Downloaded from Brill.Com10/02/2021 08:31:03PM Via Free Access 514 Appendix B Appendix B Catalogue of Royal Statuary Dated/Attributed to Amenemhet III This catalogue includes a total of 93 statues or statue fragments that I have attributed to the reign of Amenemhet III. I have divided them into five groups based primarily on their preserved inscriptions and provenance. Group 1 includes those objects that pre- serve an inscription that confirms a date during the reign of Amenemhet III; they also have a known/excavated provenance, which serves to establish their general location of origin. Statues in Group 2 also have a textually confirmed date, but without a known provenance. Group 3 contains uninscribed pieces with a known primary provenance, and Group 4 contains examples that are attributed based on style alone. Group 5 in- cludes objects with a questionable attribution that scholars have dated variously, but most likely date to the reign of Amenemhet III. Following these five main groups is a short account of objects previously dated to Amenemhet III that I have chosen not to include. Group 1 – Inscribed, Provenance Known Abgig/Begig – No. 1 Cairo, RT 22/9/25/41 Fragment from a Sphinx of Amenemhet III Material: Limestone Measurements: L/Depth = 107 cm2 Provenance: Fayum, Ezbet el-Sufi, near Abgig/Begig Comments: 1 Alternative numbers include: SR 8V/13. 2 Cairo Museum Scholar Search Database. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2020 | doi:10.1163/9789004422155_011 Lisa Saladino Haney - 9789004422155 Downloaded from Brill.com10/02/2021 08:31:03PM via free access 514 Appendix B Unfortunately, there is no published information related to the discovery of this object and there are no photographs. Further, there is little general information on the site of Abgig. A large stela/obelisk dating to Senwosret I comes from the site, which indicates some 12th Dynasty investment in the area prior to the reign of Amenemhet III.3 Description: Base of a limestone sphinx of Amenemhet III that preserves part of the posterior of the sphinx and a small portion of the text inscribed between the front legs of the ani- mal. It is possible this sphinx is executed in the same style as the maned limestone sphinxes from Elkab (Cairo CG 391 and Munich ÄS 7132), but the scanty description and the inability to access the object make it impossible to know. Inscriptions: Only the lower half of a single cartouche is preserved containing the end of the pre- nomen of Amenemhet III as well as some epithets that link him to the local god of the Fayum, Sobek of Shedet. Between Front Legs – … [(Nj]-mAat-[Ra]) mry [sbk] šdtj ḥr(y)-jb Šdyt dj Ꜥnḫ “… Nimaatre beloved of Sobek-Shedty who resides in Shedet, given life …” Bibliography: No known references.

The remains indicate that the king’s throne base was inscribed with the 42 nomes of Upper and Lower Egypt. Little of this monument has survived aside from two small towers of blocks from the statue’s pedestal. There are no remains of the actual image of the king left in situ. Inscriptions: Fragments of inscription come from the thrones and bases of the statues and from the pedestals on which they originally stood. The throne inscriptions consist of the sema- tawy motif and its associated texts.6 Quartzite fragments from the bases of the statues indicate that they were decorated with a series of figures representing the 42 nomes of Upper and Lower Egypt.7 Habachi has published two of the fragments along with their inscriptions.8 The first depicts a nome figure holding a table of offerings and the second preserves part of an inscription from one of the statue bases. The treatment of the second fragment reveals that the bases consisted of four slabs of quartzite joined together. In addition to Habachi’s fragments, Petrie found a small granite fragment, which pre- served two lines of inscription. According to Petrie, the fragment came from the jamb of the gateway to one of the statues’ enclosures.9 However, Habachi has suggested that based on the size of the fragment and its inscription, it was too small for such a pur- pose and likely came from another monument of Amenemhet III at the site.10 The inscription likely referred to repair work on some of the monuments in the Fayum.11 Corner from Base of Statue – (1) … Ꜥnḫ ḏt “… life forever.” (2) jn.n.( j) n.k … “It is to you that I have brought …” 5 Oxford AN1888.759A. 6 Habachi, “The Monument of Biyahmu,” p. 722. 7 Habachi, “The Monument of Biyahmu,” p. 724. 8 Habachi, “The Monument of Biyahmu,” pp. 726–729. 9 Petrie, Hawara, p. 55, pl.

  • Nilotic Livestock Transport in Ancient Egypt
    NILOTIC LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT IN ANCIENT EGYPT A Thesis by MEGAN CHRISTINE HAGSETH Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, Shelley Wachsmann Committee Members, Deborah Carlson Kevin Glowacki Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2015 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2015 Megan Christine Hagseth ABSTRACT Cattle in ancient Egypt were a measure of wealth and prestige, and as such figured prominently in tomb art, inscriptions, and even literature. Elite titles and roles such as “Overseer of Cattle” were granted to high ranking officials or nobility during the New Kingdom, and large numbers of cattle were collected as tribute throughout the Pharaonic period. The movement of these animals along the Nile, whether for secular or sacred reasons, required the development of specialized vessels. The cattle ferries of ancient Egypt provide a unique opportunity to understand facets of the Egyptian maritime community. A comparison of cattle barges with other Egyptian ship types from these same periods leads to a better understand how these vessels fit into the larger maritime paradigm, and also serves to test the plausibility of aspects such as vessel size and design, composition of crew, and lading strategies. Examples of cargo vessels similar to the cattle barge have been found and excavated, such as ships from Thonis-Heracleion, Ayn Sukhna, Alexandria, and Mersa/Wadi Gawasis. This type of cross analysis allows for the tentative reconstruction of a vessel type which has not been identified previously in the archaeological record.

  • Title 'Expanding the History of the Just
    Title ‘Expanding the History of the Just War: The Ethics of War in Ancient Egypt.’ Abstract This article expands our understanding of the historical development of just war thought by offering the first detailed analysis of the ethics of war in ancient Egypt. It revises the standard history of the just war tradition by demonstrating that just war thought developed beyond the boundaries of Europe and existed many centuries earlier than the advent of Christianity or even the emergence of Greco-Roman thought on the relationship between war and justice. It also suggests that the creation of a prepotent ius ad bellum doctrine in ancient Egypt, based on universal and absolutist claims to justice, hindered the development of ius in bello norms in Egyptian warfare. It is posited that this development prefigures similar developments in certain later Western and Near Eastern doctrines of just war and holy war. Acknowledgements My thanks to Anthony Lang, Jr. and Cian O’Driscoll for their insightful and instructive comments on an early draft of this article. My thanks also to the three anonymous reviewers and the editorial team at ISQ for their detailed feedback in preparing the article for publication. A version of this article was presented at the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace (June 2016), and I express my gratitude to all the participants for their feedback. James Turner Johnson (1981; 1984; 1999; 2011) has long stressed the importance of a historical understanding of the just war tradition. An increasing body of work draws our attention to the pre-Christian origins of just war thought.1 Nonetheless, scholars and politicians continue to overdraw the association between Christian political theology and the advent of just war thought (O’Driscoll 2015, 1).

  • Extraction and Use of Greywacke in Ancient Egypt Ahmed Ibrahim Othman
    JFTH, Vol. 14, Issue 1 (2017) ISSN: 2314-7024 Extraction and Use of Greywacke in Ancient Egypt Ahmed Ibrahim Othman 1 Lecturer – Tourism Guidance Department Hotel Management and Restoration Institute, Abu Qir. [ Introduction The Quseir – Qift road was the only practical route in the Central Easter Desert as it was the shortest and easiest road from the Nile Valley to the Red Sea, in addition to the richness of the Bekhen stone quarries and the gold mines. Therefore, it was the preferred road by the merchants, quarrymen and miners. The Bekhen stone quarries of Wadi Hammamat forms an archaeological cluster of inscriptions, unfinished manufactures, settlements, workshops and remaining tools. It seems clear that the state was responsible for the Bekhen stone exploitation, given the vast amount of resources that had to be invested in the organization of a quarrying expedition. Unlike the other marginal areas, the officials leading the missions to Wadi Hammamat show different affiliations in terms of administrative branches. This is probably because Bekhen stone procurement was not the responsibility of the treasury, but these expeditions were entrusted to separate competent officials, graded in a specific hierarchy, forming well – organized missions with different workers for different duties and established wages and functionaries in charge of the administrative tasks. The greywacke quarries were not constantly or intensively exploited. The fact that the stone was used in private or royal statuary and not as a building stone could have caused its demand to be less than that of other materials such as granite, limestone or sandstone. Inscriptions indicated the time lapse between expeditions suggesting that this stone was only quarried when it was needed, which was not on a regular basis.

  • Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi
    Laval University From the SelectedWorks of Fathi Habashi July, 2019 Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi Available at: https://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/416/ Pharaohs of Egypt Introduction Pharaohs were the mighty political and religious leaders who reigned over ancient Egypt for more than 3,000 years. Also known as the god-kings of ancient Egypt, made the laws, and owned all the land. Warfare was an important part of their rule. In accordance to their status as gods on earth, the Pharaohs built monuments and temples in honor of themselves and the gods of the land. Egypt was conquered by the Kingdom of Kush in 656 BC, whose rulers adopted the pharaonic titles. Following the Kushite conquest, Egypt would first see another period of independent native rule before being conquered by the Persian Empire, whose rulers also adopted the title of Pharaoh. Persian rule over Egypt came to an end through the conquests of Alexander the Great in 332 BC, after which it was ruled by the Hellenic Pharaohs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. They also built temples such as the one at Edfu and Dendara. Their rule, and the independence of Egypt, came to an end when Egypt became a province of Rome in 30 BC. The Pharaohs who ruled Egypt are large in number - - here is a selection. Narmer King Narmer is believed to be the same person as Menes around 3100 BC. He unified Upper and Lower Egypt and combined the crown of Lower Egypt with that of Upper Egypt. Narmer or Mena with the crown of Lower Egypt The crown of Lower Egypt Narmer combined crown of Upper and Lower Egypt Djeser Djeser of the third dynasty around 2670 BC commissioned the first Step Pyramid in Saqqara created by chief architect and scribe Imhotep.

The issue has often—if not always—been thought of in terms of opposition between portrait and ideal image, being a major topic in the broader question of realism and formal relation to reality in ancient Egyptian art. After a brief analysis of the problem from a theoretical point of view, the article deals with the Egyptological reception of the subject and considers the concepts involved in the notion of portrait within the context of ancient Egyptian thought. A few significant cases selected from the corpus of royal statuary are then investigated in order to elucidate the motives and modalities of the interaction between portrait and ideal image in ancient Egyptian individualized representations. إن إھتمام الفن المصري القديم بتصوير اﻹنسان بطريقة فردية مصدر لكثير من الجدل ما بين علماء المصريات حول وجود فن تصوير الوجه (البورتريه) بالمجتمع الفرعوني.

  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, [email protected] Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised. This is important During the past century some scholars have when considering the relationship between Egyptian proposed new ways of dating the events of ancient history and the Tower of Babel. The traditional dating history before c. 700 BC.1 In 1991 a book entitled of Ancient Egyptian chronology places its earliest Centuries of Darkness by Peter James and four of dynasties before the biblical dates of the Flood and his colleagues shook the very foundations of ancient confusion of the languages at Babel.

  • Historiografski Problemi Kronologije Staroegipatske Povijesti U Hrvatskim Povijesnim Znanostima I Nastavi Povijesti
    Mladen Tomorad Filozofski fakultet u Zagrebu Pregledni članak UDK: 930.24(32):930(497.5) Historiografski problemi kronologije staroegipatske povijesti u hrvatskim povijesnim znanostima i nastavi povijesti U članku autor raspravlja različite probleme vezane uz upotrebu staroegipatske kro- nologije u povijesnim znanostima. Posebno se analizira pojam datacija te daje pregled raznih metoda vremenskog određenja za arheološke nalaze, staroegipatske kronologije i računanje vremena kod starih Egipćana, podjela na dinastije te povijesnih izvora na kojima se sama kronologija zasniva. U posebnom poglavlju autor daje pregled upo- trebe raznih kronologija u povijesnim znanostima u Hrvatskoj od sredine 19. stoljeća do danas te njene upotrebe u udžbenicima povijesti. U završnom dijelu članka autor donosi novu kronologiju staroegipatske povijesti koja se zasniva na rezultatima naj- novijih istraživanja te za koju smatra da bi se trebala isključivo upotrebljavati u svim budućim povijesnim djelima. Ključne riječi: datacija, računanje vremena, kronologija, metode datiranja, Stari Egipat, faraon, dinastija, povijesni izvori, kronološke tablice 1. Datacija i metode datiranja arheoloških ostataka Svaka osoba koja se bavila izučavanjem arheološke građe zna da je jedan od najte- žih koraka prilikom znanstvene analize i obrade svakog predmeta odrediti njegovu starost. To je osobito teško u slučajevima naših vrlo starih predmeta koji se čuvaju u pojedinim muzejskim zbirkama jer je kontekst njihova nalaza najčešće nepoznat te su oni u razne institucije često stigli putem brojnih posrednika.
