Full textThe Egyptian god Min has always been considered as a procreation god by many Egyptologists. However, the analysis of his image and his cult on the period from the beginning of the First Intermediate Period to the end of the 17th dynasty reveals a very different definition. His iconography shows a cryptic elaboration in the way of using various details composing his image. This present study reanalyzes the Coptite consort of Min as well as the reappropriation of the god’s image by the Theban deity Amun at the beginning of the Middle Kingdom. Revered during specific agrarian and dynastic religious festivals, Min was subject of a great veneration during this period, both from kings and private individuals. Min was also particularly praised in expeditionary contexts. From the wadi Hammamat to the Gebel el-Zeit via Mersa Gawasis and the peninsula of Konosso, this god was mentioned and figured for his warring and mineral abilities. Lastly, during the Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period, Min seems particularly revered in Abydos. He was inserted inside the Osirian cult with the creation of the figure of Min-Horus-nakht, the latter testifying the moving of the cult and the funerary and dynastic importance of the god in this city. With Abydenian hymns and the discovery of archeological fragments, the location of a sanctuary dedicated to the god could be brought to light. Regarding all the collected data, Min appears not as a procreation god but as a ‘Follower of Horus’, a god of strength with dynastic powers, a god of regeneration who acts over both the natural world and the underworld

Full textTell el-makhazan is the modem name of the oriental suburb of the ancient pelusium, today tell elfarama. These ancient ruins are lying at 30 km north -east to el qantara and 2 km away of mediterranean sea coast in north sinai. From 1988 to 1998 the egyptian supreme council of antiques diligent eight sites of excavations and studies to tell el-makhazan. The tell essentially received some christian and funeral constructions during the belated antique and the middle ages notably a bigger churches of the sinai. The monumental character of the building is reinforced with the presence forward atrium of the facade, that composed of three porches, the oriental part received a set of inhumations, oriented at the east-west. The basilica is composed of three naves, which the main is larger two times than that each of others. The martyrium occupies the southeasterly angle of the building, it constructs on two levels, it composed of three apses oriented towards the east whose western part surmounts bases of a transverse passageway. The sale of the martyrium whose its ground is covered with tile of aliki marble, situated as same level as of the ground of the basilica, overhang and cover funeral crypt entirely. Ancient texts reflected the importance of this place on the religious plan. Among these texts, we mention those of st-epimaque, and also the correspondences of sanit-isidore of pelusium

Full textIn the ancient village of Aphrodito, modern Kūm Išqāw (Egypt), approximately a thousand papyri were found that date from the 6th to the beginning of the 8th century. This exceptional documentation offers the rare opportunity to study the microtoponymy of a village and its countryside, i. E. How territorial divisions below the village level are named. Microtoponyms were collected in a catalogue, which comprises around 650 files containing all the available information for each (attestations, variant spellings, location, contents, owners, tenants, etymology). The analysis, after a summation of the data relating to Aphrodito before the 6th century, focuses on the organization of the village itself and its countryside during the Byzantine period, with the study of the different “toponymic designations” that refer to categories of places to which proper names are or are not given. The hierarchical structure of the components of the countryside is presented, as well as the role of irrigation as a distinguishing criterion. Twenty schemas illustrate the content and situation of the best-documented properties. The 8th century sources are texts of different types to those of the 6th century, but they show deep changes in the territorial organization of the village at the beginning of the Omayyad period

Full textThree Greek tax rolls, fragmented into 166 totally unedited papyri, are preserved at the BNU of Strasbourg. They come from Hermopolis (el-Ashmuneyn, Middle Egypt) and can be dated to the beginning of Trajan's reign (AD 99-101). They form a coherent taxation dossier and are investigated in the two parts of the present thesis: Introduction and Editions. In the Introduction, a methodology of reconstruction of fragmented papyrus rolls is described, followed by the textual examination, where the following issues are brought into focus: the structure of the texts, the traits of palaeography, the origin of the dossier (provenance, date and author) and the taxation. The texts are too severely damaged and too abundant (height: ca. 37 cm / total length: ca. 1536 cm) to be deciphered and commented on thoroughly. The Editions are therefore limited to the following selections: the entirety of the Roll A, the first 29 columns of the Roll B and a sworn declaration attached to the end of the Roll C. These texts are indexed by words. In the annexe, the history of acquisition and preservation of the dossier is discussed. This dossier proves to be of utmost importance for our understanding of the Roman taxation in Egypt. It contains abundant data concerning accounting techniques and regionalism in terms of palaeography, as well as taxation, in the Hermopolite nome. As for the numerous proper names mentioned therein, they will be investigated in detail in the future

Full textThe paintings of the Theban Tombs constitute a unique figural domain that reached the apogee in the New Kingdom. Examining the figural inputs in more than 300 tombs, what interests us is the innovations in the repertory of those sepulchres. This means to identify, document, compare, and interpret these innovations as a means of visual communications having several hermeneutic levels. Most of the innovative details, themes, treatments appeared in the period of the beginning of the Empire. While most of the scenes exhibiting emancipations of the pictorial convention were attested in the period of the Maturity. With absence of other criteria of dating, those innovative elements would suggest a probable dating. The majority of the novel scenes were effectuated in the chapel of the tomb, in the hall, the closest to the world of living and the most frequented by the visitors. Half of the considered scenes are placed on the focal wall of the tomb. The majority occupy the whole wall or that emplacement apart from a sub-register, or simply situate on registers I-II. That emplacement at the eye-level of the visitors of the chapels suggests and underlines the desire of the artist to have the work noticed and contemplated. Scenes concerning the “subject pole” and the “subject/object pole” were fertile domains for the innovations. The examination of the novelties permitted us to put aside the idea of a model book
Driaux, Delphine. "Les aménagements hydrauliques en contexte urbain dans l’Égypte ancienne." Thesis, Paris 4, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010PA040259.
Full textEssential in the development of Pharaonic civilization, water was especially studied through the place it occupies in the religion but rarely through its everyday use. Generally, hydraulic layouts are thus only briefly mentioned in Egyptological literature. From the data supplied by archaeology (materials, construction methods, etc.), this thesis thus has for first objective to study these installations in detail by relying on a corpus which lists, for the whole Pharaonic period, more than 400 structures, classified in four categories: wells, pipes, ponds and sanitary layouts. In a second hand, this detailed analysis, completed by a synthesis work replacing each of these installations in its context while confronting them simultaneously with written and iconographic sources, allows more widely to understand how water became integrated into Egyptians life. The presence or absence of these structures in houses and more widely in town thus reflects the inhabitant’s needs and the difficulties they were facing. Hydraulic layouts therefore appear to be a source of information not to be neglected for they cast new light on the Pharaonic city and its way of life while revealing certain aspects of the Egyptian society

Full textArchaeological researches were led to the south-east of the Sacred lake of Amun temple of Karnak from 2001 to 2007. Their aim were to establish the chronology and the function of this area before the New Kingdom. They allow to complete urban and craft organization in this zone of the temple and take back a study of the archaeological equipment from the rescue excavations of the seventies. Eleven stages of occupation were cleared and a lot of various furniture has been discovered (ceramics, seals, stone tools and bone tools, figurines,…). These objetcs belong to the craft world and to the daily life. They give us information on the function and on the dating of these structures. Consequently, we can assert that the south-east of the Sacred lake of Amun temple knew an uninterrupted civil occupation from the First Intermediate Period to the XVIIth dynasty, evidence of the city of Thebes before the New Kingdom
Tronchère, Hervé. "Approche paléoenvironnementale de deux sites archéologiques dans le delta du Nil : avaris et la branche Pélusiaque, Taposiris et le lac Mariout." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20048.
Full textWe studied two ancient archaeological sites of the Nile delta during this palaeoenvironmental study. These sites were well known from a archaeological point of view, and this knowledge was strengthened by a geoarchaeological approach. We aimed at answering specific questions of the Egyptologists, as well as enhancing the understanding of the palaeolandscape of these sites.The first site is Avaris. Located on the eastern margin of the delta, 60 km away from the modern coastline, this city was the capital of Egypt during the Hyksos period, in the middle of 2nd millennia BC. The settlement’s lifespan was however longer than the Hyksos period alone. The history of the city is linked to the history of the Pelusiac branch, a former arm of the Nile, nowadays drained, although modern canals seem to reuse some parts of the ancient branch. The site was studied in a pluridisciplinary fashion, and by using several tools and methods.Several coring campaigns allowed us to understand the anastomosing channels system that make the background of the site. Some of these channels have been dated by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), as well as by radiocarbon. The results of this dating program, combined with sedimentological analysis made on the Holocene deposits, such as granulometry or morphoscopy, allowed us to reconstruct the history of the Pelusiac branch in the Avaris region, and to link its evolution to the human occupation.Another goal of the study, related to the interaction between man and its environment, was the search for the harbour basins of Avaris, mentioned in ancient archaeological archives. Several techniques had to be combined, since no single tool was able to solve this question by itself. Sedimentological analyses were backed up by geophysical surveys and archaeological findings. This combined approach put the emphasis on a specific area, especially well suited for harbour use. This area presents specificities in its topography, which morphogenesis results from the alteration of Pleistocene layers, in its topology, since it’s located in the centre of the city and linked to the two main river channels, and in its sedimentary facieses. Other potential harbour sites were also discovered, but we got less obvious clues for them.The second site is Taposiris. Located at western extremity of the lake Mariout, in the northwestern part of the Nile delta, the Hellenic city of Taposiris is also a harbour site. Sedimentary corings were analyzed in order to compare the various sedimentary deposition environments of the region. Four kinds of environments have been defined. The first one is the lake itself, a so-called natural environment. The other three environments are on the contrary linked to human activities. The harbour basin itself has been studied, as well as the two interface areas between the lake and the basin: the canal linking both of them, and a levy separating themselves from each other. The impact of anthropisation was observed in the harbour deposits. The compared stratigraphy of the natural and anthropised environments presents anomalies that can be traced back to human activities.In order to bring new comprehension elements about the relationship between the city of Taposiris and the lake Mariout, mathematical modelling of the water currents in the lake was undergone, by using both actualist hypothesis and ancient sources. The favourable situation of the harbour of Taposiris as far as navigation and protection against sedimentary accretion was highlighted. This study based itself on a similar modelling we did in the ancient harbour of Rome, Portus. As well as providing answer to precise archaeological questions, this last study also validated this tool as far as navigation and ancient harbour accessibility is concerned.This geoarchaeological study highlights the necessity of a pluridisciplinary approach in this kind of research. The question of which methods to use, and how to use them, was a mainstay of our work. Only a combined approach of the palaeoenvironmental problematic was efficient enough to complete this study

Full textThe time of the last ramesside pharaos (12th century b. Christ) is marked by robbery cases regarding the royal and private necropolis, as well as the temples, of the Theban region. These cases have prompted the enforcement of judicial prosecutions whose corresponding documents have partially remained up to our days. These documents raise the issue of their date, and so of the relative of the chronology of different cases involved and of the chronology of the whole period in which they lie, so as to place the era of the “renaissance” a few years only after the reign of Ramses IX. These documents enable then to reconstitute, in details, the development of the criminal acts and of the procedures started against the authors of such acts. The reconstitution made can be presented under the shape of a “journal of the events” that allows an assessment of the liability of the people prosecuted and of the authenticity of the procedures (unlike the common opinion according to which the proceedings in question, in some cases, would be fake proceedings intended to protect the misconduct or some local administrative authorities). Finally these documents enable a better understanding of the functioning of the criminal justice (denunciation, starting of the prosecutions, preliminary enquiry, instruction and settlement of the procedure) and to bring out its guiding principles, in order to elaborate a theory of the “qenbet âat”, main court of law of the Egyptian state and sole competent in this matter

Full textThe royal scribe of the Tomb Butehamun is an outstanding Theban character, evidence for whom spans the last years of the 20th dynasty and the first years of the Third Intermediate Period (from Rameses XI to Smendes I). Butehamun was the son of the scribe of the Tomb Djehutymes. He is mentioned in numerous epigraphic (letters, graffiti and dipinti from the Theban necropolis, ostraca, phylactery, mummy label) and archaeological sources (architectural remains at Medinet Habu, dispersed coffins, a possible reference to his burial at Deir el-Medineh). Close examination of this body of documents allows reconstructing the career of this high ranking civil servant within his own time. Furthermore, it serves the reassessment of the uncertain chronology of the relevant pharaohs’ reigns and of the period known as “the Renaissance”

Full textThe major hydrographic reconfiguration of the Nile Delta which occured betwenn the Roman conquest and the Arabic period together with the intensity of the Roman valorization policies of the deltaic environment rise the question of the role played by the relationships between the Roman state, the society and the deltaic environment in the speeding-up of the fluvial process which gave birth to the modern Nile Delta. On that matter, my attention was attracted by the sources related to the Mendesian nome, a circonscription located in the northeastern Nile Delta and crossed in Antiquity by the mendesian fluvial branch. The papyri found on the site of Thmuis form an exceptional corpus which has not yet been studied in its entirety. Nevertheless, this fiscal dossier, as well as the other written and archeological evidences related to the Mendesian nome, document four revealing phenomena dated from the Principate : the drying-up of the the Mendesian branch, the shift of the nome capital from Mende to Thmuis, the Boukoloi revolt and the massive depopulation of the nome. By reconstituing the man-environment relationships current in the Mendesian nome during the Roman period through the use of the concepts of social representations, fluvial risk and alimentary risk, this study shows how these phenomena resulted from the dynamics which have contributed to the evolution of the Mendesian ecosystem. The study of all the available sources also allowed me to set this evolution in a diachronic perspective (from the Predynastic to the Arabic Period) and thus to identify the elements of continuity and rupture charcarteristic of the Roman management of this area

Full textThis research follows a previous study on the menit-offering in all Ptolemaic temples published in the Monographie Reine Elisabeth. This menit-necklace, which is one of the sacred symbols of Hathor, bears the same name as the goddess Hathor the Menit, a form of Hathor in Dendara and Edfu temple who is the subject of this study. Regarding this form of Hathor as tȝ Mnj.t, what are the terms, the ornaments, crowns, actions, gestures that can differentiate her from the great Hathor, if that is at all possible, these two divine entities being so intrinsically associated? Part of this research deals with the temple of the Menit itself. All its inscriptions have been translated and studied in order to try and understand what the scribes had in mind in deciding to dedicate this chapel to Hathor the Menit, when the two other minor forms of Hathor: « Hathor-on-her-great-seat » and « Hathor-uraeus » had none. Scribal techniques such as word plays, signs plays and iconographic plays have been taken into account to reveal the themes scribes wanted to emphasize most. She receives a great deal of different offerings, which proved to be extremely interesting to investigate, in order to understand her involvement in each of these offering scenes and to best pinpoint her characteristics. The study of her epithets emphasised several features in relation to her character which are indeed, often related to the offering she receives. They underline her strong association with protection, being the Protector for a brother Osiris, her father Re or her son. There was then a need to investigate her role in the temple of Edfu, in order to understand how she was perceived there, in this Apollonopolitan temple dedicated to the god Horus. Even though she is not the main recipient of the offerings, she always fulfills her protective role towards her husband, reinforcing his action in the scene he is involved, or her father Re or her son Harsomtus. It comes out that Hathor the Menit fits into all the various theological areas of the temple and that her epithets always connect her to the idea of protection, brightness, their purpose being to promote her to the rank of a primordial, universal goddess ensuring the return of the cycles, whether these are cosmic, involving the rebirth of the solar god or the return of the vital inundation for Egypt’s survival, or earthly in the perpetuation of the representant of her son Horus on earth. Quadrifrons goddess, embodying her menit-neklace, Hathor the Menit distinguishes herself through her protecting and solar features. When it comes to ensuring the continuity of the solar cycle, she then manifests herself in her cult-menit-necklace protecting Re during his night-time transformation, when it comes to ensure the human beings ’cycle, it is her menit-necklace holding a child in its arm in which she chooses to act in the chapel

Full textPtolemais in Upper Egypt, settled by Ptolemy (323-283 BC) is the only Greek city-state in the Thebaid until the IIIrd c. AD. Its civic constitution is unparalleled in the area of Thebes, the ancient centre of pharaonic power in Upper-Egypt. Nevertheless Ptolemais is not only a Greek city during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, but also a town with essential administrative, military, economic and cultural functions in Thebaid. The control of Upper Egypt by the Ptolemies, and after them by the Roman emperors, relies on the town of Ptolemais and its integration in the different power networks in the Thebaid. The integration of the town of Ptolemais in the Thebaid is contradictory with distinctiveness of the civic organization of the city-state of Ptolemais. Thus, this study of Ptolemais during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods focuses on the potential consequences of the civic organization of Ptolemais on its integration in the Thebaid and reciprocally. This thesis is based on the careful analysis of a large amount of papyri and inscriptions in Greek and Demotic with a few ostraka and classical authors’ excerpts. This analysis benefits from the renewal of scholars’ attention to the relationships between Greek cities and monarchical powers in the East. The study of Ptolemais make also the most of the recent works dealing with the progressive development of the Ptolemaic state and the Roman order in Egypt

Full textThis study focuses on the religious traditions of the XVth Upper Egyptian province - the sepat of the Hare - whose the main city was the ancient Egyptian town of Khemenou, who became the Greek Hermopolis Magna. The chronological frame of this work covers mainly the period from the end of the native dynasties until the Roman Empire. Due to the lack of local documents, the outcomes of the scriptoria of the main Egyptian temples were considered as complementary sources to permit a reconstruction of the pantheon of the province and the legends associated with its holy places. The analysis of Greek papyrus and inscriptions relating to Hermopolis allowed to list the main sanctuaries of the city in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Finally, a critical review of this literature has made possible the detection of inconsistencies concerning the reconstruction of city center proposed by the archaeologists: this confusion resulting from a misinterpretation of the sources

Full textIn the present Ph. D, we are submitting an analysis of the documentation about queens and princesses of the XVIIIth dynasty gathered from an investigation carried out in the theban tombs as a whole: royal and private. Theses datas collected year by year during numerous visits, opening of restauration and preservation sites in all areas of the necropolis, stressed on the fact that the information, though very prolific gathered from the XIXth century, on the role played by the feminine members of the pharaoh’s family of the XVIIIth dynasty proved very incomplete. Among the most important lacunas emerged the lack of statement or modern collation of numerous painted or carved scenes and inscriptions on the walls of the royal servant chapels during the lifetime of queens and princesses. The index of the sources drawn up and produced in the present work, represents for the time being, the most accurate state of a documentation often in peril, frequently under destruction. In this framework the archaeological and epigraphical sources agree to give evidence for a fact apparently unprecedented: the role played by the royal family and, in particular, by the “great royal wives” in the political and religious matters. Actually their position at court is far from being restricted to purely formal tasks. Apparently the XVIIIth dynasty queens hold a real power and become, somehow, fully qualified partners beside the reigning pharaoh. Not only they show interest for the wheels of the state, interest for the wheels of the state, intervene in diplomatic affairs, but they hold important religious functions. All the queens such as Ahmes Nefertari, Ahmosis wife and Amenophis Ist mother, Hatchepsout “the Queen-pharaoh”, Tiy, Amenophis IIIrd great royal wife, or Nefertiti, the official wife of Amenophis IV-Akhenaton who did not spare all her efforts to materialize the atonist “reform” and many others hold the highest positions in the kingdom hierarchy and enjoy a unique influence in the ancient world and his history. Beside the queens and their husbands a position far from being insignificant has been granted to the daughters of royal blood. Trying to have an in-depth look at the royal families of the XVIIIth dynasty from the documentation resulting from the decoration and texts of the New Kingdom Theban tombs chapels, it became essential to gather the official sources originating from the same district in order to collate the datas. In the same way, it was advisable to search all the other evidences known in Egypt or Nubia and outside Egypt in order to set up for each queen or princess taken into account a persona file to which would be added the specific theban references gathered during the systematic registration made in the field. The fifty entries drawn up from queen Ahhotep (I) to her far sister member Moutnedjemet, wife of Horemheb constitute the historical catalogue followed by the discussion and conclusion (Volume I, 253 pages). In the second volume of the work (168 pages) the iconographical and epigraphical catalogue has been set up in form of 130 files and 74 plates (catalogue)

Full textThis study aims to understand the place of the North of Middle Egypt during the Libyan Period. This area is at this time of great strategic importance as it is situated between the territories directed by Thebes and the ones under the power of the king residing in Tanis – Bubastis. The first volume deals with the toponymy and archaeology of the Northern part of Middle Egypt. The sites where material from the Libyan Period has been found or is said to have been found are studied.In the second volume, a total of 127 monuments (funerary material, stelae, statues, objects of various kinds, texts and buildings, some of them being unpublished) are related and studied. In order to be as exhaustive as possible, we have taken into account the whole inscribed documentation either from Libyan Period, or supposed to be so, issued either from the Northern part of Middle Egypt, or documents concerning the History of the region although coming from other origins.Our third volume is a synthesis of the historic information drawn from this documentation. Our study shows that the hypothesis of the Herakleopolitan origin of the 22nd Dynasty Kings should be abandoned. We were able to determine that the location of the boundary between the two great centres of the country changed throughout the Libyan Period. First situated at El-Hibah, it was displaced to the North, at Herakleopolis, and then moved back to the South, in the vicinity of Tihna. We were able to conclude that, in spite of certain hypothesis, the residence of the kings of the 23rd “Theban” Dynasty should not be located in Herakleopolis although

Full textIn a house in ruins near the Ptolemaic temple of Deir al-Medina, on the Theban West Bank, the Italian Archaeological Mission (MAI), leaded by Ernesto Schiaparelli, discovered in February 1905 two sealed jars, containing 33 rolls. They revealed 44 papyri in Demotic writing, 8 in Greek and 4 bilinguals; among the linen bands wrapping them, 5 were inscribed. Altogether, these 61 documents formed the family archive of a priest attached to this temple, named Totoes son of Zmanres, and of his wife Tatehathyris. The whole was sent to the Egyptian Museum in Turin, of which Schiaparelli was the director. The Greek texts were published in 1929, whereas the edition of the Demotic papyri appeared only in 1967. Later, six of them were republished between 1978 and 1985, while four were re-examined in 1997 in a study on field leasing in the Ptolemaic period. Most of these documents are legal acts and can be dated with the help of their protocols, which name several sovereigns ruling Upper Egypt during the 2nd century BCE. The oldest one, dated 194, is counted among the rare attestations of the rebel pharaoh Chaonnophris; the three most recent ones, between 101 and 100, are the only ones giving evidence of a coregency between Ptolemy X Alexander I, his wife Cleopatra Berenice III and the heir Alexander II, the future Ptolemy XI. Moreover, they are the first evidences concerning the death of Cleopatra III. The contracts are of different types. Most of them deal with the sale or the rent of days of liturgical service in many temples on the Theban West Bank, and of their related salaries. They were an important part of the capital of these priests: a deed of covenant from this archive shows that they could have been transferred from father to son. Other legal acts concern field leasing, real estate purchases, wheat or money loans: in particular, two documents relate to a form of lease not easy to understand, another one to an exchange of animals. Family law is represented by five marriage contracts and one divorce; one last text deals with funeral expenses. The dissertation focuses on the new edition of all the documents, including the jars containing them. Direct access to the originals in Turin, as well as to archival records concerning their discovery and publication, have allowed the identification of two unpublished fragments and of the inventory numbers of the Greek papyri, the reconstruction of the exact circumstances of the finding and the assignation of the most part of the texts to their rolls of origin. The philological study has established connections between Demotic and Greek for a lot of personal and place names, has improved readings and has led to new interpretations for some texts. Notably, two legal acts and two temple oaths have revealed the transfer of the duties as agent of the goddess Hathor from a father to his three sons, with the consent of the temple clergy of Deir al-Medina. Moreover, the way of sharing their father's inheritance between Tatehathyris and her brother Pikos, with the action of Totoes as intermediary, is now better understandable. The attention paid to the scribes from a palaeographical point of view permitted to ascribe for the first time or to assign some papyri to their author and to unveil the arbitrary scribal practice of cutting protocols. Finally, the analysis of the prosopographical and topographical data has led to a family tree over many generations of the family of Totoes and Tatehathyris, as well as to a more precise picture on the one hand of the local community, and on the other hand of some religious and civilian buildings and fields in the village of Djeme, called Memnoneia in Greek

Full textThis thesis offers a regional study of the two first centuries of Islam in the heart of the Egyptian Nile valley. It concentrates on Middle Egypt, precisely on the administrative divisions of the Byzantine system at the time of the conquest of Egypt by the armies of ‘Amr b. al-‘Āṣ (642) : the capital of the province of the Thebaid, Antinoe, and one of its dependencies, the pagarchy of Hermopolis Magna. Particular focus is given to the relationships between conquerors and conquered in this region between the 7th and the 9th century, the goal being to question the evolution of those two categories until the rise of the Tulunid dynasty (868). The sources available for this research are mainly non-literary papyri written in Arabic, Greek, and Coptic, as literary sources rarely express interest in this region. This rich documentary corpus allows us to examine in detail the administrative geography of the region and its population before the conquest and to offer a local point of view on the history of the conquest. Particular attention is given to the development of a new administrative and provincial structure during the Umayyad period in which the Thebaid is suppressed and Antinoe loses its place in the provincial structure of Egypt. It then appears under the Arabic name of Anṣinā and Hermopolis, as Ašmūn(ayn). The latter becomes the main administrative centre of Middle Egypt in the Islamic period and even supervises Anṣinā. In parallel, we can follow the development of the Muslim community involved in the administration of the region from the 8th century, in landholding and in city and village life in the Abbasid period

Full textThe Mut’s texts present a local adaptation of a northern theology originated from Heliopolis, based on parallelism between the heliopolitan demiurgic couple Atum / Temet and the theban monarchic couple Amun / Mut, as well as a transfer of sacred geography. Mut recovers Temet’s mythological prerogatives and worship : Myth of the Wandering Goddess, rituals of Pacifying Sekhmet and of the offering of the drunkness, wich, in the theban context, focus on the protection of Amun’s city and the glory of Victorious-Thebes, assimilated to Mut who protects Amun

Full textIn the 16th century BC, Thutmose III built a red granite sanctuary in the center of the temple of Amun in Karnak. This monument, named Utjes-khau “(the one who) exalts Amun’s appearances”, was used as the main resting place for the sacred bark which was carried in procession during the great Theban feasts. Replacing Hatshepsut’s Red Chapel, the shrine of Thutmose III remained standing until Philip Arrhidaeus, finding it “ruined”, ordered it to be constructed anew. Today, Arrhidaeus’ own granite bark shrine remains in situ. The first task of this research was to look for the blocks of the Thutmosid bark shrine, which were scattered across the 25 hectare area of the Karnak temples and sometimes were reused in later monuments. They were photographed, documented and drawn. The photographic collections, excavation journals and reports of the earlier field directors of Karnak have been analyzed in order to find out the find spot and the history of these blocks’ discovery. Following this, the architectural study of the bark shrine could be made. The analysis of reconstituted decoration allowed the identification of some of Thutmose III’s monuments and provided new data on religious, cultic and political aspects of his reign. The key issue of this study is the proposal of a new date for the replacement of the Red Chapel by Utjes-khau for the king’s first sed-festival in year 30. According to this hypothesis, new chronological sequences are proposed for the building and decoration of Utjes-khau and the monuments surrounding it at the center of Karnak

Full textOur study begins with the Arab Muslims’ conquest of Egypt in 641, as it was the first ever contact established between the Arab-Muslim world and Nubia, which was – at the time – under the yoke of the Christian kingdom of Makuria. Our enquiry then follows through to the very fall of the aforementioned kingdom, around the end of the fifteenth century, under circumstances that remain hazy to this very day. Throughout this lengthy period of time, groundbreaking ties were forged between one of the foremost powers in the Muslim world and a Christian kingdom that, although located right at the doorstep the dār al-islām, wasnever conquered. The two distinct parts that make up this doctoral dissertation are structured around the 1173 takeover of the Qaṣr Ibrīm citadel by Šams al-Dawla Tūrānšāh, which signaled the end of the golden age of peaceful relations between Egypt and Nubia as well asushered in a phase of increased Egyptian interference into the running of the Nubian State. This work hinges on a critical analysis of the corpus of Arab historiographical sources (annals, chronicles, biographies…) that we have compared, whenever possible, to Nubian epigraphic and documentary sources. Our approach aims at paying just as much attention to the contents of the various accounts we have gathered as to the conditions in which they were recorded and transmitted, as the latter plays a major part in how they should be consideredand understood

Full textThe Papyrus Vatican inv. No 38603 is a hieratic Book of the Dead dated of the late period, coming probably from the city of Thebes and containing a number of textual and iconographic peculiarities. His comprehensive study is undertaken using a detailed presentation, a complete translation, a commentary on each of its component texts, a contextualization within the late documentation of the type and a paleography. These elements can highlight various aspects of Egyptian funerary beliefs of that time. On the other hand, they allow for closer dating of papyrus around 300 BC. and put the document in a specific context in strong relationship with religion and cults of Osiris that develop at Thebes since the Third Intermediate Period

Full textThe Egyptian temples at Dokki Gel, Kerma (Sudan), were built during the reign of Thutmose I, in the heart of a Classic Kerma religious and ceremonial compound. The excavations of the site have yielded a huge number of potsherds whose study constitute the focus of this thesis. The typological approach, combined with stratigraphic analysis and epigraphy, has allowed the dating of many archaeological contexts. Moreover, six development phases within the New Kingdom ceramic corpus were identified, starting at the end of the Classic Kerma. The technological analysis, relying mainly on the so-called « Vienna System », led to the definition of local variants of egyptian pottery fabrics, whereas the Kerma material had to be classified separately. A large majority of pottery from both traditions was most likely produced locally and shows signs of mutual influences between Nubians and Egyptians. Analysis of the quantitative data of ceramic assemblages gathered from various sectors brings us to an identification of probable space functions, and movement of commodities within the framework of temple cult ativities and according to three successive architectural organizations. They also suggest a long period of survival of the declining Kerma pottery tradition, during the New Kingdom
