What made him so popular, was through his establishment of the Sarapis cult. The Sarapis cult fused the Egyptian and Greek religions through the restoration of temples of the pharaohs which had been destroyed by the Persians. Not only did they restore the temples, they also gave gifts to the ancient Egyptian Gods and patronage of the Egyptian nobility and priest hood. In my opinion, his most important contribution was the creation of the Museum, which was a common workplace for scholars and artists and established the library at Alexandria. The Museum was one of the seven wonders of the old world.
The subsequent economic crisis and changing attitudes in colonial countries were the two main issues that caused decolonisation. Some individuals were instrumental in politicising and creating a sweeping sense of nationalism in their respective countries e.g. Nkrumah in Ghana. However, they were merely a product of WWII and the resulting consequences that came about. The occupation of Egypt was carried out for economic and strategic reasons; however individuals were important in the timing of annexation.
The significance of the Ionian Revolt also dictated and contributed to the course of other battles that followed the revolt due to the new discoveries the states made of their opposing armies. Also, the potential economic and social consequences of the Ionian Revolt should be accounted for. Therefore, the significance of the Ionian Revolt can be argued to be both crucial, yet minor in some aspects. It can be argued that the Ionian Revolt played a significant role in regards to acting as a catalyst for the Persian War that would follow. Herodotus notes that when Darius was told of the Athenians’ actions in Sardis, he vowed to punish those who were to blame and he instructed the servant to recite ‘Sire, remember the Athens.’ Thus, Herodotus alludes that the implications of the Ionian Revolt acted as a spark to ignite the hatred and seek for revenge in Darius to the Athenians which can be reflected by the Persian Wars.
Their major deity was Seth but they also worshipped other Egyptian gods as well as Anat and Astarte, two closely related goddesses of Syro-Palestinian origin. Conventional forms of Egyptian literature contineud to be composed or copied. Having established their capital at Avaris, they appear to have gradually spread westward, establishign centres such as Tell El-Yahudiya, and taking control of the important Egyptian city of Memphis. The discover of a small number of objects incribed with the names of Hyksos kings at sites such as Knossos, Baghdad and Boghazkoy, suggest that the new rulers maintained trading links with the Near East and the Agean. Seals at the Nubian site of Kerma bear the name Sheshi, apparently
The trading companies played a significant role in triggering the Navigation Acts, but it was the acts themselves that put trade in the hands of the British. Therefore, it can be judged that the Navigation Acts were the main reason for the growth of the British Empire. The Navigation Acts were the most important aspects which not only helped, but accelerated the growth of the British Empire. The Navigation Acts which began in 1650 had four major aims in its mercantile policy, to encourage the growth of a native merchant marine fleet including colonial ships, to protect English agriculture and manufacturers from foreign competition and to make as much bullion as possible. It started off by forbidding the import of all goods, unless they were imported in English ships.
Taylor Elander Ms. Hinojosa ARH 302 2 November 2014 Short Write Up #1 My chosen motif was grandeur and power and how the Egyptian way of showing it has carried on into modern day civilization. Beginning around 2533 BCE, the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt, along with the Great Sphyinx, were large shows of grandeur. They pyramids were built for Pharaohs and their most precious belongings. They were used as tombs for whomever they were being built for and they were great displays of the Pharaohs wealth and power as well as influence. Looking into modern times, you can go all the way to Las Vegas, Nevada, where the Luxor Resort and Casino lies.
This can be seen in problems that all new kings faced but particularly the new king of a new dynasty and in particular in Dynasty 6. Kings had to have powerful allies to ensure that the centralised administration continued to effectively manage Egyptian affairs. At the beginning of dynasty 5 king userkaf brought in political reforms which was an indication that all kings had political problems to deal with. This leads into the idea that it is particularly in dynasty 6 that kings faced extreme dynastic problems with the assassination of one king (TETI) and the problems that the new king (PEPY I) faced. Kanawati suggests that Teti was assassinated.
HYKSOS ESSAY PLAN Assess the impact of the Hyksos on Egypt during this period Introduction The Hyksos domination provided the Egyptians with the incentive and the means towards world expansion - Breasted Context = Within the second intermediary period, such was a time of “Dire havoc and confusion” (Bradley). Egyptian rule was dis-unified as well as fragile. Hyksos rule over Egypt is in fact what catalyses their transgression into a nascent empire, where the Hyksos had captured Avaris, Cusae as well as Memphis. Hyksos rule over Egypt lasted for 100 years, and thusly lead to assimilation of their religion and the introduction of new processes and products to the economy” - Bradley Great impact on Egypt = Technological, political, cultural. All allowing Egypt to ultimately transcend into a belligerent, apodictic Empire.
This new Kingdom was new for a reason as it was a new royal line on the throne following the expulsion of the Hyksos. Egypt was reunified; however this did not mean it was free from problems with other regions such as Nubia and Syria. A militaristic empire was in the process of formation and as a result the expectations of the Pharaohs were to be actively changing Egypt as a reflection of the Warrior Pharaoh image. It was a time when extensive building projects occurred, the empire was developed, the new capital at Thebes was established, the god Amun had a strong pre-eminence, Egypt was starting to develop a nationalistic nature and when Egypt was abundant in wealth. New Kingdom Egypt was new, it was the beginning of a new era , for want of a better word, and it was in the hands of
Though the ruler of Avaris claimed to be King of Upper and Lower Egypt, we know from the discovery of burials from that may have been a result of a massive plague and records dating to the 17th Dynasty king Kamose, show that Cusae, a little further south, was actually the specific boarder point. (SHOW ON MAP) The Invasion / Gaining Power * These Hyksos melted easily into Egyptian society at first as nomads would. Eventually they became very powerful and increased in population. Inevitably, they took over Northern Egypt in entirety and imposed one of their own as the
