Voor een kort verslag zie elders in het Mehen Nieuws. Dankzij Carla Meulstee begeeft Mehen zich nu ook op het pad van facebook. De pagina op facebook is: Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte. Recente ontdekkingen in Egypte Ondanks de roerige tijden in Egypte zijn er de laatste tijd een aantal spectaculaire ontdekkingen gedaan. Zo vond een Japans team, o.l.v. prof. Jiro Kondo, van het Instituut van Egyptologie, Wasada Universiteit te Tokio, een graf in el Chocha op de westoever van Luxor. De grafeigenaren zijn Chonsoe-em-heb (Chonsoe in feest) en zijn vrouw Moet-em-heb (Moet in feest). Hij was “eerste van de werkplaats van Moet” en “het hoofd van de brouwers van de tempel van Moet”. Zijn vrouw was “zangeres van Moet”, evenals hun dochter Isetcha. Het graf werd gevonden terwijl het Japanse team de voorhof van het graf van Oeserhat , opzichter van de appartementen van de koning, uit de regering van Amonhotep III (TT 47), aan het schoonmaken was.

  • 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.

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.

University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 24. 3 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT To date much scholarly attention has been paid to the development of the light spoke- wheeled chariot, its spread throughout the Near East, its design and uses. There has also been much concentration on the domestication of the horse and its proliferation through the ‘horse cultures” in those regions. Apart from the work of Rommelaere1 in the early 1990’s, interest in the Egyptian horse has been limited to short articles or sections of other works dealing mainly with chariots, where mention of the driving force behind the chariot – the horse has been brief. This work addresses this omission by reviewing the faunal, iconographic, textual and archaeological evidence for the horse in New Kingdom Egypt.

TOMBS with Dr Chris Naunton th DEPARTING 29 OCTOBER 2017 We begin in Cairo with visits to the Giza Plateau, Saqqara and Tanis, the Delta’s most impressive site. We journey to Alexandria to explore this historic city on the Mediterranean Coast. A highlight is the special AWT permit to visit Taposiris Magna, believed to be the burial site of Cleopatra and where excavations are still underway. We travel through Middle Egypt, viewing the colourful tombs at Beni Hassan, the city of Akhenaten and Nefertiti at Tel el Amarna and the remote tombs at Meir. On to Abydos where we see the most wonderful reliefs in Egypt on the walls of Seti I Temple. A fi rst for AWT, we include a private permit to enter the re-excavated Tomb of Senusret III at Abydos. Senusret’s tomb set at the edge of the desert in ‘Anubis Mountain’ is one of the largest royal tombs ever built in Ancient Egypt. The Penn Museum team are still excavating in the area. On arrival in Luxor we have arranged visits relevant to our tour theme, these include The Kings’ Valley, the West Valley, Deir el Medina, the Ramesseum, Medinet Habu and Hatshepsut’s Temple.
