The precise date of this event is debated, but it likely occurred around Regnal Year 17 or 18 of Ramesses XI (c. 1089–1088 BCE). The sources that document the 'War of the High Priest' are limited (P. Mayer A, P. BM EA 10383, P. BM EA 10052, and the Karnak Inscription) and scholarly opinion on the topic is hotly divided. What is clear, however, is that the... |
| Download Bookmark |  | In the Realm of Reputation: Private Life in Middle Kingdom Auto/biographies by Renata Landgrafova | Bookmarked by Kasia Szpakowska The Egyptian auto/biography is a complex and primarily commemorative genre that spans almost the entire existence of ancient Egyptian culture. The reason for the longevity of the genre lies primarily in its usefulness for the deceased – the auto/biography serves to create and maintain a good reputation for its owner, and through this, ultimately, his (social) immortality. The aim of the present paper is to examine the value system represented in Middle Kingdom auto/biographies using the definitions of reputation and its opposite, respectability, as coined by the anthropologist Peter Wilson.... |

| Download Bookmark |  | Narmer, Scorpion, and the Representation of the Early Egyptian Court by Jorrit Kelder | Bookmarked by Miroslav Barta Numerous academic and popular articles have been published on the Narmer Palette, the Narmer Mace-head and the Scorpion Mace-head, arguably three of the most iconic early Egyptian monuments. It is generally recognized that these three objects are the climax of a centuries-old tradition of stone-working in the Nile valley and that most of the iconographic elements on these three objects can be traced back to earlier works of art such as the wall-painting in Tomb 100 at Hierakonpolis, Naqadan rock art, and older decorated palettes and mace-heads. As such, the Narmer Palette, the Narmer... |

| Download Bookmark |  | Visibility, private religion and the urban landscape of Amarna by Anna Stevens | Bookmarked by Miroslav Barta This short paper is concerned with private religion at Amarna, broadly considered as religion beyond official temple cult. It explores the visual influences—largely in terms of visibility itself rather than content—that may have prompted and shaped religious action, behaviour and thought across the city, and the agents responsible for creating these. It asks how visibility had a bearing on how Akhetaten functioned as a living religious landscape. |
