Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thutmose II was the king of Egypt between approximately 1493 and 1479 BC, after inheriting the throne from his father Thutmose I. It is believed he was 17 years old when his father died, and he became king, however, did not partake in the expedition to Kush to suppress the rebellion that year. The Inscription of Tuthmose II's campaign into Nubia to crush the rebelling Nubians in 1493 BC, was discovered in the late 1800s along the road between Thebes and Philae, which was an island near the first cataract of the Nile before the creation of Lake Nasser flooded the region in the in 1970s. By all accounts, Thutmose II did not participate in the campaign into Nubia, and his herald Ahmose Pen-Nekhbet did not mention the campaign in his autobiography. The inscription must have been written on the return leg of the journey from Kush, as it describes the victory over the Nubians. The inscription begins with the list of titles of the pharaoh, which includes a list of lands that the king rules. This list of countries includes the expected lands of Upper and Lower Egypt, the lands of the Minoans (Haunebu) in the Nile Delta and Sinai, the Lands of Phoenicians (Fenkhu) in Canaan and Syria, and the lands of the Nubians in Kush and the Eastern Desert. This description of Egypt implies that the southern frontier at the time was somewhere north of the sixth cataract. Based on the Autobiography of Ahmose Pen-Nekhbet's descriptions of Thutmose I's campaigns, stretches of both the Yellow and Black Niles were likely subject to the Egyptians at the time as well. Based on the described insurrection in the first year of Thutmose II's reign, supported by Egyptian settlers among the Nubians, it seems likely there was more to the story than was reported in the surviving Egyptian records. If the insurrection was not coincidentally in the first year of Thutmose II's reign, then it was caused by Tuthmose II assuming the throne, which implies one of the southern commanders of the Egyptian army led the insurrection, likely another claimant to the throne as Thutmose I's eldest son and designated heir Amenmose severed in the army as a Great Overseer of Soldiers. It is believed that Amenmose had died before Thutmose I had died, which is why his younger son Tuthmose II assumed the throne, however, given the politics of the Egyptian court at the time, it is possible Amenmose was stationed in Nubia when Thutmose I died, and Thutmose II stole the throne from him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying Ramesses IIa (TM)s Dedicatory Inscription in detail allows one to connect it with the development of the Solar-Osirian theology postdating the Amarna Period of Egypt. This study thus links the historical background of the pharaoha (TM)s visit to Abydos at the very beginning of his first regnal year with the religious aspects of early Dynasty XIX.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With volume 4 of Ancient Records of Egypt, James Henry Breasted brings us to the end of the self-governed era of ancient Egyptian civilization. Chief among the documents contained in this volume are the inscriptions from the Medinet Habu Temple, one of the most completely preserved temples of Egypt, and the great Papyrus Harris, the largest (133 feet long) and most sumptuous papyrus extant, 95 percent of which Breasted was the first to study closely. Together these documents present a detailed record of the reign and benefactions of Ramesses III, whose reign lasted more than thirty years. Volume 4 includes intriguing records of the harem conspiracy and legal documents that indicate the extent of robberies of royal tombs. Records of the Nile levels at Karnak provide important chronological landmarks, while the Stela of Piye (Piankhi), which documents the Nubian kingdom already in existence as a full-fledged power, provides information on the internal political climate of Egypt during a time when no aggressive monarch controlled the whole country. Breasted also notes where these ancient Egyptian records intersect with accounts of the same events from other sources, such as the mutiny of Psamtik I's troops as inscribed on the alabaster statue of Nesuhor and as narrated by Herodotus. In effect, Ancient Records of Egypt offers a valuable dual record. On the one hand, Breasted presents the events and personages of ancient Egypt as recorded in the documents. On the other hand, he presents a history of the documents themselves. Fragmentary or partially destroyed, carved on temple and tomb walls or written on fragile scrolls of leather or papyrus, even inscribed on the coffins and temple linens of the royal and priestly mummy wrappings, these records offer an irreplaceable primary source on a fascinating civilization.

Download or read book Mistress of the House Mistress of Heaven written by Anne K. Capel and published by Hudson Hills. This book was released on 1996 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-of-its-kind exhibit cataloged here focuses on the women of Egypt from all levels of society in works compiled strictly from American collections by American curators. Because the quantity of written records is limited (though enormous in comparison to most early societies), there is still much guesswork involved in determining the place women held in Egyptian society. It is clear that, unlike most ancient and not-so-ancient societies, Egypt conferred on women the legal right to own property and to barter their own goods, which means a larger record for current study. The essays here are both erudite and fascinating to read; the illustrations are clear and well presented in conjunction with the text. 117 colour & 112 b/w illustrations
