  • A Comparative Study with the Opet Festival- Masashi FUK
    DISTRIBUTION OF LIFE FORCE IN THE FESTIVAL OF THE VALLEY -A Comparative Study with the Opet Festival- Masashi FUK.AYA * Among known festivals celebrated in ancient Thebes, many Egyptologists agree that the Festivals of the Valley and of Opet are the most important. This is verified by many historical documents, which juxtapose the two festivals in texts and pictorial depictions on a great scale. Thus, it is significant to compare the two festivals to obtain better insight into their detailed religious context and new perspectives for further research, which has not been pursued, particularly for the Valley Festival, since the 1950's. This article intends to shed light on the Valley Festival, focusing on the socio-religious function by an analogy with the Opet Festival, research of which has gained modest but not negligible progress in the last two decades. The most distinct feature of the Valley Festival was that it supplied not only a formal setting for the renewal of kingship and royal ancestral cult, but also a private setting for the common people to hold a banquet in their family tombs. These two dimensions were closely linked through the figure of Amen, who distributed offerings to convey his godly power in both spheres. According to records from the private tombs, the people received various offerings from the temples where the procession of Amen made a stop during the Valley Festival. Yet the distribution of temple offerings is not attributed only to the Valley Festival, but also to many other festivals. What distinguishes the Valley Festival then? By focusing on the differences in ideologies between the Valley and the Opet Festivals, this paper will explore how the god (or king) and the people were interrelated during the festivals in different manners.

  • Come My Staff, I Lean Upon You: an Iconographic and Contextual Study of Sticks and Staves from 18Th Dynasty Egypt
    The American University in Cairo School of Humanities and Social Sciences Come My Staff, I Lean Upon You: an Iconographic and Contextual Study of Sticks and Staves from 18th Dynasty Egypt A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology (SAPE) In partial fulfillment of the requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts By: Nicholas R. Brown Under the Supervision of Dr. Salima Ikram First Reader: Dr. Lisa Sabbahy Second Reader: Dr. Fayza Haikal December, 2015 DEDICATION “All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. This I did.” -T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom To my grandmother, Nana Joan. For first showing me the “Wonderful Things” of ancient Egypt. I love you dearly. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many individuals and institutions to whom I would like to express my deepest gratitude and thankfulness. Without their help, encouragement, support, and patience I would not have been able to complete my degree nor this thesis. Firstly, to my advisor Dr. Salima Ikram: I am grateful for your suggesting the idea of studying sticks in ancient Egypt, and for the many lessons that you have taught and opportunities you have provided for me throughout this entire process. I am, hopefully, a better scholar (and speller!) because of your investment in my research. Thank you. To my readers Doctors Lisa Sabbahy and Fayza Haikal, thank you for taking the time to review, comment upon, and edit my thesis draft.

It is also displays the strong relation existed between the Ancient Egyptian and each of these animals, and how it is affected in all of his aspects in life, especially the religious side. Key Words: Animals, Bestiary, Animal Gods, Ancient Egypt. Introduction The ancient Egyptian was a great observant to nature around him since the prehistoric period. He noticed the strong and fearless lion, so he became associated with the king himself, each town or major settlement adopted an animal as a symbol of it and had its own temple. They used to give offerings to its spirit as a respect for its qualities and to avoid its evilness. During the New Kingdom the Ancient Egyptians became more involved in the symbolism of the animals which was obvious in the religious matters. At the New kingdom in particular, the hunting hobby became even more popular and the outer trade and relations were increased. The living animals along with the animal products were a main type of tribute that delivered to Egypt.

Ankhesenpaaten-ta-sherit ….. Father Amenhotep III Mother Tiye Died 1336 or 1334 BC. Akhenaton (/ɑɑɑɑ kənɑɑɑ tən Spelled Echnaton, Akhenaton, Ikhnaton, and Khuenaten; meaning "living spirit of Aten") known before the fifth year of his reign asAmenhotep IV (sometimes given its Greek form Amenophis IV, and meaning Amun is Satisfied), was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt who ruled for 17 years and died perhaps in 1336 BC or 1334 BC. He is especially noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten , which is sometimes described as monotheistic or henotheistic . An early inscription likens the Aten to the sun as compared to stars, and later official language avoids calling the Aten a god, giving the solar deity a status above mere gods. Akhenaton tried to bring about a departure from traditional religion , yet in the end it would not be accepted. After his death, traditional religious practice was gradually restored, and when some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaton and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaton himself as "the enemy" in archival records He was all but lost from history until the discovery, in the 19th century, of Amarna , the site of Akhenaton, the city he built for the Aten.

  • El Simbolismo De La Vid Y El Orden Cósmico Después De La Reforma Amarniana
    El simbolismo de la vid y el orden cósmico después de la reforma amarniana María Violeta Pereyra 1 Silvana Lorena Yomaha 2 (UN Tucumán) Introducción El análisis de las representaciones registradas en la decoración parietal de las tumbas del antiguo Egipto imperial requiere replantear su polisemia y función social, que las alejan de cualquier idea del arte que ponga énfasis en la creatividad del autor de una obra. De manera usual la iconografía funeraria se presentó asociada a inscripciones de variado género para conformar un texto estético unitario. Así, en tanto que las representaciones de los antiguos egipcios, no parecen reductibles a un abordaje que tome en cuenta sólo el aspecto figurativo, tampoco las inscripciones jeroglíficas son susceptibles de ser analizadas como un discurso puramente lingüístico. Una consideración de la compleja naturaleza del lenguaje contenido en las evidencias que los historiadores utilizamos como fuentes para la reconstrucción de un proceso se impone, en consecuencia, como reflexión previa a su interpretación. Nuestro objetivo es analizar aquí el uso de la representación en el antiguo Egipto, en particular a fines de la dinastía 18, para comprender su función en los monumentos funerarios privados del período. El enfoque aborda el uso de la temática relativa a la vid en las tumbas de la elite, a fin de comprender la presencia de dos escenas en la tumba tebana 3 n° 49, monumento funerario de Neferhotep, hijo de Neby.4 Nuestro trabajo tiene en cuenta que la pintura parietal de las tumbas egipcias se ajustó a un programa decorativo codificado y prescripto por el poder gubernativo.
