After introducing the aims and motivation behind the volume, I present a concise summary of the key questions, investigation lines and major results of the volume’s contributions. These fall into four major thematic blocks. Three papers are primarily concerned with a re-evaluation of the material culture commemorating Udjahorresnet, three take up the question of his professional and social environment, four focus on Udjahorresnet as a cross-regional agent, while the last three draw on Udjahorresnet and the textual evidence on his naophorous statue in the Musei Vaticani as a historiographical mediator. The final section showcases synthetically the key advances in the study of Udjahorresnet and his world jointly achieved by the author collective. INTRODUCTION explicit one is the so-called Naoforo Vaticano , a Sixth-century BCE Egypt spawned a key figure of naophorous commemorative statue of him now in ancient cross-regional diplomacy.

  • Lecture on the Late Period the 26Th Dynasty
    Lecture on The Late Period the 27th Dynasty (the Persian Dynasty) The Twenty-Seventh Dynasty coincides with the First Persian Period (525-404 B. C.), which saw Egypt conquered by the Persian Empire under Cambyses, who placed Egypt under occupation and made it a satrapy of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The kings of the 27th Dynasty: 1. Cambyses II. He was the first ruler of Egypt under the Persian Dynasty. His father, Cyrus the Great, had earlier attempted an invasion of Egypt against Ahmose II of the 26th Dynasty, but the death of Cyrus put a halt to that expedition. • Cambyses II undertook building activities in Wadi Hammamat in the eastern desert and other Egyptian temples. • The disappearance of the army of Cambyses II (about 50, 000 men) remains veiled with secrets. All his army vanished in the Western Desert on their way to Siwa Oasis along with all their weapons and other equipment, never to be heard of again. The suggested reasons behind this action; • A.Maybe the priests of the oracle were posing a danger to Cambyses rule, encouraging revolt among the Egyptians. B.Perhaps the priests Celt angry that Cambyses II had not immediately sought their approval as Alexander the Great would do almost upon his arrival in Egypt. C.Another reason is that the army was to continue on after Siwa in order to attack the Libyans. • Cambyses II was buried in Iran. 2. Darius I: • He was the son of Cambyses II. He ordered the completion of the Hibis temple of god Amun at the Kharga Oasis.

  • Pharaoh Chronology (Pdf)
    Egypt's chronology in sync with the Holy Bible by Eve Engelbrite (c)2021, p1 Egypt's Chronology in Synchronization with the Bible This Egyptian chronology is based upon the historically accurate facts in the Holy Bible which are supported by archaeological evidence and challenge many assumptions. A major breakthrough was recognizing Joseph and Moses lived during the reigns of several pharaohs, not just one. During the 18th dynasty in which Joseph and Moses lived, the average reign was about 15 years; and Joseph lived 110 years and Moses lived 120 years. The last third of Moses' life was during the 19th dynasty. Though Rameses II had a reign of 66 years, the average reign of the other pharaohs was only seven years. Biblical chronology is superior to traditional Egyptian chronology Joseph was born in 1745 BC during the reign of Tao II. Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery (1728 BC), which was during the reign of Ahmose I, for the historically accurate amount of 20 pieces of silver.1 Moses (1571-1451 BC) was born 250 years after the death of the Hebrew patriarch, Abraham. Moses lived in Egypt and wrote extensively about his conversations and interactions with the pharaoh of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt; thus providing a primary source. The history of the Hebrews continued to be written by contemporaries for the next thousand years. These books (scrolls) were accurately copied and widely disseminated. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained 2,000 year old copies of every book of the Bible, except Esther, and the high accuracy of these copies to today's copies in original languages is truly astonishing.

  • THE SAITE PERIOD: the EMERGENCE of a Mediterranean Power
    THE SAITE PERIOD: THE EMERGENCE OF A MEDITERRANEAN POWER Damien Agut-Labordère preliminary remarks 1. Unless otherwise specified, all dates are B.C. 2. P. Louvre 7848, a document drafted in abnormal hieratic and dating from the year 12 of the reign of Amasis, indicates both solar and lunar dates, making it possible to synchronize the Egyptian calendar with the Julian calendar. Year 12 of the reign of Amasis thus runs from 10 January 559 to 9 January 558.1 The Saite dynastic list is thus: Psamtik I 664–610 Nekau II 610–595 Psamtik II 595–589 Apries 589–570 Amasis 570–526 Psamtik III 526–525 3. abbreviations: ar. = Aramaean dem. = demotic gr. = Greek ab. hierat. = abnormal hieratic O.P. = Old Persian The Saite period corresponds to the 26th Manethonian Dynasty, and covers approximately the century and a half of Egyptian history between two invasions from the East: that of the Assyrians in the first half of the seventh century, and that of the Persians in 526.2 The first invasion put an end to the Kushite domination of Egypt, while the second confirmed the domination of the Achaemenid Persians. In 570, a coup d’État by General Amasis interrupted the dynastic continuity and led to the overthrow of Apries. After his lengthy reign of 44 years, his son and successor Psamtik III reigned for only a few months before being overthrown by Cambyses. 1 R.A.

THE ACTORS Every name in this book is a genuine one from the classical world. Some are still in use. To this day there are people named Nicolaos. It’s also the origin of our Nicholas. Other names you might already know because they belong to famous people, such as Herodotus and Pericles. But some names from thousands of years ago are unusual to our modern eyes. I hope you’ll say each name however sounds happiest to you, and have fun reading the story. For those who’d like a little more guidance, I’ve sug- gested a way to say each name in the character list.
