Abstract

In an impressive special exhibition the Glyptotek gives a glimpse into the power structures, god-worship and everyday life in Ancient Egypt when Pharaoh reigned as a personified god and undisputed authority. Ancient Egypt has always fascinated us. Not least the legendary pharaohs, the kings who ruled over them all, who were more gods than human beings were the subject of many tales through the ages. In the exhibition, "Pharaoh.The Face of Power" we examine the period 2000-1700 BC, known as the Middle Kingdom when the Egyptian realm rose again after a period of decline, and strong pharaohs united the country with centralised power. Here visitors can experience how, 4000 years ago, it was possible to construct personal myths and manage to rule a people with absolutely no help from spin doctors, the press or the social media.

Abstract

Master story-teller and renowned Egyptologist, Aiden Dodson, reveals the secrets of Rameses III, in this fully-illustrated, accessible history, the first to exclusively cover this "last great pharaoh," by the author of the bestselling, Sethy IRameses III--often dubbed the "last great pharaoh"--lived and ruled during the first half of the twelfth century bc, a tumultuous time that saw the almost complete overthrow of established order in the eastern Mediterranean, and among Rameses's achievements was the preservation of Egypt as a nation-state in the face of external assault. However, his reign also saw economic challenges, and increasing dissatisfaction, which culminated in the king's own assassination.This richly illustrated book is the latest in a series that aims to provide accounts of key figures in ancient Egyptian history that covers not only their life-stories but also their rediscovery and reception in modern times. Accordingly, it follows the king from his birth to his resurrection through modern research, describing the key events of the reign, his major monuments, and the people and events that led to these becoming once again known to the world.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Au XIIᵉ siècle, Saladin, prince kurde et fondateur de la dynastie ayyoubide, entreprend d'unifier à nouveau le monde musulman sous son autorité et de reconquérir les territoires des États latins d'Orient. Soutenu par sa famille, il étend son Empire des marges du Maghreb à la Jazira en passant par l'Égype et de la Syrie du Nord au Yémen. Saladin est sans doute l'un des personnages les plus célèbres de l'histoire du monde musulman médiéval, aussi bien du côté arabe qu'occidental. Cette renommée tient essentiellement à la reconquête de Jérusalem qu'il effectua en 1187 aux dépens des croisés. Cet épisode, savamment exploité par la propagande officielle, fit de Saladin à son époque et dans les siècles suivants le héros incontesté du djihâd, le protecteur des lieux saints de l'islam et du territoire musulman en général. Jean-Michel Mouton retrace la vie de ce prince d'Orient.
