Ancient Egyptians always had an intense and complex relationship with animals in daily life as well as in religion. Despite the fact that research on this relationship has been a topic of study, gaps in our knowledge still remain. This volume presents well over 30 contributions that explore Human-Animal relationships from the Predynastic to the Roman period. The essays cover topics such as animal husbandry, mummification, species-specific studies, the archaeology and economy of the animal cults, funerary practices, iconography and symbolism. The contribution of archaeometrical methods, such as DNA analyses, balms' analyses, AMS dating, radiography, and 3D imaging, are also represented as these play a significant role in furthering our understanding of the human-animal relationship in Egypt.The range of subject matter and contributors are indicative of the importance of animals and the role that they played in ancient Egypt and Nubia, and emphasises the need for continued inter- and multidisciplinary studies on the subject. The research outlined in this volume has helped, for example, to better identify ways of sourcing the animals used in mummification, contributed to establishing the eras during which animal mummification became common, and highlighted new techniques for acquiring DNA.

Das Image des ptolemäischen Königs und seiner Familie wurde maßgeblich von Ptolemaios II. (282-246 v. Chr.) gestaltet. Seine Vorgaben der medialen Repräsentation hatten bis zum Ende des Ptolemäerreichs Bestand und waren über Ägypten hinaus in der hellenistischen Welt einflussreich. Zu den Hauptelementen seiner monarchischen Selbstdarstellung gehörten die Dualität auf dem Thron, eng verbunden mit der Geschwisterehe, die geradezu zum ptolemäischen Markenzeichen wurde, und die Apotheose des Herrscherpaars zu Lebzeiten. Die Untersuchung beleuchtet die politische Ikonographie des ptolemäischen Königspaars gegenüber makedonischen, griechischen und ägyptischen Rezipienten in literarischen, epigraphischen, numismatischen und bildlichen Quellen. Im Kontext der Darstellung der Ptolemäer in pharaonischer Tradition gegenüber der einheimischen Bevölkerung wird der Aspekt ihrer Abgrenzung von den Persern als Herrscher über Ägypten thematisiert. Insbesondere wird die symbolische Codierung der Darstellung der ptolemäischen Königin am Beispiel der Schwester und Frau Ptolemaios' II., Arsinoë II. betrachtet, die als archetypisches Vorbild für die nachfolgenden Königinnen gilt. Dabei wird in Auseinandersetzung mit den vorherrschenden Forschungspositionen der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit das Image der Königin ihre politischen Handlungsräume widerspiegelt.

William J. Murnane (1945-2000) dedicated his life to the epigraphic recording and historical interpretation of the monuments of pharaonic Egypt. In tribute to his important contributions to Egyptology, a prominent group of his colleagues and students offer a range of new studies on Egyptian epigraphy and historiography. Amarna studies loom large in the volume as they did in Murnane's own work. Several chapters investigate the art, history and chronology of the reigns of Akhenaten and his immediate successors. Other contributions deal with historical issues, especially those connected with the epigraphic and archaeological aspects of the Theban temples of Karnak and Luxor. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings.

This study suggests the development of the cartouche was closely related to the monumental encircling symbolism incorporated into the architectural designs of the Old Kingdom pyramids. By employing a new architectural style and a new iconographic symbol, the pharaoh sought to elevate his status above that of the members of his powerful court.
