Comunicado del Departamento de Prensa y Comunicación de Montserrat:
La colección mesopotámica del Museo de Montserrat (ed. Javier Uriach / Userkaf / Museo de Montserrat) es el resultado del estudio especializado del Dr. Ignacio Márquez Rowe (CSIC) sobre la sección mesopotámica del Museo Bíblico de Montserrat que no sólo tiene interés por su contenido histórico, arqueológico y literario -donde encontramos las raíces antiguas de nuestra civilización-, sino que evoca la continuidad de los estudios sobre el Oriente Bíblico que, en el pasado y en el presente, ha encontrado en la
Abadía de Montserrat un cultivo y un desarrollo marcado por la relación existente entre la fe y la ciencia.
Al inicio del siglo pasado, el P. Bonaventura Ubach, monje de Montserrat, alentado por los abades Josep Deàs y Antoni M. Marcet, sintió la necesidad de conocer yestudiar las civilizaciones de Egipto, Siria, Palestina y Mesopotamia con el fin de interpretar el contenido de la Biblia partiendo del contexto histórico, geográfico y cultural que condicionaron sus orígenes.
Su trabajo tuvo un resultado doble: la publicación de la Bibliade Montserrat, una traducción catalana con un extenso y erudito comentario de los libros del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testamento en una colección de 23 volúmenes, y la creación de un Museo Bíblico que ofreciera el contexto histórico y cultural de la formación de las Escrituras, y que permitiera a los estudiosos y a los visitantes tener un contacto directo con las piezas arqueológicas, expresión de las culturas y de las épocas que menciona la Biblia. Este año se cumplen 114 años del nacimientodel Museo Bíblico.
El carácter de la persona del P. Ubach, su sabiduría y su obra pusieron en marcha el Scriptorium Biblicum et Orientale de Montserrat; es decir, la escuela bíblica del monasterio que, desde entonces, sigue viva en sus discípulos inmediatos y en los monjes biblistas que han continuado después.
El catálogo de la colección mesopotámica ha sido elaborado por el Dr. Ignacio Márquez Rowe, especialista en lenguas sumeria y acadia y miembro del CSIC. Manifiesta la riqueza de la sección, que conserva el conjunto de materiales adquiridos por el P. Ubach durante su largo viaje por las tierras de Irak los años 1922-1923. En el libro se puede comprobar y admirar la variedad y la importancia de esta colección mesopotámica, resultado de un esfuerzo y una constancia admirables, obra personal del P. Bonaventura Ubach. La publicación de este catálogo es una afirmación de la persistencia de la tradición histórica y cultural de Montserrat y también de la vitalidad del país.
Hay que recordar que dentro de la misma colección en 2008 se editó La colección egipcia del Museo de Montserrat; en el año 2009, el Dietario de un viaje por las regiones de Irak; y próximamente saldrá un cuarto volumen, dedicado a Chipre y, probablemente, se cierre con una obra dedicada a la arqueología de Tierra Santa

'The lady of Brussels'

''The lady of Brussels'
Inventory number: E.0752
The lady of Brussels', from the Hagemans collection, is one of the oldest known examples of large-scale statuary in stone. Its archaic style allows it to be dated to the beginning of the 3rd Dynasty. The standard conventions of Egyptian statuary are already clearly in use here. The symmetry of the face and the wig is perfect. The left arm is folded across the chest, the right arm is stretched out close to the body and the legs ...are close together. The 'lady' is dressed in a long robe which hugs her figure.

Al Norte de la primera sala hipóstila del templo de Millones de Años de Rameses III en Medinet Habu existen seis estancias cuya función aún no ha sido del todo explicada. En el presente volumen, el sexto de la serie Estudios sobre la antigua Tebas, su autor, Salvador Costa, analiza las escenas que decoran dichas salas y nos aproxima a los rituales que se celebraban al amanecer del sexto día del festival del dios menfita Sócares, “Día del Festival de Sócares” (día 26 del cuarto mes de la inundación); rituales previos a la gran procesión que se efectuaba alrededor de los muros del templo de Medinet Habu

TT343, the Tomb of Benia aka Pahekamen (or Paheqamen)

 

The wall opposite that of the false door is very similar in design, but the similarity is broken by presenting of a funerary stela in its place. Either side are, as on the other wall, three registers showing Pahekamen holding offerings.
The stela is (unlike the false door) only painted on to the wall, which is usually the case. It consists of a large, yellow-ochre main field with 13 horizontal lines of inscription, crowned with a semicircular tympanum with different emblems a...nd complete with a list of offerings, today partially destroyed, of bread, beer, meat, poultry, etc. This, like the false door, extends to the floor, whilst the side registers do not. To right and left of the tympanum, stand, in accordance with geographical alignment, the hieroglyphs of east and west. In contrast to most stelae, the tympanum doesn't show the deceased in adoration of the gods of the dead, but two Udjat-eyes flanking the emblems of the shen-ring, a cup and three ripples of water. All these representations are raised in light relief, the inscriptions are in sunken relief and painted blue.

The framing registers again show the kneeling Pahekamen, who holds up offerings of bread, wine and cakes. The tomb owner appears to present offerings at his own stela, were it not for the fact that the god referred to in the registers would normally be represented in the tympanum, but is here replaced by the emblems. The deceased sacrifices to him. The text gives support however: at the start of the stela, after the standard opening formula, other gods are named in additional to the one named as "justified by Osiris" (in his different paraphrases) in the offering formulae of the side registers.
At the bottom of the stela, now almost destroyed, is a register containing imagery of the offerings.

TT343, the Tomb of Benia aka Pahekamen (or Paheqamen)

The right-hand side of the south wall shows a scene of Benia sitted in front of offerings piled on a table and on mats

A now anonymous, hacked out, man stood in front of the offering table, one arm raised.

The man was certainly a sem-priest wearing a leopard skin, who has been removed from the wall by the zelators of Akhenaten (for more details, see in the tomb of Rekhmire). Who he was remains conjectural as there is no name, nor family link, written above him; usually this role is played by the eldest son of the deceased, but Benia had no children. In the case people had no children of their own, they often adopted children to perform this important task later, or a servant of the deceased sometimes undertook this function.

A tabular offering list is presented above this person, with itemised contents and the relevant quantities: jars of water or beer, various kinds of breads, meat, honey, different kinds of wine, cakes and additionally natron for purifications Those offerings are said in the inscriptions to be "coming from the offering tables of Amun, the king of the gods and Re-Horakhty".

Statue of Recumbent Hippopotamus

Statue of Recumbent Hippopotamus
Statues of recumbent hippopotami were much loved by the people, especially during the Middle Kingdom. The body of this animal, of blue glazed faience, is adorned with nice drawings of aquatic plants showing flowers and foliage.
In ancient Egypt, hippopotami were plentiful in the River Nile and in the canals. Stone, pottery or faience statues of these animals have been found in tombs and settlements from the pre-dynastic and throughout ancient ...Egyptian history. They were given to the deceased as votive figurines.

In the scenes of the legend of Horus and Seth, shown on the walls of Edfu Temple in Upper Egypt, Horus, the falcon god, personifies the king himself, wearing the Double Crown, and killing Seth, the god of evil and disorder depicted as a hippopotamus.
Statues and vases in the shape of hippopotami were found everywhere, especially in Middle Kingdom tombs and settlements. The goddess of birth, Taweret, was shown as a female hippopotamus, and aided pregnant women during their confinement.

Stela Depicting King Amenhotep the First
The stela, an upright stone with a sculpted surface, depicting King Amenhotep the First with his royal symbols is from the later Ramesside period.

His pleated kilt has a frontal tab and streamers.
