(December 2015), 2(4): 244–261 Received: September 16, 2015 © 2015 Iranian Society of Ichthyology Accepted: November 25, 2015 P-ISSN: 2383-1561; E-ISSN: 2383-0964 doi: http://www.ijichthyol.org Fish imagery in Iranian artwork Zohreh MORADI* Department of Crafts, University of Hormozgan, Bandar Abbas, Iran. * Email: zo.moradi@hormozgan.ac.ir Abstract: Iranian art is one of the richest artistic heritages in the world comprising different fields such as architecture, paintings, weaving, pottery, calligraphy, metalworking, petrography, etc. This art had inseparable link with nature; especially with plants and animals in different eras; and it has been interwoven with poetry and literature so that its glory, beauty and expression have increased over time. In this study, based on available resources and collections in the museums of the world, fish imagery depicted in ancient Iranian art has been studied and its importance is dis- cussed from different perspectives. The use of plant and animal imagery, especially fish, in the ancient works such as stone, clay, bronze and fabric (textile) has a long history of several thousand years and the fish has been used as a symbol of religion, culture, social relationships and economy. On the other hand, fish imagery presents the past fish fauna, and along with the archaeological remains, provides information about the fish biodiversity, which is usually consistent with the recent ichthyodiversity. Keywords: Fish imagery, Archaeology, Ichthyodiversity, Iranian artwork. Introduction were painted or sculptured by CroMagnon people in Fishes constitute slightly more than one-half of the Caves in France at least 14000 years ago (Ruspoli total number of recognized living vertebrate species 1986).

  • Law in Ancient Egyptian Fiction
    LAW IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FICTION Russ VerSteeg* INTRODUCTION The spirit of ancient Egypt has captivated most of us at some time. Pyramids, mummies, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, and the romance of archaeology mesmerize us and kindle our imaginations. Egypt seizes us with its powerful magic and mystery. Even before Jean Francois Champollion achieved his first major philological breakthroughs in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 1820s, people were fascinated by the physical vestiges of ancient Egyptian culture and civilization: its art, artifacts, and architecture. However, once Champollion's work began to bear fruit, a new world of Egyptology burst onto the scene. Prior to Champollion, almost all Egyptolo- gists had been anthropologists and/or archaeologists. Now philology provides access to the writing of the ancient Egyptians; and, a variety of types of writing have survived. ' One important genre of ancient Egyptian * Associate Professor of Law, New England School of Law, Boston, Massachusetts; A.B. 1979, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; J.D. 1987, University of Connecticut School of Law. I would like to thank Dr. Robert Bianchi, Dr. Janet Johnson, Professor Ronald Chester, and Professor George Dargo, who read and commented on an earlier draft.

In describing the character and the action of the personages whose histories form the subjects of this series, the writer makes no attempt to darken the colors in which he depicts their deeds of violence and wrong, or to increase, by indignant denunciations, the obloquy which heroes and conquerors have so often brought upon themselves, in the estimation of mankind, by their ambition, their tyranny, or their desperate and reckless crimes.

Wegner The site of South Abydos was home to royal mortuary complexes of both the late Middle, and New Kingdoms, belonging to Senwosret III and Ahmose. Thanks to both recent and past excavations, both of these royal establishments are fairly well understood. Yet, we lack a clear picture of the mortuary practices of the non- royal individuals living and working in the shadow of these institutions. For both periods, the main question is where the tombs of the non-royal citizens might exist. Additionally for the Middle Kingdom is the related issue of how these people commemorated their dead ancestors. Divided into two parts, this dissertation looks at the ways in which non-royal individuals living at South Abydos during these two periods dealt with burial and funerary commemoration.

  • Perceptions of the Serpent in the Ancient Near East: Its Bronze Age Role in Apotropaic Magic, Healing and Protection
    PERCEPTIONS OF THE SERPENT IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST: ITS BRONZE AGE ROLE IN APOTROPAIC MAGIC, HEALING AND PROTECTION by WENDY REBECCA JENNIFER GOLDING submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN STUDIES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR M LE ROUX November 2013 Snake I am The Beginning and the End, The Protector and the Healer, The Primordial Creator, Wisdom, all-knowing, Duality, Life, yet the terror in the darkness. I am Creation and Chaos, The water and the fire. I am all of this, I am Snake. I rise with the lotus From muddy concepts of Nun. I am the protector of kings And the fiery eye of Ra. I am the fiery one, The dark one, Leviathan Above and below, The all-encompassing ouroboros, I am Snake. (Wendy Golding 2012) ii SUMMARY In this dissertation I examine the role played by the ancient Near Eastern serpent in apotropaic and prophylactic magic. Within this realm the serpent appears in roles in healing and protection where magic is often employed. The possibility of positive and negative roles is investigated. The study is confined to the Bronze Age in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine. The serpents, serpent deities and deities with ophidian aspects and associations are described. By examining these serpents and deities and their roles it is possible to incorporate a comparative element into his study on an intra- and inter- regional basis. In order to accumulate information for this study I have utilised textual and pictorial evidence, as well as artefacts (such as jewellery, pottery and other amulets) bearing serpent motifs.

  • Abomination to Egyptians OTE 22 (1) 2009, 151-174 151
    Pinker: Abomination to Egyptians OTE 22 (1) 2009, 151-174 151 “Abomination to Egyptians” in Genesis 43:32, 46:34, and Exodus 8:22 ARON PINKER (MARYLAND, USA) ABSTRACT Available explanations of the causes for Egyptian sense of abomination in Genesis 43:32, 46:34, and Exodus 8:22 are ei- ther too general or incorrect. It is suggested that in Genesis 43:32 the sense of abomination possibly stems from the malo- dorous woolen garments worn by the Hebrews; in Genesis 46:34 it is perhaps a combination of basic farmer/shepherd distaste and hatred stemming from an association of shepherds with the barbaric nomadic chieftains on Egypt’s north-eastern border; and in Exodus 8:22 it might be driven by the Hebrews’ custom of burning portions of animals sacrificed to a deity. These sugges- tions, while speculative, have a Sitz im Leben context. A INTRODUCTION Genesis 43:32 tells that Joseph hosted his brothers as well as some Egyptian offi- cials for dinner. The seating arrangements were, however, unusual: They served him by himself, and them by themselves and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves. The Biblical narrator finds it necessary to supply an explanation for this curious situation, saying: for the Egyptians could not dine with the Hebrews since that would be an abomination to the Egyptians. This is not the only case in -re ,(תועבה) which something is identified by the Bible as being an abomination pugnant, or abhorrent to the Egyptians. In Genesis 46:34 Joseph instructs his brothers to tell Pharaoh that they are shepherds so that they would be kept apart from the Egyptians.

  • A Christian Perspective on Islam
    A CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE ON ISLAM Chawkat Moucarry1 Islam claims that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam itself are three God-given religions. All prophets (including Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad) preached essentially the same message: God is one, and everyone must obey and worship him because on the day of judgment people will be sent to paradise or to hell according to whether or not they believed in their Creator and complied with his laws. This theological inclusiveness is only apparent since Islam is believed to be the only saving religion (3:19, 85).2 It comes at an exceedingly high price for the Christian faith. Indeed, Islam denies the reliability of the Christian Scripture, which contradicts the Qur’an on at least three key issues: God’s holy Trinity, the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, and God’s saving grace supremely demonstrated in the death and resurrection of Christ. The first four sections of this essay examine and respond to Islamic criticisms of the Christian faith. In its own way, Christianity is no less exclusive. As Eckhard Schnabel puts it, The message of the early Christian mission is “exclusive” in terms of the offer of the forgiveness of sins, salvation and justification on judgment day by faith in Jesus the crucified and risen Messiah; it is “inclusive” in terms of people of all nations, tribes and languages being invited and called to believe in Jesus Christ.3 The New Testament presents Jesus Christ as God’s perfect and final revelation for all nations, which rules out any further divine revelation, including Islam. Nevertheless, as a world religion Islam cannot and should not be dismissed without thoughtful and courteous engagement.
