Essay: You will choose one out of a selection two of the following essays (40 points). For the maximum score, be sure to use specific examples drawn from the textbooks as well as lecture. You should focus on the second half of class, but may need to draw upon the first half for the best answer.

  1. How were ancient Egyptian deities represented (e.g.: human, animal, other)? How do these representations reflect the ancient religious concepts of aspect and manifestation? How did art and magic overlap?
  2. Compare and contrast the state cults with private worship. Be sure to consider the different deities involved, as well as the sacred spaces and manner of worship for each sphere.
  3. What were the fundamental myths in Egyptian theology? What impact did they have on the layout and decoration of temples and tombs?
  4. What are the different parts of the soul? What kind of grave goods and tomb chapel scenes went with each?
  5. How did private burials evolve from the Old Kingdom to the Greco-Roman period. How was this related to the “Democratization of the Afterlife.”
  6. What did Wilson say about Egyptian urbanism? What were the strengths and weaknesses of his argument? What was the nature of Egyptian urbanism? Be sure to consider the archaeological evidence discussed by Kemp and in lecture.
  7. Describe the organization and layout of the city of Amarna. Compare and contrast the activities revealed through archaeology in the city center and the suburbs.
  8. Characterize formalist and substantivist approaches to ancient economies. How do they apply to ancient Egypt? What did the state control in the economy? How was private demand met? Compare and contrast Kemp’s and Janssen’s views. Be sure to consider the mechanisms for exchanging goods in an economy without money.
  9. Compare and contrast the Kerma and Napatan civilizations. What forces stimulated the rise dramatic rise of each? To what extent did they imitate Egypt and to what extent was their achievement an adaptive transculturation or ethnogenesis?
  10. What is Egypt’s contribution to the emergence of Western civilization? Be sure to consider Bernal’s Black Athena diffusionist theory and Egyptian influences on Hellenistic civilization and the impact of ancient Egypt on Western Philosophy and Judeo-Christian theology.
