Abstract:

In ancient Egypt with a strong religious belief, Maat was recognized, followed, and respected by all ancient Egyptians for its unique figurative metaphor and multiple connotations. The goddess Maat not only mastered the order of the universe but also guided real society. She was one of the important objects of goddess worship in ancient Egypt. The belief in the goddess Maat, which has been popular for thousands of years, is an imprint of the female status in ancient Egypt. The Maat’s concepts of justice, harmony, and order have influenced the legal, family, and political status of women in anc

Abstract:

The study of ancient Egyptian religion and femininity in today's academic world has become increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive, but there are still some gaps. This paper explores the impact of religion on women's status in ancient Egypt. Through case studies and literature review, the author analyses the positive impact of religion on women's status in ancient Egypt and the limitations that still exist from the perspectives of cognitive archaeology and femininity. As discussed and analysed, it can be seen that women in ancient Egypt did not have access to higher power and status due t

Abstract:

Skeletal anomalies with body disproportions have attracted people's attention since ancient times. Attitudes towards those suffering from these malformations varied in different times and among different peoples - from deification (for example, in Ancient Egypt) to rejection and isolation (in Sparta and medieval Europe). In ancient Egypt, Bez, the patron god of children and pregnant women, was depicted as a dwarf with short arms and legs. History has preserved information that the ancient Greek philosopher and fabulist Aesop suffered from disproportionate dwarfism (probably achondroplasia).

In this article, the author analyzes the features of the service of Egyptian queens in the temples of Ancient Egypt. Religion in Ancient Egypt was a unique phenomenon that was significantly different from the modern understanding of the role of religion and the church in society. The temples served as a home for the god, where the king and the priesthood ensured the preservation of Maat on earth. The queens became the earthly embodiment of the goddess Mut. The degree of involvement in the process of serving the gods of the queens is also unique. In fact, the foundations of all the freedoms and

Abstract:

The popular yet demonic guardian of ancient Egypt, Bes, combines dwarfish and leonine features, and embodies opposing traits such as a fierce and gentle demeanor, a hideous and comical appearance, serious and humorous roles, an animalistic and numinous nature. Drawing connections with similarly stunted figures, great and small cats, sacred cows, baboons, demonic monsters, universal gods and infant deities, this article will focus on the animalistic associations of the Bes figure to illustrate that this leonine dwarf encompassed a wider religious significance than apotropaic and regenerative fu

Abstract:

Abstract Merit Ptah is widely described as “the first woman physician and scientist” on the Internet and in popular history books. This essay explores the origins of this figure, showing that Merit Ptah came into being in the 1930s when Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead misinterpreted a report about an authentic ancient Egyptian healer. Merit Ptah gradually became a prominent figure in popular historical accounts during second-wave of feminism, and, in the twenty-first century she appeared in Wikipedia and subsequently spread throughout the Internet as a female (sometimes black African) founding figure.

Abstract:

The presence of the mother in some marriage contracts in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt raises the question of whether her presence implies that she has recovered a role that she had played in historical periods prior to the formation of the polis or whether, on the contrary, it is a characteristic of this period and, if the latter, the point is whether it is a revival of an ancient Greek institution, or rather an influence of local law. It is also possible that the disappearance of the regulations of the polis in the Greek emigration led women to develop their activities with greater freedom and

Abstract:

SummaryThe role of women in the processes of fertilization and procreation in ancient Egypt has been traditionally regarded as passive. This article sets out to challenge this view, by introducing the new evidence that the study of the Hemusets provide. The Hemusets have been largely neglected by the Egyptological scholarship, and consequently, their important contribution to the discussion of fertilization is still ignored, but this research examines for the first time their relevant textual and iconographic sources. This investigation shows that the Hemusets are involved in the creation of f

Abstract:

Four mud-bricks inscribed with spells from Chapter 151 of the Book of the Dead are often found in the burial chambers of royal and elite tombs dating from the New Kingdom. These bricks can be shown to represent the four bricks that supported women during childbirth. The use of bricks in a mortuary context is thus metaphorical, replicating the equipment of an earthly birth in order to ensure the deceased's rebirth into the other world. Such bricks may also have been used in the ‘Opening of the Mouth’ ritual, both at funerals and in temple foundation ceremonies. In connection with their role at

Abstract:

Many people today believe that furniture – any kind of furniture, whether cabinets, chairs or upholstered furniture – has the ability to tell people about the time or the era in which it was created. For example, many pieces of upholstered furniture, standing in our homes or in a museum, can tell not only about the achievements of furniture production, but also about the way of life of people living in those early days. For example, today, many models of sofas and armchairs are completed with cute plump pads, and in ancient Egypt, women ate and slept on soft mats, and under their h

Abstract:

The paper deals with Russian folk legends about “pharaohs” - mythical creatures with a human torso and a fish tail, who inhabited the water element. The legends reflected the oldest layer of folk knowledge about the ancient Egyptian history. These ideas go back to the biblical story about Pharaoh's army that drowned in the Red Sea during the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. In Old Russia, the title “Pharaoh” became a symbol of a proud and wicked ruler. The legend about the mythical water people was first recorded by Vasily Poznyakov, who travelled to Egypt in 1558. At the end of the 16th century
