1	Images of a Gendered Kingship: Visual Representations of Hatshepsut and Her Influence on Images of Nefertiti Hilliard, Kristina Marie 08 1900 (has links) I investigate why gendered images of Hatshepsut influenced androgynous images of Nefertiti in New Kingdom Egypt and how Nefertiti and Akhenaten used their images in the promotion of their monotheistic religion; through a contextual, stylistic and feminist examination of the images. Hatshepsut cultivated images of herself to legitimize her rule in relation to canonical kings before her. Similarly, Nefertiti represented herself as a figure indiscernible from Akhenaten, creating an image of female co-rulership. Although the visual representations of both Hatshepsut and Nefertiti differ, the concepts behind each are analogous. They both manipulated androgyny to create images displaying powerful women equal in status to male Egyptian kings. Hatshepsut, Queen of Egypt -- Art. Akhenaton, King of Egypt -- Art.

2	Moses son of Akhenaten? : a study of archaeology and textual perspectives Vine, Jayne Margaret 13 October 2015 (has links) The search for a ‘historical Moses’ is one which has been debated for several centuries. In spite of copious archaeological finds in Egypt and other parts of the ancient Near East, no material remains have been found to substantiate the Exodus story. Mythological stories from the ancient Near East bear striking similarities to the Moses narrative found in the Hebrew Bible. The inconsistencies found in the Hebrew Bible further hamper the attempt to find a historical Moses, instead Moses is found only in tradition. Taking these issues into consideration, other possibilities need to be investigated. This dissertation places Moses growing up in the court of Akhenaten an 18th Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh in the middle of the 14th century BCE. The study investigates the possibility of Moses as a son of Akhenaten with Nefertiti as a stepmother, his own biological mother, a Mitannian princess, having died giving birth to Moses. Several similarities between Akhenaten and Moses are discussed throughout the study. The study moves into the 21st century with the groundbreaking discovery of DNA, which provides new conclusions which before were only debated. / Biblical & Ancient Studies / M.A. (Biblical Archaeology) Akhenaten Archaeology Amarna Aten Atenism Chronology DNA El Exodus god gods History vs memory Mitanni Monotheism Moses Pharaoh Polytheism Prophet Solar-worship Syncretism Yahweh Yahwism 222.1092 Moses (Biblical leader) Akhenaton, King of Egypt Excavations (Archaeology) -- Egypt
