	Egypt (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Egypt is the land of the Nile and the pyramids.
		The Fayyum was rescued for agriculture by the kings of the Twelfth Dynasty; and two obelisks were erected in front of the temple of the sun-god at On or Heliopolis (near Cairo), one of which is still standing.
		One of the later kings of the dynasty, Amenophis IV., or Khu-n-Aten, endeavoured to supplant the ancient state religion of Egypt by a new faith derived from Asia, which was a sort of pantheistic monotheism, the one supreme god being adored under the image of the solar disk.

		The documents are dated to the end of the 6th Dynasty, which indicates that the cult for the deceased Neferirkare at least lasted until the end of the Old Kingdom.
		Niuserre was the second son of Neferirkare and Khentkaus II to have ascended to the throne.

	History of Ancient Egypt - Crystalinks
		In ancient Egypt, the narrow strip of fertile land which runs alongside the Nile was called Kemet ("the fl land", in Ancient Egyptian Kmt), a reference to the rich, fl silt that is deposited there every year by the Nile floodwaters.
		One popular and convincing theory is that the peasant farmers of Egypt built all of the temples and monuments during the floods.
		Egypt has long had ties with Libya, and the first king of the new dynasty, Shoshenq I, was a Meshwesh Libyan, who served as the commander of the armies under the last ruler of the Twenty-First Dynasty, Psusennes II.

	Egypt: History - Pharaonic Dynasty I
		Egypt's 1st Dynasty saw the emergence of a unified land stretching from the Delta to the first cataract at Aswan, a distance of over one thousand kilometers along the Nile Valley.
		On the other hand, if for the fifth king Petrie's Den is here preferred to Sethe's widely accepted Udimu (Den) meaning 'the water-pourer', it is because this is highly speculative and it seemed better to retain their usual values for the two alphabetic signs with which the name is written.
		But the Horus Den, the fifth king of Egypt's 1st Dynasty,, was also prominent upon the jar-sealings, which mention too a 'seal-bearer of the King of Lower Egypt' with a name compounded with that of the goddess Neith.

		During the 22nd through 26th dynasties, the cities of Athribis and Heliopolis were under the control of a hereditary princedom, nominally subservient to the Pharaohs.
		Egypt was an Augustan province so the governors were appointed directly by the Emperor rather than by the traditional Senatorial lottery.
		Because of the importance of Egypt as the Empire's breadbasket, by law the governor of Egypt could not be of the Senatorial class (it was feared that consolidating too much power in a Senator invited revolt).

	Phoenicians in Egypt
		There are numerous instances within Egypt of hieroglyphs being used wrongly and it is possible that the use of hieroglyphs had developed amuletic properties regardless of their role as a script.
		During the predynastic era in Egypt ivory had been used to produce a large number of "powerfacts" (Hoffman 1980: 316), "objects with symbolic linkages to the ideal role and personification of kingship", and the material was used instead of what appear to be more valuable materials (Hoffman 1908, Spencer 1993).
		Petrie said, after his excavations in northern Egypt during 1890-91, that a "profound separation existed between the 22nd Dynasty and all that was previous, and that the new men of the Delta must have obtained their habits from a fresh source" (Petrie 1974b).

	Egypt: History - Pharaonic Dynasty V (Fifth Dynasty)
		Whatever the origin of the Fifth Dynasty, there can be no doubt as to its changed and highly individual character.
		This picture of ships reminds us that the sole references in the fragments of the Palermo Stone to any secular undertakings of the Dynasty V Pharaohs are two which record voyages to Sinai in quest of its turquoise and to Pwene, the source of incense and various spices.
		With the approach of Dynasty V such records, both pictorial and written, greatly increase in number, evidence it would seem of a growing realization that for all the Pharaoh's claims to be a divinity, he was in fact only a man not so far exalted above the heads of his nobles.

		Userkaf is generally regarded as the first king of the fifth dynasty of Egypt.
		The only historical informatino we have about Userkaf is from the dubious writings of Manetho, the Egyptian priest who wrote a summary of the kings and dynasties of Egypt in the first century BC, after the pharaohs had yielded their throne to the Greek rulers who followed Alexander.
		This states: "The fifth dynasty was composed of eight Kings of Elephantine" and then lists the kings and their lengths of reign.

		For the next three thous and years, Egypt was to remain a major cultural-and often military-power.
		Egypt was always very interested in Nubia, especially as a source of trade, both for local products, such as gold, and for goods, such as ivory, brought from farther south.

		Although some of the Nubian rulers of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty are not well known, Piye's son Taharqa (690-664 b.c.) stands out in the archaeological and historical records of the time.

		Of particular interest is the mention of 'wives of the princess of Lower Egypt' and of 'children of the princes of the Tjehnu' whom he transported thither as temple-servants, since this seems to imply victories over the mainly Libyan rival princes in the Delta.
		It had long become clear that a decision between the equally pernicious Assyrian and Ethiopian rulers would have to be reached, but in point of fact there was a third party to the dispute and it was with this that the ultimate victory was destined to lie.
		As in the time of Pi'ankhy Lower Egypt and a part of Middle Egypt had disintegrated into a number of petty princedoms always ready to side with whichever of the two great powers would be the more likely to leave them their independence.

		There are historical details about the land, its culture, myths, gods, etc. The book also has wonderful images of many of the artifacts found in tombs during excavations, as well as detailed accounts of some of the gods and goddesses and their lives and influences on society.

	Sun Temples of Egypt - Niuserre's Sun Temple and other Fifth Dynasty Pharaohs
		The Sun Temples were built by the Fifth Dynasty Pharaohs, in addition to the traditional burial Pyramid or mastaba.
		Toward the end of the Dynasty the cults of Ptah and Osirus began to intrude on the cult of Re, which may explain why this form of monumental building ceased.
		However, there is much to be said for the difficulty of mustering the funds for completing both a pyramid and a sun temple, especially if the reign was short or economic times were difficult.

	Isis
		First mentions of Isis date back to the Fifth dynasty of Egypt which is when the first literary inscriptions are found, but her cult became prominent late in Egyptian history, when it began to absorb the cults of many other goddesses.
		It eventually spread outside Egypt throughout the Middle East and Europe, with temples dedicated to her built as far away as the British Isles.
		At Philae her worship persisted until the 6th century, long after the wide acceptance of Christianity- this was the last of the ancient Egyptian temples to be closed, and its fall is generally accepted to mark the end of ancient Egypt.
