Amenhotep III - Amenhotep III One of the two so-called Colossi of Memnon: colossal statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III that still stand in the Theban Necropolis. Amenhotep III was an Egyptian pharaoh of the XVIIIth dynasty. According to different authors he ruled ca. 1413-1377 BC, 1405-1367 BC, or 1386-1349 BC, following on from his father Thutmose IV. With his Chief Queen Tiy, he fathered Akhenaten, who would succeed him on the throne. Amenhotep appears to have been crowned while still a child, perhaps between the ages of 6 and 12. His lengthy reign was a period peace and prosperity and of artistic splendour. He built extensively at the temple of Karnak, including at least two pylons, a colonnade behind the new entrance, and a new temple to the goddess.

KV55 - for enclosing a coffin had been dismantled and pieces scattered everywhere. Names had been erased, but not everywhere... some traces remained, and those have served to complicate the problem even more. In fact, there are traces of the names of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Tiy, Sitamun (a daughter and wife of Amenhotep III) and the enigmatic Kiya (who is believed by some to have replaced Nefertiti late in Akhenaten's reign). The shrine appears to have been made for Akhenaten's mother, Tiy, who is thought to have been originally buried in KV55. The shrine appears to have been abandoned when it proved difficult to remove, probably when Tiy's mummy was removed. The tomb also contains the magical bricks of Akhenaten, arguing strongly that his mummy was interred here at some point. It.
History of ancient Israel and Judah - of Canaan (Israel). Most modern historians now dispute the historical accuracy of all the patriarchal narratives in the Bible; these events are held by many to be largely, or perhaps entirely, mythical. Abraham's grandson Jacob was later renamed Israel, and according to the Biblical account his 12 sons became the fathers of the 12 tribes of Israel (see the article on Israelites for more info on this topic.) [1] [1] How did the descendants of the Israelites become slaves? Did they become slaves at all? The historical background behind this narrative is unclear. A few historians believe that this may have been due to the changing political conditions within Egypt. In 1600 BC, Egypt was conquered by Asian tribes known as the Hyksos. The Hyksos are later driven out by Kamose,.
Gilukhipa - of Mitanni. For political reasons, she was sent to Kemet to join Amenhotep III in marriage. The Egyptian pharaoh made a special issue of commemorative scarabs on the occasion of his marriage to Gilukhipa, where he recorded that the princess was escorted by 317 ladies-in-waiting, women from the Mitanni king's royal palace. Gilukhipa became known as the "Secondary King's Wife," meaning she was secondary to Amenhotep III's other wife, Queen Tiye..
Elephantine - tip of the island is taken up by the ruins of the later temple to him that was completely rebuilt in the Late Period (30th dynasty). Ongoing excavations at the town by the German Archaeological Institute have uncovered many finds, including a mummified ram of Khnum, that are located in the Elephantine Museum. Artifacts have been found on Elephantine dating back to predynastic times. The oldest ruins still standing on the island are a granite step pyramid from the third dynasty and a small shrine, built for the local sixth-dynasty nomarch Hekayib. A rare calendar, known as the Elephantine Calendar, dating to the reign of Thutmose III, was found in fragments. Also on the island is one of the oldest nilometers in Egypt, last reconstructed in Roman times and still in.

Akhnaten - opera based on the life and religious convictions of the pharaoh Akhenaten (a.k.a. Amenhotep IV), written by the foremost exponent of minimalist music, Philip Glass, and first performed in 1984 by the Stuttgart Opera. Editorial note: the composer uses the spelling Akhnaten, while the more conventional variant is Akhenaten. Given the nature of Egyptian hieroglyphics, the absence of a vowel is not terribly important. In this article the first version refers to the opera and the second to the pharaoh. According to the composer, this work is the culmination of his two other biographical operas, Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha (about Mohandas Gandhi). These three -- Akhenaten, Einstein and Gandhi -- were all driven by an inner vision which altered the age in which they lived, particularly Akhenaten in religion,.
Akhenaten - Akhenaton, Akhnaton, Ikhnaton, and so on), also known as Amenhotep IV at the start of his reign, was Pharaoh of Egypt. He is thought to have been born to Amenhotep III and his Chief Queen Tiy in the year 26 of their reign (1379 BC or 1362 BC). He succeeded his father in year 38 and last of his reign (1367 BC or 1350 BC) at the age of twelve. He reigned from 1367 BC to 1350 BC or from 1350 BC/1349 BC to 1334 BC/ 1333 BC during the Eighteenth Dynasty. His chief wife was Nefertiti, who has been made famous by her bust in the Berlin museum. The exact dates for Amenhotep IV's marriage to Nefertiti are uncertain. However the couple had six known daughters. This is a list.
Tadukhipa - this Princess of Mitanni. She is believed to have been born during the year 21 of the reign of Amenhotep III (ca. 1366 BC). Fifteen years later, Tusratta married his daughter to his ally Amenhotep III; the later had just entered year 36 of his reign (1351 BC). Amenhotep III died two years later (1349 BC), after forty-five years of life, and thirty-eight years on the throne. His harem was inherited by his thirteen-year-old son and heir Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). The rest of her story is unknown. Her identification with Nefertiti has been proposed as a a solution for both Tadukhipa's uncertain fate, and Nefertiti's uncertain past. However, others identify Tadukhipa with Kiya, who is thought to have been another Queen of Akhenaten..
Ammon - on a throne, in the other he is standing, ithyphallic, holding a scourge, precisely like Min, the god of Coptos and Chemmis (Akhmim). The latter may be his original form, as a god of fertility, before whom the king ceremoniously breaks up the ground for sowing or cuts the ripe grain. His consort was sometimes called Amaunet (feminine of Amun), but more usually Mut; she was human-headed, wearing the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, and their son was Chons. The name of Re, the sun-god, was sometimes joined to Ammon, especially in his title as "king of the gods": the rule of heaven belonged to the sun-god in the Egyptian cosmos, and this identification with Re was only logical for a supreme deity. Ammon was entitled "lord of the.
Anah - is variously described. Most early writers concur in placing it on an island; so Assur-nasir-pal, Isidore, Ammianus Marcellinus, Ibn Serapion, al-Istakri, Abulfeda and al-Karamani. Ammianus (lib. 24, c. 2) calls it a munimentum, Theophylactus Simocatta (iv. 10, v. 1, 2) to 'Anathon frourion, Zosimus (iii. 14) a frourion, opp. Fathusai, which may be the Beth(th)ina of Ptolemy (v. 19).1 Leonhart Rauwolff, in AD 1574, found it "divided ... into two towns," the one "Turkish," "so surrounded by the river, that you cannot go into it but by boats," the other, much larger, on the Arabian side of the river.2 GA Olivier in the beginning of the 19th century describes it as a long street (5 or 6 m. long), parallel to the right bank of the Euphrates--some 100 yards from the.
Ay - he and his wife Tey were the parents of Akhenaten's chief wife, Nefertiti (and, incidentally, that another of their daughters, Mutnodjme, was the wife and queen of Ay's successor Horemheb). Another version suggests that he was the brother or half-brother of Tiy, Amenhotep III's queen, and thus Pharaoh Akhenaten's uncle. The two theories are not mutually exclusive, but either relationship would explain the exalted status to which Ay rose (he was styled "Fanbearer at the King's Right Hand") during Akhenaten's Amarna interlude, when the royal family turned their backs on Egypt's traditional gods and experimented, for a dozen years or so, with monotheism – an experiment that, whether out of conviction or convenience, Ay seems to have supported, at least for as long as it lasted. Akhenaten's reign was followed by.

Canaan - the text is disputed) Zeph 2:5 Most often it is applied comprehensively to the population of the entire west Jordan River land and its pre-Israelitish inhabitants. This usage is characteristic of the writer called the Yahwist (J); see e.g. Gen. 12:5, 33:18; Ex. 15:15; Num. 33:51; Josh. 22:9; Judg. 3:1; Ps. 106:38, and elsewhere. Phoenician Canaan Augustine tells us, that one of the usages the Phoenicians termed their territories was "Canaan." This is confirmed by coins of the city of Laodicea by the Lebanon, which bear the legend, "Of Laodicea, a metropolis in Canaan"; these coins are dated under Antiochus IV (175 - 164 BC), and his successors, Greek writers, too, tell us a fact of much interest, viz, that the original name of Phoenicia was Kèna, a short, collateral form.

Tiy - 1398 BC - 1338 BC) was the Chief Queen of Amenhotep III and matriarch of the Amarna family. By all accounts, she was a very beautiful woman. Tjuyu, Tiy’s mother was Egyptian (a descendant of Ahmose Nefertari), and it appears from his mummy that her father, Yuya, may have been of Asiatic descent. Tiy seems to have married Amenhotep III during year 2 of his reign (1385 BC and they had at least six children, one of whom, Akhenaton, went on to become pharaoh (he married Nefertiti). Amenhotep III lavished a good deal of attention on his charming wife. He devoted number of shrines to her, built her a palace, and even built her an artificial lake. During his reign, Akhenaton built his mother a sumptuous shrine. Tiy enjoyed a good.
