Topic: Amenemope


  
  The Papyrus Anastasi
Hori accuses Amenemope's writing of being rambling and inconsistent, and accuses his compatriot of having employed several assistants with different and mutually exclusive agendas in the composition of the letter.
Amenemope replies with a letter composed in the proper fashion, that is, without assistants and in a well-worded, courteous style (Gardiner 1964: 8-12).
In sections X and XI, Amenemope challenges Hori and claims his superiority, in response to which, Hori decides to test Amenemope's abilities to see who is the better scribe of the two (Gardiner 1964: 15-16).

Amenemope the owner of TT148 was the third prophet of Amun, son of Tjanefer, and served under Rameses III – Ramses V. the decoration of the tomb was not completed before the reign of Ramses V
Amenemope was the Third prophet of Amun under Rameses V and may well have been involved in the construction of these and would have had the opportunity to use the material for his own tomb structure.
The robberies were in Y13 of Ram XI and Amenemope died during the reign of Rameses V but his son and daughter would have still been alive and important enough to insist that these desecrated family members were properly reburied in the family tomb of their father.

 Comparing Mummy Dockets and Their Chronological Value
Looking back from the time of Amenemope `Year 49' could also look back at some event like the devastation brought upon Egypt in 525 BC by Cambyses, the start of the building of the Suez Canal by Darius II in 517 BC or the start of the vassalage of Egypt under Arsames about 470 BC.
We believe that the reason for Amenemope to have been active after Psusennes is indeed very `slight', may be not so at all as the following account shows.
Since Amenemope became active as a young man in about 458 BC possibly at the age of 18, he was born in 476 BC.

 "Slippery Treasures" in the Book of Mormon: A Concept from the Ancient World - Maxwell Institute Insights
One example comes from the Instructions of Amenemope, an Egyptian text dating to between the 11th and 13th centuries B.C. and believed by many to have been the source for a portion of the biblical book of Proverbs.
It seems more than coincidental—yet not surprising—that the concept of slippery, disappearing treasures is found both in an Egyptian text known to the ancient Israelites and in the Book of Mormon, a record with cultural, linguistic, and literary roots in the ancient Near East.
The translations of Proverbs and the Instructions of Amenemope are from Karel van der Toorn, "Did Ecclesiastes Copy Gilgamesh?" Bible Review, February 2000, 28.

 Britton Christian Church » Zealous For What?Proverbs 23:17-24:1
The structural model for this collection, ‘Do I not write for you thirty sayings?’ derives from the last chapter of Amenemope (27:6): ‘Look to these thirty chapters.’ In Egypt, and we should probably assume the same about this collection, the holy number ‘thirty’ symbolizes a complete and perfect teaching.
Incline thine ears to hear my sayings, and apply thine heart to their comprehension, for it is a profitable thing to put them in thy heart.

 Distrust in Dependence: The Ancient Challenge of Superior-Subordinate Relations
Amenemope was, Pharaoh's Superintendent of Cereals, and he addressed his Instruction to his son, explaining that someone who followed its advice would be worthy to serve as an aide to Pharaoh (Footnote 6).
He emphasized the desirability of being "cool-headed" rather than "hot-headed." Cool-headed seems to denote a composite of considerate, slow to anger, temperate, socially concerned, thoughtful of others, and honest; whereas hot-headed appears to mean a composite of impetuous, quick to anger, rude, selfish, dishonest, and treacherous.
These excerpts from the Instruction of Amenemope are based on translations made by Faulkner, Wente, and Simpson (1972) and Griffith (1926).

sn This seventh saying warns people not to expend all their energy trying to get rich because riches are fleeting (see Amenemope, chapter 7, 9:10-11; it says, “they have made themselves wings like geese and have flown away to heaven”).
Amenemope uses “blocking the throat” in a similar saying (chapter 11, 14:7).
The suggested change is plausible; but the rare verb “to calculate” in the cryptic MT would be easier to defend on the basis of the canons of textual criticism.

The influence of Amenemope was mediated through scribal education in the capital city of Jerusalem.”43 In precise language, Amenemope called “upon the scribe to be both accurate and honest in his work.
The scribe’s finger [was] not a finger only, but the beak of the [deity, Djehuty], the great divine scribe who presided over the weighing of the deeds and hearts of men [and women].”44 Overall, the wisdom of Amenemope is timeless: “Better is bread when the mind is at ease than riches with anxiety.

 Egypt: History - Dynasty XII (Twenty-first Dynasty)
To be buried in the Biban el-Moluk was no longer an aspiration, and Montet's excavations at Tanis have brought to light in that place the tombs of Psusennes I and of Amenemope, the second and third monarchs of the dynasty, if the probably ephemeral Neferkare' be ignored.
It cannot be doubted that there were ties of marriage and friendship between the two capitals which made their co-existence natural and perhaps even necessary.
On the other hand a mislaid piece of linen reported by Daressy named according to him a year 49 of Amenemope, but this is extremely improbable, since the tomb at Tanis in which his mummy originally lay is of the humblest description, in no way comparable to that of Psusennes I, its next-door neighbor.
