A Time Travel Adventure

Creative Project Title: Exploring Ancient Egypt: A Time Travel Adventure

Introduction

Welcome to my fictional vacation to Ancient Egypt, where I will be keeping a travel blog. Join me as I explore the amazing locations and occasions of this remarkable civilization in an effort to appropriately portray their achievements and significance.

Site 1: The Great Pyramid of Giza (May, 15, 1500CE)

Description

I am in awe of the Great Pyramid of Giza's magnificence and the enormous cultural significance it has as I stand in front of it. The greatest of the three pyramids at Giza was constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu. Its imposing presence commands the surrounding area, bearing witness to the ancient Egyptian civilization's unwavering commitment and prowess.

The Great Pyramid, which was built as a royal burial, is a stunning display of engineering and architectural skill. The pyramid's smooth, limestone façade shines in the rays of the golden sun, a sight that would have been just as spectacular in the past (Smith, Craig B., et al (2004). Its construction must have included careful planning and organization, with tens of thousands of workers toiling long hours to put the enormous blocks together.

As I enter, the dimly lit rooms and constrained hallways take me back in time. Within these revered walls, the complex funeral rites and religious practices of the ancient Egyptians come to life. The Great Pyramid represents the pharaoh's divine authority and serves as a representation of their function as a link between this world and the afterlife.

This magnificent building has endured the test of time, demonstrating not only the amazing engineering prowess of the ancient Egyptians but also their ingrained faith in the strength and invincibility of their kings. The Great Pyramid of Giza, which made an enduring impression on the world, stands as a tribute to Ancient Egypt's cultural accomplishments (Mercer, Samuel Alfred Browne (2020)

Site 2: The Temple of Karnak (May, 16, 1500CE)

Description

(May, 16, 1500CE) I went throughAncient Thebes's Temple of Karnak is a huge edifice whose magnificent architectural design astounds me. This temple complex, which is devoted to the worship of Amun-Ra, the supreme deity of Ancient Egypt, is proof of the aesthetic and religious prowess of the culture (Pemberton, Delia (2004)

I enter the enormous Propylaea entrance gate and am met by a broad courtyard surrounded by colossal columns. These columns of the Hypostyle Hall are staggering in size and number, and each one is meticulously decorated with hieroglyphics and ornate sculptures that tell the tales of gods and pharaohs.

The sacred lake adds to the temple's ethereal atmosphere by reflecting the vivid hues of the sky. It was an important component of the temple complex and was used for symbolic rites and rituals of purification.

A gathering place for religious rituals and festivals, the Temple of Karnak drew pilgrims and worshipers from all across Egypt. The splendor of the complex was a testament to the pharaohs' wealth and power as they attempted to honor the gods and establish their heavenly sway (David, Rosalie (2002).

The works of art discovered inside the Temple of Karnak demonstrate the craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptian craftsmen and their capacity to convey the essence of their religious ideas in stone. The temple is a lively reminder of the majesty of ancient Egyptian civilisation and a monument to their religious fervor and cultural accomplishments.

Site 3: The Valley of the Kings (May, 17, 1500CE)

Description

On (May, 17, 1500CE) I went through the Valley of the Kings is a secret treasure trove of ancient Egyptian history and culture, nestled on the west bank of the Nile River. Pharaohs and other royalties were laid to rest in this revered necropolis, with each tomb lovingly built to protect their legacy and guarantee their eternal passage into the afterlife (Romer, John (1981).

I'm stunned by the serene beauty that surrounds the graves as I enter the valley. The beautiful artwork covering the walls, carved into the cliffs, offers a look into the pharaohs' lives and their ideas regarding the afterlife. The pharaohs' triumphant wars, religious ceremonies, and journey into the underworld are shown in rich colors and intricate sceneries.

I can feel the respect and love with which these final resting places were created as I explore the tombs. Each chamber relates a tale of the pharaoh's life and his or her preparation for the afterlife and is decorated with beautiful paintings and hieroglyphic inscriptions. The Valley of the Kings is evidence of the deeply ingrained Egyptian beliefs in the soul's preservation and the continuation of life after death.

The exquisite skill of the artists who painstakingly decorated the tombs, ensuring that the pharaohs would be surrounded by beauty and luxury in their everlasting resting places, is on display at this revered monument (Winlock, Herbert, 1924). The Valley of the Kings serves as a metaphor for the artistic achievements of ancient Egypt and offers a window into their intricate rituals and beliefs concerning the afterlife.

Site 4: Abu Simbel Temples (May, 18, 1500CE)

Description

The Abu Simbel Temples, located in the middle of the Nubian Desert, are an incredible tribute to the might and cultural prowess of Ramses II, one of Egypt's most illustrious pharaohs. With their enormous statues and elaborately carved façades, these twin temples honoring the gods Amun-Ra and Ra-Horakhty leave me in awe this was (May, 18, 1500CE).

The Great Temple, the biggest temple, has four enormous seated statues of Ramses II that stand over 20 meters tall at its entrance (El-Behaedi, Raghda, and Eman Ghoneim (2018). These statues' enormous size is evidence of Ramses II's attempt to establish his dominance and deification.

Ramses II's military victories and religious rituals are shown in intricate wall reliefs that decorate the temple interiors. Every carving displays the accuracy and creativity of the skilled ancient Egyptian carvers, giving us a window into the pharaoh's life and his relationship with the gods.

The Abu Simbel Temples functioned as a declaration of Ramses II's power and authority in addition to being a tribute to his religious fervor. These temples were placed in such a way as to face the rising sun, and at certain times of the year, such as Ramses II's birthday, the sun's rays would illuminate the inner sanctums. The pharaoh's relationship to the divine and his function as a link between the mortal and divine realms are further highlighted by this solar alignment (Seele, Keith (1974)

The Abu Simbel Temples are a prime example of Ancient Egypt's cultural achievements, displaying the splendor of pharaonic authority as well as architectural brilliance and artistic skill. They continue to awe and inspire admiration, drawing tourists from all over the world who want to experience Ramses II's legacy.

Site 5: The Temple of Luxor (May, 19, 1500CE)

Description

As the sun begins to set over Luxor, the Temple of Luxor displays its majesty and splendor. This historic temple, which honors the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, is a reminder of the spiritual and cultural legacy that Ancient Egypt has left behind.

A large procession is anticipated because to the avenue of sphinxes that runs up to the temple's entrance. The temple comes to life as one visualizes the ancient Egyptians traversing this hallowed road throughout religious rites and celebrations (Elfadaly, Abdelaziz, et al, 2017). Awe and devotion are evoked by the enormous entry pylons that are decorated with elaborate sculptures and hieroglyphics.

As I enter the courtyard, I am met by imposing columns with colorful reliefs on their surfaces that depict religious and historical subjects. As a reflection of the holy essence of the gods worshipped inside the temple, the grandeur and scale of the architecture inspire awe.

During the yearly Opet Festival, when the statues of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were paraded from Karnak to Luxor, the Temple of Luxor served as the focal point for religious rites. Priests, royalty, and commoners were all present at these rites, which brought the community together in adoration and celebration.

The exquisite carvings and imposing statues discovered inside the Temple of Luxor demonstrate the craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artisans (El-Razik, Mahmud Abd (1975). This temple invites visitors to engage with a civilisation that once flourished by serving as a monument to the artistic accomplishments and religious significance of Ancient Egypt.

Conclusion: Traveling to Ancient Egypt has been a fantastic experience that has allowed me to fully immerse myself in the significance and rich cultural accomplishments of this amazing civilisation. Mysteries of the past have been revealed at the monuments I have visited, and I am in awe of the ancient Egyptians' brilliance and imagination. Their monuments continue to enthrall and inspire us while introducing us to a past world. Come along with me as we explore the legends and artifacts of ancient Egypt, and allow the mystique of this remarkable culture to carry you back in time.

“The supreme, the merciless, the destroyer of opposition, the exalted King, the shepherd, the protector of the quarters of the world, the King the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced mighty and merciless Kings from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same to acknowledge one supremacy.” - Ashurnasirpal

"father" meryatum motions for his father to lean down so he could gently press their foreheads together before presenting the pharaoh with his present : a robe only befitting the sun king himself. he had worked on it for weeks ( with help from some more talented servants ) but he had wanted to gift his father something that would even make ra pale in comparison. "happy holidays!"

     AH! THERE WAS HIS son! Both him and Amun could be hard to track in this building sometimes, but he was starting to wonder if that was because they were mixed up in things they should not be... Thankfully Amun had approached him, so that saved time trying to figure out where in the world he was. This was the same case. The moment he saw Meryatum, his eyes lit up, hand sliding towards his pocket for the little box within. The only thing that gave him pause was when his son gestured for him to lean down for whatever reason. A brow rose curiously, yet he did what was asked of him. It took but a special few for him to ever move to another's height, although naturally his children would always fall into that category. The gift he was presented was beautiful -- no, that word was not strong enough to describe how he felt upon seeing it. 

     There were many outfits that Ozymandias held at his disposal; countless for any occasion if he so desired it; however, what he was given here and now seemed to make everything seem so dull in comparison. Meryatum always did have an eye for aesthetics. To be expected of one who had become a priest. ❝You make even your father speechless with what you have brought me today, My Little Sun. Had your mother been here...❞ Oh, she would have loved the sight of it as well. Still admiring the robe that he had been brought, he nearly forgot why he had been searching for his son to begin with until he recalled familiar weight within his pocket. 

     ❝Mm, do not think that your father forgot you on this day. You and your brother can be difficult to track. I would nearly need a hound to search for you on a good day.❞ He smirked, hand digging into his pocket until box was presented to the other. Within it was a small, decorative bead collar necklace. Each bead carefully polished to the point they would gleam beneath the sun's light. ❝Now we both can look our best.❞

[paramay 2019 aesthetic] Day 17 // Zazie + Mythical Figure

Amun-Ra

The most important of the Egyptian gods, the personification of the (midday) sun. According to the Heliopolitan cosmology he created himself from a mound that arose from the primeval waters of Nun or out of a primordial lotus flower. He then created Shu (air) and Tefnut (moisture), who in turn engendered the earth-god Geb and the sky-goddess Nut. Ra was said to have created humankind from his own tears. The sun itself was taken to be either his body or his eye (the 'Eye of Ra'). Ra is also the god of the pharaohs and since the fourth dynasty the Egyptian kings styled themselves 'sons of Ra'. After death, the monarch was said to ascend into the sky to join the entourage of Ra. Here the kings also built temples for Ra, which were important institutions in the field of ideology. Ra was usually portrayed as a man with the head of a falcon, crowned with the sun disc encircled by the uraeus.

     Marik does have a main type for his team in that AU: he has ghost and dark as his mains--those two are his go-to types, mostly because he enjoys their aesthetics and how they are creepy things just like him.      His team consists of Cofagrigus ♀ ( Amunet ), Houndoom ♂ ( Aten ), Tyranitar ♀ ( Sobek ), Dragapult* ♂ ( Akhir ), and Gengar ♂ ( Kek )-- Amunet being his starter and Akhir being shiny. Though, he does sometimes switch around a few for others such as a Hydregion ♀ ( Ammut ), Alolan Ninetails ♂ ( Amun ), Dragalge* ♀ ( Nephthys ), Corviknight ♂ ( Horus ) and has a Moltres ( Ra ) and Giratina ( Apophis )--though the last two are not used for battle.

[lustlace27]

Does anybody have any (online) sourced info/mythology/etc on Amun-Ra? Specifically his correspondences, styles of worship for him, and history? My friend needs to know but I honestly cannot find anything on Tumblr except aesthetics and archeological posts, plus Google is a bust. Much appreciated!
