Book Synopsis Heliopolis the Lost City by : Asher Benowitz
Download or read book Heliopolis the Lost City written by Asher Benowitz and published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fabled district is known as Heliopolis, whose ancient classical name was derived from the name of the 'City of the Sun', once stood close to the pyramids of Abusir but on the east bank of the Nile River. The obelisks that now stand in London and New York once stood in Heliopolis. As Heliopolis remains today under tarmac roads and Cairo's northern suburbs, its monuments have largely been destroyed, leaving only a standing obelisk, some reconstructed columns, and a few stone blocks. As well as the mud-brick enclosure walls mapped by Napoleon, the sphinx avenue which so impressed the first European visitors have largely disappeared. Two centuries of desultory and often rapacious digging at Heliopolis uncovered a variety of relics dating back millennia, like Memphis on the other bank of the Nile. It is not uncommon that foundations dug for new villas or apartments in the area bring up the remains of priests' tombs, the mud-brick walls of ancient houses, or a scattering of more minor artifacts from prehistoric pottery of the last native Pharaoh. Despite its millennial celebrity, Heliopolis' most famous monument has gone undiscovered. According to ancient texts, there was a tremendous pharaonic shrine at Iunu. In the 1840s, there stood at its heart a mysterious monument that marked the center of Heliopolis' cult; the eroded wall of the temple's ancient enclosure still stands in the desert. As difficult as it is to trace the architecture of Re's shrine at Heliopolis is to uncover the origins of the god Re. Tradition has tended to read the later grand complexity of Re's role in the pharaonic kingdom back into the age of the god's beginnings. There is, however, very little evidence to support this idea.

Book Synopsis The Red Land by : Steven E. Sidebotham
Download or read book The Red Land written by Steven E. Sidebotham and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years Egypt has crowded the Nile Valley and Delta. The Eastern Desert, however, has also played a crucial-though until now little understood-role in Egyptian history. Ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley feared the desert, which they referred to as the Red Land, and were reluctant to venture there, yet they exploited the extensive mineral wealth of this region. They also profited from the valuable wares conveyed across the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea ports, which originated from Arabia, Africa, India, and elsewhere in the east. Based on twenty years of archaeological fieldwork conducted in the Eastern Desert, The Red Land reveals the cultural and historical richness of this little known and seldom visited area of Egypt. A range of important archaeological sites dating from Prehistoric to Byzantine times is explored here in text and illustrations. Among these ancient treasures are petroglyphs, cemeteries, fortified wells, gold and emerald mines, hard stone quarries, roads, forts, ports, and temples. With 250 photographs and fascinating artistic reconstructions based on the evidence on the ground, along with the latest research and accounts from ancient sources and modern travelers, the authors lead the reader into the remotest corners of the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Desert to discover the full story of the area's human history.
Book Synopsis Hellenizing Art in Ancient Nubia 300 B.C. - AD 250 and Its Egyptian Models by : László Török
Download or read book Hellenizing Art in Ancient Nubia 300 B.C. - AD 250 and Its Egyptian Models written by László Török and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a large body of evidence for the first time, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of Nubian architecture, sculpture, and minor arts in the period between 300 BC-AD 250. It focuses primarily on the Nubian response to the traditional pharaonic, Hellenistic/Roman, Hellenizing, and “hybrid” elements of Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian culture. The author begins with a history of Nubian art and a critical survey of the literature on Ptolemaic and Roman Egyptian art. Special chapters are then devoted to the discussion of the Egyptian-Greek interaction in the arts of Ptolemaic Egypt, the place of Egyptian Hellenistic and Hellenizing art within the oikumene, the pluralistic visual world of Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt, as well as on the specific genre of terracotta sculpture. Utilizing examples from Meroe City and Musawwarat es Sufra, the author argues that cultural transfer from Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt to Nubia resulted in an inward-focused adaptation. Therefore, the resulting Nubian art from this period expresses only those aspects of Egyptian and Greek art that are compatible with indigenous Nubian goals.

Book Synopsis Mathematics in Ancient Egypt by : Annette Imhausen
Download or read book Mathematics in Ancient Egypt written by Annette Imhausen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey of ancient Egyptian mathematics across three thousand years Mathematics in Ancient Egypt traces the development of Egyptian mathematics, from the end of the fourth millennium BC—and the earliest hints of writing and number notation—to the end of the pharaonic period in Greco-Roman times. Drawing from mathematical texts, architectural drawings, administrative documents, and other sources, Annette Imhausen surveys three thousand years of Egyptian history to present an integrated picture of theoretical mathematics in relation to the daily practices of Egyptian life and social structures. Imhausen shows that from the earliest beginnings, pharaonic civilization used numerical techniques to efficiently control and use their material resources and labor. Even during the Old Kingdom, a variety of metrological systems had already been devised. By the Middle Kingdom, procedures had been established to teach mathematical techniques to scribes in order to make them proficient administrators for their king. Imhausen looks at counterparts to the notation of zero, suggests an explanation for the evolution of unit fractions, and analyzes concepts of arithmetic techniques. She draws connections and comparisons to Mesopotamian mathematics, examines which individuals in Egyptian society held mathematical knowledge, and considers which scribes were trained in mathematical ideas and why. Of interest to historians of mathematics, mathematicians, Egyptologists, and all those curious about Egyptian culture, Mathematics in Ancient Egypt sheds new light on a civilization's unique mathematical evolution.

Book Synopsis Myth and Cosmos in Ancient Egyptian History by : Asher Benowitz
Download or read book Myth and Cosmos in Ancient Egyptian History written by Asher Benowitz and published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature and mythology From the New Kingdom, only ten narratives survive. These stories assume that their readers have a deep understanding of Egyptian mythology. It describes a prince who is doomed to die by a snake, crocodile, or dog, as the world's oldest fairy tale. There is no ending in the story, but it is likely that the prince was saved by the spirited princess whose hand he wins in a jumping contest.. As an extended version of the Osiris myth, Truth and Lies involves a dysfunctional family of deities whose son avenges his father, Truth, and defeats Lies' enemy. The plot revolves around a son who grows up to avenge his father, Truth, and beat his enemy, Lies. Isis is lustful and heartless, whereas the hero's mother is presented as passionate and cruel. This story contains a lot of mythological themes in a semi-disguised manner. As in the story of the Two Brothers, the female characters are also evil. A woman who the gods have blessed as a wife betrays the hero by falsely accusing him of raping his brother's wife. Anubis and Bata are two brothers with the same name as two gods (Anubis and Bata).. A time when it was still possible to meet gods and monsters just beyond Egypt's borders is depicted in the story. In both the Two Brothers and another New Kingdom tale about Seth's fight with an ocean god to save Astarte, the sea tries to capture a beautiful female. Astute is included under "Deities, Themes, and Concepts" as a partially Egyptianized myth. More fragmentary accounts describe a woman who becomes a lioness and the God Heryshef recruiting a human to help him fight a divine falcon. Contendings between Horus and Seth is the most controversial story from the New Kingdom. This is the most extended narrative that survives the conflict between the two gods and its resolution. But that does not mean it should be regarded as the only or standard version of the myth. Fables consist of all their performances, as many scholars have emphasized. This text was read aloud for entertainment, hence its narrative form. In addition to telling an ancient myth, the satire contains commentary about how difficult it is to obtain justice under New Kingdom legal systems and perhaps some veiled commentaries about recent problems with royal succession.
