		Abydos - Holy City of Ancient Egypt ^Votes:0 ???????????? ??? ABYDOS ???? ??? Holy City of Ancient Egypt ??????? ?? ? ??? The city of Abydos (ancient name: "Abdjw" ) flourished from the predynastic period (4000 BCE) of Egypt's history down through Christian times (about 641 CE). The site of many tombs of predynastic rulers of ancient Egypt, the area soon grew in religious importance as a cult center for Osiris, first during the Middle Kingdom,when such a tomb of a First Dynasty king, Djer, was identified as the "burial site of Osiris", the mythological god-king of the predynastic Egyptians (referred to as "Osirieon"). This emphasis upon Osiris caused the city to become a pilgrimage site, as well as a desired place for either direct burial or for the erection of cenotaphs (monument erected in honor of a dead person whose remains lie e Read More Go to Site

		Egyptian Royal Tombs of the New Kingdom ^Votes:0 Egyptian Royal Tombs of the New Kingdom In the American Museum of Natural History of New York City, in the Africa section of the Anthropological part of the museum, there is a cut-away model of an Egyptian Royal Tomb of the New Kingdom (XVIII, XIX, & XX Dynasties, c. 1575-1087 BC) [ note ]. Such tombs were carved into the cliffs of the Valley of the Kings , across the river from the Egyptian capital at Thebes ( Ipet or Opet to the Egyptians, the modern Luxor and Karnak). The Greeks evocatively called the tombs "hypogea," i.e. the "things under the earth" (Latin singular, "hypogeum"). The model , however, bears little resemblance to any actual tombs, except for having a succession of corridors and chambers. No attempt was made to reproduce the plan of any particular tomb, or even a general Read More Go to Site

		PYRAMID ^Votes:0 The Pyramid Dedicated to the proposition that the Great Pyramid is a rational (in the mathematical sense) structure, designed and built by normal people. This is a radical statement about the Pyramid, especially on the internet because all web pages that I have been able to find that deal with the Pyramid , maintain that it was built and/or inspired by either God or space aliens. Most don't even consider that it could be a rational structure designed and built by normal people. Background In 1985 I retired from the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Corporation .

		The Pyramid Builders ^Votes:0 Home / Suggested Reading / Egypt / Misc / About / Mesopotamia The Pyramid Builders During the Old Kingdom, Egyptian civilization really came of age. The power of Egypt expanded considerably through the four dynasties of the Old Kingdom. This was probably due in part to the increasing centralization of government and the creation of an efficient administrative system. The concept of kingship changed too, with greater emphasis being placed on the the divine nature of the office. The king was considered to the incarnation of Horus, and from the fifth dynasty, son of the sun god Re. At the same time, the advances begun in previous centuries, in building, technology, hieroglyphic writing and artistic representation, reached new heights in the Old Kingdom.

		Untitled ^Votes:0 MEDICINE IN ANCIENT EGYPT Historically, many Egyptologists focused primarily on the very visible aspects of ancient Egyptian society, such as the pyramids, much to the bain of those interested in more than just monumental architecture. From the beginning of the scholarly study of Egypt's past there have been few scholars who recognized the importance of the process of disease and health on a population. With the turn of the century, new archaeological discoveries, increased knowledge of Egyptian language and writing, and the advent of more sophisticated medical techniques, new life was breathed into the study of disease and health in the ancient Nile Valley. It was this period that saw the academic study of Egyptian disease segregated into three distinct categories. The first is the study Read More Go to Site
