In Episode 6, we will be talking to Seth Richardson about Amnon Altman's article “Tracing the Earliest Recorded Concepts of International Law. The Early Dynastic Period in Southern Mesopotamia”, published in JHIL 6(2) (2004), 153 -172. Join us, as we talk to Seth about the role of law in early Mesopotamia, the Code of Hammurabi and why international relations, and by extension international law, might not be the most appropriate but a rather unconventional way to understand early interstate relations.  Guest:Dr. Seth Richardson, Lecturer and Associate Researcher at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (University of Chicago). https://isac.uchicago.edu/research/individual-scholarship/richardson  Hosts:Dr. Raphael Schäfer - https://www.mpil.de/de/pub/institut/personen/wissenschaftlicher-bereich/rschaefe.cfm Sylvia Wu – Part of JHIL's student assistant team with Amaya Gandy Music: Serge Quadrado Music – Cinematic JazzLesFM – Acoustic Guitar Indie Background Music for VideosSamuelFrancisJohnson – Lifting GuitarMr Pleasure – BurnishedBronze Find us on Social Media: https://linktr.ee/jhil_rhdi

This week I am sharing a private channeling session from last year with the underworld God of ancient Egypt, Anubis. Anubis was a jackal-headed god in ancient Egyptian religion, associated with the afterlife, death, and the protection of the dead. Here's a breakdown of his role and how he was worshipped: Role and Responsibilities: Guardian of the Dead: Anubis was primarily seen as the protector of the deceased. He watched over them as they journeyed to the afterlife. Embalming and Mummification: In some myths, Anubis was credited with inventing the mummification process, a crucial step in preserving bodies for the afterlife. Weighing of the Heart: A central belief in Egyptian mythology involved the weighing of the heart against the feather of Ma'at (truth) in the Hall of Two Truths. Anubis was often depicted overseeing this ceremony, ensuring fairness. Guide and Conductor: Anubis was sometimes seen as a guide, leading the deceased through the underworld and towards Osiris, the god of the underworld. Worship and Depictions: Appearance: Anubis was most commonly depicted as a black jackal or a man with the head of a black jackal. Black was associated with rebirth and the fertile Nile River. Offerings: Egyptians made offerings to Anubis, often in the form of food, drink, or prayers, to ensure the safe passage of their loved ones into the afterlife. Cult Centers: While Anubis was worshipped throughout Egypt, his cult center was particularly prominent in the city of Cynopolis (modern-day El-Bahnasa). Hymns and Prayers: Prayers and hymns were dedicated to Anubis, seeking his protection and guidance for the deceased. Shifting Importance: Early Dynasties: In the Early Dynastic Period and Old Kingdom (c. 3100-2100 BCE), Anubis held a prominent position as the primary god of the dead. Later Developments: With the rise of Osiris as the central god of the underworld, Anubis' role shifted to that of an assistant and facilitator in the afterlife journey. Anubis' legacy endures as a symbol of death, transformation, and the hope for a peaceful afterlife. 

In this episode, we look into the 1981 B-Movie Dawn of the Mummy. Is it historically accurate? Does it even care about history? Is it a good or a bad film? Or is it so bad that it is good.

Find out more here → https://www.themedievalmagazine.com/ The Early Dynastic Period of Mesopotamia is the modern-day archaeological term for the era in Mesopotamian history – 2900-2334 BCE – during which some of the most significant cultural advances were made including the rise of the cities, the development of writing, and the establishment of governments. This era was preceded by the Uruk Period (4100-2900 BCE) when the first cities were established in the region of Sumer (southern Mesopotamia) and succeeded by the Akkadian Period (2334-2218 BCE) when Mesopotamia was conquered by Sargon of Akkad (r. 2334-2279 BCE) and ruled by him and his successors as the Akkadian Empire.

The larger region around Kush (later referred to as Nubia) was inhabited c. 8,000 BCE but the Kingdom of Kush rose much later. The Kerma Culture, so named after the city of Kerma in the region, is attested as early as 2500 BCE and archaeological evidence from Sudan and Egypt show that Egyptians and the people of Kush region were in contact from the Early Dynastic Period in Egypt (c. 3150 - c. 2613 BCE) onwards. The later civilization defined as 'Kushite' probably evolved from this earlier culture but was heavily influenced by the Egyptians.

Ancient Egyptian Writing, written by Joshua J. Mark and narrated by Nitin Sil: https://www.ancient.eu/Egyptian_Writing/ If you like our audio articles, please support us by becoming a member or donating to our non-profit company: - www.ancient.eu/membership/ - www.ancient.eu/donate/ - www.patreon.com/ahe Nitin Sil also has a Youtube channel on history: - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Ancient Egyptian writing is known as hieroglyphics ('sacred carvings') and developed at some point prior to the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150 -2613 BCE). According to some scholars, the concept of the written word was first developed in Mesopotamia and came to Egypt through trade. While there certainly was cross-cultural exchange between the two regions, Egyptian hieroglyphics are completely Egyptian in origin; there is no evidence of early writings which describe non-Egyptian concepts, places, or objects, and early Egyptian pictographs have no correlation to early Mesopotamian signs. The designation 'hieroglyphics' is a Greek word; the Egyptians referred to their writing as medu-netjer, 'the god's words,' as they believed writing had been given to them by the great god Thoth.

Is Ancient Egyptian art truly unchanging for thousands of years? Were the Egyptians just stuck in the mud or what? No and no! The Top 10 Ancient Egyptian Myths and Misconceptions continues with an examination of broad changes to Egyptian art across the history of their civilization. We go from the Early Dynastic Period through the Old and Middle Kingdoms up to the New Kingdom and beyond exploring stylistic and thematic variation that's deeply entrenched in Ancient Egypt's cultural evolution. In this episode, we look closely at the Narmer Palette, relief decoration at Karnak Temple, and a plethora of works from the Art Institute of Chicago. Explore more at http://ancientartpodcast.org.

The sacred city of Abydos served as the primary cult center of the Egyptian god Osiris, the ruler of the netherworld. The immense religious importance of this site is evident in its rich archaeological remains, which cover all phases of Egyptian civilization. Archaeologists will discuss their excavations at sites dating from the Early Dynastic Period (3000-2686 BCE) through the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BCE). Since 1967, the University of Pennsylvania-Yale-IFA Expedition to Abydos has conducted excavations to investigate the complex history and development of this important site.
