In November of 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter discovered an ancient Egyptian royal tomb, the first ever to be found in tact. It belonged to a little known pharaoh named Tutankhamun. This discovery stands as one of the most amazing archaeological finds of all time. But who was Tutankhamun and why was his richly furnished tomb so hidden and so small?

M51 Capitulo 4 - Akhenatón Egipto y sus Misterios. Bajo el sol incandescente de Amarna, Akhenatón alzó su culto al disco solar, rompiendo millenios de tradición faraónica. Sus templos etéreos y estatuas de rasgos andróginos susurran enigmas sobre fe, poder y una herejía divina. Entre palacios de adobe y altares dorados, el rey “Aquel que es útil a Atón” dejó escritos crípticos y grafitis sagrados. Capítulo 4 de M51 desvela estas huellas milenarias, donde la luz del sol y el misterio se funden en un eco eterno.

We are returning to Ancient Egypt tonight, with an episode filled with mysteries. The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, by the archaeologist Howard Carter, captivated audiences around the world and represented a major find for egyptology. I will tell you about the tomb and some of the many artifacts discovered still intact when the chamber was opened in 1923, and also discuss the rumors of a supposed "curse of the pharaohs". Is there anything to it? Tutankhamun's predecessor on the throne of Egypt was a singular figure in the long list of Egyptian pharaohs: Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, the "heretic pharaoh". Together with his queen, Nefertiti, Akhenaten promoted the cult of a new supreme god, Aten, and founded a new capital, Akhetaten. Akhetaten (now known as Amarna) was supposed to replace Thebes and mark the beginning of a new golden age for Egypt. But when Amenhotep/Akhenaten died in 1346 BC, the city was abandoned shortly after, partially destroyed, and the old religious order was restored. We will explore this chapter of Egyptian history too and talk about the ruins of Amarna, which are now an extensive ancient Egyptian archeological site.

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. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it. https://historyarthistory.gmu.edu/people/jwilli98 Follow @thatanthropodcast on Instagram for more content! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gabby-campbell1/support

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. Join me for this episode and find out what the heck the UN flag and WWII have to do with this story, its kind of crazy, but all the best stories are, XO Kalen Me: https://instagram.com/strange_neighborhood_podcast
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. And spoiler alert, Dr. Stripling has a new theory about a connection to Shiloh that might be mentioned in the Amarna Letters.

¿Quién fue Tutankamón? 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.

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.
