  • Die Harmonischen Abmessungen Aller Pyramidions Sind Jetzt Gefunden
    Friedrich Wilhelm Korff (Philosophisches Seminar der Universität Hannover) Die harmonischen Abmessungen aller Pyramidions sind jetzt gefunden! Ein Erlebnisbericht für Rainer Stadelmann, Jan Assmann und seine Heidelberger Studenten der Ägyptologie 7. - 18. 12. 2010 Seit ich aus Ägypten zurück bin und mich in die Kälte hier ( - 13°) kaum eingewöhnt habe, möchte ich Ihnen zu Beginn des Advents erzählen, wie es mir in Kairo am 29. 10. 2010 ergangen ist. Bevor ich noch den Museumsbesuch wagte, spürte ich doch die Stunde der Wahrheit gekommen, da ich erfahren würde, ob meine schon veröffentlichte Behauptung zuträfe, die Basis des PYRAMIDION AMENEMHET III. (Dahshur) sei nicht 1,87 m, wie mein Rezensent Frank Müller - Römer aus der Literatur behauptete, sondern ich hielt dagegen, sie müsse 1,875 m lang sein, eben weil die Länge 11x17 = 187 cm unmöglich aus dem ägyptischen Meß- und Maßsystem abzuleiten ist. Dieses System wie auch das der bei Ptolemaios überlieferten Tonarten, deren Intervalle die Neigungen der Pyramiden hervorbringen, sieht doch nur Kombinationen aus den ersten fünf Primzahlen (1,2,3,5,7) vor. Und das ist bei 187,5 4 cm (3 x 5 /(2 x 5) = 187,5 cm der Fall. Die empirische Messung (1,87 m) aus den achtziger Jahren des 19. Jh. war ungenau. Wie tatsächlich in der Literatur angegeben, konnten es nur 3 4/7 Ellen oder (3 4/7) x 7 = 25 ganzzahlige Handbreit sein, und 3 4/7 Ellen x 0,525 m, errechnet mit dem Metermaß der Königselle, sind 1,875 m. Nur die Hälfte (12 Vi H) der Basislänge, mit dem Rücksprung (10/7) multipliziert, keine andere Länge ergab die Höhe von (12 Vi) x 10/7 =17 6/7 Handbreit, die den Rücksprung(17 6/7)/(12 Vi) = 10/7 bestätigte.

  • PYRAMIDS and ZIGGURATS AS the ARCHITECTONIC REPRESENTATIONS of the ARCHETYPE of the COSMIC MOUNTAIN. Part I
    I Andrzej WIERCINSKI, Warszawa PYRAMIDS AND ZIGGURATS AS THE ARCHITECTONIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ARCHETYPE OF THE COSMIC MOUNTAIN. Part I "Is there a man of you who by anxious thought can add a cubit to the age of his life? "(The Gospel of St. Matthew, 6, 27, according to Greek text) 1. Explanation of the problem The astrobiological religion played the role of a main ideological system which regulated societies of the formative-theocratic phase of cultural development of mankind which was distinguished by the rise of cultic centers of the monumental architecture. The latter ones were the cores of early urbanisation process. This religion has precised a model of the world with well defined position of man within it, and the sense of his activities. Its essence consisted of a dynamical and informational principle of transformation of an Absolute One into pairs of polarised opposites which, in turn, create an universal frame of reference of Cardinal Points organizing the time-spatial order of rhythmically repeating and mutually synchron­ ised cosmic, biological and socio-cultural processes and, at last, the psychic processes of the human individual. All these was vivified, personificated and deified ( for the main assumtions of the model see: A. Wiercinski, 19761 ). The astrobiological model of the world and man was statically patterned in mutually equivalent, due to a symbolical analogisation, archetypical (in Jungian sense) and iconic-numerical representations. Among them, the main position has been occupied by: the Cosmic Mountain, the Cosmic Tree � Cosmic Ladder � Cosmic Pillar, the Mandala, the Cosmic Man� man as Microcosmos and, © Del documento, los autores.

    Location of the Old Kingdom Pyramids in Egypt Miroslav Bârta The principal factors influencing the location of the Old Kingdom pyramids in Egypt are reconsidered. The decisive factors influencing their distribution over an area of c. eighty kilometres were essentially of economic, géomorphologie, socio-political and unavoidably also of religious nature. Primary importance is to be attributed to the existence of the Old Kingdom capital of Egypt, Memphis, which was a central place with regard to the Old Kingdom pyramid fields. Its economic potential and primacy in the largely redistribution- driven state economy sustained construction of the vast majority of the pyramid complexes in its vicinity. The location of the remaining number of the Old Kingdom pyramids, including many of the largest ever built, is explained using primarily archaeological evidence. It is claimed that the major factors influencing their location lie in the sphere of general trends governing ancient Egyptian society of the period. For millennia, megaliths and monumental arts were pyramids see Edwards 1993; Fakhry 1961; Hawass commissioned by the local chieftains and later by the 2003; Lehner 1997; Stadelmann 1985; 1990; Vallogia kings of Egypt. The ideological reasons connected 2001; Verner 2002; Dodson 2003). The reasons that may with the construction and symbolism of the pyra­ be put forward to explain their location and arrange­ mids were manifold, and in most cases obvious: the ment are numerous but may be divided into two basic manifestation of power, status and supremacy over groups: practical and religious. It will be argued that the territory and population, the connection with the whereas the general pattern in the distribution of the sacred world and the unlimited authority of the rulers pyramid sites may be due mainly to practical reasons, (O'Connor & Silverman 1995).

One often-cited instance of such a change is the so-called democratization or demotization of the afterlife in the First Intermediate Period. This study examines the evidence for the development in question, concluding that no such change actually took place, albeit not for the reasons advanced by others who have arrived at the same conclusion previously. Based on the results obtained in the examination of this particular problem, a number of general points are then made about the methodology to be employed in the study of religious change in ancient Egypt as a whole. عرفت الديانة المصرية القديمة بكم من اﻹستمرارية بالرغم من حدوث بعض التغييرات بالدين من حين إلى آخر. ومن أحد ھذه التغييرات التي ُتذكر كثيراً ھي ديمقراطية الحياة ما بعد الموت التي ظھرت في عصر اﻹنتقال اﻷول.

  • Specular Reflection from the Great Pyramid at Giza
    Specular Reflection from the Great Pyramid at Giza Donald E. Jennings Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, USA (retired) email: [email protected] Posted to arXiv: physics.hist-ph April 6, 2021 Abstract The pyramids of ancient Egypt are said to have shone brilliantly in the sun. Surfaces of polished limestone would not only have reflected diffusely in all directions, but would also likely have produced specular reflections in particular directions. Reflections toward points on the horizon would have been visible from large distances. On a particular day and time when the sun was properly situated, an observer stationed at a distant site would have seen a momentary flash as the sun’s reflection moved across the face of the pyramid. The positions of the sun that are reflected to the horizon are confined to narrow arcs in the sky, one arc for each side of the pyramid. We model specular reflections from the pyramid of Khufu and derive the annual dates and times when they would have been visible at important ancient sites. Certain of these events might have coincided with significant dates on the Egyptian calendar, as well as with solar equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter days. The celebration of Wepet-Renpet, which at the time of the pyramid’s construction occurred near the spring cross-quarter day, would have been marked by a specular sweep of sites on the southern horizon. On the autumn and winter cross-quarter days reflections would have been directed to Heliopolis. We suggest that on those days the pyramidion of Khafre might have been visible in specular reflection over the truncated top of Khufu’s pyramid.

Superb works of art, some in mint condition – but questions about them remain to be asked, in particular as to their original number and significance. The author assesses the evidence. Late 18th dynasty harems Lise Manniche The Amarna correspondence reveals exciting aspects of the rhetoric among sovereigns in the Near East in the late 18th dynasty, and it also provides a unique insight into human resources in the institution of an Egyptian harem. Pictorial and other evidence, however disjointed, adds to our understanding of its significance which was not solely aimed at the sexual gratification of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt.

  • Hawara & Meidum Add-On
    Hawara & Meidum add-on (day 1 of the tour) - $195 per person Do you want to see even more pyramids in Egypt? For the guests who would like to arrive one day early, we prepared a trip to Hawara and Meidum pyramids. On that day we normally organize reception at the airport for the arriving guests, but you will drive towards Faiyum oasis and make a stop in Meidum. In many ways, Meidum, built for pharaoh Snefru, is the most mysterious of all the great Pyramids. It is often known as the "collapsed pyramid" because of its ruined state. It seems to have been designed as a seven step pyramid with a further step being added once construction was in a fairly advanced stage. It was then turned into the first true pyramid by filing in the steps and capping them with limestone. No sarcophagus was found inside the chamber and there is no evidence that Snefru or anyone else was ever buried in this pyramid. We will enter inside the pyramid and later we will also visit a nearby mastaba of an unknown noble which can be entered via a robber's tunnel. The burial chamber contains the first example of a red granite sarcophagus known in antiquity. After the visit in Meidum, we will drive south to see the Hawara pyramid. The pyramid stands in the north of an elaborate complex enclosed by a wall measuring 385 by 158 meters. This makes the Hawara complex the largest Middle Kingdom funerary complex. The entrance was located at the southern corner of the east wall.
