Pre-Historic Palette-Naqada III culture. "Special articles"

Pre-Historic Palette-Naqada III culture. "Special articles"

It can be a unique experience for those who are fortunate for being familiar with Egypt Pre-Historic cultures" 6000-3000 B.C", and once they become able to observe it a lot more detailed. The collections of Pre-Historic cultures that are kept in the Egyptian Museum, the British Museum, the Louvre Museum and the others which include very informative and descriptive palettes and tablets refer much to that deeply antique époque. A lot of these tablets were commemoratives and created in record of a victory after a civil war or after a war with other nations such as the commemorative mace cover that describes the unification trial of the Scorpion king "4000 B.C" or the Libyan tablet which depicts an Egyptian defeat to the Tehno Libyan tribes. The pre-historic slate tablet represents the unstable status of Egypt during Naqada III "4000 B.C" and a civil war that was between Naqada culture or Upper-Egypt and northerners of Lower-Egypt. The upper part of the tablet represents captives are bound in poles with stylized arms that grasp each of the captives and in a shape of a war adze. Also we observe carrion-birds that stand still on each pole which emphasize a traditional technique of torture or punishment and that what could have inspired the ancients with the first crucifixion. Also we see the circle that is often found on pre historic tablets and next to that a carving of a high ranking captive is led by elegantly dressed man with a sophisticate rope that has fringes and ornaments. We can observe the high quality of the outfit and the quality of the metal or the stone in each of the war adzes. Generally, carvings represent a busy battle field with corpses of dead soldiers all are bearded with northern appearance similarly to those who were represented in Narmers palette "3200 B.C" and with many carrion-birds around such as vultures and crows. Also a carving of a lion that fierce eats a corpse.

NULLS AND CROSSES

Most of ancient Egyptian temples have on its floor remains and hand carving of games the ancients had known. The forecourts and the areas before the temples gate or Pylons were often left for locals use or for some to wait for a provided service, there ,they practiced some of their traditional games such as what is recently called the Nulls and Crosses. The intellectuals in Ancient Egypt had their own style of games such the Senet which was the first known chess ever and the first form of the traditional game is known as Snakes and Ladders.

The ancient Egyptian artist had known the use of templates and stencils in most of his carvings and wall inscriptions. That technique was beyond the precision and accuracy in every text goes back to ancient Egypt. Whoever the template-use can count reliable, faults and human-errors can evolve. The first example is from Wady Elseboua temple which is about 1200 BC and it is from a wall-inscription. That inscription was pressed on wet blaster and seems the work was done in rush as it resulted dropping some part of the text, the artist forgot to add goddess Isis title "great" then he did over-lab some of the text. .

Cairo Museum. King Snefru stays in the shadow.

It called my full attention a week ago in Cairo museum garden seeing a slab in fine limestone with a text and a fine carving for king Snefru the founder of the fourth dynasty neglected in a shadowy corner of the museums garden. King Snefru ruled Egypt around 2575 B.C and built the two famous pyramids" the bent and the red" in Dahshur, south-west of Giza. This carving represents him, his titles and his cartouche under the protection of the Falcon –god Horus. Copyrig ©Musegypt

Cairo museum, Seth since the beginning.

Cairo museum, Seth since the beginning .

We have enough evidence that Seth cult goes back to the beginning. Seth, the god and the force of chaos , disorder, confusion, dark and evil seems to be much older and stronger than his rivals in the Nile Delta. The Egyptian museum keeps at the moment the most recent finds of the excavations in the Nile-Delta which includes a terra cotta pot dates back to the Pre-dynastic era, about 4000 BC. That pot was discovered in Tal El Farkha "mound of the bird" the tiny hand carvings represent Seth in his traditional animal shape. Copyrig ©Musegypt

An unknown Cartouche



This cartouche is for Ptolemy the Neo- Dionysus " most probably for Ptolemy 11th" about 90 BC. The Hieroglyphic title of that Ptolemy reads "he who go forth while been drunk" or the drunken. This picture came from the entrance of the great temple of Horus "the falcon-god" in Edfu. Ptolemy the Neo- Dionysus had finished a lot of the Egyptian temples. Copyrig ©Musegypt

Mr and Mrs. Mort tlock have sent me this picture willing to know from where it came and what does it tell?

The picture was taken from the Dendara temple,birth-chapel of Trojan. The carving contains a text and a cartouche that belong to the Roman Emperor Trojan. The cartouche is an oval frame that isolates the royal name from the rest of the inscription. Copyrig ©Musegypt

August-2008. Heliopolis, a huge temple and a massive statue both for king Ramsess II were discovered in Un city " modern Heliopolis" by an Egyptian delegation under the auspices of the supreme council of antiquities. Also a foundation for a cenotaph in side the same temple which reinforces the idea of following that tradition in early Egyptian temples as it was traditional with Tanis temples. The Egyptian delegation discovered a stone-head for god Khepri the scarab-god and a statute for the cat-goddess " Bastet" from EL Akhbar-newspaper.

"Un" also was the largest university and the oldest ever and it is believed that the title universe and university were driven from "Un". Un dates back to the pre-dynastic"6000-4000 B.C" Also Un was quite famous of its genius mathematicians who thought the whole universe the principles of the mathematics and the geometrics. Only I wish inform you that Pythagoras was one of its students" please read my article about the Rhind mathematical papyrus" Copyrig ©Musegypt
