The value of a human life in ancient Egyptian religion at the turn of the 3rd–2nd millennia BC
The author explores the ancient Egyptian religion’s perspective on value of a human life during the latter part of the Old Kingdom, the First Intermediate Period, and the Middle Kingdom.Polytheistic ritualistic “communal” religions, where ethics did not play a significant role, are typical for the epoch of early antiquity, and the Egyptian views discussed in the article mostly align with this context.

I am your companion on earth, fight for me!”
Although the ideological foundation of mutual aid within ancient Egyptian small social groups (family, neighbors, etc.) is mostly clear, very few written sources reveal such customs and practices of the Old and Middle Kingdoms. This gap is to some extent filled by Letters to the Dead – written requests for help addressed to deceased relatives, often mentioning mutual obligations of the living “sender” and the deceased “recipient”. Most “senders” …
Why did Ancient Egypt become the birthplace of tomb biography
Tomb biography is the most characteristic genre of ancient Egyptian writing, which is known from the Old Kingdom to the establishment of Christianity. The article investigates why it was in Ancient Egypt that this genre first became widespread.

Treating these texts in connection…

The Sixth Heracleopolitan King Merikare Khety
The history of the Heracleopolitan royal “House of Khety,” comprising Manethonian Dynasties ix and x , remains unknown to us. The only monarch whose place in the Heracleopolitans’ succession is believed to be well established is Merikare, the addressee of the famous treatise on kingship. For almost eight decades he has been alleged to be the final or penultimate Heracleopolitan ruler. However, even this hardened opinion rests on erroneous presump…
