E-100 Bust of Cleopatra Size: 11" H (28cm) |
 |
|
The last of the Macedonian rulers of Egypt, Cleopatra VII was a remarkable woman and a formidable queen. She has been preserved in legend as a woman of tremendous intellect and ambition who used her beauty and charm to advance Egypt's fortunes. In 51 B.C. she became joint ruler with her father Ptolemy XII and then with her brother and husband Ptolemy XIII. When he died in 47 B.C., her younger brother (also her husband) Ptolemy XIV succeeded him. When Caesar came to Alexandria, Cleopatra persuaded him to support her cause, and she regained her throne and jointly ruled with their son Caesarion from 36 B.C. After Caesar's death, she joined Mark Anthony, hoping that he would help to restore Egypt to its past glory by using Rome's power. Mark Anthony gave Cleopatra much of Rome's eastern possessions but his Roman rival Octavian used this episode as a pretext to turn the Roman senate against Mark Anthony and begin a war against him and Cleopatra. Augustus Octavian defeated him at the battle of Actium. Anthony and Cleopatra withdrew to Alexandria where they committed suicide. |

the Queens, Luxor. Dynasty 1270 B.C.
The tomb of Nefertari, from which this wall fragment comes, is the largest architectural and decorative enterprise ever
dedicated to a Pharaoh's wife. Nefertari, whose name means "the most beautiful of them," was the chief Queen and
favorite wife of Ramses II. Ramses II devoted the minor temple of Abu Simbel to the Goddess Hathor and dedicated it to
Nefertari. There, identified with the Goddess, Nefertari intensely participated in the divine cult. Nefertari gave
Ramses II his firstborn son as well as three other sons and two daughters. Nefertari died in her forties.
| In this image, Nefertari, with a beautiful white ceremonial garb receives the breath of life from Isis, the Mother
Goddess. The hieroglyphical inscription gives the name of the Queen and her titles as well as the one from Isis: "Isis,
Lady of Heaven, Great Royal Wife, Nefertari-Mery-En-Mut." | |

| Bust of King Akhenaton E-33 Bust of King Akhenaton Size: 12" H (30cm) |
Dynasty 18th 1365 B.C. Akhenaton, originally named Amenhotep IV, ruled Egypt for 17 years (1367-1350 b.c.) together with his
Queen Nefertiti. He was the son of Amenhotep III.
|
By the time of his reign, the priesthood of Amun at Thebes, enormously enriched by the tribute donated by the Pharoahs to the God, had become the real power. Like his father before him, Akhenaton initially recognized the power of the Priests of Amun at Thebes, but after the fifth year of his reign, he changed the state cult of Amun to that of Aten, the Unique God. He also assumed the name Akhenaton ("The Glory of the Aten"). This began two decades of religious reforms overthrowing millennia of traditional religious and civil life. Akhenaton erected a temple to the Sun God at Karnak. The Aten temple contained a peristyle court whose 28 pillars
supported colossal statues of the King. This bust is what remains of one of them. | |
