Servant figure of a baker

A man is shown squatting in front of an oven on a rectangular base. He is dressed in a short kilt and wears a smooth short wig. His right leg is tucked underneath him, the bent left leg supports his left arm. His left hand is held against his head and the right fanned the fire inside the oven; this hand once held a stick but now only a hole through the hand remains. Above the fire several layers of bread have been piled up.

Bas-relief, woman bringing food-offerings

Fragment of relief from the temple of king Nebhepetra Mentuhotep at Deir el-Bahari, showing one of a series of women bearing offerings, with columns of hieroglyphic text.The inscription refers to temple offerings brought from the 'estates of Upper [and Lower] Egypt' for the cult of the king; the trace of a cartouche behind the female figure may be from the king's name as part of the name of an estate, in which case the woman would be a personification of the place. The motif derives from Old Kingdom royal pyramid temples, but the figure is in the provincial Theban style found before the reunification of Egypt under Nebhepetra. This indicates that the Theban court had adopted northern, Memphite art for the principal royal building-project before the north had been incorporated into a reunited Egypt.

Las familias reales del Antiguo Egipto

de Aidan Dodson (Autor), Dyan Hilton (Autor), Javier Alonso López (Traductor)

Este libro comienza describiendo la estructura del estado faraónico, en especial las características peculiares de la monarquía egipcia y los mecanismos que desarrolló para controlar la estructura burocrática del estado. Después, nos presenta a los personajes fundamentales de las familias reales, explicando el verdadero significado de los títulos que ostentaban. A continuación se desarrolla un estudio cronológico excepcionalmente claro y riguroso de la realeza egipcia que abarca desde sus orígenes, alrededor del año 3100 a.C. y la Dinastía I, hasta la época de su decadencia definitiva, que culmina con la integración de Egipto dentro del Imperio Romano. Cada dinastía �siempre se hace referencia a todos y cada de sus reyes, así como a las relaciones de cualquier índole que pudieran darse entre los miembros destacados de las distintas familias regias� se explica dentro de un panorama histórico general del período. Por último, se establecen las relaciones existentes entre los individuos de la nobleza dentro de un contexto familiar más amplio, desarrollado de forma clara y exhaustiva mediante veintisiete árboles genealógicos de las familias reales enriquecidos por un conjunto de breves biografías de sus miembros.

Jar

Spouted pottery jar imported from northern to southern Egypt. Spouts for pouring are not common in Egyptian pottery; the shape of this vase appears to imitate imports from the Levant into northern Egypt. It was excavated at Hierakonpolis, and shows the importance of that city as a centre of kingship participating in international trade.

jar

A storage jar imported from the Levant, with some of its original contents. The congealed matter in the jar would have been imported as oil. Imported storage vessels of the late fourth millennium BC at Abydos and elsewhere have revealed a substantial volume of trade between Western Asia and the Egyptian royal courts during the period of unification of Egypt into a single kingdom. This example is one of the first to have been discovered, in the 1899 excavations at Hierakonpolis, and it demonstrates the importance of that city as a centre of kingship participating in international trade.

Pitcher with the figure of Bes

This clay vase, which has a single handle, comes from the excavations of W. F. Petrie at Tell el-Yahudiya. It is part of the receptacles whose belly bears a representation of the head of Bes. The example is very particular: the facial features are marked with cuts, and by clay appliques. It dates from the Graeco-Roman Period.

Stela of Hetepneb

This stela provides an excellent illustration of the development of Egyptian art during periods of weak central kingship, when local workshops produced formal monuments with hieroglyphic inscriptions without the controls of rigorous royal or temple sculptural training. The figures of Hetepneb, a local administrator, and his wife, and the cutting of the hieroglyphs are in the provincial style typical of the area north of Thebes during the 1st Intermediate Period. In the left margin outside the framing rectangle may be seen a small incised figure of a man, possibly a 'signature' of the sculptor or an addition by a later hand.

Símbolos sagrados: Cómo leer los jeroglíficos egipcios

Penelope Wilson

Durante más de tres mil años, los jeroglíficos fueron la escritura básica de comunicación de la antigua cultura egipcia. Pero más allá de su función como lenguaje, los jeroglíficos estaban imbuidos de un simbolismo mágico especial para comunicarse con los dioses a través de su inscripción en tumbas y memoriales. Los jeroglíficos contienen, pues, la clave para acceder a la mayoría de los secretos de aquella gran civilización y nos proporcionan una sólida aproximación a las creencias, esperamzas y sueños de los antiguos egipcios. En este libro que Geraldine Pinch ha calificado de «excelente introducción al papel de la escritura en la cultura del Egipto Antiguo», la profesora Penelope Wilson nos explica los orígenes de estos símbolos mágicos, lo que hemos llegado a saber de ellos a través de las nuevas traducciones que se han conseguido desde el primer desciframiento de Champollion, los usos de la criptografía y el porqué de la poderosa fascinación que los jeroglíficos egipcios siguen ejerciendo sobre nosotros.
