The Deceased And His Relevance To Rhwy, Ahawy, 3nnwy, And 4nwy, Magda Gad

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En) The twofold oppositions or contrasts that complement each other are evident in Ancient Egypt. We have heaven and earth, day and night, life and death, fertile land and desert, and so good and evil. One of the most outstanding forms of dualism was the divine RHwy: Horus and Seth. The interpretation of this word differs according to the context included. On one hand, it is translated as the two companions when talking first about the gods Rea and Thoth; on the other hand, it is the two rivals Horus and Seth, apart from occasionally it is translated, as well …

Three Old Kingdom Fragmentary Reliefs And Their Owners, Ibrahim Abd El-Sattar, Shouikar Salama

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)This paper aims to publish three fragments preserved in the archaeological store at Atfiyah and belong to three mastaba tombs at Giza; two of them were mostly collapsed. The importance of this paper is due to that two fragments of those in question only contain the names of their owners (the second and the third fragments), while the first one bears some titles without its owner name. Although two fragments bear the names of their owners, these names were frequently repeated in the Old Kingdom which makes it more difficult to determine their identity. So, identifying the persons who …

A Female Scribe In The Twenty Sixth Dynasty [Iretrau], Heba Maher

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)

This research studies Iretrau’s ‘sS-sHm.t’, which was mentioned several times in her tomb. This is a clear reference to literacy. It is notable that Iretrau and her position as a scribe is one of the most complicated issues, due to the lack of texts written by her as a male scribe, as well as the absence of writing tools in her tomb. However, there are many other reasons for looking at Iretrau as a literate woman who held a scribal position with actual duties according to previous indications. The fact that Iretrau used the very plain …

All The King’S Horses: Stable Administration In New Kingdom Egypt, Tessa Genevieve David Litecky

Theses and Dissertations

Horses were an important part of Egyptian society during the New Kingdom as tools of warfare, status symbols of the elite, and an emblem of the power of kingship. However, little is known about how these animals were trained and cared for, or who was working in horse stables and their roles. There are no texts or images that explicitly explain methods of horse management. Therefore, this topic has been generally overlooked in the literature. This thesis combines two threads of evidence to create a more complete picture of the organization, purpose, and function of horse stables and the treatment …

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)

This paper tackles an important topic in ancient Egyptian religion; the «Seven Spirits». This term is repeatedly mentioned in multiple written forms in religious texts from the Middle Kingdom, the New Kingdom, and the Saite and Late Periods. It seems that these seven deities as creatures or jinn were very important in the doctrine of the dead and for their fate in the other world, as evidenced by their frequent mention in religious texts. These deities are named in association with a number of major deities, such as Ra, Osiris, Anubis, Thoth and the four sons of Horus, and …
