    The paper under review, medicine and religion in ancient Egypt is by Laura Zucconi, a history professor at Richard Stockton college of New Jersey. The analysis provided on ancients Egypt’s concept of medicine and religion, are derived from studies in the fields of medical anthropology, history of medicine and biblical studies. This article directs its attention into why Egyptian medicine was treated as distinct from Religion by scholars, even though medical practices integrated the religious beliefs of Maat (balance) and heka (power) where one could not function without the other. Zucconi argues that medicine and religion as intertwined entities such that they coexist with one another..…

    As a general rule in Ancient Egyptian art, less respected people were portrayed with more realistic figures. In addition, the rarity of the materials used corresponded to the prestige of the person in question. Their status was also reinforced through the presence of various symbols and scale, especially in the case of god-kings. For example, the depictions seen in Khafre Enthroned, Seated Scribe, and Akhenaton from the temple of Aton reveal the respect received by the works’ subjects through these previously mentioned attributes.…

    Statues come in many different forms, sizes, styles, and reasons. After watching our online video and I saw a statue from “The New Kingdom” of the infamous Pharaoh Akhenaten. I was intrigued by the unusual features of this statue. They were unlike the traditional features on a statue I am accustomed to. My research was to find out a little more about this Pharaoh and why he was featured so radically different from the typical statues I was accustomed seeing from ancient times including that of ancient Egyptian tradition. I took a look at some historical facts to see if they may help put the pieces of the puzzle together.…

    The "heretic king" Akhenaten "Beneficial for Aten" was born Amenhophis IV "Amun is satisfied". (Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt Volume I, pg 49) By the time he was seated as pharaoh in 1350 BCE there was already growing tension between the priesthood of Amun and his father Amenhophis III. "The power of the priesthood of Amun was threatening the traditional kingship," (Handout, The Legacy of Egypt, pg 17) and Amenhophis III knew that something had to be done to secure the power of the pharaohs. However, it was his son Amenhophis IV who would be the one to accomplish this, and in the process would exercise more control over the destiny of the elite than any earlier pharaoh.

    Sarah Barnard HIST1108 Professor Murphy October 2014 CREATIVE TITLE Life was going decently well in Egypt under the rule of Amenhotep III, however not all good things last forever, and when he passed away, his oldest living son, Amenhotep IV, took the throne. His subjects were not prepared for what was to occur in the coming years under the new ruler. The beginning of Amenhotep IV’s reign didn’t hold too many changes but as the years progressed, one by one, transformations to the Egyptian way of life (religion especially) began to take place. These changes that were initiated were not only in religion, but in art, writing, politics, architecture, and all were based on his new philosophy.…

    Egyptians were devoted worshippers of their gods and they possessed a very old and complicated system of religion. Egyptians were not only renowned for their devotions to religious observances, but also for the variety and the number of gods they worshiped. Egyptians believed that all the various operations of nature were a result of the actions of beings and truly believed in the diversity of their gods. “They believed that they were a divine nation and that they were ruled by kings who were themselves gods incarnated” (Budge 3).…

    Two ancient civilizations were separated by almost four-thousand miles and the Mediterranean Sea, yet still seemed to produce two incredibly similar and magnificent works of art. If that is not a worthy feat in itself, the two works of art were also created almost two-thousand years apart from each other before the two civilizations had any sort of major contact with one another. The similarities of the works, despite the time and distance, suggests that Ancient Egypt had more of an impact on Ancient Greece than was previously understood. By looking at these two works of art, a deeper understanding of the relations between the civilizations will be gained and explored in more detail.…

    Akhenaten essay

    • 736 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Akhenaten is often not credited as being one of the great pharaoh’s of ancient Egypt; his name is not as recognized as his son, Tutankhamen. However he deserves acknowledged for being a revolutionary leader. Akhenaten is most well-known as being a spiritual enthusiast and instigator of revolution within the kingdom of Egypt. Many historians have recognized Akhenaten with being solely responsible for developing a religious revolution in Egypt. Nevertheless his struggles defined as the first true effort at instituting a monotheistic state in a polytheistic society, his efforts were not eternal. The reasoning behind his decisions to change Egypt's faith is still observed though to this day. “Today most historical resources believe Akhenaten was an egotistic person who transformed religion in Egypt during his reign to help his own naiveté and clichés.” In this paper I will argue that misconception, and clarify that Akhenaten revolutionized ancient Egypt, and inspired future rulers.…
