Alexander Henry Rhind
Alexander Henry Rhind (; 26 July 1833 – 3 July 1863) was a Scottish antiquarian and archaeologist. Biography Born in Wick on 26 July 1833 in the Scottish Highlands, Rhind studied at the University of Edinburgh. He has often been erroneously referred to as a lawyer, but he never actually studied law. Rhind excavated and published a number of prehistoric sites in northern Scotland in the early 1850s, and donated the finds to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (now in National Museums Scotland). Suffering from pulmonary disease, he travelled to Egypt in the winters of 1855–1857 with the intention of excavating and collecting for the newly formed National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland. He collected material for his book entitled ''"Thebes, its Tombs and their Tenants"'', which was published in 1862. He was a prolific writer with a methodical research style, despite continuing to battle ill health. Among the items that he collected was the Rhind Papyrus, also known a ...

Pharaoh
Pharaoh (, ; Egyptian: ''pr ꜥꜣ''; cop, , Pǝrro; Biblical Hebrew: ''Parʿō'') is the vernacular term often used by modern authors for the kings of ancient Egypt who ruled as monarchs from the First Dynasty (c. 3150 BC) until the annexation of Egypt by the Roman Empire in 30 BC. However, regardless of gender, "king" was the term used most frequently by the ancient Egyptians for their monarchs through the middle of the Eighteenth Dynasty during the New Kingdom. The term "pharaoh" was not used contemporaneously for a ruler until a possible reference to Merneptah, c. 1210 BC during the Nineteenth Dynasty, nor consistently used until the decline and instability that began with the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty. In the early dynasties, ancient Egyptian kings had as many as three titles: the Horus, the Sedge and Bee ( ''nswt-bjtj''), and the Two Ladies or Nebty ( ''nbtj'') name. The Golden Horus and the nomen and prenomen titles were added later. In Egyptian society, religio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amenhotep III
Amenhotep III ( egy, jmn-ḥtp(.w), ''Amānəḥūtpū'' , "Amun is Satisfied"; Hellenized as Amenophis III), also known as Amenhotep the Magnificent or Amenhotep the Great, was the ninth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. According to different authors, he ruled Egypt from June 1386 to 1349 BC, or from June 1388 BC to December 1351 BC/1350 BC, after his father Thutmose IV died. Amenhotep was Thutmose's son by a minor wife, Mutemwiya. His reign was a period of unprecedented prosperity and splendour, when Egypt reached the peak of its artistic and international power. When he died in the 38th or 39th year of his reign he was succeeded by his son Amenhotep IV, who later changed his name to Akhenaten. Family and early life Amenhotep was the son of Thutmose IV and his minor wife Mutemwiya. He was born probably around 1401 BC. Later in his life, Amenhotep commissioned the depiction of his divine birth to be displayed at Luxor Temple. Amenhotep claimed that his true father was the g ...

Psusennes I
Psusennes I ( egy, pꜣ-sbꜣ-ḫꜥ-n-njwt; Greek Ψουσέννης) was the third pharaoh of the 21st Dynasty who ruled from Tanis between 1047 and 1001 BC. ''Psusennes'' is the Greek version of his original name Pasibkhanu or Pasebakhaenniut (in reconstructed Late Egyptian: /pəsiwʃeʕənneːʔə/), which means "The Star Appearing in the City" while his throne name, Akheperre Setepenamun, translates as "Great are the Manifestations of Ra, chosen of Amun." He was the son of Pinedjem I and Henuttawy, Ramesses XI's daughter by Tentamun. He married his sister Mutnedjmet. Reign Psusennes I's precise reign length is unknown because different copies of Manetho's records credit him with a reign of either 41 or 46 years. Some Egyptologists have proposed raising the 41 year figure by a decade to 51 years to more closely match certain anonymous Year 48 and Year 49 dates in Upper Egypt. However, the German Egyptologist Karl Jansen-Winkeln has suggested that all these dates should be a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nebetia
Nebetia was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty. She was the granddaughter of Pharaoh Thutmose IV and the daughter of Prince Siatum. She is one of the few examples of a pharaoh's granddaughter bearing the title of ''King's Daughter'' – the ancient Egyptian equivalent of "princess" – which normally belonged only to women whose fathers actually ruled. The mummy-label, which states her title and the name of her father is one of only two sources Siatum's existence. The label was found in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache. Nebetia's mummy – along with several others – had been reburied during the 21st Dynasty The Twenty-first Dynasty of Egypt (notated Dynasty XXI, alternatively 21st Dynasty or Dynasty 21) is usually classified as the first Dynasty of the Ancient Egyptian Third Intermediate Period, lasting from 1077 BC to 943 BC.

Tiaa (princess)
Tiaa was an Ancient Egyptian princess of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, 18th Dynasty. She was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose IV, she was named after her paternal grandmother Tiaa. It is likely that she is the princess shown in the tomb of Sobekhotep (New Kingdom treasurer), Sobekhotep (TT63), whose wife Meryt was her nurse. Canopic jars that probably belong to her were found in the Valley of the Queens. She died during the reign of her brother Amenhotep III. Her original burial place is not known. Her mummy was reburied during the Twenty-first Dynasty of Egypt, 21st Dynasty in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache, along with the mummies of several other royal princesses: Amenemopet (princess), Amenemopet and Petepihu, who were probably her sisters; Nebetia, her niece, and princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Meritptah, Sithori and Wiay. Her mummy label identifies her as ''King's Daughter of Menkheperure.''Fletcher, p.145 The tomb was discovered in 1857. Sources {{DEFAULTSORT:Tiaa Prin ...

Tuthmosis IV
Thutmose IV (sometimes read as Thutmosis or Tuthmosis IV, Thothmes in older history works in Latinized Greek; egy, ḏḥwti.msi(.w) "Thoth is born") was the 8th Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled in approximately the 14th century BC. His prenomen or royal name, Menkheperure, means "Established in forms is Re." He was the son of Amenhotep II and Tiaa. Life Thutmose IV was born to Amenhotep II and Tiaa, but was not actually the crown prince and Amenhotep II's chosen successor to the throne. Some scholars speculate that Thutmose ousted his older brother in order to usurp power and then commissioned the Dream Stele in order to justify his unexpected kingship. Thutmose's most celebrated accomplishment was the restoration of the Great Sphinx of Giza and subsequent commission of the Dream Stele. According to Thutmose's account on the Dream Stele, while the young prince was out on a hunting trip, he stopped to rest under the head of the Sphinx, which was buried up to th ...

Amenemopet (princess)
Amenemopet was an ancient Egyptian princess (''king's daughter'') during the 18th Dynasty, probably a daughter of Thutmose IV., p. 137 She is shown sitting upon the knees of her tutor Horemheb, in his Theban tomb (TT78). Horemheb (not identical with the pharaoh of the same name) served under the reigns of Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III, so the princess could have been the daughter of any of these pharaohs, but Thutmose is the most likely. She died during the reign of Amenhotep III. Later, her mummy was reburied in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cache along with that of several other princesses: her probable sisters Tiaa The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA, formerly TIAA-CREF), is a Fortune 100 financial services organization that is the leading provider of financial services in the academic, research, ... and Petepihu; her niece Nebetia and Princesses Tatau, Henutiunu, Merytptah, Sithori and Wiay.

Theban Tombs
The Theban Necropolis is located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Luxor, in Egypt. As well as the more famous royal tombs located in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, there are numerous other tombs, more commonly referred to as Tombs of the Nobles (Luxor), the burial places of some of the powerful courtiers and persons of the ancient city. There are at least 415 cataloged tombs, designated TT for Theban Tomb. There are other tombs whose position has been lost, or for some other reason do not conform to this classification. See for instance the List of MMA Tombs. Theban tombs tended to have clay funerary cones placed over the entrance of the tomb chapels. During the New Kingdom they were inscribed with the title and name of the tomb owner, sometimes with short prayers. Of the 400 recorded sets of cones, only about 80 come from cataloged tombs. The numbering system was first published Arthur Weigall's 1908 ''Report on the Tombs of Shêkh Abd’ el Gûrneh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
