Abstract

Pharaoh Akhenaten, who reigned for seventeen years in the fourteenth century B.C.E, is one of the most intriguing rulers of ancient Egypt. His odd appearance and his preoccupation with worshiping the sun disc Aten have stimulated academic discussion and controversy for more than a century. Despite the numerous books and articles about this enigmatic figure, many questions about Akhenaten and the Atenism religion remain unanswered.

Abstract

Le livre porte sur l'importance des rites d'offrande et de purification durant l'époque amarnienne (env. 1353-1336 avant notre ère). Les innombrables autels des temples amarniens et leur disposition particulière manifestent l'idée de rendre des hommages au monde divin en quantité illimitée. La pureté, condition pour un échange réussi entre le terrestre et le divin, est indissociable de l'acte d'offrande. Dans les sources amarniennes, la pureté n|est pas seulement physique, mais aussi morale. Elle reflète la nouvelle doctrine de vie et de pensée instaurée. Que nous révèle l'iconographie cultuelle amarnienne ? Quelle signification accorder au nombre étonamment élevé de représentations rituelles d'offrandes ? De la tradition à l'innovation, à quels répertoires puisent-elles ? Existe-t-il des offrandes spécifiques pour le culte d'Aton ? Pourquoi assiste-t-on à une multiplication, souvent innovante, des moyens de purification des offrandes ? Quel fut l'impact de ces données religieuses dans le domaine funéraire royal et privé ?

Abstract

The ancient site of Tell el-Amarna in Middle Egypt was the capital city of the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten and his chief consort, Nefertiti. Occupied for just sixteen or so years in the fourteenth century BC, the city lay largely abandoned and forgotten until excavations over the last hundred years brought it back into prominence. Based on more than three decades of research and excavation by Barry Kemp, this account provides new insight into Amarna and its people.The author brings to life the royal family and their offspring, including Tutankhamun, as well as prominent citizens such as the high priest Panehsy, the vizier Nakht, the general Ramose, and the sculptor Thutmose.

Abstract

"The life story and times of Amenhotep III, the richest, most powerful ruler in the world 4300 years ago, and one of the most artistically productive in the history of the world. This book plucks Amenhotep III, who ruled for 38 years and called himself "dazzing" from the shadows of his son, Akhenaten, and grandson Tutankhamen, and follows his life from conception to Afterlife. The prince's multi-faceted education and possible early career are outlined. As king, his many wives, especially the great queen Tiy, and interational relations, including trade in West Asian princesses, gold, and honrses, are documented. Royal and courtly lifestyles, including palaces, villas, fuenishing, and fashions, are described, as well as major monuments, military activity, and weaponry. Ahistorical and geographic introduction sets the stage"--

Abstract

In Renewing Royal Imagery: Akhenaten and Family in the Amarna Tombs , Arlette David offers a systematic, in-depth analysis of the visual presentation of ancient Egyptian kingship during Akhenaten's reign (circa 1350 B.C.) in the elite tombs of his new capital, domain of his god Aten, and attempts to answer two basic questions: how can Amarna imagery look so blatantly Egyptian and yet be intrinsically different? And why did it need to be so?.
