HATSHEPSUT: LA PRIMOGENITA DEL DIOS AMON


HATSHEPSUT: LA PRIMOGENITA DEL DIOS AMON
BEGOÑA CASAL ARETXABALETA
La apasionante vida del faraón femenino Hatshepsut nos abre una puerta del conocimiento a la fascinante civilización egipcia, en el comienzo de su periodo más esplendoroso: la dinastía XVIII, que inauguró el floreciente Imperio Nuevo. Envuelta en las brumas de la Historia Antigua, la biografía de esta mujer nos lega escasa de datos, debido a la persecución que su memoria sufrió en lo momentos posteriores a su muerte. Siempre en controversia, el tema de la vida de esta reina, ejemplo de tenacidad, decisión, inteligencia, equilibrio, sagacidad y honradez, ha sido tratado por egiptólogos extranjeros con mayor o menor acierto, siendo esta la primera vez que se ofrece al público de habla castellana una obra escrita a la luz de las últimas investigaciones científicas. Para hacerla amena, esta obra se ha enriquecido con amplios datos de carácter general sobre el ambiente de intrigas palaciegas, salpicadas de las grandezas y limitaciones humanas, de amores y odios, que caracterizó el reinado de Hatshepsut. El presente trabajo, realizado de forma rigurosa, redactado en un lenguaje ameno y sencillo, hace posible que su contenido alcance e interese a todos los públicos. Uno de los mayores atractivos de la vida de esta mujer es la modernidad de su pensamiento y actuación, lo que la sitúa muy cercana a nuestra mentalidad abierta del siglo XX.

lion

 

The lion played an important role in the imagination of the ancient Egyptians. Fear and awe for the animal demon influenced man's encounters with the animal. Reminders of this fear are amulets in the shape of lions. This small pottery lion is depicted reclining with its jaws slightly open. Lion amulets were used in the Late Period, for example, as protection against snake bites. Statuettes with bases also served as seals or as the decoration on finger rings.

Nefertiti

 

Nefertiti, Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt: Her Life and Afterlife (
Nefertiti's current world dominion as a cultural and artistic icon presents an interesting contrast with the way in which she was actively written out of history soon after her own death. This book explores what we can reconstruct of the life of the queen, tracing the way in which she and her image emerged in the wake of the first tentative decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs during the 1820s-1840s, and then took on the world over the next century and beyond. During the last half of the fourteenth century BC, Egypt was perhaps at the height of its prosperity. It was against this background that the 'Amarna Revolution' occurred. Throughout, its instigator, King Akhenaten, had at his side his Great Wife, Nefertiti. When a painted bust of the queen found at Amarna in 1912 was first revealed to the public in the 1920s, it soon became one of the great artistic icons of the world. Nefertiti's name and face are perhaps the best known of any royal woman of ancient Egypt and one of the best recognized figures of antiquity, but her image has come in many ways to overshadow the woman herself.

La entrada al inframundo


 

LA ENTRADA AL INFRAMUNDO. ESTELAS DE FALSA PUERTA EN EL ANTIGUO EGIPTO
Tito Vivas
La estela de falsa puerta o, sencillamente, la puerta falsa, es uno de los elementos más característicos de los más antiguos enterramientos que nos han llegado de los tiempos de los faraones: mágicas puertas que, convenientemente dispuestas en la tumba, comunicaban eL mundo de los muertos con el mundo de los vivos y daban acceso al espíritu del difunto al más allá que tanto ansiaban los antiguos egipcios. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha, no existía ninguna monografía publicada al respecto que abordara, de una manera sistemática, las estelas de falsa puerta: desde su descripción y análisis estético, hasta su significado dentro del concepto religioso egipcio, pasando por el análisis de los textos de sus fórmulas literarias o su distribución cronológica y geográfica por las necrópolis faraónicas. En una obra que aúna la más rigurosa metodología científica con una clara y fluida capacidad de divulgación, el autor expone novedosas teorías y descubrimientos fruto de una ardua labor de recopilación e investigación acerca de este elemento arquitectónico del mundo funerario del antiguo Egipto, que durante décadas se ha presupuesto comprendido, cuando la realidad era bien distinta.

Stela of Harmachis (Hormakhet)

 


Stela of Harmachis (Hormakhet)
This round-topped stela with an empty upper field and a twelve-line inscription in careful hieroglyphic script was made for Hor-em-akhet, the "Chief Overseer of Craftsmen" and "Prophet" of the deified kings Ptolemy III, IV, and V. The text contains the titles of the man in an often heavily overstated manner or in flowery language. The individual signs have been spaced widely in an archaising manner and they have been executed with much care and rich interior detail in an attempt to copy examples from earlier times. Following the last line, an inscription in Demotic records the name and principal titles of the stela's owner, his father, grandfather, and mother. The purpose of the stela is unclear. It is not an ordinary mortuary inscription because the customary mention of the years of birth and death are missing, as are any wishes concerning the hereafter. We may assume that this stela was erected in association with other tomb stelae of the same man, so that the combination would provide the purpose of the text.

¿Dónde estaba el pene de Tutankhamón?

 


¿Dónde estaba el pene de Tutankhamón?
Por si no bastara con el misterio que ha suscitado la causa de su temprana muerte, el faraón niño mantuvo en vilo a los arqueólogos durante años por otro motivo, la pérdida de su órgano sexual.
Por si no bastara con el misterio que ha suscitado la causa de su temprana muerte, el faraón niño mantuvo en vilo a los arqueólogos durante años por otro motivo, la pérdida de su órgano sexual. Este había sido fotografiado por Harry Burton, en 1922, durante la excavación hecha en su tumba, pero cuando los científicos británicos del Ronald Harrison tomaron radiografías a la momia, en 1968, se dieron cuenta de que faltaba el falo real. No sería hallado hasta 2005, en el curso de una investigación de fotografías antiguas de la momia del faraón, que ocupó el trono egipcio con sólo 9 años, de 1333 a 1325 a.C. Allí estaba, entre la arena, junto a su cuerpo. Y es que al parecer, el miembro viril -al igual que las manos y los pies- había sido vendado por separado. El equipo que lo encontró señaló que el escroto estaba aplastado sobre el perineo, debido a la presión de las vendas.
