  • Names from Demotic Egyptian Sources
    Names from Demotic Egyptian Sources 2nd Edition by Daniel L Lind (Sneferu sa Djedi mewetif Merit) Introduction Registration of ancient Egyptian names is a relatively new thing in the SCA. As of July 2015 names recorded in either demotic script or Coptic became registerable with the SCA College of Arms. The full decision on the subject can be read at the following link: http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2015/07/15-07lar.html#57 This article only attempts to address names and name patterns recorded in demotic script. Names and name patterns recorded in Coptic are found elsewhere. Names and name patterns found in the first edition of this article were taken from the book Oriental Institute Hawara Papyri Demotic and Greek Texts from an Egyptian Family Archive in the Fayum (Fourth to Third Century BC) by George R Hughes and Richard Jasnow with a contribution by James G. Keenan. This second edition adds names from the Catalog of the Demotic Texts in the Brooklyn Museum by George R Hughes. This edition adds two hundred and eighty three additional names for a total of three hundred and seventy five along with sections on unisex names. There are also corrections to several translation errors found in the previous edition. The data on frequency of names has been expanded to include citations in hieroglyphs, hieratic, Greek, Coptic, and Latin. This intended to more accurately show the popularity of the various names in their period context . Data for this change comes from the Trismegistos database. A few names included herein are taken directly from Trismegistos without reference to the aforementioned books.

Received March 2017; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT The Southern hemisphere of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet has become visible from Rosetta only since March 2015. It was illuminated during the perihelion passage and therefore it contains the regions that experienced the strongest heating and erosion rate, thus exposing the subsurface most pristine material. In this work we investigate, thanks to the OSIRIS images, the geomorphology, the spectrophotometry and some transient events of two Southern hemisphere regions: Anhur and part of Bes.

The southern hemisphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P) became observable by the Rosetta mission in March 2015, a few months before cometary southern vernal equinox. The Anhur region in the southern part of the comet’s larger lobe was found to be highly eroded, enriched in volatiles, and highly active. Aims. We analyze high-resolution images of the Anhur region pre- and post-perihelion acquired by the OSIRIS imaging system on board the Rosetta mission. The Narrow Angle Camera is particularly useful for studying the evolution in Anhur in terms of morphological changes and color variations. Methods. Radiance factor images processed by the OSIRIS pipeline were coregistered, reprojected onto the 3D shape model of the comet, and corrected for the illumination conditions. Results.

  • The Cryptographic Cartouche of "Nectanebo II" from the Great Temple of " Pr-Bastt " Dr
    (JOURNAL OF The General Union OF Arab Archaeologists (3 ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ The cryptographic cartouche of "Nectanebo II" from the great temple of " pr-BAstt " Dr. Mohamed Elbayoumi Mohamed Abstract: Rosenow refers to unusual cartouches discovered in the "Nectanebo II" temple at "Tell Basta" written in cryptographic form, and suggests that these cartouches may be for Nectanebo "Nxt-Hr-Hbt-mry-In-Hr-sA-BAstt".(1)However, the deities onto these cartouches are not the same. This notice attracted my attention to study these cartouches and other fragments that were found in the same area, comparing them with others belonging to the same king. Thus, the aim of this paper is to introduce the cryptography system(2) that was used in writing these unique cartouches. Through this writing system, the paper interprets the religious and political reasons that led to writing the king's name in such a way. Also, this research reveals how the first cryptographic cartouche of Nectanebo includes the Bubastis triad, and at the same time compiles symbols of the most important architectural achievements of the king: the Onuris temple in Samanud, the temple of Behbeit, and the Bastet temple in Tell-Basta, while the other cartouches mixed the Memphite triad with Bubastis triad. Keywords: Nectanebo, cartouches, cryptographic, Tell Basta, triad, deities, Onuris Assistant professor of Egyptology department of archaeology-Faculty of Arts-Tanta university. [email protected] * I would like to thank prof. Dr. Eva Lange for reviewing this article. (1)Rosenow, D., "The great temple of Bastet",13. ; Spencer, A., "A Naos of Nekhthorheb", 45. (2)Drioton refers to many articles about the cryptographic writing from the Old kingdom to Greco- Roman era,and Silverman added that the cryptographic writing with the beginning of New kingdom became well Known,and it was used for aesthetic or religious reasons.
