”Ebla is a city in Northern Syria. Approximately 17000 tablets have been unearthed since their initial discovery in 1964, though unfortunately full details have never been released. At its height, a flourishing kingdom was based on the city. In conventional terms the peak was around 2300 BCE, and in the New Chronology interpretation about one or two centuries later. The city was destroyed by a Mesopotamian ruler called Naram-Sin around 2250 BCE using conventional dating, and around 2000 BCE in New Chronology terms. The tablet archive therefore dates from the closing century of the 3rd millennium in NC terms. The tablets found at Ebla describe influential nearby cities and record law codes and judicial decisions made at the city. The structure of laws and customs provides a good parallel for the Genesis accounts. Personal names matching those in Genesis are also found.”

P.Edfou: Tell Edfou

P.Edfou 1.1.: (Greek; from Apollonopolis Magna)

http://perseus.csad.ox.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.05.0104

 

(as per EEF; J. Legon; 121303)
One of the key inscriptions is a "double date" from the temple at Edfu
(Depuydt, 83-4). Concerning the glyphs of this date, Depudyt says:
"The sequence feather + snake + falcon was first identified as 18, the
civil day number, by Brugsch (1872: 15), who reads the feather (or wing
as one half of a pair) as /gs/ "half (of 30)," the snake as /r/ "part,"
and the Horus falcon as "10" ." [Gardiner signs H6 + I14 + G5).

 

R.A. Parker _The Calendars of Ancient Egypt_ (1950, 42), seems to
Accept Brugsch's rendering without comment. However, De Wit (1961), evidently
gives a different translation, as /xr <H3t sp> mDn.t/ or "in year 10".

 

In other Edfu inscriptions thought to show the same date, the
fractional parts of the month are stated explicitly as 1/2 + 1/10. May I assume
that Brugsch's reading of the glyphs in question as "18" was just a
guess, or is there some other evidence to support his interpretation?
(as per EEF; C. Bennett response; 121303)
I know it doesn't address your question on Edfu, but to the evidence
considered in this book should be added a series of lunar/civil
synchronisms from Medinet Habu, given in H. J. Thissen, Die demotischen Graffiti von
Medinet Habu (Bamberg, 1989).
These are all from the reigns of Berenice IV and Cleopatra VII.
(Thissen assigns one to year (21) [Ptolemy VI] = year 10(?) [Ptolemy VIII], but
this is most unlikely on historical grounds, and IMO is more likely to be
year (17) = year 2(?) of Cleopatra VII.) They have had some importance in
establishing the exact chronology of Berenice IV.
Calendrically, the most interesting feature of these synchronisms is
that they are all one day late on the Parker reconstruction of Carlsberg 9
calendar, except for one which is two days late.

“Elephantine Papyri”, ed. O. Rubensohn, Berlin, 1907.

 

(as per S. Rosmorduc and M. Luban and? M. Tilgner; EEF)

Michael Tilgner writes:

 

[M. Luban]“The Elephantine Stela advertises that Setnakht fought an unnamed foe who, in flight, left behind a good deal of gold and silver.  This enemy was routed to a location I do not recognize.  Does anyone have any thoughts about the stela and the identification of this enemy and the place in question?”

 

[S. Rosmorduc] Enemy: According to Drenkhahn the enemy in question was the chancellor Bay who tried to seize power after Tausret had died. However, Altenmueller argued that both Siptah and Bay did not live any more and that Tausret was Sethnakht's enemy.

 

[S. Rosmorduc] About Bay a very important and rather definitive article has just been

published by Pierre Grandet in the latest BIFAO :

P. Grandet, L'exécution du chancellier Bay O. IFAO 1864,

BIFAO 100, pp. 339-345.

In short, he has assembled two ostraca fragments which together give :

“   Year 5, 3 shemu, day 27. This day the scribe of the Tomb Paser has come to say "Pharao VSF has killed the great enemy Bay".

From various details, Grandet concludes that the document's date is year 5 of Siptah.

 

(Anyway, this doesn't preclude Bay from being the enemy in Siptah's stela. After all, we have examples of pharaohs boasting of the defeat of long bygone enemies (e.g. Hatchepsout alluding to the expulsion of the Hyksos in the Speos Artemidos).

Available from OXBOW catalog [B_332 alt]

(051998) Betty Meador — “The Temple Hymns of Enheduanna” The Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna wrote a series of 42 hymns to various temples throughout Mesopotamia. The hymns are a precious repository of the ancient female religion from the hand of the first author of record. Recently translated by Betty Meador, Jungian psychologist and author of Uncursing the Dark, through the hymns we will explore the religion's most sacred place, the dark interior of the holy of holies, where “even the light of the moon does not penetrate.”
