DAHL, J. — the Ruling Family of Ur III Umma. a Prosopo
93248_BIOR_2010-1-2_01 08-06-2010 17:26 Pagina 56 107 BIBLIOTHECA ORIENTALIS LXVII N° 1-2, januari-april 2010 108 by the abundant documentation from Umma,1) and on the other hand by the fact that starting in the year Sulgi 33, the majority of the strategic offices were in the hands of one family that uninterruptedly controlled both provincial and temple households. Furthermore, Dahl proposes a model for understanding the genealogy of the royal family and other Ur III elite families, for which comparable data is not available. In chapters 1 and 2, after a brief introduction to the orga- nization of the Ur III state,2) the author describes the patterns of hereditary succession: lineal, when power is passed from generation to generation, versus non-lineal, or lateral, when power is passed within the same generation. Lineal succes- sion can be matrilineal or patrilineal, the latter can be further divided into succession by primogeniture and seniority. Dahl discusses the historicity of the so-called Sumerian King List and he questions whether the prevailing Mesopotamian sys- tem of succession, and in particular that adopted by the Third Dynasty of Ur, was strictly patrilineal primogeniture. Although all of the dynasties following the end of the Ur III reign adopted a lineal primogeniture pattern of succession, Dahl tentatively suggests that a system of seniority prevailed throughout the third millennium (p. 11). In chapter 3 Dahl provides an updated picture of the House of Ur-Namma, which lasted, according to Dahl, three gener- ations, Amar-Suen, Su-Suen and Ibbi-Suen possibly all being sons of Sulgi. -

The Elamite Family (The Royal Family, Adoptions)
Mundo Elamita 2016/2 THE ELAMITE FAMILY (THE ROYAL FAMILY, ADOPTIONS) Enrique Quintana Centr o de Estudios del Próximo Oriente y la A ntigüedad T ardía (CEPOAT) Universidad de Murcia (España) Centre for Near Eastern and Late Antiquity Studies (CEPOAT) University of Murcia (Spain) ABSTRACT The present topic is little known. No great interest has been dedicated to it. Only when studying the in herita nce right to the throne scholars have glancingly mentioned some thing about famil y relations. The ancient royal incest theory has attracted most attention. Royal marriage between brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son, has been in vogue among scholars, though not generally accepted. This theory, being definitely challenged and contested, due to the lack of any textual base, has not been followed nor incorporated. With the scarce documental sources at hand, the Elamite family is introduced unadorned. From the texts it appears a surprisingly monogamous ro yal Elamite family.

A Review and Analysis of Religious, Political and Social Structure of Elam
WALIA journal 31(S1): 133-140, 2015 Available online at www.Waliaj.com ISSN 1026-3861 © 2015 WALIA A Review and Analysis of Religious, Political and Social Structure of Elam Dr. Mohammad Taghi Fazeli 1,*, Mohammad Reza Masih Rad 2 1Department of Archaeology, Shushtar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shushtar, Iran 2M.A. Student of Ancient History of Iran, Shushtar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shushtar, Iran Abstract: Elamites had reigned from forth millennium to first millennium BC on a large part of southwest of Iran. For about 2500 years of a history full of conflicts, they could defeat invades of their powerful neighbors including Sumer, Akkad and Babylon and kept protected their independency and identity, but finally they assigned their reign to Assyrian. Elamites kept some features of their civilization including matriarchy system (transfer of king parentage from mother) and also their religion. The remained evidences show influence of Elamite religion on Elamite kings and people and they also show that Elamite religion has common points and discrete features with Mesopotamian religion. However, powerful state of Elam had continued for about 3000 years, from 3500 BC to 645 BC. Key words: Elam; Religion; Society; Politics; Sumer; Mesopotamia 1. Introduction state had continued for about 3000 years. Simultaneously with Sumerian, Elamites established *We have no accurate knowledge about cradle of their state or government which reigned on Elamites.

Their capital was šuša and (north of Persian Gulf) belonging to forth millennium their most important cities include Ahvaz and BC. -
Communication with the Divine in Ancient Egypt: Hearing Deities, Intermediary Statues and Sistrophores
COMMUNICATION WITH THE DIVINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT: HEARING DEITIES, INTERMEDIARY STATUES AND SISTROPHORES by ELEANOR BETH SIMMANCE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the desire for contact with deities in Egypt, the artistic and textual expression of which can be viewed as characteristic of ‘personal piety’. The attribution of hearing abilities to deities through epithets and phrases is evocative of human attempts to communicate with the divine sphere, and the Egyptian evidence is presented. A case study of so-called ‘intermediary statues’, which claim to facilitate communication between human and god, offers an opportunity to investigate how some members of the elite adapted their artistic output to take advantage of popular beliefs, furthering their own commemoration. Sistrophorous statues (bearing a naos-sistrum) are well-represented in the intermediary corpus, and their symbolism is explored alongside the significance of statue form and temple location in the context of communication with gods. -

Elamite Royal Inscriptions
CHAPTER TWENTY THREE ELAMITE ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS Florence Malbran- Labat LITERARY GENRE Royal inscriptions represent the literary genre through which the kings aimed at pro- claiming and preserving eternal memory of their piety and achievements. Four main types can be distinguished. a. Standard inscriptions , the simple signature of the king on an object offered to a deity; the royal name was sometimes followed by his titulary. b. Votive inscriptions (dedications), which, likewise, dedicate an object to a deity, but are more developed in content. They generally include the name of the deity, the name of the king who bene ted from the gift, the donor’s name (if not the king), the verb expressing the offering and, for longer texts, the circumstances, the motive of the offering (in general “life”, i.e. eternal life) and sometimes a curse against those who would attempt to damage it and/or an appeal for divine blessing. c. Foundation inscriptions , which, unlike the two previous types, are not related to a votive offering but are repeated identically on multiple exemplars (usually bricks) to commemorate the (re)construction of a temple, a palace, and so on. Included in the masonry of the building, they are not necessarily visible: they are primarily intended to be read by the gods or subsequent kings. The basic pattern includes the name of the king with titles and liation, the object of the construction and the verb relating to it, sometimes supplemented by the circumstances, the motivation of the builder and, more rarely, by a curse. When it is related to a temple, the inscription opens mostly with the name of the deity to whom the building is dedicated.
