Studien zur Altägyptischen Kultur Nr. 42 (2013) - Abstracts (original) (raw)

In a previous article (SAK 39, 2010, 1-17) the author has published the inscriptions of the Southern Wall of the festival court of the temple of Ramesses II at Abydos. This paper aims to complete the previous study, and publish all the accessible inscriptions of the Eastern and Northern Walls that are legible enough to be all intelligible. The texts presented here are based also on copies that were made on the spot and collated with the originals. Altenmüller, Hartwig Anubis mit der Scheibe im Mythos von der Geburt des Gottkönigs S. 15-35, Taf. 6 Im Mittelpunkt von Szene 15 des Zyklus von der Geburt des Gottkönigs steht die Beschneidung des designierten Gottkönigs. Die Szene besitzt Vorläufer im Alten und Mittleren Reich. Der Beitrag sucht nach einer Erklärung für die Rolle des Anubis, der in der Beschneidungsszene eine Scheibe vor sich her rollt. Durch einen Vergleich mit den Bildsequenzen der Zaubermesser des Mittleren Reiches lässt sich wahrscheinlich machen, dass die Szene den Gott Anubis mit dem Sonnenauge abbildet, der das Sonnenauge an den Sonnengott übergibt. Baumann, Stefan Der saisonale Aspekt der Ressortgötter in der Opfereingangskammer von Edfu S. 37-57 In the Horus Temple of Edfu the offerings that were required for the cult were brought into the temple through the side door of chamber Y. In accordance with the function of the chamber, reliefs on each of its two inner door lintels show six gods that offer specific products. These offerings provide an overview of the kind of products that passed through that room. By means of the sequence of the gods and the agricultural events, which are implied by their inscriptions, it is possible to conclude that on an additional level of understanding each of the Egyptian seasons is represented by one pair of gods, who symbolize by their arrangement the course of the year on each lintel.
