    I Andrzej WIERCINSKI, Warszawa PYRAMIDS AND ZIGGURATS AS THE ARCHITECTONIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ARCHETYPE OF THE COSMIC MOUNTAIN. Part I "Is there a man of you who by anxious thought can add a cubit to the age of his life? "(The Gospel of St. Matthew, 6, 27, according to Greek text) 1. Explanation of the problem The astrobiological religion played the role of a main ideological system which regulated societies of the formative-theocratic phase of cultural development of mankind which was distinguished by the rise of cultic centers of the monumental architecture. The latter ones were the cores of early urbanisation process. This religion has precised a model of the world with well defined position of man within it, and the sense of his activities. Its essence consisted of a dynamical and informational principle of transformation of an Absolute One into pairs of polarised opposites which, in turn, create an universal frame of reference of Cardinal Points organizing the time-spatial order of rhythmically repeating and mutually synchron­ ised cosmic, biological and socio-cultural processes and, at last, the psychic processes of the human individual. All these was vivified, personificated and deified ( for the main assumtions of the model see: A. Wiercinski, 19761 ). The astrobiological model of the world and man was statically patterned in mutually equivalent, due to a symbolical analogisation, archetypical (in Jungian sense) and iconic-numerical representations. Among them, the main position has been occupied by: the Cosmic Mountain, the Cosmic Tree � Cosmic Ladder � Cosmic Pillar, the Mandala, the Cosmic Man� man as Microcosmos and, © Del documento, los autores.

    The Cradle of Pyramids.Wps

    The cradle of pyramids in satellite images Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Dipartimento di Fisica, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy We propose the use of image processing to enhance the Google Maps of some archaeological areas of Egypt. In particular we analyse that place which is considered the cradle of pyramids, where it was announced the discovery of a new pyramid by means of an infrared remote sensing. Saqqara and Dahshur are burial places of the ancient Egypt. Saqqara was the necropolis of Memphis, the ancient capital of the Lower Egypt. This place has many pyramids, including the well-known step pyramid of Djoser, and several mastabas. As told in Wikipedia, 16 Egyptian kings built pyramids there and the high officials added their tombs during the entire pharaonic period [1]. The necropolis remained an important complex for non-royal burials and cult ceremonies till the Roman times. Dahshur is another royal necropolis located in the desert on the west bank of the Nile [2]. The place is well-known for several pyramids, two of which are among the oldest and best preserved in Egypt. Therefore this site can be properly considered as the cradle of Egyptian pyramids [3]. Figure 1 shows the Djoser pyramid and the Great Enclosure at Saqqara. The two images have been obtained from Google Maps after an image processing with two programs, AstroFracTool, based on the calculus of the fractional gradient, and the wavelet filtering of Iris, as discussed in Ref.4. The reader can compare the images with the original Google Maps, using the coordinates given in the figure [5].

    Location of the Old Kingdom Pyramids in Egypt Miroslav Bârta The principal factors influencing the location of the Old Kingdom pyramids in Egypt are reconsidered. The decisive factors influencing their distribution over an area of c. eighty kilometres were essentially of economic, géomorphologie, socio-political and unavoidably also of religious nature. Primary importance is to be attributed to the existence of the Old Kingdom capital of Egypt, Memphis, which was a central place with regard to the Old Kingdom pyramid fields. Its economic potential and primacy in the largely redistribution- driven state economy sustained construction of the vast majority of the pyramid complexes in its vicinity. The location of the remaining number of the Old Kingdom pyramids, including many of the largest ever built, is explained using primarily archaeological evidence. It is claimed that the major factors influencing their location lie in the sphere of general trends governing ancient Egyptian society of the period. For millennia, megaliths and monumental arts were pyramids see Edwards 1993; Fakhry 1961; Hawass commissioned by the local chieftains and later by the 2003; Lehner 1997; Stadelmann 1985; 1990; Vallogia kings of Egypt. The ideological reasons connected 2001; Verner 2002; Dodson 2003). The reasons that may with the construction and symbolism of the pyra­ be put forward to explain their location and arrange­ mids were manifold, and in most cases obvious: the ment are numerous but may be divided into two basic manifestation of power, status and supremacy over groups: practical and religious. It will be argued that the territory and population, the connection with the whereas the general pattern in the distribution of the sacred world and the unlimited authority of the rulers pyramid sites may be due mainly to practical reasons, (O'Connor & Silverman 1995).

    The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.01.17 Word Count 765 Level 870L The Great Pyramid of Giza, also called the Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt. The Great Pyramid was originally covered by casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface. Photo: Jerome Bon/Wikimedia Commons The pyramids of Egypt are among history's greatest buildings. A pyramid is a building with four triangle-shaped sides and a square base. The peak of pyramid building began late in Egypt's third dynasty. It continued until about the sixth, around 2325 B.C. In ancient Egypt, a dynasty was a period where all of the rulers were from a single family. The Egyptian pyramids are still a sight to see. They give us a peek into the country’s rich and glorious past. The Pharaoh in Egyptian Society During the third and fourth dynasties, Egypt prospered greatly. Kings, or pharaohs, held a special position in Egyptian society. They were believed to have been chosen by the gods. Ancient Egyptians believed that when the pharaoh died, part of his spirit remained with his body. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. 1 To properly care for his spirit, his body was mummified. Everything the king would need in the afterlife was buried with him. This included gold bowls and cups, food, furniture and other offerings. The Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs.

    Press Release Sahure

    PRESS RELEASE Belgian Archaeological Mission to Elkab discovers important fragment of unique Old Kingdom royal statue Since 2009, the Belgian Archaeological Mission to Elkab, directed by Dr. Dirk Huyge of the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels, has focused its research on the settlement area of Elkab. Excavation campaigns in 2009, 2010 and 2012 have revealed the presence of a vast habitation area, situated within the Late Period Great Walls, immediately north and west of the temple zone. The oldest occupation phase dates back to the prehistoric Badarian culture (ca. 4200 BC); the most recent one concerns the early Old Kingdom (ca. 2700-2500 BC). The finds at Elkab demonstrate a continuous occupation of the site during almost two millennia. They bear witness to the on-the-spot gradual transition from a prehistoric (Neolithic/Predynastic) village lifestyle to a fully-developed Old Kingdom urban society. The latest test trenches executed at the site in February-March 2015 have allowed the mission to better document both the important 2 nd Dynasty habitation layers, including substantial rectangular buildings with large walls and stone foundations, as well as the late Predynastic (Naqada III period) occupation. The most exceptional find of the 2015 campaign, however, was that of a fragment (base and lower part of legs) of an Old Kingdom royal statue. The preserved height is 21.7 cm. The inscriptions on the fragment have been independently verified and read by Egyptologists Prof. John Coleman Darnell (Yale University, New Haven, US) and Dr. Luc Delvaux (Royal Museums of Art and History, Brussels, Belgium).

ABSTRACT There is a tradition according to which the ancient Egyptians were the most civilized people that ever lived. This researcher contests this tradition and argue that the Semitic Peoples and the archaeological findings in Egypt are primary in developing the construct according to which human civilization started from Egypt. The purpose of this research is to firstly shed light on the reasons that led to the development of the tradition of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and secondly, to highlight the implications of the perception of the ancient Egyptian civilization on other Africans.

Four sanctuaries still remain to be discovered.

    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVI 2013 MIROSLAV VERNER Missing Royal Boat Graves at Abusir? 714 MIROSLAV VERNER Burials of boats in the Old Kingdom pyramid complexes rank among a number of questions which have been debated for a long time but, so far, have not as yet had any satisfactory answers.1 For example, it remains to be explained why such fundamental questions as the meaning of these boats (which might have changed in the course of time), the fl uctuating number of boats buried in one pyramid complex, the absence of boat graves in some pyramid complexes, etc., have not been answered. This brief article does not strive to tackle all these complex problems. Rather, it seeks to deal with only one archaeological aspect of the boat graves concerning the royal cemetery at Abusir. Not surprisingly, an impetus for this refl ection was provided by the Abusir papyri. Among the papyri coming from Neferirkare’s mortuary temple archive there are two fragments (one of them, 31 A, is now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo whereas the second one, 31 B, is in the British Museum in London) the texts of which directly refer to the funerary boats which had originally been part of Neferirkare’s pyramid complex.2 The text on fragment B specifi es that the boats were two and were called the South Boat and the North Boat. Moreover, the text also mentions the extent of damage revealed during the inspection of the South Boat.
