¿Sabía que los gatos eran extremadamente sagrados en el antiguo Egipto y que quienes mataban a uno podían ser castigados con la muerte?Según muchos egiptólogos, los antiguos egipcios nunca consideraron dioses a los animales. En cambio, los consideraban la personificación de sus poderosas deidades, lo que explica por qué los egipcios representaban a menudo a sus antiguos dioses con cabezas de animales. Lo mismo puede decirse de los gatos: no se los adoraba, pero se les tenía en gran estima. Antes de convertirse en símbolos de divinidad y protección, los egipcios solían adoptar a los gatos por su utilidad como depredadores. Los gatos se utilizaban para proteger los hogares de plagas y animales peligrosos, como ratas y serpientes.Los persas, sin embargo, se aprovecharon del amor de los egipcios por los gatos. En un esfuerzo por cambiar las tornas en una batalla, los persas marcharon al campo de batalla con un gran número de gatos, lo que provocó la rendición de las tropas egipcias. Por supuesto, no está claro si esto es verídico o no, especialmente tomando en cuenta que muchos de los registros antiguos eran exagerados o tendenciosos, por lo que a los lectores curiosos les puede resultar un poco difícil explorar el auge y la caída del antiguo Egipto.Sin embargo, con este libro totalmente nuevo y apasionante, podrá explorar fácilmente el interesante viaje del antiguo reino, desde la primera unificación de sus tierras hasta su época más gloriosa de los gobernantes del Imperio Nuevo y la caída del reino a manos de Augusto.He aquí solo una pequeña parte de lo que descubrirá:Las misteriosas identidades de Narmer y Menes, el primer faraón de Egipto.Cómo se construyó la Gran Pirámide de Guiza con manos humanas.El peligroso viaje al reino de los muertos.El detallado proceso de momificación.Cómo Egipto se vio obligado a inclinarse ante su primer faraón extranjero.La mayor guerra de carros de la historia entre egipcios e hititas.Cómo influyeron las creencias religiosas de Egipto en su gobierno.La caída de Egipto tras la muerte de Cleopatra VII.¡Y mucho más!

L'ère du Nouvel Empire de l'histoire égyptienne émerge des ténèbres de la Deuxième Période Intermédiaire, lorsque la dynastie thébaine chasse les Hyksôs d'Égypte, puis conquiert Canaan et la Nubie. La chute de la dynastie des Hyksôs semble être due en grande partie à l'éruption minoenne en Grèce, qui a obscurci le ciel de l'Égypte et recouvert le nord de l'Égypte d'une couche de cendres pouvant atteindre deux mètres. La stèle de la Tempête de Karnak décrit les effets de la tempête jusqu'au sud de l'Égypte à l'époque d'Ahmôsis Ier, le pharaon qui a finalement chassé les Hyksôs d'Égypte.L'Autobiographie d'Ahmès fils d'Abana couvre de nombreuses batailles qui ont forgé le Nouvel Empire égyptien, notamment la bataille d'Avaris, et la bataille ultérieure de Sharouhen quelques années plus tard, qui a abouti à la prise de contrôle de l'Égypte sur l'ensemble de l'ancien domaine des Hyksôs. Ahmès fils d'Abana est souvent décrit comme un amiral égyptien, cependant, sa carrière dans la marine égyptienne a duré des décennies au service d'une série de pharaons, dont Ahmôsis Ier, Amenhotep Ier et Thoutmôsis Ier, couvrant plus de 50 ans, de 1550 av. JC aux années 1490 av. JC Comme il se décrit lui-même comme un jeune homme lors de la bataille d'Avaris, où il a servi en remplacement de son père dans la flotte, il est probable qu'il n'ait pris sa retraite qu'à l'âge de plus de 60 ans. Il a répertorié de nombreuses campagnes tout au long de sa vie, principalement dans le nord du Soudan le long du Nil et du Nil Jaune, avant que le pharaon ne tourne son attention vers le nord et ne les envoie occuper la Syrie.

This fragile, fragile philosophy unexpectedly developed an enormous power of conviction and direction. It invented individual rights, it founded our way of thinking, it created science in the third century B.C. in Alexandria, it invented democracy. From what characteristics does all this power, the fragile philosophy, derive? These ancestors of ours, the classical philosophers, had postulated three things, then forgotten. a) The word is not the thing, the sentence is not the fact, the language is not the world. Not even an image of them. b) Our thinking is groundless, because the initial concepts, let's say the axioms from which we start to think, are not based on anything, because they are precisely the first. c) Thought, rational discursive intellect, and language are the same, logos, one word indicates one and the other. Thought and language are the same thing.

منذ أنْ أعلنَ الفاطميّون عن قيام دولتهم الجديدة في إِفْرِيقِيّة (تونس) في أواخر القرن الثالث الهجري/التاسع الميلادي، رأوا في إقْلِيمَي طَرابلس الغَرب وبَرقة (ليبيا) أهمية كبيرة لمشروعهم العَسكري والسّياسي والْمَذهَبيّ في العالم الإسلامي شَرقِهِ وغَربِهِ. حيث كانت طرابلس استراتيجيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لإِفْرِيقِيَّة وبلاد المغرب الإسلامي كُلُّه لأولئك القادمين من المشرق، في حين كانت بَرقة جُغرافيًّا هي بوابة الدخول لِمِصْر وبقية بُلدان المشرق الإسلامي لأولئك القادمين من المغرب. فكانا يمثلان العصب الحيوي الذي يربط ما بين المشرق والمغرب، والجسر الأرضي الوحيد الآمن لتحقيق أحلام الفاطميين السياسية وأمانيهم الواسعة في التَّوَسُّع ومَدِّ سيطرتهم على كل أقاليم العالم الإسلامي، ومحاولتهم نشر مذهبهم الشيعي فيها. فكان نجاحُ مشروع الفاطميين في المنطقة متوقفًا على السيطرة على الإقليمين والمحافظة على استتباب الأمور فيهما. وهذا ما عمل الفاطميُّون على تحقيقه بمجرد قيام دولتهم الناشئة في إِفْرِيقِيَّة. وتحت حكم الفاطميين وسيطرتهم شهدت أرض طَرابلس وبَرقة وسُكّانِهِمَا زَخَمًا جديداً في الحياة السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية، جاء كونه مواكباً لمتطلبات الدولة الجديدة وتطلعاتها الواسعة، تجسيداً حَقيقيًّا لاندماج السياسة مع الأرض والناس، وتفاعلها مع البيئة المحيطة والمجاورة.

This volume is the first in a new series of editions of Coptic-language "magical" manuscripts from Egypt, written on papyrus, ostraca, parchment, and paper, and dating to between the fourth and twelfth centuries CE. Their texts attest to non-institutional rituals intended to bring about changes in the lives of those who used them - heal disease, curse enemies, bring about love or hatred, or see into the future. These manuscripts represent rich sources of information on daily life and lived religion of Egypt in the last centuries of Roman rule and the first centuries after the Arab conquest, giving us glimpses of the hopes and fears of people of this time, their conflicts and problems, and their vision of the human and superhuman worlds. This volume presents 37 new editions and descriptions of manuscripts, focusing on formularies or "handbooks", those texts containing instructions for the performance of rituals. Each of these is accompanied by a history of its acquisition, a material description, and presented with facing text and translations, tracings of accompanying images, and explanatory notes to aid in understanding the text.

Egyptian civilization lasted for about three thousand years, producing icons that, even today, populate and intrigue people's imagination. Pyramids, animal-headed gods, sphinxes, mummies, hieroglyphs, deeds and concepts that marked the capacity of a people who lived their heyday many millennia ago, in a time so primitive that such accomplishments assume almost fantastic dimensions. This book on Egyptian Mythology not only brings the main gods and their attributes, but also contextualizes the history, religion and cosmogonies of this incredible people, taking you on a journey through time through this remarkable civilization.

Los capítulos que integran este libro ofrecen análisis y reflexiones sobre los procesos de diferenciación social y expansión estatal en el valle del Nilo de mediados a fines del IV milenio a.C., el valle de Oaxaca entre la segunda mitad del I milenio a.C. y comienzos de la era cristiana, y los Andes sudamericanos entre los siglos XIV y XVI. Los procesos de surgimiento y expansión de lo estatal en contextos antiguos plantean una serie de interrogantes cuyo abordaje dista de ser sencillo. A las dificultades evidentes del trabajo con unos testimonios que no suelen caracterizarse por su elocuencia, se suma la encrucijada interpretativa que supone ponderar la evidencia, acceder -en el terreno de la inferencia- a su contexto de producción y establecer unos lineamientos teóricos que otorguen sentido y habiliten el camino de la reflexión histórica.¿Qué hace que, en determinado momento, surjan dinámicas estatales que instalan regímenes de dominación política? ¿Qué motiva luego que esos procesos se desplieguen por la vía expansiva? ¿Hay patrones comunes o las similitudes en los efectos pueden proceder de condiciones no necesariamente equivalentes? Se trata de interrogantes que, incluso antes de intentar afrontarlos, ya dan muestras del potencial que tiene la comparación de estos procesos históricos, así como la pertinencia de presentar conjuntamente unos trabajos que, sea desde la comparación o desde el estudio específico, participan de una discusión común.Si las preguntas específicas y los posicionamientos teóricos pueden diferir, del mismo modo que las evidencias con las que trabajan los investigadores, el problema mayor de la dominación sociopolítica y su extensión territorial aúna las reflexiones históricas que se derivan de estas investigaciones.Es objetivo de los editores poner a disposición de los lectores de habla hispana estas contribuciones a la discusión sobre la jerarquización sociopolítica y la expansión estatal en contextos antiguos, con el anhelo de que encuentren en ellas puntos de encuentro y divergencia que estimulen la reflexión intelectual y expandan el horizonte de preguntas posibles acerca de las sociedades del mundo antiguo.

The Queen of Heaven is extraordinarily difficult to find anywhere in history, but miraculously she is still there. As in the Old Testament where the women of the ancient Jewish settlement on Elephantine island in southern Egypt defended their worship of the Queen of Heaven, when they were dramatically confronted by the exiled prophet Jeremiah, for worshipping 'false' gods in the 6th century BCE. (Jeremiah 45:15-21). Who was this ancient 'Queen of Heaven' resident at this remote outpost of the Jewish faith in Elephantine? In this case, it was the goddess 'Anat', who shared the same Jewish temple as Yahweh. Anat was considered his equal - when not superior - by the Jewish worshippers who offered incense and other offerings to both, which they had been doing for over 200 years in peaceful harmony. Compelling links between ancient Egyptian sources and the Old Testament demonstrate that much of what we read in Genesis and Exodus today has been simply 'pasted and copied' from ancient Egyptian texts and legends. Including the 'Ten Commandments' which were - almost word for word - written down in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and known as the 'Declarations of Innocence', many thousands of years before the time of Moses and the Exodus, and then later copied onto the walls of Edfu temple. It is at this very same Edfu temple - where the Jewish mercenaries were often garrisoned - we find astonishing similarities between the festival of the 'Jewish Passover' and the Egyptian 'Festival of the Beautiful Reunion' where the goddess Hathor was reunited with her consort. We also follow some of the most powerful kings of the region whose devotion to Anat - their Queen of Heaven - was so intense that in response to hostile acts directed against her temples or sanctuaries, they and their massive armies trekked thousands of miles across hostile territory to destroy or subjugate those responsible, and then reinstall their beloved Queen, Anat, on the throne of Heaven.

Hermupolis Magna, die Stadt des Gottes Thot/Hermes, war nach römischer Auffassung keine echte Polis. Überhaupt wird dem antiken Ägypten von der modernen Forschung ein Stadtproblem attestiert. Im. 3. Jh. n. Chr. werden Hermupolis wie auch andere Gaumetropolen der Provinz allerdings selbstverständlich zu den Poleis der Mittelmeerwelt gezählt. Wie lässt sich diese Diskrepanz erklären? Wie ist die Kategorie "Stadt" vor einem solchen Hintergrund zu bewerten? Anhand eines Blicks auf die gesellschaftlich-mentalen Strukturen der lokalen Einwohnerschaft von Hermupolis, ihrer repräsentativen Ansprüche und einer akteursorientierten Perspektive auf den Ort wird die städtische Entwicklung der Gaumetropole zwischen ptolemäischer Zeit und dem 5. Jh. n. Chr. nachgezeichnet. Der Begriff "Stadt" erweist sich dabei als fluide und wird je nach Standpunkt und gesellschaftlichen Umständen anhand neuer Kriterien definiert. Mit diesem Ansatz wird zugleich die Definition der Kategorie "Polis" am Beispiel Hermupolis aus einer unkonventionellen Perspektive betrachtet.

"Alexandria was the epicenter of Hellenic learning in the ancient Mediterranean world, yet little is known about how Christianity emerged in the city. M. David Litwa employs the Nag Hammadi codices and early Christian writings to demonstrate how the earliest followers of Jesus navigated Jewish traditions and developed distinctive identities"--

A collection of studies looking at social and political changes following Egypt's 2011 RevolutionEgypt is a country of its people. What has been the effect on its inhabitants of the 2011 revolution and subsequent developments? In 2013, a conference held under the auspices of Cairo Papers in Social Science examined this issue from the points of view of anthropologists, historians, political scientists, psychologists, and urban planners. The papers collected here reveal the strategies that various actors employed in this situation.
