Egypt (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net Solomon married the daughter of one of the last kings of the Twenty-first Dynasty, which was overthrown by Shishak I., the general of the Libyan mercenaries, who founded the Twenty-second Dynasty (1 Kings 11:40; 14:25,26). 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 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. christiananswers.net /dictionary/egypt.html   (1561 words)

CHEOPS - LoveToKnow Article on CHEOPS The funerary cult of Khufu and Khafre was practised under the twenty-sixth dynasty, when so much that had fallen into disuse and been forgotten was revived. He was the founder of the fourth dynasty, and was probably born ip Middle Egypt near Beni Hasan, in a town afterwards known as Khufus Nurse, but was connected with the Memphite third dynasty. In late times the priests of Denderah claimed Khufu as a benefactor; he was reputed to have built temples to the gods near the Great Pyramids and Sphinx (where also a pyramid of his daughter Hentsen is spoken of), and there are incidental notices of him in the medical and religious literature. www.1911encyclopedia.org /C/CH/CHEOPS.htm   (581 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Egypt From Khafre, the second king of the fourth dynasty, to the end of the sixth dynasty, the name Re is a part of the name of almost every one of those kings, and the monuments show that during that period numerous temples were erected to the chief of the Heliopolitan Ennead in the neighbouring nomes. This is in particular the case for the Seventh and Eighth dynasties (Memphites), the Ninth and Tenth (Heracleopolites), the Eleventh (Theban -- contemporary with the Tenth), the Thirteenth (Theban) and the Fourteenth (Xoite -- in part simultaneous), the Fifteenth, and the Sixteenth (Hyksos), and the Seventeenth Dynasty (Theban -- partly contemporary with the Sixteenth. Other dynasties are known to us by their monuments, especially their tombs, which are often extremely rich in information as to the institutions, arts, manners, and customs of Egypt during the lifetime of their occupants, but almost totally devoid of historical evidence proper. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05329b.htm   (18093 words)

Current Developments in the Middle East Process In the Twenty-sixth Dynasty there was a revival of independence and prosperity, which was followed by the Persian conquest and the period from the Twenty-seventh Dynasty to the Thirtieth Dynasty inclusive was one of Persian domination, except for brief intervals when the Egyptians gained temporary independence. Of the next four Dynasties, the Twenty-second to the Twenty-fifth inclusive, very little is known, except that during part of the time the country was under the domination first by the Ethiopians and later of the Assyrians. The period from the Seventh Dynasty to the Tenth Dynasty inclusive was one of internal political conflict between the pharoanic royal families conflict and is very obscure. www.egyptian-embassy.de /downloads/Speech_Intl_day.htm   (2112 words)

Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History Ramses II (of the Nineteenth Dynasty) and Pharaoh-Necho (of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty) of the Scriptures or Necos of Herodotus are one and the same person. The so-called Twenty-first Dynasty flourished not in the twelfth-eleventh century, but in the fifth-fourth century; it was established by the Persians as a dynasty of priestly princes in the oases of the Libyan desert for strategic purposes.

Ancient Egypt He was honored by subsequent generations as the founder of a new line, the Eighteenth Dynasty, and as the initiator of a glorious chapter in Egyptian history. This dynasty's ventures into Palestine brought about an Assyrian intervention, resulting in the rejection of the Ethiopians and the reestablishment by the Assyrians of Egyptian rulers at Sais (Sa al Hajar), about eighty kilometers southeast of Alexandria (Al Iskandariyah) on the Rosetta branch of the Nile. The country was liberated from the Hyksos and unified by Ahmose (ruled 1570-1546 B.C.), the son of the last ruler of the Seventeenth Dynasty. www.shsu.edu /~his_ncp/Egypt.html   (3340 words)

Egypt: History - Dynasty XXVI (Twenty-sixth Dynasty) It is in the Saite dynasty that the ancient titles of the nobility were revived, that their sculptures and reliefs were deliberately copied from those of the Old Kingdom, and that their tombs were inscribed with extracts from the Pyramid Texts. Sixty years later, when Nitocris was an old woman, the same process renewed itself, and she was forced to accept as her future successor 'Ankhnasneferibre', the daughter of Psammetichus II and the owner of a magnificent sarcophagus now in the British Museum. It is as though the more mixed the blood of the inhabitants became the greater was the nostalgia for the Old Kingdom when the Pharaohs were true-born Egyptians and their monuments displayed a grandeur the decay of which was now all too apparent. www.touregypt.net /hdyn26.htm   (4264 words)

Department of Ancient Egypt & Sudan: This has a slightly greater perimeter than the Twenty-sixth Dynasty wall having been constructed only a few metres outside it all around the perimeter.

IRScarabs.html During the 26th Dynasty, the most popular materials were lapis for scarabs and green jasper for scaraboids. The Iron Age of Israelite history, beginning with the Israelite settlement in the land of Canaan around 1200 BCE, corresponds to the beginning of the Twentieth Egyptian Dynasty, the end of the New Kingdom. H. Hall maintains that although some scholars have said that faience scarabs were of too fragile a material to allow the possibility that they were used as seals, the Egyptians were impressing their seals upon soft wax or clay, and faience would not have been easily broken. philae.sas.upenn.edu /ANEP/students/IRScarabs.html   (1486 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Israel Under the Asmonean dynasty (135-63 B.C.) the Palestinian Jewish community gradually spread, by conquest and forcible conversion, from its narrow limits in Nehemias's time, to practically the extent of the territory of ancient Israel. He employed them on field labour (Exodus 1:14); engaged them upon the store cities of Phithom (the ruins of which, eleven or twelve miles from Ismailia, show that it was built for that monarch) and Ramesse, thus called after his name; and finally made a desperate attempt to reduce their numbers by organized infanticide. But while the Northern Kingdom was larger and more populous than the Southern, it decidedly lacked the unity and the seclusion of its rival, and was therefore the first to succumb, a comparatively easy prey to the eastern conquerors, when their victorious march brought them to the western lands. www.newadvent.org /cathen/08193a.htm   (6992 words)

History of Egypt The Sixth Dynasty kings were forced to send expeditions as far as Nubia, Libya and Palestine to put down the separatists, but these campaigns served to further erode the central authority. The Fifth Dynasty (2490-2330BC) was marked by a relative decline in Pharaonic power and wealth, evidenced by the smaller pyramids of Abu Sir built during this period. The Egyptian kings of succeeding dynasties were under continual attack by Persians until the Thirtieth and final Pharaonic dynasty was overthrown by Artaxerxes III, remaining under Persian domination until the arrival of Alexander the Great in 332BC. international.fullerton.edu /egypt/history.html   (8232 words)

Dynasty 27 - Cambyses, Darius The Great Darius was the greatest royal architect of his dynasty, and during his reign Persian architecture assumed a style that remained unchanged until the end of the empire. In reality, the Saite dynasty had all but completely collapsed, and it is likely that with Psamtek III's (Psammetichus III) capture by the Persians, Cambyses II simply took charge of the country. In the opinion of some authorities, the religious beliefs of Darius himself, as reflected in his inscriptions, show the influence of the teachings of Zoroaster, and the introduction of Zoroastrianism as the state religion of Persia is probably to be attributed to him. www.crystalinks.com /dynasty27.html   (3833 words)

Egypt and the Persians By 525 BCE, the Twenty-sixth Dynasty had lost all power and was soon invaded by the Persians.   This began the Twenty-eighth Dynasty in which Egypt was ruled by native kings with the help of Greek mercenaries.   After the Assyrians forced the Nubian pharaoh out, bringing the Twenty-fifth Dynasty to an end, Psammetichus I governed for the Assyrians. www.mnsu.edu /emuseum/prehistory/egypt/othercultures/persia.html   (423 words)

Notes on Ancient Egypt The pyramid tombs, in particular those of the Fourth Dynasty at Gizeh near Memphis, which are the most celebrated of all ancient monuments, reflect the great power and wealth of the Old Kingdom pharaohs.

The Dedication of Delphoi Since the Twenty-sixth Dynasty the priests of the Temple of Amon in Thebes tried to dominate the king though their control of the oracle of Amon that was the national oracle of Egypt consulted on matters of state. Since these interpreters were the followers of the interpreters of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty, it is likely that they had sympathy for the Egyptian national cause and, hence, even under Persian rule gave Herodotus information likely to gain the favor of the Greeks for the national cults of Egypt, which were the centers of anti-Persian resistance. Herodotus’ wording is so awkward because his Egyptian informants were loath to admit that Egypt had been subjugated by the kings of Assyria, and that the Twenty-sixth Dynasty of Sais had been established by force of Assyrian arms. www.metrum.org /measures/dedication.htm   (15487 words)
