Description:

This papyrus was part of the burial of Nauny, a Chantress of the god Amun-Re who died in her seventies. She also bore the title "king's daughter," which probably means that she was a child of the High Priest of Amun and titular king of the Theban area, Painedjem I.

On the papyrus are images and texts from a number of spells. The central scene illustrates Spell 125, better known as the Judgment of Osiris or The Weighing of the Heart. Nauny is in the Hall of Judgment. (...) Behind Nauny stands the goddess Isis, both wife and sister of Osiris. She is identified by the hieroglyph above her head.

Today we will talk about a list and names of the kings of ancient Egypt. The first dynasty ruled from about 3150 to 2890 BC. M. It is the first dynasty of Egyptian kings who ruled Egypt after its unification (Upper and Lower Egypt) by Narmer, who ruled after him eight kings, the most famous of whom were (Hor Aha), (Jar) and (Jet), and Queen (Merit Nate), who is the first ruling queen in ancient history , and represents the beginning of the Egyptian historical eras.

The fourth was in Sudan, and Thebes (today called Luxor) was the capital of this empire, and there the greatest temples and the most magnificent tombs were built. This was followed by the era of the third decline, and it includes families 21-25 (about 1085-663 BC), in which kings of Libyan origin ruled the country, including Sheshonq, Yokuris, and others of Nubian origin, the most famous of whom was Yankhi. As the Assyrians invaded, the Egyptians revolted and liberated the country from their control under the leadership of Psamtik I, who founded the 26th Dynasty (about 663 - 529 BC) and returned Egypt to its strength and the Renaissance began. Then the Persians took over the country and some powerful personalities succeeded in expelling them, but they returned throughout the 27 Dynasties. 30. The history of the pharaohs ended when Alexander the Great invaded Egypt and expelled the Persians in 332 BC. And then it was ruled by the Greek pharaohs of the Ptolemaic dynasty. The rule of this family ended when Egypt became an independent Roman province in 30 BC.[1]

They are based primarily on the traditional chronology of ancient Egypt, mostly based on the Egypt Digital Universities Database [2] developed by the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, but alternative dates taken from other sources can be noted separately......

22 ancient Pharaohs have been carried across Cairo in an epic 'golden parade'

22 ancient Pharaohs have been carried across Cairo in an epic 'golden parade'

A procession of floats carried the mummified remains of 22 pharaohs, including Egypt’s most powerful ancient queen, through Cairo Saturday evening, in an eye-catching parade to a new resting place.

Under hefty security, the mummies were driven on floats seven kilometers (four miles) across the capital from the iconic Egyptian Museum to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation.

Dubbed the “Pharaohs’ Golden Parade”, the 18 kings and four queens travelled in order, oldest first, each aboard a separate vehicle decorated in ancient Egyptian style.

(Ahmed Mahmoud/Sputnik/AFP)

Both pedestrians and vehicles were barred from Tahrir Square, site of the current museum, and other sections of the route.

Images of the slick parade and an equally carefully choreographed opening ceremony were broadcast live on state television, to rousing music.

The mummies entered the grounds of the new museum to a 21-gun salute, after a slightly shorter than expected journey time of around half an hour.

(Ahmed Mahmoud/Sputnik/AFP)

“This grandiose spectacle is further proof of the greatness… of a unique civilization that extends into the depths of history,” said President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi just ahead of proceedings.

Seqenenre Tao II, “the Brave”, who reigned over southern Egypt some 1,600 years before Christ, was on the first chariot, while Ramses IX, who reigned in the 12th century BC, brought up the rear.

Another great warrior, Ramses II, who ruled for 67 years, and Queen Hatshepsut, the most powerful female pharaoh, were also on the short voyage.

Emblazoned with the name of their allocated sovereign, the gold and black colored carriages were fitted with shock absorbers for the trip, to ensure none of the precious cargos were accidentally disturbed by uneven surfaces.

(Ahmed Mahmoud/Sputnik/AFP)

‘Upgraded cases’

Discovered near Luxor from 1881 onwards, fascinating new details of the pharaohs’ lives – and deaths – are still emerging.

A high-tech study of Seqenenre Tao II, involving CT scans and 3D images of his hands and long-studied skull fractures, indicate he was likely killed in an execution ceremony, after being captured in battle.

For their procession through Cairo’s streets, the mummies were placed in special containers filled with nitrogen, under conditions similar to their regular display cases.

(Mahmoud Khaled/AFP)

The new resting place, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in the Fustat district of Old Cairo, consists of sleek, low-rise buildings topped with a pyramid amid expansive grounds.

The mummies will undergo 15 days of laboratory restoration before they are showcased individually in their new home, in an environment redolent of underground tombs.

They will be accompanied by a brief biography.

In their new home, they will occupy “slightly upgraded cases”, said Salima Ikram, professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.

Temperature and humidity control will also be enhanced.

The “museum has what it takes to preserve (mummies), the best laboratories… it is one of the best museums we have,” Waleed el-Batoutti, adviser to the tourism and antiquities ministry, told state television.

(Ahmed Mahmoud/Sputnik/AFP)

‘Curse of the Pharaoh’

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation opened its doors to limited exhibits from 2017 and will open fully on Sunday, before the mummies go on display to the general public two weeks later.

In the coming months, the country is due to inaugurate another new showcase, the Grand Egyptian Museum, near the Giza pyramids.

It too will house pharaonic collections, including the celebrated treasure of Tutankhamun.

(Ahmed Mahmoud/Sputnik/AFP)

Discovered in 1922, the tomb of the young ruler, who took the throne briefly in the 14th century BC, contained treasures including gold and ivory.

A so-called “curse of the pharaoh” emerged in the wake of Tutankhamun’s unearthing in 1922-23.

A key funder of the dig, Lord Carnarvon, died of blood poisoning months after the tomb was opened, while an early visitor likewise died abruptly in 1923.

With the parade coming only days after several disasters struck Egypt, some inevitably speculated on social media about a new curse provoked by the latest move.

The past days have seen a deadly rail collision and a building collapse in Cairo, while global headlines were dominated by the struggle to refloat the giant container ship MV Ever Given which blocked the Suez Canal for almost a week.

The mummies’ re-housing “marks the end of much work to improve their conservation and exhibition,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, who was in Cairo for the parade.

“This raises emotions that go much further than the mere relocation of a collection – we will see the history of Egyptian civilization unfold before our eyes.”

Who are the pharaohs who moved home in Cairo?

Here is a list of the pharaohs being rehoused at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation and a description of each.

8 – King Thutmose III was remembered as one of the great warrior kings of the New Kingdom, whose battle at Megiddo is considered a model of military strategy.

9 – King Amenhotep II, his son, was known as an excellent charioteer and all-round athlete as well as skilled with bow and arrow.

He secured Egypt’s borders and fought military campaigns that secured immense wealth and power, and was also known for expanding the Karnak temple complex near Luxor.

10 – Thutmose IV, son of the previous king.

Several papyri recount a so-called “harem conspiracy” involving high officials by his wife, minor queen Tiye, plotting to kill him to put her son Pentawer on the throne.

Mummy of Queen Ahmose-Meritamun Ahmose-Meritamun was the royal daughter of Ahmose I and Ahmose-Nefertari, She was both the sister and the wife of Amenhotep I (r. ca. 1525-1504 BC). Queen Ahmose-Meritamun’s mummy was buried in tomb (TT358) in Deir el-Bahari in two cedarwood coffins and a cartonnage outer case, which is now damaged. Cartonnage is linen or papyrus held together by glue and molded into coffins. The tomb, in antiquity, had been robbed and apparently the mummy was plundered. Nevertheless, during the 21st Dynasty, the tomb was restored and the mummy was rewrapped. When scholars unwrapped the mummy, the queen was found to have wavy brown hair. From examination it appears that she may have died in her fifties, possibly because of scoliosis, from which she suffered in her last days. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. From the Tomb of Queen Ahmose-Meritamun (TT358), Deir el-Bahari, West Thebes.
