    Amun Priesthood

    • 1013 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple, more formally known as Djeser-Djeseru, is clearly evidence of propaganda used to justify her claim to the throne and her devotion to Amun. Not only did she devote the top level of her temple to Amun, but also had a detailed relief of her Divine Birth inscribed on the Middle Colonnade. This relief explains how the god Amun came to Hatshepsut’s mother and, taking the physical form of Thutmose I, impregnated her, thus suggesting the god Amun was her heavenly father, which is highlighted in Breasted’s translation, “Khnemet-Amun-Hatshepsut shall be the name of this my daughter”. By placing so much emphasis on this divine conception, Hatshepsut further affiliated herself with Amun and according to modern historian, Robins, “legitimized her claim to the throne”. At the time of Hatshepsut’s reign, Karnak was the religious epicentre, and so maintaining it was an important feature of Hatshepsut’s building program, through which Breastsed comments “She made them as her monuments to her father, Amun, Lord of Thebes, preside over Karnak”. The Red Chapel is one example of the importance Hatshepsut’s relationship to Amun. The sanctuary was built in honour of Amun and used as a…

    Originally, in the Ogdoad system, he was god of the underworld. He was said to have a wife, Anput (who was really just his female aspect, her name being his with an additional feminine suffix: the t), who was depicted exactly the same, though feminine. He is also listed to have taken to wife the feminine form of Neheb Kau, Nehebka, and Kebauet. Kebauet, the Goddess of cold water, is also listed as his daughter in some places. His father was originally Ra in many papyrus records which were found in pyramids.(Anubis is fourth son of Ra.) But in after ages, his father was said to be Osiris, as he was the god of the dead, and his mother was said to be Nephthys. Anubis was identified as the father of Kebechet, the goddess of the purification of body organs due to be placed in canopic jars during mummification.…
