General Index XLVIII v Abstract Many authors who have studied ancient social systems have emphasised the importance of farming and herding in the genesis of complex societies. Hence, this dependence must have had an intrinsic influence on the cultural matrix of societies sustained by agriculture, such as the entire Mesopotamian and Italic regions. Farming and herding regulated daily activities, influencing the conceptualization of the surrounding cosmos. The natural world was reflected in abstract thought, which inevitably formed the basis for linguistic creativity and expression based on signs of meaning inspired by the agricultural landscape. A variety of media often shows such potential ‘metaphoric’ language, which extends beyond the simple expression of literary telluric feelings to present images obvious to an interlocutor who recognized meaning in signs culturally transmitted by empirical experience within the agricultural cosmos or through traditional preconceptions. In this sense, through the identification and crystallization of what modern semiotics calls ‘signs of meaning’, the empirical observation of fertility, abundance and quality of production would have served as a source for the creation of imagery constructed from common sense and the experience of rural life and natural phenomena. These images, made up of crystalized signs of meaning, would have been converted into linguistic symbols whose semantics reflected a symbiosis of three conceptual levels: rural life, natural phenomena and welfare. The aim of this thesis is to analyse how prejudgments of meanings drawn from nature and based on common sense were constructed and maintained in a defined cultural context which predated the exclusivity and artificiality of literary expression. At the same time, it will explore how such preconceived ideas can help us to understand ancient culture and approach the thinking of the silent people of the ancient world. In order to interpret how the allegorical images and processes for crystallising traditional ideas were constructed, I intend to identify possible traces of ancient traditional linguistic thought in Sumerian literature and Latin instructions on farming, whose matrices were developed from contact with the natural world and date from prehistorical times. The objective is to identify meaning in images transmitted by literary language by applying the same method to two unrelated cultures in order to demonstrate that different cultures may use the same mechanisms to construct abstract meaning, with similar results, in a context based mainly on agriculture and nature. vi Resumo Muitos autores dedicados ao estudo de antigos sistemas sociais apontaram que a gênese das sociedades complexas foi sustentada em grande medida pelo desenvolvimento da agricultura e do pastorícia. Nesse sentido, a matriz cultural destas sociedades foi profundamente influenciada por estas actividades económicas, tal como sucedeu com as culturas antigas de toda a região mesopotâmica e itálica. As atividades de caráter agrícola regulavam o quotidiano e, dessa forma, moldavam a conceptualização do cosmos circundante.

Abstract The ritual and incantation series Šurpu ‘Burning’ is one of the most important sources for understanding religious and magical practice in the ancient Near East. The purpose of the ritual was to rid a sufferer of a divine curse which had been inflicted due to personal misconduct. The series is composed chiefly of the text of the incantations recited during the ceremony. These are supplemented by brief ritual instructions as well as a ritual tablet which details the ceremony in full. This thesis offers a comprehensive and radical reconstruction of the entire text, demonstrating the existence of a large, and previously unsuspected, lacuna in the published version. In addition, a single tablet, tablet IX, from the ten which comprise the series is fully edited, with partitur transliteration, eclectic and normalised text, translation, and a detailed line by line commentary.

  • CLEAR II Egyptian Mythology and Religion Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. According to Chapter 112 of the ​
    CLEAR II Egyptian Mythology and Religion Packet by Jeremy Hixson 1. According to Chapter 112 of the Book of the Dead, two of these deities were charged with ending a storm at the ​ ​ city of Pe, and the next chapter assigns the other two of these deities to the city of Nekhen. The Pyramid Texts describe these gods as bearing Osiris's body to the heavens and, in the Middle Kingdom, the names of these deities were placed on the corner pillars of coffins. Maarten Raven has argued that the association of these gods with the intestines developed later from their original function, as gods of the four quarters of the world. Isis was both their mother and grandmother. For 10 points, consisting of Qebehsenuef, Imsety, Duamutef, and Hapi, the protectors of the organs stored in the canopic jars which bear their heads, these are what group of deities, the progeny of a certain falcon­headed god? ANSWER: Sons of Horus [or Children of Horus; accept logical equivalents] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. According to Plutarch, the pro­Spartan Kimon sent a delegation with a secret mission to this deity, though he died before its completion, prompting the priest to inform his men that Kimon was already with this deity. Pausanias says that Pindar offered a statue of this god carved by Kalamis in Thebes and Pythian IV includes Medea's prediction that "the daughter of Epaphus will one day be planted... amid the foundations" of this god in Libya. Every ten days a cult statue of this god was transported to Medinet Habu in western Thebes, where he had first created the world by fertilizing the world egg.

GR2017-A01-00-00 RELAZIONE TECNICA A01 scala - Rev. Data Elaborazione Approvazione Validazione R.U.P. Certificazione 00 Premessa Gli obiettivi che il progetto si prefigge si possono riassumere in : mitigazione del rischio idraulico; riqualificazione strutturale e funzionale della rete ecologica e dei sistemi ambientali; tutela quali-quantitativa delle acque; occupazione di risorse umane con conseguente riduzione dei livelli di disoccupazione. Per il raggiungimento di tali obiettivi è necessario mettere in atto tutte le azioni volte a: 1. ridurre il rischio idraulico con interventi di pulizia vegetazionale e di pulizia spondale, articolati territorialmente in ogni sezione idraulica; 2. recuperare la multifunzionalità (ambientale, fruitiva, paesistica) delle opere idrauliche esistenti, in modo da renderle nuovamente funzionali ed efficaci; 3. risanare e valorizzare le sponde fluviali e i terreni contermini; 4. ripristinare aree tampone da destinare a vegetazione ripariale per la riduzione delle componenti di inquinamento diffuso. Gli eventi calamitosi di questi ultimi anni fanno risaltare, in modo sempre più pressante, la fragilità del nostro territorio, rilevano, inoltre, che l’assenza di interventi è il principale responsabile di allagamenti ed esondazioni dei fiumi. I casi sempre più frequenti di piogge intense e concentrate che periodicamente colpiscono la nostra regione, rendono evidenti due necessità. La prima è quella di elaborare nuove strategie per fronteggiare le situazioni di emergenza relativamente alla difesa del suolo, alla bonifica ecc.

This is a result of the simple fact that our knowledge of the practice of Mesopotamian magic is channeled mainly through the medium of text. 2 Assuming a written representation serves as a record of an existing ritual practice, it must be approached as a selective account of specific aspects of a ritual, which were deemed necessary to be written down, in a specific time, place and context.3 In addition, we cannot assume that a ritual text4 or written recitation merely records a practice which existed before it was written down; the action or recitation may have been composed initially in writing, by means of a combination of observation and writing, or with reference to an oral tradition. Following the initial writing of an incantation or ritual text, the composition represented by the text may have been transmitted in writing and/or orally. Similarly, the composition may have been performed with a full or partial reference to a text, a version of it, or as a purely or partially oral tradition.
