Download or read book Rocks in Motion written by Pawe? L. Polkowski and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2024-08-31 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First, fully illustrated, presentation of a large but generally little known assemblage of petroglyphic rock art from the Western Desert of Egypt. Rock art in Dakhleh was produced for perhaps as long as 10 millennia, resulting in the formation of hundreds of sites displaying thousands of images. In some places, petroglyphs form a true melting pot of iconographic creations, elsewhere only isolated depictions appear on rock surfaces. Various rock art traditions, from prehistoric, through pharaonic, Graeco-Roman, and mediaeval, have all added to a tremendous variety of petroglyphs, their formal traits and subject matter. This book is the first ever monograph on Dakhleh Oasis rock art, providing both an introduction to the versatile topic as well as an overview of the current state of research. It is designed as a collection of essays that deal with specific aspects of the research. The reader is offered here not only old and new documentation, much of it previously unpublished, but also a great deal of innovative interpretation. All chapters, although devoted to different case studies, revolve around an all-encompassing concept of landscape of motion. It is argued here that rock art, regardless of its date of origin, was (and is) always involved in certain dynamic contexts. In Dakhleh, the majority of petroglyphs – especially during historical periods – were produced in spatial contexts of paths and routes, and thus by people on the move. It is argued here that various kinds of movement were often a significant factor contributing to the meaning and function of the images. The intention of this book is to explore and unveil such contexts, which may prove somewhat elusive if we focus our analyses exclusively on the representational aspects of rock art. Such a type of integration of rock art, landscape and motion is the major aim of this work, and has hopefully been achieved by merging perspectives and concepts derived from Egyptology, Anthropology, and other social sciences.

Download or read book Egyptian Religion written by Jan Quaegebeur and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 1582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final stages of Egyptian religion from the Saite period until the rise of christianity are studied here by nearly a hundred scholars from all over the world. The book represents the state of the art on a fascinating period, when paganism in all its forms gradually yielded to monotheism. It combines philology and archaeology, with more than twenty contributions offering a presentation of unknown textual and iconographic material. Egyptian deities and temples are discussed both from the point of view of institutions and of personal religion. In the multicultural society of Graeco-Roman Egypt the relationship between native Egyptians and Greek culture is always at the center of the interest. Thanks to the indexes this will become a standard work of reference in the field of Egyptian religion. The volume is dedicated to Jan Quaegebeur and reflects his wide scope of interests and his impact upon present-day study of Egypt in the Graeco-Roman period.

Download or read book Illuminating Osiris written by Richard Jasnow and published by Lockwood Press. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminating Osiris comprises twenty-seven articles by students, friends, and colleagues in honor of Mark Smith, Professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford. Smith is especially renowned as a Demoticist and specialist in ancient Egyptian religion. His numerous Demotic text editions and translations of Egyptian funerary and religious compositions have been enormously influential in the field. The contributions in Illuminating Osiris naturally reflect Smith's particular interests in the religion and literature of Graeco-Roman period Egypt, dealing with cult, rituals, astronomy, and divination, among other subjects. The book includes many editions or reeditions of texts written in Demotic, Hieratic, and Ptolemaic Hieroglyphs. It is profusely illustrated and supplied with detailed indices.

Download or read book Interprétations de Moïse written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the result of a team research which gathered biblical scholars, philologists, and historians of religions, on the issue of the multiple "Interpretations of Moses" inherited from the ancient mediterranean cultures. The concrete outcome of this comparative inquiry is the common translation and commentary of the fragments from the works of the mysterious Artapanus. The comparative perspective suggested here is not so much methodological, or thematic. It is first of all an invitation to cross disciplinary boundaries and to take account of the contributions of diverse cultures to the formation of a single mythology, in the case, a Moses mythology. With respect to Judea, Greece, Egypt or Rome, and further more an emerging christianity and its "gnostic" counterpart, the figure of Moses is at the heart of a cross-cultural dialogue the pieces of which, if they can be seperated for the confort of their specific study, mostly gain by being put together. Contributions by: Daniel Barbu, René Bloch, Philippe Borgeaud, Sabrina Inowlocki-Meister, Caterina Moro, Thomas Römer, Matthieu Smyth, Youri Volokhine, and Claudio Zamagni Ce volume est le fruit d’un travail d’équipe, qui a réuni des biblistes, des philologues, et des historiens des religions autour des multiples « Interprétations de Moïse » que nous ont léguées les cultures de la Méditerranée antique. Le résultat pratique de cette enquête comparatiste culmine dans la traduction et le commentaire à « douze mains » des fragments du mystérieux Artapan, qui ouvrent le volume. Le comparatisme proposé dans le présent volume ne se veut ni méthodologique ni thématique, mais vise d’abord à franchir les frontières disciplinaires, tout en envisageant les apports culturels respectifs contribuant à la formation d’une mythologie, en l’occurrence celle de Moïse. Entre la Judée, l’Egypte, la Grèce, Rome, et bien-sûr le christianisme naissant et l’univers « gnostique » qui l’accompagne, la figure de Moïse est au cœur d’un dialogue, dont les pièces, si elles peuvent être disjointes pour la commodité de l’étude, gagnent surtout à être rapprochées.

Download or read book Construction of the figure of Moses written by Thomas Römer and published by Peeters. This book was released on 2007 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moise est sans doute la figure la plus importante de la Bible hebraique. Les differentes traditions sur Moise s'expliquent pour la plupart dans le contexte des periodes perse et hellenistique, lorsque celui-ci sert de figure de l gitimation a differents courants a partir desquels va se constituer le judaisme. Or, la Bible ne contient pas l'ensemble des traditions sur Moise; il existe d'autres legendes chez des auteurs juifs et paiens des epoques perse, hellenistique et romaine. Quelques-unes des traditions que l'on trouve chez ces auteurs sont apparemment aussi anciennes que celles qui ont trouve leur entree dans le document officiel du judaisme. Certaines sont meme a rapprocher d'aspects de Moise apparaissant dans la litterature biblique. Mais on ne peut postuler globalement qu'elles modifient a chaque fois une tradition biblique deja immuable. Ce volume est issu d'une rencontre entre chercheurs en sciences bibliques, en sciences des religions et en histoire du judaisme et du christianisme, des Universites de Manchester, Sheffield, Geneve et Lausanne. Ce symposium s'est tenu du 11 au 13 mai 2006 sous le titre: La construction de la figure de Moise. Il s'agissait, dans le cadre d'un travail interdisciplinaire, de faire le point sur la construction du personnage de Moise depuis l'epoque perse jusqu'a l'epoque romaine, sans pour autant renoncer a poser le probleme de ses origines. Les differentes contributions dressent le portrait d'un Moise aux multiples facettes. En ce qui concerne plus particulierement le dossier biblique, qui demeure probablement la source la plus importante sur Moise, les textes reunis ici nous invitent non seulement a repenser la formation de l'histoire biblique de Moise, mais aussi a prendre en consideration qu'elle ne constitue qu'une selection d'histoires en circulation durant les periodes perse et hellenistique et dans lesquelles se rencontrent le Levant, la Grece et l'Egypte.

Download or read book The Decree of Saïs written by Anne-Sophie von Bomhard and published by Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: von Bomhard presents an edition of the stela found during underwater excavations in the Abukir Bay, at the site of ancient Thonis-Heracleion, and inscribed with the Decree of Sais. The text is a parallel to that inscribed on another stela found at Naucratis at the turn of last century. The author gives an introduction to the discovery of the two stelae, as well as a description of the monuments, including the scenes and captions found in the lunette (Part II). von Bomhard goes on to discuss the arrangement of the texts and figures depicted on the decree, and the possible symbolism behind them. The bulk of the text is occupied by a careful transliteration and translation of the text, followed by an exhaustive bibliography, an index of words discussed, a synoptic overview of orthographic and figurative variations, and an index of Egyptian words. This is an important work that contributes to the understanding of royal benefactions to temples and aspects of trade and taxation systems in force at the time of the decree.

Book excerpt: This monograph presents the almost completely reconstituted Naos of the Decades with an excellent set of photographic images. The four additional fragments, recovered in East Canopus during the excavations of the European Institute of Underwater Archaeology, are examined with the two original fragments from the Louvre and Greco Roman Museum (Egypt). The largest of the new fragments consists of a cosmogony of over 20 columns with no known parallel, disproving the order of the decades as it was initially assumed and suggesting a far older tradition of Egyptian astrology.

Download or read book Maritime Archaeology and Ancient Trade in the Mediterranean written by Andrew Wilson and published by Oxford Centre for Maritime Archaeology. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime Archaeology and Ancient Trade in the Mediterranean comprises twelve papers that look at the shifting patterns of maritime trade as seen through archaeological evidence across the economic cycle of Classical Antiquity. Papers range from an initial study of Egyptian ship wrecks dating from the sixth to fifth century BC from the submerged harbour of Heracleion-Thonis through to studies of connectivity and trade in the eastern Mediterranean during the Late Antique period. The majority of the papers, however, focus on the high point in ancient maritime trade during the Roman period and examine developments in shipping, port facilities and trading routes.
