Full textFounded on the early funerary literature of Ancient Egypt (Pyramids Texts and Coffin Texts), this research intend to offer a new approach on the concept of person in the egyptian thinking through the notion of body. Indeed, among all the components of the person (ka, ba, ib, name, shadow…), the body is the only one which can be designated by different words, namely Haw, XA.t or D.t. therefore, it suggests that the body can have different states of being, each one having distinctive relationships with one or the other element. As the person is not considered as a sum of different permanent components in time and space, the study of the notion of body and of its various aspects allow us to grasp the concept of person as a whole, in human context as well as divine. Thus, from this viewpoint, the interest of the funerary literature is to present the person of the deceased, with his characteristics of both kinds. This study is led in two ways, with first a lexicological analysis of the words Haw, XA.t and D.t. Then a second part presents the anthropological analysis, aiming at detail the system of representation of the person in the Egyptian way of thinking by defining the differences between human and divine person, and through the transformations endured by the deceased

Full textThe Pyramid Texts borrow from the daily life of Ancient Egyptian a lot of words,making those objects a priori profane to divine attributes or components of funeraryequipment accompanying the deceased during his ascension. The case of textile artifacts(clothes and garments) is particularly affluent.By resuming the identification of each item, on a point of view so iconographical aslexicographical, and to take account of used context, it is able to understand what wasthe motivation of its : institutional lore inherited from first dynasty, theological senses orprivate functional preoccupations

Full textThe Pyramid Texts are first documented on the walls of the chambers of the pyramid of the last V Dynasty king, Unis. Since the ending of the Old Kingdom, these texts began to appear in the high officials and priests coffins and tombs of different necropolis in Egypt. Thus, it could be considered that they were an “alive” corpus because they were transmitted through all the history of the Ancient Egypt due to their special characteristics. This work focuses on the study of a group of recitations that are in this corpus. It is specifically focused on the “spells of protection against snakes and other noxious entities” or “apotropaia spells”. Since their first appearance, these “apotropaia spells” have been transmitted along different periods. During the Old Kingdom, they were part of the pyramid text programs of the kings and some wives of the VI Dynasty. During the Middle Kingdom they were also used. Some of them became part of the inscriptions inside the tombs and the inner sides of the coffins in some necropolis of Egypt. They disappeared up until the XXVI dynast, when they strongly reappeared, especially in the memphite necropolis. The study of the transmission of these recitations is done with the Textual Criticism, which is the method that is used in Egyptology to investigate the transmission of the funeral texts. With this analysis the routes of transmission can be established as well as the adaptation of these texts according to the special characteristics of every necropolis and the text variants. Moreover, an analysis of the religious implications of the transmission of these recitations for about two millennia is also done.

Full textThis work aims at demonstrating that referring to birth and its practical modalities is an essential aspect of Ancient Egypt’s funeral beliefs. From the Pyramid Texts to the royal books of New Kingdom, the great funeral writings of Egypt are full of allusions to post mortem fate viewed as a second birth, the latter copying more or less exactly the biological process of the first. Be he king or ordinary man, the dead is carried in gestation by one or several divine mothers and is born again in the other world ; there, his umbilical cord is cut, he is washed, fed and cared for like a new born child. Numerous mythical elements add to the purely practical, however, thus reinventing the biological model and showing the intermingling of both the worldly and cosmic levels. Thanks to this cyclical process, the dead not only reaches the other world but, also, accesses to eternal life

Full textThe design of multi-scale structures is based on predictive and experimental modelling. To achieve a high level of precision, modelling rest on a high number of experimental tests and sophisticated analytical and numerical developments integrating all possible knowledge about the quantity of interest. Adding knowledge into models diminishes the uncertainty on quantities of interest and significantly impacts the cost of modelling, a high impact factor on the design cost. The designer must be able to control the suitability of the integration of knowledge into the prediction of quantities of interest and its impact on the cost of modelling. The research carried out in this work is structured around the development of a methodology of assistance to the design under uncertainties allowing the designer to choose combinations between several predictive and experimental models, called modelling paths, presenting different compromises between the cost of modelling and the uncertainty on quantities of interest. The work is based on a pyramidal representation of experimental and predictive modelling. Random and epistemic uncertainties related to materials, models and geometrical tolerances are aggregated and propagated in the pyramid up to the quantities of interest of the structure. An adaptive method based on fuzzy logics for estimating the cost of modelling has been proposed. The multi objective problem aiming to minimizing the uncertainties on the quantities of interest and the cost of modelling is solved by means of the « NSGA-II » genetic algorithm, allowing to identify robust optimized modelling paths. This methodology is applied to a thick composite vessel for hydrogen storage. The proposed methodology demonstrates the possibility of rationalization of experimental and predictive models carried out to obtain the burst pressure of the vessel with a controlled precision. In a second step, the methodology is used to redesign the vessel considering larger or smaller volumes and with different burst pressure targets. Robust modelling paths obtained deliver design solutions adapted to the redesign requirements with a controlled modelling cost and a managed level of uncertainty

Full textSince the beginning of the first dynasties, the pictogram in writing was the extension of naturalistic figurative representations, logograms in the decorated funerary protodynastic palettes. This statement carry us to link them with the parietal art of Neolithic Nubia, the egyptian Predynastic, and peripheral cultural areas. We have reconsidered the petroglyphs as polysemic symbols and ideograms, i.e. mythograms as well polysemic logograms-phonograms, allowing us to draw up a structural system of symbolic representations, universal in the Nile valley. Basically funerary, the system is organised around a new reading in connection with the founding of the ‘Eye of Horus’/solar myths, and express itself in primitive Neolithic and Predynastic rites of revivification, rebirth, more explicit afterwards during the first dynasties on labels, votive cylinder-seals, and anointing the deads with the seven holy canonical oils, finally in the Pyramid Texts. Contrary to the common idea which opposite the Nature-Culture notions, there is some question to combine them, to reconcile the non-binary duality and to see, for example, the heliotrope functions and/or heliophore animals of the sub-Saharan bestiary, with Sokar the funerary hawk, the benevolent guarantors for the rebirth and metamorphosis of the sun/deads; otherwise felids, canids, antelopes…, invested by the numinous of the protecting divinities. In consequence of a new reading of the primitive ‘osirian’ myth of metamorphosis, we have reconsidered the conceptions about animal sacrifice on the basis of religious anthropology. Far from bringing under control and submission of nature, and diffusionnism, the intercultural (cross-cultural) of the first archaic mythic thought in the multi-ethnic nubian-egyptian valley and associated neighbouring areas involves, towards the natural world and the numinous spiritual strengths, the cross-cultural of solar conceptions and multicultural, trans-historic sharing of the polycyclic resurrectional believes. Thus, the animal petroglyphs, cynegetic scenes, boats and sandals representations, etc., are of funerary votive, apotropaic nature

Full textThis study revolves around the pyramid texts engraved in the funerary apartments of the King Teti pyramid, first pharaoh of the 6th dynasty (around 2350-2330 B. C. ). These funerary apartments of the text pyramids consist namely of a corridor, an antechamber, a sarcophagus chamber and a small anepigraphic room called “serdab”. The northern and southern walls of the antechamber and the funerary chamber of Teti, in addition to the ones to the east and west of the corridor were found completely destroyed. The primary goal was to carry out a restitution to the 1/5th of these walls through assessing the facsimiles of the fragments found during the opening of the pyramid in 1881 by Gaston Maspero, and during the various excavation campaigns carried out later on. Most of the blocks were kept in an excavation warehouse in Saqqara. The restitution of texts is based both on the study of the conserved blocks, that of the internal diagrammatic system of the pyramid, and on a comparison with the nine other pyramids with texts known today. As per the texts still present on the other walls, epigraphic and photographic surveys are necessary in sight of a complete publication of the texts. The second objective of this work consisted in comparing the inscription programme of this pyramid with that of the other text pyramids, namely the one prior to it (Unas) and the next one (Pepy I). This second section sheds the light on a number of principles adopted by the Egyptian designers

Along with the advance in technology, video data transferring becomes more and more convenient. Therefore, text detection researches for video images have received increasing attention. In this thesis, a new approach for detecting texts from video images is presented. Due to the different background complexity, font sizes and colors, it is difficult to detect the text regions from video images. We adopt a pyramidal method to solve these problems. First, we generate two downsized image by using bilinear interpolation method from the input image. Then, the maximum gradient difference images of each pixel in the three different size gradient images, which convert from the input image, have been calculated separately. Next, the K-means algorithm is applied to each maximum gradient difference image to separate all the pixels into two clusters: text and non-text, and the results of the K-means clustering are combined to form the text regions. After that, the projection profile analysis is applied to the Sobel edge map of the text regions to determine the text candidate boundaries. Finally, we identify each text candidate by using two phase verification. Text candidates are verified based on their geometrical properties and textures in the first phase. In the second verifying phase, statistic features of the phase one verified text candidates are computed through discrete wavelet transform, and principal component analysis is further employed to reduce the dimensions of these features. Then, we apply the optimal decision function of the support vector machine that is obtained from sequential minimal optimization to verify the text candidate whether they contain texts or not. Experimental results show that our method is effective for detecting texts in images with different font sizes and colors, languages and background complexity; moreover, the text candidate features reduction, which can also promote the system performance in the phase two verification.
