  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

A ROYAL PORTRAIT HEAD IN THE COLLECTION OF THE MICHAEL C. CARLOS MUSEUM AT EMORY UNIVERSITY by KAREN MARGARET BRYSON Under the Direction of Dr. Melinda Hartwig ABSTRACT This thesis discusses a small, red granite, Egyptian royal portrait head in the collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The head is determined to be a fragment from a group depicting the king in front of the monumental figure of a divine animal, probably a ram or baboon. Scholars have attributed the head to the reigns of various New Kingdom pharaohs, including Horemheb and Seti I, but on more careful examination its style demonstrates that it dates to the reign of Ramesses II (1304-1237 B.C.).

    Journal of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels-University of Sadat City, Vol. 5, Issue (1/1), June, 2021 The Diplomatic Role of the Royal Women in ancient Egypt Amal Nadi Shoeib1 Magdi Fekri1 Manal Massaud1 1Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, University of Sadat City Abstract Continuing in believing in the idea that our present is an extension of our past, and by searching in the ancient Egyptian history of Egypt which provides an overall view of the nation in good times and in bad. The study tried to emphasis the vital diplomatic role of the ancient Egyptian woman such as Queen Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti, Nefertari, and many other queens had also diplomatic role. One of them applied the sisterhood exactly like the brotherhood between kings, another queen ruled and took decision with her husband and the other depicted herself on the walls as a victorious on her enemy. Keywords: Royal wives and mothers, Foreigner wives, Interior diplomacy. Introduction In ancient Egypt a woman was accorded a relatively high social status. As in any country, at any period of time, mothers of families exercised a degree of authority in the home and commanded a special place in society at large.1 “The ancient Egyptian women in general were able to exert a certain amount of influence outside the domestic sphere ''. This was largely due to the fact that all landed property was passed down through the female line from mother to daughter 2, the reason for such a rule seems to have been based on the assumption that one can be certain only of who one‟s mother is.

  • EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY EGYPTIAN ROYAL ANCESTRY Abt. 1600–800, 305-30 BC Great Pyramid, Egypt 1 INTRODUCTION “Egypt is a gift from Nile” was the first we learned in grade school about Egypt. In genealogy, we can well claim that Egypt has given us the gift of the earliest ancestral history thanks to its hieroglyphs and other sources now readily available via Internet. There are several sources connecting us to Egyptian ancestors but I have here picked one, listed first, “Byzantine Emperors”, which ties together several of our other ancestral lineages, which I have described in other books. This one lists our ancestors from a most recent (generation 1) to the earliest (generation 87). This sequence is different from most computer genealogy reports which list the lineages from to earliest person to the present. Besides the information in this list, I have gone further back in time using Wikipedia and some other Internet sources. In my lineage list, shown next, I have those of our ancestors highlighted, for which additional information has been provided in the main text. This list ends with Neithiyti Princess of Egypt (81st great grandmother). She was married to Cyrus II the Great King of Persia, our ancestor listed in the Persian Royal Ancestry. Another list is included and ends with the famous Cleopatra and the end of the Egyptian empire as it then became part of the Roman Empire as shown in Roman Early Ancestry. This time period is included in the 1945 novel by Mika Waltari, titled The Egyptian, which is set during the reign of 18th dynasty pharaoh Akhenaten.

  • Egyptian Kings (Dynasties I - Xvii) 1
    VOLUME III A PROSOFOGRAPHICAL REGISTER OF THE WIVES OF THE EGYPTIAN KINGS (DYNASTIES I - XVII) 1 PROSOPOGRAPHICAL.OUTLINE OF THE WIVES OF THE KINGS DYNASTIES I - XVII DYNASTY I QUEEN NT-HTP Temp. Narmer to Aha; Weeks (JARCE 9 [1971], p.31) has pointed out that the facade decoration on the tomb at Naqada, and mastaba 3357 at Saqqara have identical niche patterns to the decoration in the facade wall recently found at Hierakonpolis. Both the niche design, and the dimensions of the niches were identical. These monuments all date, in his opinion, to the time of Aha. Tomb: There is some doubt about this. While Emery and others consider that Nt-htp’s tomb is the great mastaba at Naqada, other scholars (such as Kemp, Kaiser) prefer to leave it unassigned. Kaplony (IAF, p.592) considers that this tomb belongs to a person he identifies as Prince Rhjt. There is no certainty, however, that Rhjt was a prince - indeed, it would be an odd name for a prince to be given, since the consistent usage of the word possibly means ’the lower classes’ (see Gardiner, Onomastica, 1.232, pp.98 - 111) - and there is no certainty that any person named Rhjt was the owner of this tomb. For further discussion see Chapter 4. While it is appreciated that the queen’s claim to this tomb is doubtful, the tomb-owner is likely to be the name most frequently found on the important dedications. In this case the frequency of Nt-htp’s name on the jewellery and vase sherds, and the presence of her seal in the tomb suggest she might have been the owner.

And indeed without that great river Ægypt could never exist, it would be nothing but an endless dry and deserted desert region. The Nile meant everything to Ægypt: water, food, building materials, transport, etc... But however important the Nile was, as important to the Egyptian nation were the gods, the temples and the priests. Ægypt was and still is the temple of the world! Although Ægypt lost a great deal of its past splendour and the Imperials never held it in high esteem, the land is still great for its temples and its gods. The period of the (great) pharaohs is over - an Imperial governor is ruling instead - but the gods still leave their mark on the visitor and on everyday life.
