Podcasts about Amarna

Les cônes parfumés que l'on voit sur certaines représentations de l'Égypte antique ont longtemps intrigué les égyptologues. Pendant des siècles, leur existence même a été débattue, car aucun exemplaire physique n'avait été retrouvé. Cependant, des découvertes récentes ont confirmé qu'il s'agissait d'objets bien réels et non de simples éléments symboliques.Un élément iconographique ancienLes cônes apparaissent fréquemment dans l'iconographie égyptienne, notamment sur des fresques de tombes datant du Nouvel Empire (vers 1550-1070 av. J.-C.). Ils sont souvent portés par des femmes, mais aussi par des hommes, en particulier lors de banquets, de cérémonies religieuses et de rituels funéraires.Les Égyptiens se représentaient souvent coiffés de ces cônes aux côtés de dieux, ou en train de recevoir des offrandes dans l'au-delà, suggérant un lien avec le sacré et le divin.Que contenaient ces cônes ?Pendant longtemps, les chercheurs pensaient qu'il s'agissait de cônes de graisse parfumée, qui fondaient lentement sous la chaleur et libéraient des essences odorantes sur les cheveux et la peau. Ce parfum aurait eu une fonction à la fois cosmétique, hygiénique et rituelle.Cependant, des fouilles récentes à Amarna (ancienne capitale du pharaon Akhenaton) ont permis la découverte de véritables cônes. Contrairement aux hypothèses initiales, ils n'étaient pas composés de graisse, mais d'une sorte de cire parfumée, probablement fabriquée à partir de résine et d'huiles aromatiques.Fonctions et symbolisme1. Hygiène et bien-être : L'Égypte antique était un environnement chaud et poussiéreux. Ces cônes auraient diffusé des parfums agréables pour masquer les odeurs corporelles et rafraîchir leur porteur. 2. Fonction religieuse et funéraire : Ils apparaissent souvent dans des scènes liées aux rites funéraires, suggérant qu'ils pouvaient symboliser la purification et la renaissance. Certains chercheurs pensent qu'ils faisaient partie des rituels préparant l'âme du défunt à rejoindre l'au-delà. 3. Statut social et séduction : Les cônes étaient souvent associés aux membres de l'élite, indiquant un statut privilégié. Ils pourraient aussi avoir servi à accentuer la beauté et l'attrait des femmes lors de festivités. Un mystère en partie résoluBien que leur fonction exacte soit encore débattue, les découvertes récentes confirment que ces cônes étaient bien réels et jouaient un rôle à la fois pratique et symbolique dans la société égyptienne antique.

La Voce di oggi è quella dell' importantissimo archivio di lettere amarniano rinvenuto accidentalmente nel 1887, presso il sito dell'antica capitale fatta costruire ex novo da Amenofi IV (Akhenaton) in Medio Egitto. I due lotti (per un totale di circa 380 tavolette, redatte perlopiù in caratteri cuneiformi e in lingua babilonese) di cui l'archivio si compone sono una preziosissima testimonianza che ci restituisce la complessità delle relazioni diplomatiche fra l'Egitto e gli altri regni del Vicino Oriente durante il Tardo Bronzo. Nelle missive, due i principali aspetti trattati: lo scambio di doni e quello matrimoniale. Bibliografia: M. LIVERANI, Le lettere di el-Amarna, 2 voll., Brescia, Paideia, 1998-1999; R. COHEN E R.

La Voce di oggi è quella più rappresentativa di una parentesi irripetibile della Storia dell'Antico Egitto. L'Inno ad Aton, redatto in neoegiziano per essere più popolare e conservatosi presso la tomba di Ay ad Amarna, è infatti emblematico di quella che per molto tempo è stata definita "rivoluzione amarniana". In esso il faraone Amenhotep IV (al secolo Akhenaton) celebra il sole nella sua natura di disco sensibile creatore di tutte le cose e ben introduce l'Atonismo, ossia quello che -erroneamente- è stato a lungo definito come "culto monoteistico". Come sempre, a favore dell'ascoltatore, per alcuni passaggi dell'Inno si è preferito fornire una parafrasi del testo in traduzione, altri, invece, sono stati omessi. Bibliografia M.

Matthew Dowling, preaching minister at the Plymouth Church of Christ, preached a message titled "How Do I Know I Can Trust the Bible?" from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and various scriptures. The May-June sermon series is "Solid Answers for Searching Questions." The sermon tackles the perceived conflict between the Bible and scientific discovery, showcasing how scripture has historically aligned with scientific truths. It presents five lines of evidence supporting the Bible's authenticity, highlighting its scientific accuracy and historical reliability. Personal anecdotes, including the speaker's transition from skepticism to belief, demonstrate the Bible's prescient insights into natural phenomena and its practical applications, such as quarantine practices, long before they were scientifically understood. Key Stories and Scripture References: The story of a woman with advanced dementia who could only remember the Lord's Prayer, illustrating the profound impact of scripture. The account of Howard Rutledge, a POW whose survival hinged on the biblical passages he remembered, showcasing the Bible's ability to provide strength and comfort in dire circumstances. The Bible's foresight is exemplified by Job 26:7, which speaks of the Earth hanging on nothing, aligning with the modern understanding of Earth suspended in space. Isaiah's ancient description of the Earth as a sphere (Isaiah 40:22) and the concept of quarantine from Leviticus 13:46, which was applied effectively during historical plagues, demonstrate the Bible's scientific prescience. The historical reliability of the Bible is supported by archaeological discoveries, such as the Amarna tablets confirming written language in Moses' time, and the finding of King Belshazzar's clay tablet, confirming his existence as mentioned in the Book of Daniel. The sermon invites listeners to consider the transformative potential of the Bible and its place in their lives, encouraging them to embrace a journey of faith guided by scripture. It underscores the Bible's influence on literature and language, and its role in shaping society through the works of missionaries and translators. The sermon emphasizes the Bible's enduring power and relevance, challenging individuals to rediscover its truth and guidance. Here is a 5-Day devotional based on this sermon: Day 1: The Earth Suspended in Space Bible Reading: Job 26:7 Devotional: As we begin our journey through the truths of Scripture, let us marvel at the wisdom found in the book of Job. The idea of Earth hanging on nothing, suspended in the vastness of space, was penned long before humanity had the means to discover this reality for themselves. Today, reflect on the vastness of God's creation and the precision with which He governs the universe. Consider how this knowledge might deepen your trust in God's sovereignty over every aspect of your life. Question for Reflection: How does the knowledge that God created and sustains the entire universe influence your perspective on your personal challenges and place in the world? Day 2: The Shape of the Earth Bible Reading: Isaiah 40:22 Devotional: Isaiah describes God as sitting above the circle of the Earth, giving us a glimpse into the spherical shape of our planet. This ancient insight predates modern science by centuries, reminding us that divine revelation stands the test of time. Today, ponder the wisdom and foreknowledge of God. As you go about your day, think about how God's timeless truths apply to the world around you and to your understanding of His word. Question for Reflection: In what ways does recognizing the Bible's historical reliability impact your daily walk with God? Day 3: The Concept of Quarantine Bible Reading: Leviticus 13:46 Devotional: The instructions given to Moses about quarantine demonstrate the Bible's insight into health and safety, principles that align with what we understand today. The ancient practice of quarantine, designed to protect and preserve the community, shows us God's care for the wellbeing of His people. As you meditate on this passage, reflect on how the Bible's guidance is relevant to your life, both spiritually and practically. Question for Reflection: How can you apply the principle of protecting and caring for others in your own life, as taught in Leviticus? Day 4: The Bible's Influence and Comfort Bible Reading: John 17:17 Devotional: In His prayer, Jesus asks the Father to sanctify His followers in the truth, declaring God's word as the ultimate truth. This powerful passage speaks to the comforting and transforming influence of Scripture in our lives. Reflect on times when the Bible has provided you solace and strength. Consider the impact that the living Word of God has had on you, and how it has sustained you in times of trial. Question for Reflection: What is a specific instance where the truths of the Bible have brought you comfort or guidance in a challenging situation? Day 5: The Endurance of God's Word Bible Reading: Matthew 24:35 Devotional: Jesus tells us that heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will never pass away. This final reflection centers on the enduring power of God's Word. As we close our week, consider the Bible's resilience through history and its constant presence as a source of truth and guidance. Think about the role Scripture plays in your life and how you can engage more deeply with the living Word that stands forever. Question for Reflection: How can you make the study and application of God's enduring Word a more consistent part of your daily life?

Marjorie Hope is the author of CONNECTIPLOMACY: Using Our Differences to Connect, and she graduated from Salisbury University and obtained postgraduate certifications from the London School of Economics and Harvard University. She owned and operated a large gymnastics school as a competitive gymnast, embracing the synergy between mind, body, and spirit while incorporating the importance of being “fit for life” and that “more is possible.” In 2016, she founded America Connected, an international non-profit and non-partisan organization teaching people worldwide how to connect through cultural diplomacy.   Connecting through Respect and YES, we can find common ground.   From the dawn of civilization to the modern era, the practice of diplomacy has woven an intricate weave of harmony, understanding, and mutual respect. Great kingdoms engaged in diplomacy, exemplified by the brilliance of the Amarna system, where clay tablets etched with wisdom and eloquence crisscrossed the region, paving the way for peace, trade, and cultural exchange. Great Kings recognized that "cooperation," not conflict, reigned supreme—a lesson echoing through the corridors of time.       I can teach people how to connect through our differences, develop mutual respect, and alleviate anxiety through diplomacy. Diplomacy demands a careful understanding of the positions and interests of all parties involved, highlighting the possibility of finding common ground even in conflict. It emphasizes maintaining cordial and respectful relationships with foreign leaders, even during times of tension. I firmly believe in the importance of civility and courtesy in international relations, emphasizing the need for patience, persistence, and mutual respect in achieving diplomatic goals, especially in our everyday world.  My experiences include stories of diplomacy with a sheik in Dubai, a Japanese Prime Minister, and the balconies in Italy!   https://americaconnected.org/ 

The daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti were not just "ornaments" for their parents. Like many princesses, they also participated in the religious rituals and royal pageantry of the Egyptian government. In this interview, Courtney Marx (MA, George Mason University) joins us on behalf of the American Research Center in Egypt, to discuss the Amarna princesses and their role as priestesses. We also explore the history of royal women as priestesses and the unique roles they played in the temple rituals. Finally, we explore the aftermath of Amarna: how the visible roles, titles, and imagery of princesses changed following the death of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The American Research Center in Egypt is celebrating 75 years of work in the Nile Valley. Dedicated to scholarship of the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds, the ARCE supports researchers and students, funds archaeological and scholarly work, and organises many public outreach programs.

En este programa os contaremos la actualidad y muchas cosas más sobre la excavación que está teniendo lugar en Luxor de la Tumba del Visir Amen Hotep Huy, que se construyó alrededor del año 1.500 a.c. Para ello contamos con una increíble entrevista a los arqueólogos Teresa Bedman y Francisco Jose Martín Valentín, encargados de la excavación, que nos contarán los secretos que nos están arrojando los estudios de esta tumba. Lo que inicialmente empezó como una excavación de un visir, ha terminado sacando a la luz una amplia necrópolis en uso más de 1.000 años. Además, os contaremos como los descubrimientos de esta tumba han llevado a desestrañar algunos secretos del Antiguo Egipto en relación con el periodo Amarna, de forma que han dado a conocer el verdadero linaje de Faraones tan famosos como Akenatón o el mismo Tutankamon. Esperemos que lo disfrutéis. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the woman who inspired one of the best known artefacts from ancient Egypt. The Bust of Nefertiti is multicoloured and symmetrical, about 49cm/18" high and, despite the missing left eye, still holds the gaze of onlookers below its tall, blue, flat topped headdress. Its discovery in 1912 in Amarna was kept quiet at first but its display in Berlin in the 1920s caused a sensation, with replicas sent out across the world. Ever since, as with Tutankhamun perhaps, the concrete facts about Nefertiti herself have barely kept up with the theories, the legends and the speculation, reinvigorated with each new discovery.

Today Dr. Jacquelyn Williamson, an Associate Professor of Art and Archaeology (of the Mediterranean World) at George Mason University, joins the podcast to talk about her research in Egypt. Dr. Williamson focuses her research on issues of gender and religious power in Ancient Egypt, such as at the site of Tell el-Amarna, the site of Nefertiti's Sun Temple. Dr. Williamson received her BA at Sarah Lawrence in Ancient History and Art History, and her MA/PhD The Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Williamson shares her deep love and scholarly fascination of Egypt in our conversation. She recounts her first visit, as well as subsequent visits to the Tell el-Amarna site, including the discovery of the Sun Temple. She also explains and helps unravel some of the mystery of King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti through artistic representations of them in the temple. Dr. Williamson champions that art is an artifact, and discusses the process of interpreting the history of this Ancient Egyptian site.

Quizá un campo poco conocido popularmente del Antiguo Egipto sea la diplomacia y relaciones de los faraones con los reyes de países vecinos. En este sentido las denominadas Cartas de Amarna revelan cómo eran y se llevaban a cabo estas acciones diplomáticas de las que hoy os traigo cómo fueron descubiertas así como ejemplos de su contenido. Las "Cartas de Amarna", también conocidas como "Cartas de Tell el-Amarna", son un conjunto de tablillas de arcilla escritas en escritura cuneiforme en lengua acadia que fueron descubiertas en el sitio arqueológico de Amarna, en Egipto. Estas cartas datan de mediados del siglo XIV a.C. y provienen del reinado del faraón egipcio Akenatón (también conocido como Amenhotep IV). Akenatón fue un faraón de la dinastía XVIII que gobernó en Egipto desde aproximadamente 1353 a.C. hasta 1336 a.C. Durante su reinado, realizó cambios significativos en la religión egipcia al promover el culto exclusivo al dios solar Atón en lugar de la adoración tradicional a los numerosos dioses del panteón egipcio. Esta nueva forma de monoteísmo se conoce como el "Atenismo" o el "Monoteísmo Amarniano". Las Cartas de Amarna fueron escritas principalmente entre Akenatón y varios líderes de otras naciones vecinas, como reyes y gobernantes de ciudades-estado de la región de Canaán, así como de imperios como el imperio hitita y el imperio asirio. Estas cartas proporcionan una valiosa visión de la política y las relaciones internacionales de la época, así como detalles sobre la propagación del culto al dios Atón y los esfuerzos diplomáticos entre Egipto y otras potencias regionales. Las cartas también arrojan luz sobre la correspondencia personal entre Akenatón y sus homólogos extranjeros, lo que muestra la importancia y el estatus de Egipto en el escenario internacional de la época. El descubrimiento de las Cartas de Amarna en 1887 por el arqueólogo alemán Hugo Winckler fue un evento arqueológico significativo, y estas cartas han proporcionado una rica fuente de información para los estudiosos interesados en la historia del antiguo Egipto y las relaciones diplomáticas y políticas del antiguo Oriente Próximo.

Episode 216 – Ten Commandments – Part 12 – An Essential Exodus Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script: These are the words that Moses spoke … across the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel, … It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea. In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, in accordance with everything that the LORD had commanded him. Deuteronomy, Chapter 1, verse 17, New American Standard Bible ******** VK: Hello! Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. I’m Victoria K. We’re glad that you are able to join us for another episode of Anchored by Truth. Today, we are going to wrap up our series on the Ten Commandments. To help us finish off this very important we have RD Fierro in the studio. RD is an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. RD, we have a lot of information to get to today as we close out this series. And anyone who would like to hear any of our previous episodes can always find them on our website: crystalseabooks.com . We’ve covered a lot of material in this series but you said that today you want to take up another topic that’s relevant to the Ten Commandments that, so far, we have only briefly mentioned. What’s on your mind? RD: Well, to get started I would also like to welcome everyone to this episode of Anchored by Truth. And the subject that I wanted to address, at least briefly, before we close out the series is how we can be confident that the Ten Commandments are what the Bible portrays them to be – transcendent moral and ethical principles. In other words, how do we know that the books that contain the Ten Commandments are reliable and trustworthy? VK: Regular listeners to Anchored by Truth listeners know, we believe that there are four lines of evidence that demonstrate that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. First, the Bible is historically reliable. Second, the Bible displays a remarkable unity for a book that was composed by over 3 dozen human authors who wrote over a span of 1,500 years. Third, the Bible gives evidence of supernatural origin especially through a large body of fulfilled prophecy. And the 4th line of evidence is that the Bible has resulted in an untold number of lives that have been positively changed by its transcendent message. We also strongly believe that the Christian faith is a faith that is grounded in evidence, logic, and reason. Contrary to the refrain that you hear from some people that – “you have faith, but I have reason” – we believe that a proper use of logic, reason, and evidence actually demonstrates that the Christian faith is true. RD: Yes. And we believe that these lines of evidence support the historicity and validity of the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Or, speaking more broadly, we believe these 4 lines of evidence support the traditional view that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible which are sometimes called the Pentateuch. The traditional view that Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible has been under attack for probably close to 200 years now. And we don’t have time in this show to go into all the heretical alternatives to Mosaic authorship that have been proposed. The alternatives are well known, well-publicized, and, sadly, taught in many seminaries. But the rebuttal to those heresies get far less coverage. So, that’s what we want to concentrate on today. VK: Where do you want to start? RD: Let’s start with some of the internal evidence contained in the Pentateuch that strongly supports the traditional view. To begin with let’s remind everyone that the Ten Commandments are first given in Exodus, the 2nd book of the Bible, but they are repeated in Deuteronomy, the 5th book of the Bible. This repetition is consistent with God’s pattern of repeating major themes in scripture. Just as a general statement God often repeats big ideas in more than one Bible book and certainly the Ten Commandments are such a “big idea.” The Ten Commandments were a critical part of God establishing the new nation God wanted the ancient Hebrews to form after He delivered them from Egyptian captivity. VK: And this pattern of repetition and reinforcement is itself strong evidence of the unity of scripture. There are 66 books within the Bible but there is a single Mind behind all of the books. RD: Yes. So, one observation that demonstrates the fact that Moses wrote the book of Exodus is that the crops and the crop sequence that is contained in chapter 9 of Exodus is consistent with the agricultural cycle of Egypt but not Palestine. Most of the alternatives to Mosaic authorship speculate that the Pentateuch was composed, or at least completed, in either the territory of Israel or Babylon somewhere between the 8th century BC and the 5th century BC. But when the book of Exodus describes the sequence of plagues that affected the Egyptian crops the writer got the type of crops, and the sequence in which those crops would mature, correct. VK: Similarly, when Moses mentions trees and animals in Exodus as in one of the other books of the Pentateuch the trees and animals Moses names are found in either Egypt or in the Sinai Peninsula. The Sinai Peninsula was where Israel wandered for the 40 year period between the parting of the Red Sea and their arrival in Palestine across from the city of Jericho. For instance, the acacia tree which is featured in the wood used for making the tabernacle – essentially a big tent – is found commonly in Egypt or the Sinai but it is rare in Palestine except right around the Dead Sea. Another example is the animal skin that was used to cover the tabernacle or the furniture used in the tabernacle during transportation. The animal mentioned is a dugong which is found in the waters adjacent to Egypt or the Sinai but is unknown in Israel. The dugong is a marine mammal that is similar to a manatee. RD: Exactly. And a third compelling example of internal evidence that points to Mosaic authorship in the 15th century BC are the geographical references found in the Pentateuch. For instance, in Genesis, chapter 13, the writer wants to make the point that the Jordan River valley is filled with lush plant life. In conveying his thought the writer refers his reader to “the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.” In doing so the writer is presuming that his audience knows what that region of Egypt is like. Otherwise there would have been no point in using it as a reference. That would have been completely unnecessary if the writer had been writing during a time period when the Israelites had been living in Palestine for hundreds of years. Furthermore, the specific geographic reference the writer is using is in the Egyptian delta region which is the region in which scripture tells us the Israelites settled when they first went down to Egypt because of the famine in Palestine. VK: And what is even more striking about the geographical references in the Pentateuch is an almost complete absence of any reference to Jerusalem. The only mention of the city which was to become the centerpiece of Israelite history and culture is in the encounter between Abraham and Melchizedek when the book of Genesis notes that Melchizedek was the king of Salem. If the books of the Pentateuch had been written in either Israel or after the Babylonians had conquered Jerusalem there is no way an author writing then would have left Jerusalem out of his history. Jerusalem wasn’t just the capital city of the Hebrew people, it was where Solomon had built the temple. Jerusalem and the temple had been the center of Israelite life and worship for hundreds of years at the time the heretics claim the Pentateuch was written. Writing a history of their people at that time and ignoring Jerusalem would have been like someone writing a history of Great Britain in the 19th century and ignoring London. The idea would have been unthinkable. RD: So, those are just a few parts of the internal evidence that shows that Exodus, Deuteronomy, and the other books of the Pentateuch were written by Moses in the 15th century BC and that he wrote them during a prolonged period in the Sinai desert. But in addition to the internal evidence that supports Mosaic authorship there is also external evidence that supports the traditional timeframe and location. For instance, there is a group of letters well known to scholars called the Amarna letters. The Amarna letters are a group of clay tablets which contain correspondence between Canaan/Syria and Egypt in the 1300s BC. In these texts, the rulers of various cities in Palestine and Syria complained that the Canaanite territories were frequently under attack from peoples they called ‘Apiru. This is not a term that refers exclusively to Israelites, but could have been a term applied to them in many cases. The rulers of the cities were writing to the Egyptians because the cities had been vassals of Egypt for a long time. The Canaanite and Syrian rulers wanted help to defend themselves and get rid of the attackers. The letters show that Egypt’s influence in Canaan was diminishing compared to earlier time periods. After all, if the Egyptians still had firm control of those territories the attacks wouldn’t have begun in the first place. VK: And it’s important to note that the Amarna letters were written at a time about a hundred years after the Bible tells us that the Hebrews under Joshua had begun attacking cities in Canaan and taking them over. The pharaohs of the time basically ignored the pleas for help from their Canaanite vassals. This fits nicely with the record in Joshua and Judges that Egypt was not an impediment to the Israelites entering the land. A lot of people mistakenly think that Jericho fell and then Hebrews just assumed control of all of Palestine. But that’s not what happened at all. The Bible presents a complex picture of the conquest than a fast invasion and permanent takeover of the whole Promised Land. RD: Many of the cities and places Joshua defeated were not occupied by the Israelites, but left abandoned. This allowed the indigenous peoples of Canaan to move back in. For a number of these cities, such as Megiddo, Gezer, and Jerusalem, Joshua’s army killed their kings, but the books of Joshua and Judges also consistently state that Israel failed to drive out the inhabitants of these cities completely. These same cities appear in the Amarna letters as those still under Canaanite authorities, so there is actually good harmony between the Biblical record and the Amarna letters. Another fascinating archeological find that helps support the Biblical account contained in the book of Exodus is a stela that was found in a shrine that is connected with the Great Sphinx at Gizeh. A stela is essentially a small stone column or pillar that has carved inscriptions. In this case the inscription records a dream of Thutmose IV (1421 – 1410 BC). In the dream Thutmose said that the god Harmakhis appeared to him and promised Thutmose that he would one day rule Egypt. Thutmose said that this dream happened when he was only one of many princes of royal family. VK: Well, that doesn’t seem to be that remarkable a dream. Promising a prince that he would one day become a king, or in this case the Pharaoh, doesn’t seem like it would be so unusual that it would merit being inscribed on a stone column and preserved in a shrine. RD: I agree. Just from the bare facts it doesn’t seem like a dream to a prince that he would become a king would be that remarkable. But in this case we have to remember that at the time he received the dream Thutmose was just one of many of the princes. In other words, it’s most likely that Thutmose at this point was not likely to become the pharaoh. The order of succession in Egypt was strictly determined by birth order in those days. So, if Thutmose had an older brother the older brother would have been in line to become pharaoh not Thutmose. But history tells us that Thutmose did become Pharaoh in 1421 after Amenhotep II who is regarded by many scholars as being the Pharaoh of the Exodus. VK: I think I see what you are getting at. If Amenhotep was the Pharaoh ruling Egypt at the time of the Exodus his successor would have been whoever his eldest son was. But the last plague that was visited upon the Egyptians was the death of the firstborn of every house. The New International Version of Exodus, chapter 12, verse 29 says, “At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.” That means that the eldest son of Pharaoh – the one who would have been expected to become the Pharaoh – would have died. The death of the crown prince, the eldest son, would have meant that another son of Pharaoh would have taken his place. So, whichever son eventually took the place of the crown prince who died would have grown up not expecting to become Pharaoh. So, a dream in which a supposed god came and told him that he would eventually become pharaoh would have been a remarkable event – an event remarkable enough to be literally carved in stone. RD: Exactly. Scholars are not united in how they date the ruling periods of various dynasties and pharaohs in Egypt. So, the dates and sequences we are discussing are supported by many scholars but not all. But the stela is real and the inscription is real. It is also possible that Thutmose was the crown prince all along and the dream was simply a reinforcement that he would live long enough to succeed his father. But as the well-known Biblical scholar Gleason Archer noted, “But since this would have been the normal sequence of events, hardly requiring any unusual favor from the gods, it is far more likely that Thutmose was not the crown prince at the time he had the dream.” VK: At any rate the people and times involved give rise to the distinct possibility that this stone column provides additional evidence of the historical reliability of the book of Exodus. In that regard, it’s interesting to note that even the name Thutmose is somewhat helpful because it and the name “Moses” obviously have a common origin. And since that origin is indisputably Egyptian it lends credence to the Bible’s record that Moses was given his name by Pharaoh’s daughter when she took him out of the Nile River. It would make no sense that a group of Jewish writers writing hundreds of years after the Jews had occupied Palestine would have given their great lawgiver and deliverer such a distinctly Egyptian name. RD: Exactly. There are other archeological finds that also provide external evidence that supports the reliability of Exodus and the other books of the Pentateuch such as the fact that the various plagues described in Exodus have a direct connection to the Egyptian pantheon of gods. When the One True God hit the Egyptians with plagues He wasn’t doing it just to make the Egyptians miserable He was doing it to demonstrate His superiority over the gods they worshipped. For instance, the plague against the Nile showed the God of Moses’ superiority over the Egyptian god Hepi. The plague of frogs was directed at the goddess Heket and the plague of darkness against the god Ra. A good bit of evidence is available through simple internet searches and we’ve put a couple of links in the notes that will accompany the podcast version of this episode. VK: So, the point that we are getting to is that there is both good internal and external evidence that points to the authenticity of the books of Exodus, Deuteronomy, and the other books of the Pentateuch. The evidence shows that these books are historically reliable and if they are historically reliable about names, places, plants, trees, and animals it means they can be trusted when they report about things that we can’t verify simply by our own observations like Moses sighting of the burning bush. And in other series on Anchored by Truth we have discussed extensively the scientific evidence that supports the historicity of the most contest book of the Bible, Genesis. We would particularly point people to our Truth in Genesis series. And, again, all of our previous episodes of Anchored by Truth are available from our website. So, what final thoughts do you have as we close out this series. RD: We’ve discussed a number of overarching themes during this series. God gave Moses, the ancient Hebrews, and us the Ten Commandments for our good. God doesn’t need them. We do. Just looking around us today we can see the need for human beings to be told that they must not lie, steal, commit adultery or sexual immorality, or kill innocent human beings. Those social pathologies, those sins are rampant in our world today. Imagine what they might be if there were no restraints on them at all. VK: I imagine our world might look a lot like the world of Noah just before God sent the flood because “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” That’s Genesis, chapter 6, verse 5 from the New International Version. RD: It might and that would be truly sad. So, from our own observations we can see the need for the last 5 of the Ten Commandments to restrain evil and sin. And we have seen that one big reason God gave us the Ten Commandments was to protect His dignity and the dignity of the only creature that bears His image, mankind. VK: One thread that ties all of the commandments together is that are concerned with the dignity of God and the dignity of people because they are God’s image bearers. The last 5 of the commandments would not have been necessary if the fall had never occurred because their primary purpose is to restrain sin in the fallen creation. But even these commandments are bound together by dignity. The 6th commandment is concerned with the dignity of their lives, the 7th the dignity of marriage, and the 8th the dignity of work. The 9th commandment is concerned with the dignity of words, speech, and truth. And the 10th commandment is concerned with the dignity of desire – especially our desire for God. And one final point we should cover before we close for today is all of these observations point us back to reality of the creation record that is contained in Genesis. RD: The commandments were given to us in a specific order. The first 3 commandments were concerned with the dignity of God’s nature and personhood. The 4th and 5th commandments were concerned with the manifestation of God’s dignity into the created order. The 4th commandment had to do with the period of God’s creative activity and the 5th commandment to honor fathers and mothers had to do with the product of God’s creative activity. VK: But of course all of these observations are only applicable if the Ten Commandments are authentic pronouncements of an all-powerful, all-knowing God. And that means the books they come from must be reliable records – which, as we have discussed briefly today, they are. RD: In a very real sense the continued, widespread presence of sin shows that the Ten Commandments were a very wise precaution God took to try to forestall the ultimate decline of His people. And the failure of all of us to honor the Ten Commandments points to our profound need for a Savior to rescue us from our own rebellion. But we will only be rescued if we trust in the Savior and we can only know about the Savior from His word – the Bible. One of the most disturbing reports I have heard recently is that a recent survey said that only 20% of the people in America consider the Bible to be the literal word of God. But 29% consider the Bible to be a collection of myths and fairy tales. That disturbing statistic tells us that there is a profound ignorance about the Bible in too many places and for this nation, or any nation, to have any hope we must address this situation. VK: I think this points us back to where we started. There are at least 4 lines of evidence that support the validity and reliability of the Bible: remarkable unity, reliable history, fulfilled prophecy, and redeemed destinies. But none of the evidence will do anyone any good if we don’t know about it. You have often said that Christians must become people of fact in a world absorbed with feelings. RD: Christians must indeed become people of facts in a world full of feelings. The world today is either distracted by its entertainment or immersed in oceans of angst and manufactured emotion. It fills our airways, internet channels, and surrounds us visually. Advertisers and fund seekers know that people will more often act on emotion than reason and fact. So, even though you hear the mantra, “you have faith but we have science” often, the truth is the exact opposite. Christians have a faith that is supported by logic, reason, and evidence including scientific evidence. But as you said, none of the evidence will do any good for those who ignore it or won’t absorb it. God is a God of facts. Jesus is our Savior because of the fact of the resurrection. Jesus proclaimed “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He didn’t say He felt like He was. He said that He was. The facts and truth are on our side. Jesus has already won the victory but it’s up to us to proclaim that good news as widely as possible. The Ten Commandments contain abundant evidence that they are good for us but the reason they are good for us is because they came from an Almighty God who wants good for His people. VK: Well, this sound like a good time to end for today and go to prayer. Since we are rapidly approaching Father’s Day, today let’s listen to a prayer for our fathers. Hopefully, you were blessed with having a Godly father that you can respect and admire readily. But even those who weren’t blessed with an earthy father who was the kind we all hope for, we all have a heavenly Father who never leaves us or forsakes us and who wants all of His children to know the joy and peace of His goodness. ---- PRAYER FOR FATHER’S DAY VK: We’d like to remind our audience that a lot of our radio episodes are linked together in series of topics so if they missed any episodes or if they just want to hear one again, all of these episodes are available on your favorite podcast app. To find them just search on “Anchored by Truth by Crystal Sea Books.” If you’d like to hear more, try out crystalseabooks.com where “We’re not perfect but our Boss is!” (Opening Bible Quote from the New American Standard Bible) Deuteronomy, Chapter 1, verse 17, New American Standard Bible Exodus evidence revisited (creation.com) Ten Egyptian Plagues for Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses - Owlcation 10_Eqyptian_gods_10_Plagues.pdf (rice.edu) History, prophecy, ancestry, unity, and relevance The Bible says that Jabin, king of Hazor, was responsible for organizing this coalition, and then it adds, “Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms” (Joshua 11:10, emphasis added). Later, according to the book of Judges, when another Jabin (probably a royal title like ‘Pharaoh’) reigned in Hazor, he is described not merely as king of Hazor, but “king of Canaan who reigned at Hazor” (Judges 4:2, cf. 4:23–24, emphasis added). Again, the biblical testimony is that Hazor was in a strong position of authority in Canaan. These ‘Amarna Letters’ would span a 30-year period (or less) that falls within the early history of the biblical Judges, when Israel was established in the land yet still battling for control of much territory (Judges 1–2).7 Numerous Canaanite city rulers are mentioned in the Amarna Letters as “mayors”, but the only one to be called “king” is the ruler of Hazor. He refers to himself as king in Letter 227, and a rival ruler from Tyre describes him using that title as well in Letter 148.8 Israeli army general and archaeologist Yigael Yadin, who led several excavation seasons at Hazor from 1955–1969, wrote, “This indicates no doubt that the King of Hazor’s rule embraced more than the city itself.”9 History, prophecy, ancestry, unity, and relevance

Season 2 Episode 8 Thank you for joining me for Season 2 Episode 8 of the Strange Neighborhood Podcast and today we go back in time all the way to the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt and examine the strange and mysterious life of one of the most recognizable figures of all time, the enigmatic Nefertiti. Even after more than 3000 years the mystery surrounding Egypt's queen Nefertiti is still fascinating to archeologists and historical researchers, no one knows where she came from or who she was before becoming queen, but she ruled alongside her husband, the Pharaoh Akenhaten, from Amarna the capital they established and had constructed in tribute of Atin, the new monotheistic sun god that was represented by the solar disk. If you look up ancient depictions of this queen and her immediate family, including her husband, you will notice something striking about their physical appearance... elongated skulls. Akenaten, Nefertiti, their six daughters, and curiously, Tutenkhamen or king Tut (Egyptologists argue whether he is Nefertiti's son or not). The mummies found that correspond to the members in this family present this cranial abnormality so we know its not just an artists interpretation. These ancient royals are the only figures in ancient egyptian history to have cranial abnomalities of this kind.... and from here it just gets weirder.

The Amarna Letters are some of the most fascinating extra-biblical texts from the time of the Bible. Specifically, they paint a picture of the trouble the kings of Canaan were in as the Israelites began to take over the land.I believe that you will find this fascinating and helpful as we dive into the world of Joshua and the conquering Israelites taking the promised land.I am in debt to the research by so many archaeologists for the source material for this episode, but I want to especially thank the researchers at The Associates for Biblical Research. I highly recommend you check out the resources on their website regarding the conquest period and the Amarna Letters.Citations from this video:The Exodus Controversy: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/2288-the-exodus-controversyNew Discoveries at Rameses: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3824-new-discoveries-at-ramesesAmenhoteop II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh. https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3147-amenhotep-ii-and-the-historicity-of-the-exodus-pharaohAmenhotep II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3147-amenhotep-ii-and-the-historicity-of-the-exodus-pharaohThe Amarna Letters, Edited and Translated by William L.

La expulsión de los hicsos del Antiguo Egipto supuso la llegada del Reino Nuevo. La Decimoctava Dinastía trajo nuevos bríos con personajes míticos como Harsepsut, Tutmosis III, Serenmut, Horemheb o Tutankamón. El impacto de Nefertiti, esposa de Ajenatón, en el imaginario colectivo es indudable. A lo largo de estos dos programas, Arqueomanía se adentra en los entresijos de esta célebre dinastía, visitando lugares tan emblemáticos como Deir el Bahari o Amarna. La primera entrega transcurre fundamentalmente en Luxor. Un equipo español, dirigido por Teresa Bedman y Francisco Martín Valentín está excavando la tumba de un hombre muy poderoso durante el reinado de Amenhotep III. ¿Está la clave de la corregencia entre Amenhotep III y su hijo Ajenatón documentada en la tumba del Visir Huy? La segunda parte continúa aclarando el misterio de Huy pero no se queda ahí. Recorre parte de la historia de Tutankamón y su descubrimiento y entra de lleno en el episodio de Amarna, uno de los más singulares de la historia de Egipto.

In the 1880s an archive of clay tablets was discovered in Amarna Egypt. These tablets contain interesting correspondence from the kings of Canaan that were paying tribute to the pharoah in Egypt, and they take place during the early time of when the Israelites were conquering the promised land. Henry Smith discusses the contents of these letters with Dr Scott Stripling, archaeoligist and director of excavations at the dig at Shiloh, Israel.

Cien años después del hallazgo de su tumba, la arqueóloga Yasmin El Shazly y el fotógrafo Mahmoud Rashad tratan de responder a las principales incógnitas sobre la vida y la muerte del más célebre de los faraones del antiguo Egipto. ¿Por qué murió tan joven? ¿Quiénes fueron sus partidarios y quiénes sus detractores? ¿Fue Nefertiti su madre? ¿Cómo era la persona detrás del gobernante? Para encontrar respuestas los dos investigadores inician un viaje desde el Valle de los Reyes donde el arqueólogo británico Howard Carter descubrió hace un siglo la tumba intacta del joven rey pasando por El Cairo donde se exhiben numerosos objetos de su ajuar funerario hasta la ciudad de Amarna, donde probablemente nació o la localidad de Saqqara donde encuentran pistas sobre la identidad de la madre de Tutankamón.

O tema deste podcast é “A arte em Amarna” com a professora e doutora em História Antiga, Liliane Cristina Coelho. A partir das representações artísticas presentes na cidade criada por Akhenaton, esta entrevista pretende demonstrar como a organização urbana foi pensada como um grande templo, além de conversar sobre a paisagem sagrada, as estelas de fronteira, as cenas da tumba real e também comentar sobre o ateliê do artista Tothmés, onde o famoso busto da rainha Nefertiti foi elaborado.

This week Danielle brings the style with the 2019 sci-fi film Paradise Hills. Meet Uma (Emma Roberts), someone who wears a metal cage on her face for her wedding veil and sings creepy songs to her new husband for a toast. But to become this perfect bride, some months ago she was shipped off to an island reform school for headstrong upper class ladies (Uppers) called Paradise Hills. There she meets the very odd head of the school known as The Duchess (Milla Jovovich) and immediately starts just telling her all about her life and secret lovers even though she doesn't trust anyone there. She also meets fellow "students" Chloe (Danielle Macdonald), Yu (Awkwafina), and famous singer Amarna (Eiza González), and despite their strong desire to escape one night, they all fall asleep instead and never speak of it again. Uma spends her weeks on the island wandering among the many rose gardens, eating meals of two asparagus and a glass of milk, and engaging in therapy with The Duchess. Eventually, Amarna graduates and is sent off the Island, and the next that Uma sees of her on TV Amarna seems to be a completely different person; spooky. Sam grows increasingly exasperated with a movie that seems more interested in making weird looking scenes than in making sense. To wit, one day Uma is strapped to a carousel horse and lifted high in the air and then shown a looping video of her arranged fiancé—whom she does not like—proclaiming how awesome he is for hours on end. Why this is done is utterly baffling, and made only more so when the movie's big twist is revealed. Well, one of the big twists, because the ending is so totally bonkers it nearly breaks Sam. So join us for a movie that's fun to watch and pretty to look at, but is perhaps the most-nonsensical media we've covered this year.

Amarna Tales (Part 1). East of Akhet-Aten (Amarna), a walled-village hides among the hills. This "East Village" is a well-ordered, secluded community. It seems to be the new home of pharaoh's tomb builders. Originally, they lived at Deir el-Medina in west Luxor. But when Akhenaten founded his new royal city, the tomb-builders left their homes and came here. Today, archaeologists have uncovered a vast amount of material. Homes, animal pens, chapels, and countless artefacts shed light on daily life and family organisation in ancient Egypt. From homes to chapels, guard-houses to water depots, the East Village offers fantastic insights. It even includes traces of Tutankhamun, before he abandoned Amarna...Episode details:Date: c.1355 - 1340 BCE.Location: Akhet-Aten (el-Amarna).Kings: Akhenaten, Neferneferuaten, Tutankhaten/Tutankhamun.Logo image: A battle standard or soldier's emblem, with a sigil of Wepwawet (Kemp 2012).Music by Keith Zizza www.keithzizza.net.Music by Bettina Joy de Guzman www.bettinajoydeguzman.com.Music interludes by Luke Chaos https://twitter.com/Luke_Chaos.Bibliography:Read reports on the East Village and other aspects of Amarna's archaeology free, at The Amarna Project.M.

Episode Summary: Arguably one of the greatest textual discoveries from the Ancient Near East, the Amarna Letters provide an unparalleled window into the period of international relations in the Late Bronze Age. Co-hosts Chris McKinny and Mary Buck discuss the discovery of these texts, and work through a selection of letters that showcase how great and lesser kings of the period interacted.  Series: STANE - “Special” Texts of the Ancient Near East.
