English description: On November 6, 1823, four Englishmen disembarked in the harbour of Alexandria. In the succeeding ten months, they traveled up the Nile as far as the Second Cataract and, in the course of their travels, witnessed the turmoils of a revolution against Mohamed Ali Pasha, the viceroy of Egypt. In this volume, Henry Westcar's journal, which was written during this journey, is edited and annotated for the first time in its entirety. Additionally, the book offers a profound overview of the reign of Mohamed Ali Pasha and particularly the treatment of ancient monuments. The topic of the famous "Westcar Papyrus", which owes its name to the author of the journal, is discussed in an excursus. German description: Am 6. November 1823 landeten vier Englander im Hafen von Alexandria. In den folgenden zehn Monaten bereisten sie den Nil bis zum 2. Katarakt und erlebten dabei die Wirren einer Revolution gegen Mohamed Ali Pascha, den Vizekonig von Agypten. Der vorliegende Band veroffentlicht und kommentiert erstmalig das gesamte Tagebuch des Henry Westcar, das auf dieser Reise entstand. Daruber hinaus gibt das Buch einen fundierten Uberblick uber die Herrschaft Mohamed Ali Paschas im Allgemeinen und den Umgang mit den antiken Denkmalern im Besonderen. In einem Exkurs wird die Frage nach dem beruhmten "Papyrus Westcar" diskutiert, der seinen Namen dem Verfasser des Tagebuches verdankt.

The Old Kingdom of Egypt (circa 2613-2181 BC) is otherwise called the 'Age of the Pyramids' or 'Age of the Pyramid Builders' as it incorporated the great fourth Dynasty when King Sneferu idealized the craft of pyramid building, and the pyramids of Giza were developed under the rulers Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The verifiable records of this period, the fourth, sixth Dynasties of Egypt, are scant, and antiquarians respect the historical backdrop of the time as in a real sense 'written in stone' and generally compositional in that it is through the landmarks and their engravings that researchers have had the option to develop a set of experiences. The actual pyramids transfer sparse data on their developers. However, the morgue sanctuaries fabricated close by, and the stelae which went with them give the ruler's names and other significant data. Further, engravings in stone made somewhere else from the time record different occasions and the dates on which they happened. At last, the burial place of the last lord of the fifth Dynasty, Unas, gives the main Pyramid Texts (expand artworks and engravings inside the burial chamber), which shed light on the strict convictions of the time.

From Herodotus to The Mummy, Western civilization has long been fascinated with the exotic myths and legends of Ancient Egypt but they have often been misunderstood. Here acclaimed Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley guides us through 3000 years of changing stories and, in retelling them, shows us what they mean. Gathered from pyramid friezes, archaological finds and contemporary documents, these vivid and strange stories explain everything from why the Nile flooded every year to their beliefs about what exactly happened after death and shed fascinating light on what life was like for both rich and poor. Lavishly illustrated with colour pictures, maps and family trees, helpful glossaries explaining all the major gods and timelines of the Pharoahs and most importantly packed with unforgettable stories, this book offers the perfect introduction to Egyptian history and civilization.

Pyramids And Literature In Ancient Egypt written by Asher Benowitz and has been published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with History categories.

Pyramids have been around for thousands of years, but we still don't know exactly how they were built. The oldest pyramids are found at Giza and Saqqara. The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and was built during the fourth dynasty (2575-2150 BC). During this time, there was also an increase in writing, literature, and artisanship. The Westcar Papyrus tells us of three royal women who lived during the 4th dynasty: Khufu's mother Henutsen, his wife Hetepheres I, and her sister Meresankh II. The latter was also his daughter-in-law because she married his son Khafre (ruled 2558–2532 BC). She may have been buried inside this pyramid when she died at age 26. The first hieroglyphic text was written on papyrus in about 3100 B.C. It is from a chapter from The Book Of Journey To Heaven (called book 6), which describes how Ra travels with Thoth as they visit each nome (district) throughout Egypt during a period called "the Festival Of Night," where they praise Osiris while traveling through space towards his underworld kingdom every year at midnight between June 21st/22nd - July 21st/22nd when Orion rises as Sirius sets below it just before dawn on these days known later as Dog Days because dogs often suffer heat exhaustion then too due to lack of moisture caused by intense sunlight reflecting off asphalt surfaces like sidewalks or blacktop parking lots heating up too much due to all that reflected energy bouncing back into our faces which makes us sweat which causes dehydration if we don't drink enough water!

The gods were such an important part of Leila’s world that she saw them in almost every aspect of her daily life – but she had never expected to have one as a pet. Leila is tired of the constant hustle and bustle that comes with living in Bubastis, the ancient Egyptian city of cats, especially when an important festival is fast approaching. That is until, one day, she comes across a very unusual cat with a very unusual problem. With the city in danger and the festival about to be ruined forever, it’s a race against time to recover a lost magical item from the depths of the pharaoh’s tomb and rescue the people from a dark and sinister threat. Can Leila and her new companion save the city of the cat goddess before it’s too late?
