Book excerpt: Parmi les dizaines de noms de pharaons illustres, aucun autre plus que Ramsès II ne laissa une telle impression de puissance et de grandeur. L'incroyable longévité de son règne, ses multiples épouses et son innombrable progéniture, la majesté des multiples édifices qu'il fit construire, ses victoires militaires, mais aussi son amour de la paix contribuèrent à son extraordinaire postérité. Pourtant, Ramsès II n'est pas seulement une figure légendaire : son règne et sa personnalité font l'objet de grandes discussions entre les spécialistes de l'histoire égyptienne. Dans cet ouvrage, T.G.H. James, célèbre égyptologue, s'est attaché à nous raconter l'histoire passionnante de Ramsès II. Grâce à ses connaissances érudites, il est parvenu à dissiper les idées préconçues sur une période historique célèbre et un roi élevé au rang de mythe. L'auteur nous livre un portrait de Ramsès II très complet, en décrivant le contexte historique dans lequel il vécut, puis en analysant les différents aspects de sa personnalité et les caractéristiques de son règne. Illustré par de superbes photographies, cartes et dessins spécialement conçus pour cet ouvrage, ce récit passionnera tous ceux que la splendeur éternelle de l'Ancienne Egypte fait rêver.
Download or read book Maat Revealed Philosophy of Justice in Ancient Egypt written by Anna Mancini and published by BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Categories: Egyptology, philosophy of law, history of religions Unlike ancient Rome, Egypt did not transmit any legal system to us, but rather an idea of justice our modern minds can hardly understand. In the ancient Egyptian world, almost all the texts and inscriptions speak of justice. All the texts of wisdom teach that one has to conform to Maat, an obscure and omnipresent concept that Egyptologists have translated into the expression "Goddess of Truth and Justice." Egyptian justice is so different from ours that Egyptologists and historians of religions believe they have not yet fully understood its meaning. They regret this fact because understanding Maat would be a gateway to a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptian world. As for lawyers, they have limited themselves to the Greco-Roman sources on the philosophy of Justice and the discoveries of Egyptologists in this philosophical field remain thoroughly ignored. Thanks to her experience in ancient history of law and her ability to understand ancient symbols, the author provides Egyptology with the missing pieces that were needed to form a coherent image of Maat. Once revealed, Maat sheds a new and unexpected light on the whole of Egyptian civilization. As a bridge between traditionally separate fields of academic research, this book is a useful and groundbreaking contribution to Egyptology, the history of religions and the modern philosophy of law.

Download or read book The Invention of Time and Space written by Patrice F. Dassonville and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation of time and space is motivated by gaps in our current understanding: by the lack of definitions, by our failure to appreciate the nature of these entities, by our inability to pin down their properties. The author's approach is based on two key ideas: The first idea is to seek the geo-historical origins of time and space concepts. A thorough investigation of a diversified archaeological corpus, allows him to draft coherent definitions; it furthermore gives clues as to whether time and space were discovered or invented. The second idea is to define the units before trying to define space and time. The results presented here are unexpected: Time and space were not discovered in nature, but they were invented; time is not a phenomenon and space has no materiality; they are only concepts. This runs contrary to the opinion of most scientific and the philosophical authorities, although one would seek in vain for a theoretical validation of the conventional position. This book will provide much food for thought for philosophers and scientists, as well as interested general readers.
