Akhenaten (also called ‘Ikhnaton’, ‘Khuenaten’ or ‘Akhenaton’—they all mean "successful for” or “of great use to” the god Aten) was a pharaoh of the 18thDynasty. After converting to the cult of Aten, he changed his name from Amenhotep IV (or Amenophis IV) to Akhenaten. It was during his reign that the empire began to crumble. The youngest son of the Chief Queen Tiye and Amenhotep III, he was the consort of Queen Nefertiti and the father of Tutankhamun (by Lady Kiya) and Tutankhamen’s wife Ankhesenamun (by Nefertiti). As Amenhotep IV, his reign
lasted for five years in which he respected the venerated traditions of the Egyptian religion and adhered to his father’s policies. However, in the fifth year of his reign, he made dramatic religious transformations. It began with his change of religion from the cult of Amun to that of Aten. For the following decade he pursued a campaign of establishing the superior religion of Aten in
Egypt, becoming the first king to institute monotheism, and emaciated Egypt’s tradition of polytheism. He came to be infamously known as the ‘Heretic king.’
No amount of fame or fortune can equate the worth of life; it is a priceless entity that could never be sold or exchanged. But life for ancient Egyptians was just a segment, a very small part of the eternal journey that awaited them after death. Bunsen, the historian, argues that ancient Egyptians believed that human life, its goal and purpose, was to simply serve as a phase of life through which one could acquire eternal happiness offered in life after death. But to accomplish a harmonious eternal journey one must live a good and just life here on earth.
İsis, Antik Mısir'da herkes tarafından sevilen tanrıçaydı
Isis was unmatched with her magical powers—not even Osiris or Ra could match her skills; she was the goddess of magic but her prowess was indeed diverse. Isis was the goddess of protection, the patron of nature, the dead,children, the noble and the commoners. She was loved and worshiped by all social strata. She had a very close link with the kings and kingship. She answered to the entreaty of the slaves, artisans, sinners, the downtrodden, the
aristocrats and the maidens.
Tanrıça İsis
Isis (Egyptian Aset or Eset) was the eldest daughter of Geb and Nut. She had
four siblings, Osiris, Seth, Nephthys and Haroeris. She was both the sibling and wife of Osiris, from whom she bore Horus. Her other offspring were Bastet and probably Ammit. She was depicted as a beautiful women dressed in a sheath and a headdress that either had a solar disc in between a cow’s horn or the hieroglyphic sign of the
throne. She would also be depicted as a scorpion, cow or a bird. Her symbols were a sparrow, vulture, sycamore tree, cobra and a small hawk.
Mısırlılar için ahiret inancı önemliydi
The existence of someone on this earth was a part of the eternal journey; it was also an introduction to something bigger. The concept of the afterlife for Egyptians was a mirror-world of one’s life on earth— particularly, one’s life in
Egypt. If one desired to enjoy the rest of his/her eternal journey, he was obliged to live that life correctly.
Platon, Pisagor gibi kişiler Antik Mısırdan etkilenmiş
The Egyptian religion and belief were spread beyond the domain of Egypt through trade, notably after 130 BCE when the Silk Road opened. This made Alexandria the epicenter of commerce. For other cultures, the imperative aspect of Egyptian Mythology was the eternal life after death concept, the reincarnation
and benevolent deities. Both Greek philosophers Plato and Pythagoras are believed to be inspired by the belief of Egyptians in reincarnation. What's more, religious cultures from Egypt were largely adopted by the Romans as they did from other civilization.
Mısır ölüler kitabı
The Book of the Dead is a funerary scripture aimed at facilitating an easy and safe navigation through the Duat (the Underworld) for the dead. It was also believed that this entity would enable the deceased to get help and protection from the Gods during this challenging journey. It is basically a collection of spells, some were new but most of them were collected from the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts. It was written on a papyrus commissioned by the individual before death or by a relative. The quality of the papyri and the texts differed tremendously, and it all depended upon the individual’s financial standing. Papyri were very expensive during that period and only the royals or the elite were able to afford it. There was even a point where archeologists discovered a Book of the Dead written on a second-hand papyrus. The Book of the Dead, at certain occasions, would be written on linen shrouds, which would be used to wrap the dead bodies. As earlier stated, the Book of the Dead is a compilation of magical spells written over the course of about one thousand years. The spells were written in the form
of cursive hieroglyphs which were arranged in columns and separated by a black line. Each text, inscribed by a black or red ink, is accompanied by a certain kind of illustration.
Nut
The sister and consort of Geb, Nut was the mother of the major deities Nephthys,
Isis, Osiris, and Seth. Her reign spanned over many realms; Nut was the Goddess of the sky, stars, the sun, light, the moon, astronomy, heaven, the universe, winds, and the air.
Nut personified the sun and the earth and was portrayed as either a nude women above the earth covered with stars or a cow. Nut participated in saving Osiris and was thus seen as a friend of the dead. Upon his death Osiris pleaded: "O my Mother Nut, stretch yourself over me, that I may be placed among the imperishable stars which are in you, and that I may not
die." Nut was believed to welcome the deceased into her starry sky and nurture them: "I am Nut, and I have come so that I may enfold and protect you from all thin
Firavun Thutmose'un mezarı
It was in the Valley of the Kings, (one of the most sophisticated tombs) that Thutmose III was buried. Inside the tomb, only the wooden statues of the king and other gods, the red quartzite sarcophagus, pottery, bits of wooden model
boats and the bones of animals were found. Even Thutmose III’s mummy wasn’t inside the tomb upon its discovery. He was buried at Deir el-Bahri, the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut. The condition of Thutmose III’s mummy was bad when it was found. The ruler was short, not even five feet tall
Following the death of his father, Tutankhamun ascended to the throne when he was just eight or nine-years old in 1338 or 1336 BC. Given his age, it was most probable that Tutankhamun was surrounded with very influential had advisors,
most likely including the Vizier Ay and General Horemheb. There was a temporary Pharaoh called Smenkhkare, between Amenhotep’s death
and Tutankhamun’s ascension to the throne. Very little is known about this Pharaoh. As Smenkhkare’s throne name matched that of Akhenaten’s coregent, it was thought that Nefertiti was this pharaoh who reigned during the time Akhenaten’s wellbeing may have been deteriorating and Tutankhamun was incapable of taking the position of a leader because he was still too young.
