It is a duty to seek out those monuments left unpublished, or inadequately published, or thought not to be worthy of major attention, and to make sure that they give up all of their secrets before work is started on a fresh area of study. Conservation does not of necessity mean the work of the scientist and the stone-mason, but may also take the form of comprehensive publication, with drawings and photographs of every facet of the monument before it disappears. Happily, there are many examples of this nature of work in Egypt today, especially in Asasif, where the many large and at one time magnificent tombs of Dynasty XXVI are to be published in detail, with teams of archaeologists - many of them Austrian and German - co-operating by working on clearing them and preparing them for publication. Indeed, several have already found new fulfilment in extensive new publications. Similarly, the British are now starting work on a major survey of the ancient capital of Memphis, a task which has been sorely needed for almost a century; and the Americans are working on major new publications of the Old Kingdom tombs discovered by Reisner at Gizeh. So it is that, having realised that the important Dynasty XXVI tombs and other remains of Gizeh had not only suffered terrible damage in the past but were also continuing to feel the combined effects of the weather and the modern way of life, that I determined to bring them together into one comprehensive piece of work in order to rescue what is left from the ultimate fate of total destruction. My interest has centred particularly on the remarkable tomb-chapel of Thery, set on the southern slope of hills. 2 What I intend to do in this thesis is to confine myself largely to the Saite necropolis in Gizeh, and to set it in its place among the other Dynasty XXVI necropoles set throughout Egypt, as well as attempting to show the characteristics of the Gizeh flowering of that period by comparing it, especially through the tomb of Thery, with the architecture, the scenes and the inscriptions of the other great burial places. Thus the planned programme which I shall follow includes a defining of the history of the Gizeh necropolis itself, showing in which main periods the Plateau area was used for burials, and to follow that with a brief examination of the remainder of the Saite necropoles. It will be important to note the individual character of each of these other burial-places, and whether they bear overall Saite similarities or whether each has its own individual face. The main focus of the thesis, the tomb-chapel of Thery itself, will be examined in minute detail, with reference not only to today's remains still standing, but also to the reports of the early excavators, with a view to comparing its details of architecture, scenes and inscriptions with the characteristics of Saite tombs from up and down the Nile Valley. The aim is to achieve a synthesis of the Saite style of burial, and to test to what extent Thery's tomb follows a typically Saite pattern or follows the plans of a unique individual. As a by-product, much new light will be shed on the Saite use of the Gizeh necropolis, long thought of primarily if not exclusively as a burial-place of the Old Kingdom. It is my hope that this work will produce the evidence which will help to decide whether the Gizeh necropolis of the Saites may justly lay claim to ranking with the truly great Dynasty XXVI places of rest of Asasif and Saqqara. CHAPTER I Gizeh necropolis: its history 5 The history of the massive grave-field of Gizeh is long but by no means continuous: the popularity of the sweeping plateau and its spurs waxed and waned through the three thousand years of Egyptian history, from its apparent early use in the Archaic period about 3100 B.C. until the Romans dug their burial pits in the low range of hills south of the plateau itself. It was in these selfsame hills that Petrie1 discovered the earliest evidence for funerary use of what later became the country's most sacred burial place: some of the mud-brick mastabas of Dynasties I and II, such as the so-called "Covington's Tomb", were almost big enough to rival the enormous edifices of nearby Saqqara. But the zenith of popularity for Gizeh and its necropolis came after Khufu decided to use the imposing limestone plateau towering above the Nile to build his majestic monument for all the world 2 to see. The area quickly became what Reisner aptly described as "a great city of the living kas of all members of the royal family and court," and during the development of the Fourth Dynasty the tombs of the area became grouped into three great cemeteries: the western containing burials of the high priests and officials who had served Khufu; the eastern seemingly reserved for the royal families of the dynasty; and the central, developed slightly later, with the staff and followers of Khafre.

The surviving text is part of a hymn to the sun in the form of the god Ra-Horakhty, a combination of the sun-god, Ra, with the falcon god, Horus-of-the-Two-Horizons. The inscription reads: '[Giving praise to Ra]-Hor-akhty, when he goes to his rest in life in this his great mountain […] he says, ‘Hail to you, great one of the Ennead, who comes into being […] in peace to the land of the Western mountain […]' '[… when] he rises in the eastern horizon of the sky, by the servant / deputy […] praise […]' Hymns invoking Amun-Ra-Horakhty do not appear before the 20th Dynasty, suggesting a date of the 20th Dynasty for this fragment.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • Equivalency Values and the Command Economy of the Ur Iii Period in Mesopotamia
    CHAPTER 21 EQUIVALENCY VALUES AND THE COMMAND ECONOMY OF THE UR III PERIOD IN MESOPOTAMIA ROBERT K. ENGLUND UCLA Abstract The question of state imposition and monitoring of silver value equivalencies has fairly dom- inated discussions of the administrative history of late third-millennium B.C. Mesopotamia. A shekel of silver (ca. 8.33 g) fetched 300 liters of barley, 30 liters of fish oil, 10 liters of clarified butter, or a healthy sheep. Although silver was of imposing importance in mecha- nisms of exchange and wealth distribution within and across borders of ancient Babylonian states, central household accountants employed, with almost dizzying accuracy, a broad pal- ette of equivalencies as part of their means of control of production. These included value and real equivalencies between such raw materials and finished products as milk and cheese or barley and flour, but most notably labor norms that determined the success or failure of teams of dependent workers engaged in all aspects of early household production. This contribution offers an overview of all such equivalency values documented in Ur III cuneiform accounts dating to ca. 2050–2000 B.C. It follows the emergence of labor value abstraction up the line to potentially generalized silver “wages” that characterized administrative texts of the following Old Babylonian period, and it addresses the likelihood of the imposition by state bookkeepers of state-level equivalencies in determining so-called bala taxation obligations levied by Ur on various neo-Sumerian provinces. 427 428 THE CONSTRUCTION OF VALUE IN THE ANCIENT WORLD Introduction Equivalencies come in many guises. We might put one apple here and one over there and claim the two are equivalent; they are physically equivalent, give or take, but more importantly they will satisfy our senses, our hunger, and our appetite in equal measure.

  • The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Earth Wilbour Studies in Egypt and Ancient Western Asia
    THE ANCIEN THE Collections of scenes and texts designated variously as the “Book of the Earth,” “Creation of the Solar Disc,” and “Book of Aker” were inscribed on the walls of royal sarcophagus chambers throughout Egypt’s Ramesside period (Dynasties 19–20). This material illustrated discrete episodes from the The Ancient Egyptian nocturnal voyage of the sun god, which functioned as a model for the resurrection of the deceased T king. These earliest “Books of the Earth” employed mostly ad hoc arrangements of scenes, united E by shared elements of iconography, an overarching, bipartite symmetry of composition, and their GYP Books of the Earth frequent pairing with representations of the double sky overhead. From the Twenty-First Dynasty and later, selections of programmatic tableaux were adapted for use in private mortuary contexts, T I often in conjunction with innovative or previously unattested annotations. The present study collects A and analyzes all currently known Book of the Earth material, including discussions of iconography, BOOKSN OF by Joshua Aaron Roberson grammar, orthography, and architectural setting.

BOLESŁAW PRUS Faraon TOM III Czy prorocy podziemne świątyni sfinksa widzieli nowego władcę Egiptu, ak obozował pod piramidami, czy dali o nim znać do królewskiego pałacu, i — w aki uczynili to sposób? — nie wiadomo. Dość, że gdy Ramzes zbliżał się do przewozu, nadostonieszy arcykapłan Herhor kazał obudzić służbę pałacową, a gdy pan przepływał Nil, wszyscy kapłani, enerałowie¹ i dostonicy cywilni uż zgromadzili się w wielkie sali. Równo ze wschodem słońca Ramzes XIII na czele drobnego orszaku wechał w pała- cowy dziedziniec, gdzie służba upadła przed nim na twarz, a gwardia sprezentowała broń przy odgłosie trąb i bębnów. Powitawszy wosko, ego świątobliwość udał się do łazienki i wziął kąpiel przesyconą wonnościami. Następnie pozwolił uporządkować boskie włosy; lecz gdy yzer napokor- nie zapytał go: czy każe ogolić głowę i — zarost? — pan odrzekł: — Nie potrzeba. Nie estem kapłanem, tylko żołnierzem. Słowa te w chwilę późnie przeszły do sali audienconalne, w godzinę obiegły pa- łac, około południa rozniosły się po mieście Memfis, a nad wieczorem znane były we wszystkich świątyniach państwa, od Tami-n-hor² i Sabne-Chetam³ na północy do Su- unu⁴ i Pilak⁵ na południu. Na tę wieść nomarchowie, szlachta, wosko, lud i cudzoziemcy szaleli z radości, ale święty stan kapłański tym gorliwie obchodził żałobę po zmarłym faraonie. Wyszedłszy z kąpieli, ego świątobliwość przywdział krótką koszulę żołnierską w czar- ne i żółte pasy, na nią złoty napierśnik, na nogi sandały przywiązane rzemieniami, a na głowę płytki hełm z kolcem.
