  • The Shrines of Gebel El-Silsila and Their Function
    Department of Archaeology and Ancient History The Shrines of Gebel el-Silsila and their function Alexandra Boender BA Thesis, 15 ECTS in Egyptology Spring 2018 Supervisor: Sami Uljas Boender, A. 2018, The Shrines of Gebel el-Silsila Boender, A. 2018, Helgedomarna i Gebel el-Silsila ABSTRACT In 1963 came Ricardo Caminos to the conclusion that the shrines of Gebel el-Silsila functioned as cenotaphs. However, his views have never been reassessed by contemporary Egyptologists, which has led to the shrines still being interpreted as cenotaphs today. This study shows that the term cenotaph perhaps is not the correct word to use for their function. The focal point of this study are the decorations and inscriptions of the shrines, their religious character and the importance of the Nile. The following research compares the shrines of Gebel el-Silsila with similar shrines at Qasr Ibrim in order to reveal their similarities and dissimilarities. In order to achieve this, two publications were chosen, by Caminos, who assessed both sites in the 1960s and briefly compares the Qasr Ibrim shrines to Gebel el-Silsila. Furthermore, the shrines of Gebel el-Silsila resemble tombs in the Theban necropolis, where some of the tombs of the shrine-owners have been uncovered. For this reason, a comparison between the shrines and tombs has been made in order to reveal why the shrines cannot be tombs, and to display why the shrines still are mortuary monuments. Lastly, the following study assessed the shrine- owners in order to answer how the shrines were financed. However, although many of the shrine-owners are well-established noblemen of which several accounts are known, only their titles are taken into account for they provide a principal overview of their status.

  • Hatshepsut 1. Historical Context
    Option A: Hatshepsut 1. Historical Context 1.1 Geography, topography, and resources of Egypt and its neighbours Geography • Egypt is referred to as the Black Land (Kemet) comprising the triangular delta, Faiyum and long fertile strip on either side of the Nile river • Separated into Upper and Lower Egypt • The desert areas are known as Red Land (Deshret) and comprised the Western desert, the Eastern desert, and Sinai. • Extensive desert provided natural defence and resources • Fertile area was lush and ordered, exploited by mining expeditions organised by Pharaoh • Isolation by the Nile valley and sea meant Egypt had long been self-sufficient and was relatively free of invaders. Isolation led to a culture unique compared to those on the fertile crescent and mainland. • “Gift of the Nile” HERODOTUS • Invasion of N Egypt by Hyksos shattered their sense of security → resulted in expulsion of Hyksos and creation of the New Kingdom Role and Function of The Nile • Nile is the major north-east African river that flows toward the northern side of African territory • The Nile River flows north 5470km to reach the southern border of Egypt. The northern section of the river flows through the desert, from Sudan to Egypt. • River Nile flows through ten countries ending up in a large delta – Finally the river flows into the Mediterranean Sea. • The basics of the Egyptian diet (bread and beer provided by wheat and barley) was ensured by the annual inundation. Inundation: Annual floods made Egypt fertile since there was limited natural rainfall. • Provided Papyrus (plant grown along the Nile from which paper was made) • The trades between various countries along the river Nile made Egypt an economically secured nation Resources of Egypt Sinai Copper, turquoise Provided an enormous range of wild fowl Delta that were hunted Provided a plentiful supply of fish, produced crops, and breeding of animals, grew The Nile River wheat, barley, flax, fruit, and vegetables.

  • 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. Joshua Aaron Roberson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of History, Camden County College. Blackwood, NJ. He has worked as an epigrapher and sigillographer with the University of Pennsylvania expeditions to Saqqara and Abydos and as a sigillographer for the French-Egyptian expedition to the Opet temple at Karnak.

  • Pharaoh Bible
    1. CHARACTERS Pharaoh is essentially an “upstairs/downstairs” story, featuring a wide array of charac- ters of widely disparate social circumstances. The “upstairs” stories feature individuals in positions of power--priests, kings and nota- bles—many of which are based on actual historical figures who lived in the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom Era (see italicized). Conversely, the “downstairs” story is driven by commoners, reflecting the prosaic lives of the average citizen—bureaucrats, soldiers, laborers and criminals—and based upon the latest research that is even now painting a new, utterly compelling picture of daily life in ancient Egypt. PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS: HATSHEPSUT Hatshepsut was the daughter of Thut- mose the First and Queen Ahmose. When she had come of age, her father arranged her marriage to her half-brother, Thut- mose the Second, and was the power be- hind the throne during his rule. Upon the death of her husband, Hatshep- sut believed her right to rule superseded Thutmose the Third’s due to her direct, “uncorrupted” lineage. Therefore, once she was appointed Thutmose the Third’s Regent, Hatshepsut assumed all of the regalia and symbols of royal office and insisted on being referred to in contempo- rary records as “His Majesty.” Hatshepsut, late-20s, is an extremely intelli- gent and capable woman who believes that she alone possesses the qualifications neces- sary to rule as King of Egypt.
