For thousands of years, our world has been shaped by biblical monotheism. But its hallmark--a distinction between one true God and many false gods--was once a new and radical idea. Of God and Gods explores the revolutionary newness of biblical theology against a background of the polytheism that was once so commonplace. Jan Assmann, one of the most distinguished scholars of ancient Egypt working today, traces the concept of a true religion back to its earliest beginnings in Egypt and describes how this new idea took shape in the context of the older polytheistic world that it rejected. He offers readers a deepened understanding of Egyptian polytheism and elaborates on his concept of the "Mosaic distinction," which conceives an exclusive and emphatic Truth that sets religion apart from beliefs shunned as superstition, paganism, or heresy.>Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the American Association of School Librarians, and Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the Public Library Association

¿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!

Den urgamle egyptiske kaosgud Seth genfødes i nutidens København. Med en grådighed hinsides godt og ondt kaster han sig ud i livet og trækker et spor af ødelæggelse efter sig. Samtidig sidder den unge musikstuderende Gabriel og analyserer en nyopdukket arie til Mozarts Tryllefløjten. Gradvist afsløres et forunderligt netværk af sammenhænge, fra Tryllefløjtens elskende par, over gudeparret Osiris og Isis, til Gabriel og barndomsveninden Héloise, der til sidst begge må sætte livet på spil i et forsøg på at mane Seths vilde kræfter i jorden.

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.
