Of, of Egyptian Archaeology Faculty of Arts --- Tanta University 201 3 TANTA Published in Acadmie.edu Abstract The King "Wah-Ib-Ra" and His Monuments By: Mahmoud Hamid Farraj Ali Elhosary T he King "Wah-Ib-Ra" one of The great Kings who ruled Egypt under the Twenty-sixth Dynasty, and The first action by the King when he ascended the throne, Is to restore the "Syrian Arab Republic" and "Palestine" In order to achieve the hopes of his family to recover ancient Egypt colonies there, and this has held an alliance with the King, "Zedekiah" against "Nebuchadnezzar" to avoid the fall of Jerusalem. The King "Wah-Ib-Ra" became known "Apries" ( Ἁπρίης ) at the ancient Greeks, and Pharaoh "Hophra" at the Jews, There are other titles dubbed them, They title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" WAHibRa , Which refers to the name of the birth of King, meaning "Constant is the Heart of Re" and the title of "Haa-Ib-Ra" @aaibRa , Which refers to the name of coronation of the King, Which means "Rejoice heart of Ra" and we must differentiate between the two kings carried the title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" They King counting from "Psamtik I" founding family Twenty-sixth Dynasty and the King "Apries" the fourth king of the family, where is the title of "Wah-Ib-Ra" is the name of the coronation of the king " Psamtik I" and Birth name for King "Apries". The period of the life of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" from a difficult periods historically, because of a few of resources for the life of the king and his reign and his family, As for his Monuments Has Gave us a little about his life and his reign, so that I worked to elucidation and show these points : II The birth of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : Thought Hincks that king Apries was born not later than about 612 B.C, the year in which "Psamtik I" died. He might have been born some years earlier, but could not be later. Lineage of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : where Lineage King "Apries" to his father King "Psamtik II" and his mother Queen "Takhut" that we knew Lineage King "Apries" to his father King "Psamtik II" From The Adoption Stela of "Ankhnesneferibre" at Karnak, as from this Stela "Ankhnesneferibre" her father "Psamtik II" and her brother "Apries", and also we knew the name of the mother of King "Apries" From the coffin of his sister Princess "Ankhnesneferibre", which contains inscriptions show Lineage princess to her father King "Psammetik II" and to her mother Queen "Takhut". Wife of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : For the wife of King "Apries" she not known to us, only said "Sayce" that be wife "Apries" Queen "Aah-hotop" that Apries' wife goes unrecorded. The rule of King "Wah-Ib-Ra" : not known the real reign of King "Apries" where Historians disagree on the length of his reign, "Herodotus" said that the rule of the king twenty-five years, and said "Diodore" that the rule of him twenty-two years As for "Maniton" that he rule of nineteen years, and we known the last years for the reign of King from the Stele in the Museum Lausanne N ° 24, that looks good from the date of the last year of his reign, and Through this donation Stela shows us the reign of the king "Apries" a twenty-year-old. III The civil war between the King "Wah-Ib-Ra" and "Amasis" : The events of the civil war For the course of the usurpation, as distinct from the chronology, we are dependent on a consideration of Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, the Elephantine stela of Amasis, and a fragment of a Babylonian royal text. According to Herodotus, the defeat of an Egyptian army sent against Cyrene by Apries led to a rebellion. When Apries dispatched one of his officials, Amasis, to bring the soldiers to heel, the latter was proclaimed king by the rebels, and joined them, Apries alienating more of his subjects by the mutilation of an unfortunate courtier who brought the bad news. Apries advanced from Sais with 30,000 Carians loniansand onians against the oncoming Amasis. The battle which followed at Momemphis resulted in a victory for Amasis, the capture of Apries and, after an unspecified time, the death of the latter at the hands of the populace to whom he had been unwillingly surrendered by the new king. He was, howeve, granted burial in the dynastic cemetery in the precinct of Neith at Sais. The joint-reign between "Apries" and "Amasis" : There was no joint-reign between "Apries" and "Amasis" and The monuments of the joint-reign of "Apries" and "Amasis" conclusively show that for some years "Apries" remained a political prisoner under the power of his nominal co-regent "Amasis". And the Block with scene of Amasis with naos followed by Ra (Champollion and Roselini) give cartouche of Apries in error, probably originally from Memphis, found in Citadel. IV A few monuments of the King "Wah-Ib-Ra" in Upper Egypt : the monuments of "Apries" in Upper Egypt Less than his monuments in lower Egypt because the reign of King "Apries" was in Lower Egypt and in the capital, "Sais". found Newly about Stela for the king "Apries" in Tel Dafnah : the archaeologists Egyptians has found New for the Pharaoh Apries the XXVI dynasty (589-570 BC) in Tel Dafnah. In the end , I have divided my study into preapprehension, then two parts, each part Contain about three chapters Volume I The life of the King "Wah-Ib-Ra" and his Employees Chapter 1: The first Chapter was about The King "Wah-Ib-Ra" and his family. Chapter 2: The second Chapter was about the arrival of the king "Wah- Ib-Ra" to the throne and his reign. Chapter 3: The Third Chapter was about the Employees in the reign of King "Wah-Ib-Ra".

Abstract This study consists of an analysis of Egyptian foreign policy during the Saite period (including the reign of Necho I), and also briefly examines the actions of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty in order to establish the correct context. Despite the large gaps in the historical record during this period, judicious use of sources from a number of different cultures allows the historian to attempt to reconstruct the actions of the time, and to discuss possible motivations for them, seeking to identify concerns linking the foreign policy of all the Saite kings.

  • Pharaoh Chronology (Pdf)
    Egypt's chronology in sync with the Holy Bible by Eve Engelbrite (c)2021, p1 Egypt's Chronology in Synchronization with the Bible This Egyptian chronology is based upon the historically accurate facts in the Holy Bible which are supported by archaeological evidence and challenge many assumptions. A major breakthrough was recognizing Joseph and Moses lived during the reigns of several pharaohs, not just one. During the 18th dynasty in which Joseph and Moses lived, the average reign was about 15 years; and Joseph lived 110 years and Moses lived 120 years. The last third of Moses' life was during the 19th dynasty. Though Rameses II had a reign of 66 years, the average reign of the other pharaohs was only seven years. Biblical chronology is superior to traditional Egyptian chronology Joseph was born in 1745 BC during the reign of Tao II. Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery (1728 BC), which was during the reign of Ahmose I, for the historically accurate amount of 20 pieces of silver.1 Moses (1571-1451 BC) was born 250 years after the death of the Hebrew patriarch, Abraham. Moses lived in Egypt and wrote extensively about his conversations and interactions with the pharaoh of the Hebrews' exodus from Egypt; thus providing a primary source. The history of the Hebrews continued to be written by contemporaries for the next thousand years. These books (scrolls) were accurately copied and widely disseminated. The Dead Sea Scrolls contained 2,000 year old copies of every book of the Bible, except Esther, and the high accuracy of these copies to today's copies in original languages is truly astonishing.

  • Lecture on the Late Period the 26Th Dynasty The Late Period of Ancient Egypt Refers to the Last
    Lecture on The Late Period the 26th Dynasty The Late Period of ancient Egypt refers to the last flowering of native Egyptian rulers after the Third Intermediate Period from the 26th Saite Dynasty in 664 B. C. through a series of Persian and Macedonian-Greek conquests that ended with the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B. C. The Twenty-Sixth Dynasty (685-525 B. C.) was the last native dynasty to rule Egypt before the Persian conquest in 525 B. C. The Twenty-Sixth Dynasty is also called the Saite Period after the city of Sais, where its pharaohs had their capital, and marks the beginning of the Late Period of ancient Egypt. The Saite pharaohs had to rely in their military campaigns on foreign mercenaries; 1. Carian (from southwestern Asia Minor, modern Turkey). 2. Phoenician (were the people who occupied the coast of the Levant, eastern Mediterranean, and their major cities were Tyre, Sidon, Byblos, and Arwad). 3. Greek, as well as Egyptian soldiers. These different ethnic groups lived in their own quarters of the capital city, Memphis. The Greeks were also allowed to establish a trading settlement at Naukratis in the western Delta. This served as a conduit for cultural influences traveling from Egypt to Greece. The kings of the 26th Dynasty: 1.Nekau I the ruler of Sais. 2.Psamtik I. the founder of the 26th Dynasty.The city of Naukratis that is located at 21 km south of Damanhur is suggested to have been established during his reign. He prevented the effect of the Assyrian invasion, and was also perhaps reacting against the presence of the growing numbers of foreigners in Egypt.

Root, Chair Associate Professor Elspeth R. M. Dusinberre, University of Colorado Professor Sharon C. Herbert Associate Professor Ian S. Moyer Professor Janet E. Richards Professor Terry G. Wilfong © Henry Preater Colburn All rights reserved 2014 For my family: Allison and Dick, Sam and Gabe, and Abbie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was written under the auspices of the University of Michigan’s Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA), my academic home for the past seven years. I could not imagine writing it in any other intellectual setting. I am especially grateful to the members of my dissertation committee for their guidance, assistance, and enthusiasm throughout my graduate career. Since I first came to Michigan Margaret Root has been my mentor, advocate, and friend. Without her I could not have written this dissertation, or indeed anything worth reading. Beth Dusinberre, another friend and mentor, believed in my potential as a scholar well before any such belief was warranted. I am grateful to her for her unwavering support and advice. Ian Moyer put his broad historical and theoretical knowledge at my disposal, and he has helped me to understand the real potential of my work. Terry Wilfong answered innumerable questions about Egyptian religion and language, always with genuine interest and good humor. Janet Richards introduced me to Egyptian archaeology, both its study and its practice, and provided me with important opportunities for firsthand experience in Egypt.
