The "pilgrimage to Abydos".

Model Sailboat

ca. 1981–1975 B.C.

The green color of the hull of this boat, its vertical prow, backward-curving stern and double steering oars imitate elements of vessels made from papyrus stalks. Even the lashings of the leather sheaths that covered prow and stern of such boats are rendered. Boats of this particular tappear in rof the "

pilgrimage to Abydos" that was part of the Egyptian funerary ritual from the Middle Kingdom onwards. The ritual character of this boat trip is clearly demonstrated by the fact that not the living Meketre but a statue sits under the baldaquin accompanied by a companion (possibly his son), while priests perform offering rituals in front of it. 

The basic idea of a trip to the major cult center of the god Osiris at Abydos, where the god's death and resurrection were celebrated, is however maintained by the presence of two boats: one that is rowed northward from Thebes to Abydos (20.3.5), and another (the present boat) that is just setting out on the back trip its (missing) sail being hoisted by the men in the center, while a single sailor pushes it off the embankment with a forked pole.

Amarna art?....Akhenaten.

 Was Akhenaten distorted, and was this new touch of art called Amarna art?

 What is the story of this art?

 This art spread in the era of Akhenaten ..

 Akhenaten is the one who originally started this art.

 Let's just get to know Akhenaten the first with some of it.

 Akhenaten was originally named Amenhotep the Fourth, but he changed his name to his name from Amenhotep the Fourth for Akhenaten.

 Also, a second change was made ..

 Transferring the capital from Tiba to Akheaton.

 What does it look like?

 It is a female body. It has female buttocks and its head is long.

 Okay, what is the secret of its external appearance, which we continued for now?

 First, we have a hypothesis saying that he had a deformation, and that the art of this period was very, very frank, and from the intensity of his frankness it was reached to the point that if he was entering the picture of the king with his family, it was the first time that happened at this time .

 You enter by air and the royal palace is depicted and the king is depicted with the family de Mtamlich, not by the age of Amenhotep IV and almost disappeared after his return.

 Another thing is that his head was very large and he had feminine buttocks, why not all of this?

 Because the costume of what we said and what was known for this period was that the art of Amarna was very straightforward. There was a very large freedom in art, so art is portrayed as it is clear and apparent when they came in any way.  

 This is a first hypothesis, and we are saved from it.

 The other hypothesis has still had to do with art.

 What was she saying?

 Why did they make a female body?

 She had a relationship with religion, which he chose for himself.

 I thought it would change its name, as we would say first, if you think.

 It was not just that his sons also named Tutankh Aten .. and Ankh Isen Baatun.

 And Aten was the one God, there is no plurality of gods, and there is no need, and of course, as we are accustomed from the time of our ancestors, people are not smiling.

 There are people who say that he originally abolished the plurality of deities and there is no one but one deity.

 And other people say that they are their servants, they worship the gods who want to worship them, but their cold is clear and admitted that they come as the one god but no one knows his response, what happened exactly when it happened.

 It could be that they did it so that the one who came and was only one

 It is known in the time of our ancestors that in gods in general it was necessary to meet a wife of God ..

 Even if Amon would meet his wife, he would be there.

 God can have two wives, a wife, and a son.

 But this time the situation was very different for them.

 This time, there is no wife and there is no need for this, but he is one god but ..

 For the one who made Akhenaten at the time, let the god be the father and the mother at the same time. He is a love of his art that mixes male and female.

 As described in its form to which we got connected.

 His legs were feminine and above male ..

 To whom he was wanting to deliver them if he was a man and six at the same time .

 Father and Mother..

 This was the second hypothesis, why.

 The idea of ​​his head remained. Was this really deformed, or is it the art that our pictures of the body have not been known?

Tombs that were established for non-kings, the tomb of Pashdu.

 One of the most beautiful tombs that were established for non-kings, the tomb of Pashdu.

 He was the most noble of nobles and was responsible for building palaces and temples. He was a servant in the place of truth in the period of the reign of King Sethi I and Ramses II

 The cemetery maintains its original colors until now.

REAL ancient Egyptian Music ?!

Who really want to hear REAL ancient Egyptian Music ?!.

Golghotha Coptic hymn"

This coptic hymn we the Coptic Christians chant in the Good Friday memorial of Crucifixion of Jesus Christ the only God .

This hymn was chanted by our ancestors the ancient Egyptians for a duration of 40 days during the mummifying ritual process in a mournful lamentable way as a grief about the passed Pharaoh , we the Copts " Christians of Egypt " still have the same tradition of mourning a beloved for 40 days , any person regardless of his religious cultural or racial background will burst into tears because of the deep mournful tone and rythems .

When the ancient Copts our ancestors converted into christianity "the new religion" in the first century they used the same hymn with the same rythems and tone but with exchanging the ancient Egyptian words into  new Christian words express our belief in Christ .

Renew the powers of god Ra.

 Every need was exceptional, from the first lotus flower to be painted, until the sun that visited our great grandfather Ramses.  From the first ship that floated on the water until the obelisk that raised its head above in the sky.  From the first word of your love in the first love poem known to man for the purpose of supplication and a desire for eternal life.

 They really did receive eternity with the sweat of their cowardice and their job, but also with the satisfaction of their heart.  And the goodness of them that if they were distributed among the people of the earth, dictate it to the point that people will become the best conductor for the noses.

 There, inside the sanctuary of the sanctuary of the temple, the fugitive / musician was sitting to accompany his music Milad Ra in his form as poplar.  Meaning the birth of the sun on the eastern horizon in the sky of the south.  After a long journey by Ra during the night hours, he goes through difficult times, and his energy is greatly reduced due to the journey.  His heart gets tired, and he gets hard.

 In his symbolic universe to renew the powers of Ra,

the Egyptian found nothing but music, in order to renew his soul and distort the chagrin of it and find a sweet need because it would be born again and again on the land of Egypt.

 Music is associated with maat, Maat Bint Ra is the law, and it is the cosmic harmony.

 "Ma'at Sa Ra" or Ma'at Bint Ra was an unincarnated entity because it is transcendent.  This is one of the reasons that Ra, when the night star in the form of a silent figure or his image as a transcendent God, appears and begins his day trip incarnate and interacting with the land of Egypt.  Ma’at Maqdrash was embodied and accompanied him, so she missed Ra in the daytime journey.

 (Imagine the feelings of a traveling father who is far from his daughter, his sweetheart, may he grumble every day, what, and every hour, he loses his smile and draws instead of asceticism in any joy)

 The solution was whether Maat or Harmony embodied in music.  The solution is that Maat passes through the strings laws until he reaches Ra’s face and smiles.

 For the ancient Egyptian, music is a secret of the vast universe and its laws.

 In short, music in ancient Egypt are laws to emit the cosmic hormone.  It manifested the invisibility of Maat, and at the same time it expressly demonstrated its ability to renew the universe and inspire Ra of smile, contentment and kindness.  The musician used to say "Ra" after playing the music, so that you will be kind and benevolent to all the heads of sight.

The gread king ramsesII.

               

 And since Ramesses the Second assumed the rule of Egypt, the genius of his decisions appeared to him, so he chose for himself the place of the palace between his family and his clan in his hometown.

 He chose that city to be located among the four temples to be protected by the gods, from the west the temple of Amun, from the east the temple of Astarte Asian and from the south the temple of Sutikh and from the north the temple of Wadget.

 Ramses righteousness has become like paradise on earth, full of fields and orchards, and its channels are full of colorful fish and lotus flowers, and its gardens are full of pomegranate, apples, and grapes until the entire people of Egypt wish to live in that city.

 A political capital was also far from the mighty Amun priests. Rameses was successful in this respect, like his predecessors since the time of Hor Moheb.

 Bar Ramses used to guard his empire and defend the Nile Valley, and Ptah says: (You have built a majestic royal residence to fortify the borders of the two countries.

 When Rameses II became king, the situation in Asia was rebalancing again and threatening Egypt, so Mwatale did not stop making new alliances with the peoples of Asia Minor and northern Syria to form a terrible bloc subject to his domination in the face of Egypt and on the other hand, the Khati was heading more and more towards the sea to trade  With the peoples of the coast and the Aegean islands, they became competing with the Egyptian hegemonic policy in the Mediterranean.

 The clash between Egypt and Al-Khati was inevitable and the two kingdoms prepared for this confrontation.

 Ramses II equipped his army and developed the fourth division, which is under the care of God (six). Now, each group includes five thousand soldiers who recruited forces from the Nuba settlements in addition to mercenaries from among the prisoners of war who came from Amuru and from the homeless who migrated to the coast of Phenicia.

 And before the great battle, Rameses fought battles on more than one front since the second year of his rule. He defeated the Asians and took away their lands because he trampled his feet on the north, and the erosion fell due to the terror he caused and the Nubians deprived the breezes of life.

 It is also likely that some battles were raging at the Libyan and Nubian worms, in response to the Egyptian hegemony over these regions, which would help Rameses after that put a correct tactic to mobilize his forces in the war against Al-Khati.

The first peace treaty in the world.

The first peace treaty has been known as the King Ramses II with the King of Syria) This treaty was made in the twenty-first year of Ramses II and was a security and brotherly and brotherly treaty and included a defensive coalition and has reached our hands for good luck This Peace Treaty is the first of its kind, which has been registered in Egypt. In Egypt, we argued its texts on the walls of the Crank and Ramsium and meaning that it was written in a religious and in Bogaz Kui found the written version written The terms of the treaty: First: Historical introduction and references to the presence of wars and treaties between Egypt and Khata and that both existing kingdoms want to peace and indicate the exchange of silver monuments in which the text. Second: Mutual confirmation on non-assault by any of the two sides on the other and there must be a recognized borderline separating the borders of the kingdom. Third: An talk about a defensive alliance against any major enemy tries to conflict chita or Egypt in their property and against any local revolutions in both empires. Fourth: The subject of political refugees to their country, whether they are influential or ordinary citizens, and the treaty in this section is required to treat their deported refugees, not kill or distort his body or deprives his family or home. Fifth: In the latter part of the treaty, as is an old legal document we see the names of witnesses who have seen and from here are not ordinary individuals, but from the gods and begin with the sun and thunderbolt and then ends with the rest of gods and gods The most important and most important thing in this treaty is that its above-mentioned legal items came as a result of long time experiences from international relations and arrived in mutual military aid and the delivery of political refugees and good treatment. The treaty was the first time of harmony and harmony throughout the period from Ramses, which lasted about 45 years (45 years), so it is wrong to consider this king of lovers of war, but his fame is on the large and many business And I am in strengthening loving and peace bonds between Egypt and Khaita, the Egyptian king married in his fourth year of his reign to one of the daughters of king al-Hayti (Khazowel) and made it the first wife, unlike what was being held in the married marrow
