I left Luxor 25th June every year I do the visa run to the uk. If you have to leave you
might as well see family. And every year my daughter nags me about my
health. I haven't had an annual diabetic check for years. My back
problems have not even been diagnosed. I went deaf in one ear. I have
had cellulitis. My medication (high blood pressure, cholesterol) has not
reviewed since I came to Egypt 15 years ago etc etc etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
So this year I
agree to see a Dr. Well that was an eye opener. The Dr was
horrified(really sweet though) and has insisted I stay in the UK and get
all these issues properly looked at and resolved. This could take
months. I am apparently a medical emergency. FML<br />
<br />
I havent been able to report from the field because my health issues stoped me getting out and about so I have just been recycling news reports.<br />
<br />
Also Blogger no longer supports OpenID. Existing OpenID comments and your OpenID settings may have changed. You cant auto publish to other social media.<br />
<br />
So this would seem a good time to take a break which maybe permanent or temporary. Thank you all for all the feedback over the years. It has been much appreciate</div>

Dear Jane,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am so sorry that I have not answered your email. I do not
know why that happened as I always answer all my emails.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do hope that you will accept my apologies.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am going to do the following. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1) First, I will talk to dr. Khaled El-Enany and see how we
can push to make this project work because it is a great idea and I do thank
you for all your efforts. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2) I am finishing a guidebook called "Zahi Hawass'
Secret Egypt" and Noreen Doyle is the one editing it, so she will contact
you for details about your project. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am also going to write about your project in El Masry Al
Youm newspaper.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am going to be in Luxor most of the time because I am
going to start the new season of my excavations in the Valley of the Kings
starting September 1st. Hope to see you there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Top Tips for Toilets</h2>
<br />A point was just made to me which I had not considered. Loos (UK expression) the John (American expression I believe). I would really appreciate any comments about good and bad and I will update this post<br /><br />First point, most toilets have internal bidets which wash your bum so toilet paper is only used to dry yourself hence the request to place it in the bin. Reach down right hand side and you will find a tap. I love it, so fresh and clean and miss the system when I go back to the UK. Sometimes there is a hose instead. Sometimes both. The water comes from the mains.<br /><br />Second, various experiences but I would like more. I don’t often go while I am out, especially on the west bank, so have little experience. Please email me jane.akshar @ gmail.com<br /><br />The toilets just before the Open Air Museum at Karnak are ground floor but not wheelchair accessible<br />Valley of the Kings accessible and great<br />Kitchener island toilets well signposted “WC” signs<br />Suhail Nubian Village near Aswan dam excellent<br /><br />Nobody seems to mind/notice tourists using hotels and restaurants so ones I have snuck in and used in Luxor<br />• Nile Palace Hotel ground floor, in the lobby to your right as you enter.<br />• Snack time overlooking Luxor temple has a lift, toilets are 1st floor<br />• Ramasseum café, ground floor, very basic<br />• Fayrouz Hotel ground floor but steps involved, basic<br />• Winter Palace Hotel, 1st floor but you can get the lift by going in the luggage entrance under the stairs</div>

Thousands of stone blocks lying for years in a storage near
Luxor turned out to be the remains of the temple of Thutmose I, long sought
after by archaeologists. Fragments of the temple were identified by a Polish
Egyptologist, Jadwiga Iwaszczuk.</div>
The Temple of Thutmose I (1504-1492 BC), in times of splendour, was
comparable to the temples built by Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari or by Ramesses
II - the Ramesseum.<br />
Jadwiga Iwaszczuk, Egyptologist from the Institute of Mediterranean and
Oriental Cultures of the Polish Academy of Sciences, made an accidental
discovery. Beautifully decorated fragments of blocks from which the temple was
built, were located in the storage of the Egyptian Supreme Council of
Antiquities (now Egyptian Ministry of State for Antiquities), in a tomb adapted
for this purpose in Theban Necropolis near Luxor.<br />
Right next to this place is the house Polish archaeologists use during
research at the temple of Hatshepsut under the supervision of Dr. Zbigniew E.
Szafranski from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology UW. Polish
Egyptologists visited the storage in search of possible blocks from the pharaoh
woman\'s temple.<br />
Historical fragments in storage came from excavations conducted by one of
the Egyptian scientists in the 1970s. Iwaszczuk explained that the
archaeologist described his discovery as the temple of Cha-achet from the times
of the reign of Hatshepsut. In fact, the remains of that temple were discovered
only a few years ago by French archaeologists in the temple of Ramesses II -
the Ramesseum.<br />
"My research had unexpected results. It turned out that all of the
discovered fragments came from the temple of Thutmose I. The location of the
temple - in the vicinity of the temple Thutmose of Thutmose III - had been
known for more than half a century. Until now researchers misidentified
it" - she said.<br />
The main proof of the new discovery is the name of the temple of Thutmose I
- Khenemet-ankh (The one that unites with life), known from written sources,
and preserved on architectural fragments deposited in the storage.<br />
Epigraphic analyses done in recent years by the Polish Egyptologist allowed
to recognize further information. While the temple was erected for Thutmose I,
it was commissioned by his daughter Hatshepsut. Two types of stone - limestone
and sandstone - were used in construction. It is unusual, argues Jadwiga
Iwaszczuk, because in the times of Hatshepsut limestone was mainly used. Her
entire temple in Deir el-Bahari was built from this material. However,
according to the Egyptologist, this was not a coincidence. Architects used
sandstone because they knew its properties as a hard but easy to carve stone.
All the supporting elements of the walls were made of sandstone, and the
filling and walls were made of limestone, the researcher said.<br />
Among the curiosities of the temple, according to its discoverer, is one of
the first battle scenes with chariots known from the area of ancient Egypt.<br />
On the basis of fine fragments, the researchers also determined that the
temple had been renovated. The deceased ruler was worshiped in the temple for
several hundred years after his death, certainly until the reign of Ramesses IX
(XII BC), but it is possible that the temple existed until the turn of the era.<br />
Until now, Iwaszczuk\'s team has drawn about 5 thousand stone blocks and
photographed 7.5 thousand of them. Now, tedious work is being performed to
recreate the entire scenes that adorned the huge temple.<br />
"Finally, it reached its sad end: like many other Theban temples, it
served as a quarry for the material for stone bowls. Only unused
post-production waste was left, including the fragmented decorative reliefs,
which today we use to try to recreate the full shape of the temple" -
concluded Iwaszczuk.<br />

As this is quite a recent addition to the sites on the west bank it was a bit disappointing that access was so tricky but with the help of the guardian we did get round. The big problems were getting from the car park to the walkway (step), entrance into the Carter House itself (several steps), a bad ramp on the way from the Carter House to the replica tomb and the entrance into the tomb itself(step). I would say the grounds and replica tomb are 80% accessible but forget the Carter House<br />

Steps meant the scooter could not travel along and the guardian had to lift the scooter (he was strong) but he was very willing. The ramp(?) was awful, I couldnt use it.<br />
<br />
There were so many steps into the Carter House we had to leave the scooter in the hall. I made Marion pose at Carters desk<br />

Actually inside the replica tomb was great once we were in. Nice wooden flooring and ramp. The pictures and story boards are excellent and you do wonder how on earth everything was put inside the tomb. I love the replica done from the Harry Burton pictures of part of the decoration that had to be destroyed. We wondered where those bits are now</div>

MOA Press Release 6/5/2018</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
High-level geophysics research provides conclusive
evidence on the non-existence of hidden chambers adjacent to or inside
Tutankhamun’s tomb (KV62).</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Dr. Mostaf Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme
Council of Antiquities announced adding that the Head of the Italian scientific
team Dr. Francesco Porcelli of the Polytechnic University of Turin is to
provide all details of the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) studies and analysis
during a speech he would deliver today at 5:30 pm at the current Fourth
Tutankhamun International Conference.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The team also include experts from the nearby University
of Turin and from two private geophysics companies, Geostudi Astier (Leghorn)
and 3DGeoimaging (Turin), who have completed the analysis of the GPR data
collected from the inside of Tutankhamun’s tomb (code name KV62) last February
2018.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Dr. Waziri pointed out that Dr. Porcelli has submitted a
scientific report to the Permanent Committee for Ancient Egyptian Antiquities
at the Ministry of Antiquities with all the results of the GPR data analyses,
revealing that the GPR scans were performed along vertical and horizontal
directions with very dense spatial sampling. Double antenna polarizations where
also employed, with transmitting and receiving dipoles both orthogonal and
parallel to the scanning direction.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Dr. Porcelli asserted that the main findings are as
follows:</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
No marked discontinuities due to the passage from natural
rock to man-made blocking walls are evidenced by the GPR radargrams, nor there
is any evidence of the jambs or the lintel of a doorway. Similarly, the
radargrams do not show any indication of plane reflectors, which could be
interpreted as chamber walls or void areas behind the paintings of KV62
funerary chamber.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
It is concluded, with a very high degree of confidence,
said Dr. Porcelli, the hypothesis concerning the existence of hidden chambers
or corridors adjacent to Tutankhamun’s tomb is not supported by the GPR data.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
This is the third GPR survey to be conducted. It was
designed to stop the controversy aroused after the contradictive results of two
previous radar surveys carried out by a scientific Japanese and American teams,
to inspect the accuracy of a theory launched in 2015 by British Egyptologist
Nicholas Reeves who suggested the existence of queen Nefertiti’s tomb concealed
behind the north and west wall paintings of king Tutankhamun’s burial chamber.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
To solve the difficulties encountered by the two
preceding surveys and provide a conclusive response, the Ministry of
Antiquities in early 2016, decided to discuss the matter in the second
International Tutankhamun Conference held in May 2016 and attended by a group
of pioneer scholars, archaeologists and Egyptologists who on their turn
asserted to conduct a third GPR systems with different technology to put an end
to such debate.</div>

An Archaeological Egyptian Mission from the Ministry of
Antiquities working at the south part of Karnak Temples’ 10th pylon, has uncovered architectural elements of god
Osiris-Ptah-Neb shrine.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Dr. Ayman Ashmawy, Head of the Ancient Egyptian
Antiquities Sector at the Ministry of Antiquities announced and pointed out
that the shrine is one of the most important shrines to be constructed for god
Osiris inside the temples of Karnak during the late period because it is
located at the southern side of god Amun-Re Temple and not to the east or north
side as known in the ancient Egyptian belief.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The shrine is located to the south of the 10th
pylon of god Amun-Re temple, in the area between both temples of Amun and Mut
to the east of the Avenue of Sphinxes.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Essam Nagy, Head of the Mission explains that the shrine
dates back to the late 25th Dynasty, when the importance god Osiris appears was
linked to the Avenue of Sphinxes and Mut temple.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The architectural elements uncovered by the mission
consist of the entrance of the shrine, columns and inner walls, as well
as remains of a third chamber, foundations stones and the shrine’s floor.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Nagy said that the discovery includes also a collection
of Pottery, the lower part of a siting statue, part of a stone panel depicting
an offering table filled with a ram and a goose, which are symbols of god Amun
the master of Karnak temples. On top of the panel there is the winged sun-disk.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The shrine depicts the names of Kings Taharka and Tanout
Amun, the last king of the 25th Dynasty.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
In Aswan, another Egyptian mission discovered a head of
the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius with a wavy hair and beard. Dr. Ashmawy
describes the head as unique because it is rarely to find statues that belong
to such emperor.</div>

the changes at Karnak. It looked like work had finished so we decided to do a
site visit to check out the improvements. Sharon Davidson came as my personal
photographer lol. She is a very good photographer with a good camera. Mohamed
also met up with us with his camera.</span></div>

car park to the visitor centre. A few signs shown the best route for
wheelchairs would have helped. </span></div>

flooring in the main tourist route. But the more remote places had no changes
so my previous report on Karnak is still accurate. <a href="http://luxor-news.blogspot.com.eg/2016/10/hidden-luxor-east-bank-disabled-report.html">http://luxor-news.blogspot.com.eg/2016/10/hidden-luxor-east-bank-disabled-report.html</a>
But as we were going round Mohamed heard that the Minister was coming on a
visit. Dr. Khaled Anany the Egyptian Minister of Antiquities was one of the
first people I approached with my ideas about improving access.</span></div>

and he told us that this was the first stage and more improvements were coming.
The access is being extended and will cover more of the temple. It was a lucky
coincidence to meet him and to be able to chat. I also got interviewed about the campaign I started in 2016</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Highlights of the Recent Results of the Polish-Egyptian Archaeological
and Conservation Mission of the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri –
Zbigniew Szafranski</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The temple is a very unique site, indeed it is a UNESCO
site. The Poles have been working there since 1961 following in the footsteps
of the Americans who followed the British. Their work has concentrated on the upper
terrace.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The main sanctuary had a name change from Neferere the
daughter of Hatshepsut to Ahmose the mother of Hatshepsut when Neferere
disappeared from the historical record in the 11<sup>th</sup> year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wooden butterfly joints joined many of the large blocks</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The main shrine is important for our knowledge Amen Re</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The barque shrine was destroyed by Akhenaton and restored by
Horemheb who left evidence with the cryptographic version of his name.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second room shows the purification of the statues by
Tuthmosis III and Hatshepsut. Hatshepsut is show as a king in the 2<sup>nd</sup>
year of the joint reign not the 7<sup>th</sup> as some scholars have said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The depiction of Hatshepsut was destroyed but is still visible
as it was done with chisels faithfully following the outline.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was lots of black soot and when this was removed it
showed Hatshepsut with a red skin. This is very significant as women were
traditionally showed with a yellow skin. However Hatshepsut wanted to show
herself as a king, which had to be male. (There is a paper on skin tones at
Deir el Bahri Andrezi Cweik : Red, Yellow, Pink : Ideology of skin tones). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a lot of burial shafts from the 23<sup>rd</sup>
and 25<sup>th</sup> dynasty. There was an earthquake approx. 1000 BC and lot of
temples were destroyed. However these were still perceived as holy places and
suitable for a necropolis.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Inside the main shrine they have done a lot of restoration
in high relief , from just a few pieces because it was known exactly what they
were part of the rest of the decoration can be derived. He showed an example of
<span class="y0nh2b"><b>sema</b>-<b>tawy</b> ( usually translated as "The
Uniter of the <b>Two Lands</b>" and was depicted as a human trachea
entwined with the papyrus and lily plant. The trachea stood for <b>unification</b>,
while the papyrus and lily plant represent Lower and Upper <b>Egypt</b>). And
another restoration was of the sister of Hatshepsut who died young </span><span class="st">Nefrubity</span>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The inner rooms had windows and between 28<sup>th</sup>
Jan and 6<sup>th</sup> Feb the rising sun would light up the statue in the sanctuary.
We do not know the exact date as we don’t have the statue to fix the date,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">It was found that the limestone structure had
moved by 1 mm and this is being closely monitored and replacement plaster has
been used to seal the cracks..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">They are using electronic/digital methods to
document, hundreds of photos are taken and then these are ‘stitched; together
to produce documentation of the whole</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The glyphs around the niche identify the
temple as the millions of years but it had many other functions. There is also
a sun court and worship of the royal Ka. In the sun court three niches were
originally planned with the third niche being dedicated Ahmed the mother. But
this was changed to a chapel dedicated to Anubis</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Much use was made of Hatshepsut’s cryptographic
name and when Tuthmosis II removed her name this was left.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Queens were very important and get a lot of
mention similar to Queens to the 17<sup>th</sup> dynasty like Tetishri. So
Tuthmosis I is shown with his mother and Hatshepsut with her mother. Neferere
was planned to be the next queen but her early disappearance (death?) meant
Tuthmosis III took over. (Tuthmosis then restricted the importance of women and
during his reign the Gods Wives of Amun disappeared as a title.)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">In the North West corner a part of the temple
looks very Greek in style with its columns. During this time there were
immigration of styles, there are 280 columns and pillars in the temple a
completely different style to the Old Kingdom structures</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The lower Anubis chapel had a degree of
movement also the Hathor chapel. Iron frame works had to be constructed to
protect the structure and make it stable </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Hatshepsut disappeared in the 21<sup>st</sup>
year (death?)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The colossus has been incorrectly reconstructed
so they are taking it apart and redoing it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The have left the entrance to one Third
Intermediate Period burial visible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">They intend to reconstruct the sphinxes

Helen Strudwick on Coffins was a case in point. It was
deeply fascinating showing inscriptions and CT scans. She works at the Fitzwilliam, Cambridge
and they have been investigating the coffins in their collection to try and
understand them better especially their construction. There is evidence that coffins
were bought off the shelf and stored. The colours of the inscriptions is the
big clue. The wood was often local wood and was made into planks like the workshop
of MeketRe. Wood was scarce so often reused with joints being recarved and
plaster being used to fill<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the missing
pieces. </div>

I did start to take some notes but gave up because the lecture was so visual. You can tell Francesco is an art expert. He has such an eye for noticing detail. He went through how much Egyptian iconography was evidenced in the west, a lot of paintings, architecture, festivals and drawings, He noted that when a new religion comes along like Christianity they either reject pagan imagery or accept and assimilate.<br />
<br />
After the end of the pharaohs true knowledge of what the hieroglyphs meant and what the Egyptians believed disappeared as the language changed to Coptic and then to Arabic. But that did not stop people using the images. It was fascinating to see to evidence of pyramids, Anubis sphinxes, Isis and bulls. All over the world and in the most unlikely places like Brazil.<br />
<br />
Once the hieroglyphs were translated then the mythology ceases as the true facts were known<br />
<br />
Next week he is going to cover the influence in Islam<br />

which means wheelchair users can access the flat independently. Our

of wheelchair users. If this proves popular we will make changes at our
other apartments to make them disabled friendly.<br />

Francesco had been instrumental in producing an exhibition
about Isis from Ancient Egyptian times till today. What happened to Egypt after
Pharaonic times? Dan Brown doesn’t get everything wrong! There is evidence of Isis
in the Islamic world. Studies in Egyptomania have increased as the influence of
Egypt is discovered. The west thinks its origins are in the Greek and Roman
world but there is more Egyptian influence than people realise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Pyramid texts have the first mention of Isis. Isis is
part of the creation myth of Atum who created Geb and Nut separated by Shu. Geb
and Nut produced Osirus, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. The iconography of Osirus
shows him mummiform, wearing the white crown flanked by two ostrich feathers
from his role in the judgement. Whereas Seth’s iconography is disputed and
confusing. Francesco says that this reflects his role as the god of chaos, his
very iconography is chaotic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story of Osirus is a Cinderella story but instead of a
shoe we have a coffin. Seth held a big banquet and a gorgeous coffin was tried
on but it fitted Osirus perfectly the lid was slammed shut and Seth deposed of
the body, both by drowning and chopping it up. This is where Isis comes into
the story. She appears as a powerful magician who reassembles Osirus and then
conceives Horus.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until the NK Isis was just a wife but from the Ramesside
period she becomes more important. In the tomb of Horemheb you can see this.
Hathor used to be the principle goddess for women but now Isis starts usurping
her iconography, the cow horns and sun disk. Hathor becomes the goddess of the
west representing dead women. In the Late period there are more examples of the
horns and sun disk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once Isis was pregnant with Horus, Seth did not give up
attacking her and trying to cause a miscarriage. <span class="st">The tyet
(Egyptian tjt), sometimes called the </span><em>knot</em><span class="st"> of </span><em>Isis</em><span class="st"> or girdle of </span><em>Isis</em><span class="st">,</span> was what she
used to protect the unborn child with magic. This knot then became used by
women 1) as a sort of Tampex (this analogy caused a great deal of amusement at
the lecture as Francesco searched for the right word) 2) to prevent
miscarriage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Magic was a bit part of Ancient Egyptian life;
after Horus was born Seth sent scorpions and snakes to attack him. This story
was carved on stele. Magic potions were created by pouring water on these texts
and drinking the water. Thus protecting the drinker</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Isis gains further magical powers when she
gets Ra to reveal his secret name. She gathered his drool and made a snake of
it. The snake attacked Ra and he begged Isis to cure him which she would only
do if he revealed his secret name. This gave her the same power of Ra which made
the most powerful goddess.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Isis was worshipped in various centres all
over Egypt. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">At Abydos Seti created various chapels and
put his own in between Isis and Osirus in the Osirus mini complex to negate the
effect his name which was based in Seth had on his legitimacy to rule.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">There is a 22<sup>nd</sup> dynasty temple to Isis
in front of the Queens pyramid at Giza that is identified as the burial place
of Isis. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">There is another location (I missed the name)
that is supposed to be her birthplace used in Ptolemaic times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">In Coptos she is identified as the wife of
Min</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">At Philae she was worshipped until 5<sup>th</sup>
century AD</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">At Meroe (Sudan) she was shown winged for
protection</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Often she can be identified by the Isis knot
at the top of her dress. In later times she is identified as the wife of
Serapis a god created by Manetho, connected with the Apis bull. Serapis was </span><span class="tgc">a Graeco-Egyptian god. The cult of <b>Serapis</b> was introduced
during the 3rd century BC on the orders of Ptolemy I of Egypt as a means to
unify the Greeks and Egyptians in his realm. The king was associated with
Serapis and his wife with Isis. This new Isis was worshipped in Alexandra and
the Fayoum. The rest of Egypt still worshipped the old Isis. The religion gets
VERY complicated in these times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="tgc">Another Isis is the harvest goddess
connected with </span><span class="st">Renenutet and Demete</span>r she was
spread by the Roman army to Athens, Ephesus and is shown wearing Roman clothes
with her Isis knot. Also associated with Sybil. Spreading to Roman</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Yet another Isis Pharos from Alexandra the Pharos
lighthouse and she is shown with flowing robes blown by the wind. In fact there
were many variations like is </span><em>Isis</em><span class="st"> Pelagia,
"</span><em>Isis</em><span class="st"> of the Sea," but there were
three main versions. The Pharaonic traditional Isis, the Ptolemaic and the Roman
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">A book Metamorphis Apolia (not sure if I got
the name right) depicted Isis but an incorrect English translations change the
depiction of Isis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">The film Cleopatra shows a fairly accurate
depiction of the arrival of Cleopatra in Rome. Rome and Italy has many mentions
of Isis like the Plaza Isis near the Colosseum and from Rome the cult of the
Roman Isis went all over the world as Serapis became the Emperor and Isis the
Empress Pompeii, Hungry, Britain anywhere the Romans went she went.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">There is an Isis linked to Sirus the star in
fact there were so many Isis when they did the exhibition they could not find
them all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Roman Isis even went back to Luxor, at Luxor
temple at the front there is a chapel to Roman Isis which was in existence at
the same time as the Pharaonic Isis at Deir El Shewit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="st">Isis even goes into Christianity and there
are depictions of the Virgin Mary with an Isis knot.</span></div>
