Presentation 10 Egyptian Pharohs By Mahek Hatshepsut Grandfather Ahmose 1 defeated Hycose, who occupied Low Egypt during the 2nd intermediate period. She decended from strong women. Her father Thutmose 1 married Nefertiti and had many kids including Hatshepsut and Thutmose 11 Thutmose 11 married her. They had a boy named Thutmose 111. After Thutmose 11 died, she proclaimed herself Pharoh and sent Thutmose 111 to join the army. Hatshepsut dressed like a king by wearing a false beard. She referred to herself as the female falcon. With her as Pharoh the economy flourished. She built a mortuary temple in Deir el Babri. Eventually Thutmose 111 took rightful place on the throne. 20 years after Hatshepsut's death, he had her name removed from nearly every monument. However, some of the best preserved obelisks today have Hatshepsut. King Tutankhamen Tutankhamen was the seventh child of Akhenaten 111 and Queen Tiye His father, Pharaoh Akhenaten, abandoned many traditional gods. When his father died, Tutankhamen's sister Smenkhkare becomes Pharaoh, but Ay, father of Nefertiti, takes charge. Over time, the traditional Egyptian gods are worshipped again. At the age of 9, "Tut" becomes Pharaoh of Egypt and marries his half-sister Ankhesenpaaten. After King Tyt's death, Ay becomes Pharaoh. King Tut's sarcophagus cracks, and is taken off the mummified body for repairs. Nefertiti was the greatNefertiti royal wife to Akhenaten, and was renowned for her beauty. She was the daughter of the official Ay, who became Pharaoh after Tutankhamen's death. Nefertiti was part of the religious revolution in which they thought only the God Aten was good enough to be worshipped. She changed her name to Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti, meaning beautiful are the beauties of Aten, a beautiful woman has come. Nefertiti ruled with her husband, who went to great lengths to show that she was an equal counterpart. Nefertiti died in 1331 BC. Amenhotep IV He made new religion so that people only worshipped Aten the sun god. Married Nefertiti He was only shown on memorials as a sun disk. His name meant servant of Aten. He built a city where he began to live. Soon the economy crumbled. When he died, Smenkhkare took over but kept the religion of Aten. His city was destroyed. When king tut became Pharoh he changed the religion back to the original one. The Aten religion is still not completely understood today. It was not until the Christian Era only one God was worshipped. Cleopatra At eighteen, Cleopatra became Egypt's queen. According to law, she had to rule with her brother Ptolemy XII who became her husband, but she didn't want to. When Cleopatra was twenty, Ptolemy's advisors drove her out Egypt. She raised an army to fight her brother, but before the civil war started, Julius Caesar of Rome moved into the palace and tried to make peace. Cleopatra and Caesar fell in love and married. Together, they went to war with Ptolemy. Ptolemy was defeated and Cleopatra became queen along with Ptolemy XIV. Cleopatra went to Rome with Caesar and her newborn son. Caesar was to make himself king, and so the people of Rome assassinated him. Cleopatra fled to Egypt, where she married Mark Antony. Octavian went to war with Antony and took Cleopatra captive. Antony committed suicide and soon after Cleopatra poisoned herself at age thirty-nine. Thank you���.

  • Cleopatra II and III: the Queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII As Guarantors of Kingship and Rivals for Power
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Andrea Jördens, Joachim Friedrich Quack (Hg.), Ägypten zwischen innerem Zwist und äußerem Druck. Die Zeit Ptolemaios’ VI. bis VIII. Internationales Symposion Heidelberg 16.-19.9.2007 (Philippika 45), Wiesbaden 2011, S. 58–76 Cleopatra II and III: The queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII as guarantors of kingship and rivals for power Martina Minas-Nerpel Introduction The second half of the Ptolemaic period was marked by power struggles not only among the male rulers of the dynasty, but also among its female members. Starting with Arsinoe II, the Ptolemaic queens had always been powerful and strong-willed and had been a decisive factor in domestic policy. From the death of Ptolemy V Epiphanes onwards, the queens controlled the political developments in Egypt to a still greater extent. Cleopatra II and especially Cleopatra III became all-dominant, in politics and in the ruler-cult, and they were often depicted in Egyptian temple- reliefs—more often than any of her dynastic predecessors and successors. Mother and/or daughter reigned with Ptolemy VI Philometor to Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 175 to 101 BC, that is, for a quarter of the entire Ptolemaic period. Egyptian queenship was complementary to kingship, both in dynastic and Ptolemaic Egypt: No queen could exist without a king, but at the same time the queen was a necessary component of kingship. According to Lana Troy, the pattern of Egyptian queenship “reflects the interaction of male and female as dualistic elements of the creative dynamics ”.1 The king and the queen functioned as the basic duality through which regeneration of the creative power of the kingship was accomplished.

  • Demotic Dictionary Project
    oi.uchicago.edu PHILOLOGY DEMOTIC DICTIONARY PROJECT Janet H.Johnson This year, as for the past several years, the Demotic Dictionary staff concentrated on checking drafts of entries for individual letters in the Egyptian "alphabet" and preparing and entering computer scan copies of the actual Demotic words. The only student work­ ing on the project this year was Thomas Dousa, whose command of Egyptian and Greek and the extensive literature in both has allowed him to make major contributions to the checking and rewriting of first draft entries. Thanks to a very generous bequest from Professor and Mrs. George R. Hughes, we anticipate being able next year to hire a recent Ph.D. graduate as Research Associate to work full time on checking of draft and preparation of scans and copies. The checking and rewriting of first draft entries involves double checking of all in­ formation provided in the entry and the incorporation of several categories of informa­ tion that we decided to include after the first drafts had been written. Many of these categories are being added to provide social or cultural information as part of the "meaning" of a word. For example, whenever the "word" is the name of a deity, a refer­ ence is provided to every geographic location (e.g., a specific city or cemetery) with which the deity is associated in the texts of the corpus from which the Chicago Demotic Dictionary is being drawn. Similarly, whenever the "word" being discussed is the name of a geographic location, reference is made to all deities mentioned in the texts of our corpus in conjunction with that geographic location.

    Well-behaved women seldom make history – Fact sheet By Elizabeth Jones Anne Bonny Job description: Professional pirate Born: March 8, 1702, Kinsale, Republic of Ireland Died: Unknown How she is unconventional: Anne Bonny was a woman living in a world where women were actively excluded. All sailors, not just pirates, believed allowing women onboard would bring bad luck because they distracted the men from their work and might become a cause for conflict. While men were in favor of excluding women from a life at sea, Anne wished she had more women fighting at her side as she made her final stand. “Dogs! If instead of these weaklings I only had some women with me,” she screamed at her crew. —Charles Johnson, A General History of the Pyrates Video Link: http://player.history.com/pservice/embed-player/?siteId=hist&tPid=21115861 Harriet Tubman Job description: Civil Rights Activist Birth: c. 1820 Death: March 10, 1913 How she is unconventional: Harriet Tubman escaped slavery to become a leading abolitionist.

  • Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth
    Assignment Prompt: Write a 1500-word argument (about 4-5 pages double-spaced) about how you know that something is true. Final Paper: Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth In Naguib Mahfouz’s Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth, fourteen different stories of the heretic king Akhenaten are told. Some praise the king and his beliefs, some condemn him as a plague to Egypt, but all of the stories are unique in their detail and perspective. From Akhenaten’s teacher Ay, to his doctor Bento, to his wife Nefertiti, each character presents new and different details about Akhenaten’s life. In order to determine the truth about Akhenaten, each character’s statements must be considered closely, keeping in mind the biases and ulterior motivations that may exist. The full history of Akhenaten can only be found after examining his life through all fourteen perspectives. Some characteristics of Akhenaten are described similarly by nearly all of the characters in the novel. The agreement serves as reason to deem these things matters of fact. The characters agreed that Akhenaten was an effeminate-looking man, that he developed a belief in the One and Only God, that he claimed to have heard the voice of the One God, and that he preached a policy of absolute non-violence when he became pharaoh. Because so many of the details of Akhenaten’s life are unclear in the novel, these basic truths can be used to determine the truthfulness of certain characters. For example, the High Priest of Amun described Akhenaten as “ a man of questionable birth, effeminate and grotesque (13).” Ay, on the other hand, describes Akhenaten as, “dark, tall, and slender, with small, feminine features (28).” Based on these descriptions, it is clear that the High Priest did not like Akhenaten and that Ay was more sympathetic.

  • Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat
    UPTEC X 12 012 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2012 Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Carolin Johansson Molecular Biotechnology Programme Uppsala University School of Engineering UPTEC X 12 012 Date of issue 2012-06 Author Carolin Johansson Title (English) Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Title (Swedish) Abstract This study presents mitochondrial genome sequences from 22 Egyptian house cats with the aim of resolving the uncertain origin of the contemporary world-wide population of Domestic cats. Together with data from earlier studies it has been possible to confirm some of the previously suggested haplotype identifications and phylogeny of the Domestic cat lineage. Moreover, by applying a molecular clock, it is proposed that the Domestic cat lineage has experienced several expansions representing domestication and/or breeding in pre-historical and historical times, seemingly in concordance with theories of a domestication origin in the Neolithic Middle East and in Pharaonic Egypt. In addition, the present study also demonstrates the possibility of retrieving long polynucleotide sequences from hair shafts and a time-efficient way to amplify a complete feline mitochondrial genome.
