Origins of the Just War
War and Order in Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt (1550‒1295 BCE)
This paper studies royal inscriptions of the Eighteenth Dynasty—a period of extensive military activity in Nubia and the Levant—to examine the prevailing assumption that earthly wars were conceived as mirroring a cosmic struggle between order and chaos. Instead, the sources suggest a more intricate picture, in which royal prerogative and divine will are at play, often ambiguously intertwined
The Tears of Re
The Tears of Re: Beekeeping in Ancient Egypt. By Gene Kritsky. New York: Oxford University Press, 2015. Pp. xiii + 133, illus. $29.95
The Writing Hand and the Seated Baboon
This paper offers an interpretation of statue Metropolitan Museum of Art 29.2.16 and analyzes the interplay of its two main components, the scribe and the baboon. The statue thematizes the intersection of writing, adoration and true judgment, while calling attention to points of tension between the figure of the scribe and the image of the baboon
