  • Los Hicsos: Una Nueva Visión
    Los hicsos: una nueva visión Teresa Bedman González [Texto publicado en Instituto de Estudios del Antiguo Egipto.] [Ponencia presentada durante el VII Congreso Internacional de Egiptólogos. Cambridge, 1995.] Pocos problemas han preocupado tanto a arqueólogos e investigadores del Oriente Medio, como poder llegar a descifrar el origen de los Hicsos, por lo tanto, resolver el «problema hicso», arrojaría una preciosa luz, en el vacío histórico que supuso el final del Imperio Medio, y que dio paso al llamado Segundo Período Intermedio. Pero este «problema», hoy por hoy, sigue siendo de difícil solución, pues cuando intentamos encontrar evidencias hicsas en los anales egipcios, nos topamos, en muchos casos, con la propia negación de su existencia, siendo esta negación la afirmación más rotunda de su propia importancia. Tanto egiptólogos, como asiriólogos, durante años, se han empeñado en identificar a una sola etnia llamada Hicsos. Pero, ¿quiénes fueron éstos? ¿Fue un pueblo o varios los que se lanzaron a la incierta travesía de llegar al sueño verde, que era el Delta de Kemet? Para sujetar esta teoría, nos basaremos en las propias fuentes egipcias, en la arqueología y en los profundos trabajos de Redford y Bietak. También expondremos como aproximadamente hacia el 1652, existieron en Egipto cinco dinastías paralelas reinando en Tebas, Sois y Avaris, circunstancialmente por no más un año, lo que nos da la pauta para discernir el gran drama que se estaba viviendo. De estas dinastías, veremos cómo la XIII y XVII (tebanas) una, es continuación de la otra. Y de cómo la XV (de los Hicsos en Avaris), la XVI (de gobernadores locales) y la XVII (de egipcios en Tebas) reinan simultáneamente entre 1650 y 1544 a.

  • Factores Del Dominio De Los Hicsos En Egipto
    Factores del dominio de los hicsos en Egipto Alumno: Pablo Quirós Director: David Rull Máster del Mediterráneo Antiguo Curso 2020-2021 Primer semestre RESUMEN: Los hicsos fueron el primer pueblo extranjero en gobernar el Antiguo Egipto. Durante mucho tiempo la información sobre los mismos ha sido escasa, y ha estado muy condicionada por el discurso egipcio posterior a su derrota. Los descubrimientos realizados desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta la actualidad han permitido reevaluar su papel y analizar críticamente la información que creíamos conocer. Su dominio abarcó un amplio territorio, situando su capital en la ciudad de Avaris, y se extendió durante más de cien años enmarcados en lo que se conoce como Segundo Período Intermedio. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar los factores que hicieron posible que Egipto fuera dominado por primera vez por un pueblo extranjero, y que este se mantuviera en el poder durante más de un siglo en un país orgulloso y tradicionalmente reacio a los extranjeros. Se analizarán las fuentes disponibles para tratar de establecer un estado de la cuestión sobre aspectos como el origen de los hicsos, su ascenso al poder, su forma de gobierno y sus mecanismos de dominio, sus relaciones culturales y religiosas con la población local o su actividad comercial, con el fin de estudiar los factores que hicieron posible este capítulo de la historia de Egipto.

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 1992 Scarab Seals from a Middle to Late Bronze Age Tomb at Pella in Jordan Richards, Fiona V Abstract: The site of Pella of the Decapolis, located in the Jordan Valley, has been excavated under the auspices of the University of Sydney, Australia. The project has revealed an extensive multi-period site with an impressive coverage of the Bronze Age. Tomb 62, a Middle to Late Bronze Age tomb, is the richest discovered at the site and one of the largest in the Levant. This catalogue of the scarabs from Tomb 62 comprises a large and unique collection from a closed context. It offers a typological, chronological, historical and comparative survey. Ward and Tufnell’s pioneering classification system is utilized and modified to incorporate previously unknown types from the Pella collection. Essentially, this catalogue provides valuable comparative material and contributes to our understanding of the complex interplay between Egypt and Palestine in the Hyksos period.

  • Cyaxares: Media's Great King in Egypt, Assyria & Iran
    .Old Persian (Aryan) - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)© IRANIAN HISTORY: MEDIAN DYNASTY Cyaxares: Media’s Great King in Egypt, Assyria & Iran By: Professor Gunnar Heinsohn (University of Bremen, May 2006) I Cyaxares in the sources, and their “refutation” THE CLAIMS OF CLASSICAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: "He [Phraortes] began to subdue all Asia, going from people to people, until, in his campaigning, he came against the Assyrians, and especially those of the Assyrians who held Nineveh. These Assyrians had formerly ruled all of Asia but were now quite isolated, all their allies having dropped away from them. But in them­selves they were as strong as ever, and when Phraortes fought them, he himself was killed. / Cyaxares, the son of Phraortes, [...] drew together under his own rule all Asia beyond the Halys. Then, collecting all his subject peoples, he attacked Nineveh. [...] He had defeated the Assyrians in battle; but then, when he was beleaguering Nineveh, there came upon him a great host of Scythians, whose leader was their king, Madyes. / The Medes also took Nineveh [...] and they made the Assyrians their subject, except for the province of Babylon“. (Herodotus, The History, I: 102/103/106.) ASSYRIOLOGY’S “REFUTATION” OF CLASSICAL HISTORIANS: "In Assyrian and Babylonian records and in the archaeological evidence no vestiges of an impe­rial structure [of the Medes; G.H.] can be found. The very existence of a Median empire, with the emphasis on empire, is thus questionable. / I would suggest [...] that the Medikos Logikos, as we have it, is essentially a Greek product“. (Sancisi­Weerdenburg 1988, 212 / Sancisi­Weerdenburg 1994, 55.) “Only 20 years ago, the existence of a Median ‘Empire’ that had immediately succeeded the fall of Assyria, and ruled, for half a century, large parts of the Near East until Cyrus — as a supposed vassal of Astyages, the last king of Media — had defeated his overlord and inherited his empire, was regarded as a safe historical fact.
