods) be brought to me there.” Now, the Ntorotu and Ntorou were drawn up on both sides of Ra and they bowed down before His Majesty until their heads touched the ground.

  • Emotions and Deities in Ancient Egypt D

    Emotions and Deities in Ancient Egypt D

    دراﺳﺎت ﻓﻲ آﺛﺎر اﻟوطن اﻟﻌرﺑﻲ 16 Emotions and Deities in Ancient Egypt D. Randa Baligh Emotions are strong feelings which excite a great reaction in most cases. They include fear, anger, happiness, hatred, shame and pride. In this paper we shall try to examine the different terms which express emotions and see how the Egyptians and their deities dealt with them. Emotions are a main feature of living beings, not just for people, but all kinds of living beings such as animals, and even plants which have been found to show certain physiological changes when confronted by traumatic events. A scientific experiment measured great agitation in a plant when a lobster was boiled alive next to it. Plants and animals also respond negatively to loud noises and strife in an area. Although it is only natural for living beings to experience different emotions, the concepts of emotions and how to express them or even experience them, may have differed slightly in the ancient Egyptian mind. The relative differences may arise from variants such as physiological changes or cultural differences. Our knowledge of emotions in ancient Egypt comes mainly from written texts where different emotions were expressed. As for the deities, they displayed certain emotions which were recorded in written texts. The paper will attempt to see emotions and how they were recorded, particularly in relation to the gods. Fear: Fear is one of the basic emotions felt by all living beings. It is far more basic than other emotions which require complex cognitive analyses. All beings fear certain things. In most of the literary texts, fear is expressed in relation to the gods with words that either imply that the people fear them, or it may imply that gods implant the fear of others such as the king or a powerful nation, in others.

Literature in the narrow sense of aesthetic or fictional texts will be called belles-lettres. These texts are called “literary texts” in con­ trast to “nonliterary texts,” which constitute the body of “functional literature.” The criterion for attributing texts to one or the other corpus is their functional fixity. While some texts are meant to serve only one well-determined function, as is the case with magical spells or biographical tomb inscriptions, others, such as narratives, harpers songs, and wisdom texts, may serve several functions. The latter appear in different contexts because they are func­ tionally nonspecific, that is, not permanently bound to a single context. This functional nonspecificity is our main criterion for determining the “literaticity” of a text, re­ gardless whether it exhibits poetic form (“poeticity”) °r not (Assmann and Assmann 1983: 269-74). Poetic texts EGYPTIAN LANGUAGE. See LANGUAGES may in fact be found within both belles-lettres and “func­ (EGYPTIAN).

The narrative is embedded in the so-called Book of the Heavenly Cow , which is preserved in several versions dating to the New Kingdom. It is an etiological myth explaining the origins of certain natural phenomena and religious festivals as well as legitimizing the institution of Egyptian kingship. << أرة ا ة او >> ه ا#"ان ا ي رة د ا إ* ا() وا.ي - ,"* أن أ,د إ* ا() "'& ا%ن .
