Did Akhenaten’s Founding of Akhetaten Cause a Malaria Epidemic
This paper presents and discusses evidence for changes in the environment that would have taken place at the site of Amarna, ancient Akhetaten, during the rapid building and populating of the city in the reign of King Akhenaten. The evidence suggests that the effect of the founding of this city, with all the consequences of a changed environment on both sides of the river, could have been responsible for a malaria epidemic. This scenario is backe…
The King Sitting Backward in His Chariot
Ramesside Period kings covered temple walls with decorative relief detailing their military expeditions and subsequent victories. Included in these reliefs were new types of scenes with new details, including one scene in which the king sits backward in his chariot, receiving live captives and cut off body parts as proof of his victory. This article presents the evidence for this particular chariot scene, and discusses the meaning and use of it a…
Gender, Pharaonic Egypt
Ancient Egyptian society was highly gendered. Participation in most aspects of ancient Egyptian life depended on whether one was male or female. Positions, jobs, and almost all types of labor were divided by sex.
Women, Pharaonic Egypt
There is abundant evidence, both written and pictorial, for women in ancient Egypt. We can glimpse the lives of royal, noble, as well as peasant women, although there are limitations on how clearly we can comprehend their actual status and role in ancient Egyptian society. Most of the pictorial evidence we have is from tombs, which only royalty or nobility could afford to build, and the reliefs and statuary in them show a perfect world meant for …
Family, Pharaonic Egypt
Getting married and having children in ancient Egypt was clearly the societal norm. Ideally, the ancient Egyptians expected marriage to be monogamous and lifelong, although divorce certainly existed and did not seem to affect remarriage. A recent study based on literary and artistic evidence concluded “affection and love were an integral part of the ideals of marriage in ancient Egypt” (Gee 2008: 103).
Queens, Pharaonic Egypt
The word for queen in ancient Egypt was hemetnesw , “wife of the king,” making clear that the position and importance of this women was her physical relationship to the king.
Isis, Pharaonic Egypt
The goddess Isis was important in ancient Egypt for her role in the myth of Osiris, her husband‐brother who ruled as king.
Great Queen
The title hemet nesw weret , “king' great wife,” or “king' principal wife,” began to be used in ancient Egypt during the time of the very late Middle Kingdom, roughly around 1700 BCE , as an indication of rank within the king' harem.
The Titulary of the Harem of Nebhepetre Mentuhotep, Once Again
Robyn Gillam in discussing the harem of the Eleventh Dynasty king, Nebhepetre Mentuhotep, in JARCE 32 (1995), makes errors in the attribution of titles to Queens Nfrw and Tm, and fails to convincingly explain the position of the six other women bearing the title king's wife.1 Gillam 's discussion relies in part on one put forth earlier by William Ward, which in turn was flawed because it used Gabet's out-of-date
