Cahail | Bookmarked by Kasia Szpakowska The site of South Abydos was home to royal mortuary complexes of both the late Middle, and New Kingdoms, belonging to Senwosret III and Ahmose. Thanks to both recent and past excavations, both of these royal establishments are fairly well understood. Yet, we lack a clear picture of the mortuary practices of the non-royal individuals living and working in the shadow of these institutions. For both periods, the main question is where the tombs of the non-royal citizens might exist. Additionally for the Middle Kingdom is the related issue of how these people commemorated their dead...

The purpose of this paper is to re-evaluate the conven- tionally accepted dates of this event. It is commonly held that Inaros rebelled on hearing about the death of Xerxes, King of Persia in 465/4 B.C. The ensuing struggle between Persia and Egypt, supported by Athenian allies, is commonly dated between 460/59 and 454 B.C. This reconstruction of dates and events is based on acceptance of the version given by Thucydides, his interpretation of the political situation in Greece and...

The problematic career of Pinuzem by Ad Thijs | Bookmarked by Mariam Ayad This article investigates some of the problems caused by the theory that the High Priest Pinuzem, son of Piankh, took on a (semi) royal status in year 15 or 16 of Smendes which is supposed to have lasted at least until year 8 of Psusennes I. It is shown that this reconstruction is not supported by the very source it is based on and fails to explain why and when royal scenes of Pinuzem in the Temple of Khonsu were reworked into pontifical representations. The model is also hard to combine with the existence of the Banishment Stele. This article serves as a prelude for: Ad Thijs, The scenes...

Download Bookmark Egyptian and Egyptianising Scarab-shaped Seals in Syria and Lebanon by Vanessa Boschloos | Bookmarked by Ellen Morris "A doctoral research project pertaining to the presence, evolution and distribution of Egyptian scarabs in the northern Levant was conducted by Vanessa Boschloos at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Royal Museums of Art and History of Brussels. Present-day Lebanon and Syria yielded a large number of scarab-shaped seals, both Egyptian imports and non-Egyptian imitations and adaptations. They are mainly known from excavation reports but remain largely unstudied. For the first time, an exhaustive catalogue of provenanced finds from this region is offered and completes research that, until... Download Bookmark Share your papers Upload Your Papers
