Hatshepsut—the daughter of a general who usurped Egypt’s throne and a mother with ties to the previous dynasty—was born into a privileged position in the royal household, and she was expected to bear the sons who would legitimize the reign of her father’s family. Her failure to produce a male heir was ultimately the twist of fate that paved the way for her improbable rule as a cross-dressing king. At just over twenty, Hatshepsut ascended to the rank of pharaoh in an elaborate coronation ceremony that set the tone for her spectacular reign as co-regent with Thutmose III, the infant king whose mother Hatshepsut out-maneuvered for a seat on the throne. Hatshepsut was a master strategist, cloaking her political power plays in the veil of piety and sexual reinvention. Just as women today face obstacles from a society that equates authority with masculinity, Hatshepsut shrewdly operated the levers of power to emerge as Egypt’s second female pharaoh. Hatshepsut successfully negotiated a path from the royal nursery to the very pinnacle of authority, and her reign saw one of Ancient Egypt’s most prolific building periods. Scholars have long speculated as to why her monuments were destroyed within a few decades of her death, all but erasing evidence of her unprecedented rule. Constructing a rich narrative history using the artifacts that remain, noted Egyptologist Kara Cooney offers a remarkable interpretation of how Hatshepsut rapidly but methodically consolidated power—and why she fell from public favor just as quickly. The Woman Who Would Be King traces the unconventional life of an almost-forgotten pharaoh and explores our complicated reactions to women in power.

Royal stelae are one of the most important sources for reconstructing the history of pharaonic Egypt. They document a variety of royal actions: military campaigns; construction work in temples; donations of statues and barques to temples; gifts of cult instruments and other offerings. During the 18th Dynasty they play an increasingly significant role in the demonstration of royal power. Hitherto, a strictly historical approach has determined how these monuments are viewed by scholars and a fresh approach is now needed, asking such questions as: for what purpose was a stela erected? where? by whom? and what was the nature of its visual appearance? Such an investigation has to be based on the premise that royal stelae are official monuments which reflect how pharaoh wished to present himself. The stelae combine picture and text in one monument which also draws its meaning from the architectural context in which it stands. An important question is to determine the target group for whom the stelae were intended. Some were clearly intended to be read by or declaimed to a large audience while others were addressed primarily to the gods. This book is intended to serve as a source book and the main part consists of the documentation of each stela followed by an analysis of the totality of the stelae. The study includes unknown or poorly published monuments and offers new readings and observations based on an examination of the original monuments. Beside the most familiar "historical" stelae, the book also deals with a group of small stelae which have been of peripheral interest until now because of their short or even missing texts. The book pulls all the information together in trying to establish the evolution, meaning and function of royal stelae in the 18th Dynasty before the Aton religion took over. The study demonstrates that the stelae were embedded in the king's ritual activity.

Unter der Herrschaft der makedonisch-griechischen Dynastie der Ptolemäer (323–30 v. Chr.) entstand in Ägypten eine multikulturelle Gesellschaft. Die fremden Könige ließen ihre Untertanen nach der je eigenen Fasson leben: Die zahlreichen, meist griechischen Zuwanderer stellten zwar die deutlich privilegierte Schicht, doch sorgten die Könige auch für die einheimischen Kulte und förderten die ägyptische Priesterschaft. Um aber in dieser Pluralität der Lebensformen und Religionen eine sinnstiftende Klammer zu schaffen, richtete man den Personenkult für den lebenden König ein. Ziel des Autors ist es, die verschiedenen Formen des Kultes für den König und seine Gemahlin zu beschreiben. Erstmals legt er mit dem vorliegenden Buch eine Zusammenschau der Ergebnisse der klassischen Altertumswissenschaften und der Ägyptologie vor. Hieraus ergibt sich folgende These, die gleichzeitig den Aufbau des Buches bestimmt: Es gab nicht den einen Herrscherkult, sondern verschiedene Formen des Kultes, und jeder Untertan konnte die ihm zusagende Form wählen. Einerseits bestand die Möglichkeit, den König und seine Gemahlin mit griechischen Bräuchen zu verehren. In diesem Fall ist von griechischem Herrscherkult zu sprechen. Vielfach stellte man die Verehrung des lebenden Herrscherpaares auch in den Kontext der Ahnen – es handelte sich dann um einen griechischen Dynastiekult. Die ägyptischen Priester entwickelten aus den beiden griechischen Kultmöglichkeiten spezifisch ägyptische Formen. Sie integrierten die lebenden Pharaonen als Götter in die ägyptischen Tempel; so etwas hatte es in Ägypten bis dahin noch nicht gegeben. Mittels großer Prozessionen wurde an den Herrscherfesttagen der Bevölkerung die Möglichkeit gegeben, den Kult für die Könige ebenfalls zu zelebrieren. Der von den einheimischen Priestern betriebene Herrscherkult trug also wesentlich zur Legitimation der Fremdherrschaft in Ägypten bei. Im Fließtext der Monographie wurde auf fremdsprachige ägyptische oder griechische Zitate…

"The subject of this work is the way that symbolism operates in official representations of the pharaohs' sons and daughters, during the historical period widely known as the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC). The use of symbols in different expressions of Egyptian culture has been widely mentioned, and has been discussed from many different angles. Scholars have also analysed the identity and function of various royal children through historical and genealogical works. However, there has been little attempt to associate general ideas about visual and verbal symbolism with a socially homogeneous group such as the royal children. The author therefore aims to explore and explain what lies beneath the choice, the variation and the evolution of symbols used in the royal children's iconography and imagery. The area of Egyptian culture that was most affected by this symbolism is essentially the royal ideology. In the course of the five chapters of this work the author explains not only the role of royal children in analogies between divine and royal families, but also how the royal children became an official link between the king and leading non-royals."--Publisher's website.

The titulary of the ancient Egyptian king was one of the symbols of authority he assumed at his coronation. At first consisting only of the Horus name, the titulary grew to include other phrases chosen to represent the king s special relationship with the divine world. By the Middle Kingdom (late twenty-first century B.C.E.), the full fivefold titulary was clearly established, and kings henceforth used all five names regularly. This volume includes all rulers names from the so-called Dynasty 0 (ca. 3200 B.C.E.) to the last Ptolemaic ruler in the late first century B.C.E., offered in transliteration and English translation with an introduction and notes.

Royal ideology constitutes one of the key topics that had an enormous impact on all aspects of ancient Egyptian culture. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the series of conferences Tagung zur Königsideologie meetings have regularly been organized since 1995 to bring together scholars working on various aspects of this topic. The 8th session took place in Budapest in May 2016 focusing on “Prestige, Reputation and the Perception of Power in Egyptian Kingship”.
