Description


M/B 3D16.1 Have a nice week !!! Thanks for your visits and comments ! Saqqarah (ou Saqqara ou Sakkarah) est une vaste nécropole de la région de Memphis. Elle connut une occupation ininterrompue tout au long de l'histoire de l'Égypte antique. Dès les premières dynasties les rois y firent bâtir leur mastaba et c'est là que la première pyramide fut édifiée par Imhotep, l'architecte de Djéser (IIIe dynastie) vers -2600. Il est convenu de dire qu'il s'agit là du premier édifice en pierre que l'Égypte connut. Vaste enceinte enfermant des cours et répliques de temples de l'époque nous laissent un témoignage pétrifié inestimable des sanctuaires des premiers temps. Nécropole royale sous l'Ancien Empire, le site se développa autour des pyramides royales des Ve et VIe dynasties. De nombreux mastaba de cette époque nous sont parvenus contenant des reliefs d'une qualité parfaite décrivant la vie quotidienne de l'Égypte antique. Sous le Nouvel Empire, avec le renouveau de la ville de Memphis pendant les XVIIIe et XIXe dynasties égyptiennes, les nobles et courtisans se firent à nouveau inhumer à Saqqarah, dans des tombeaux surmontés par de véritables temples-chapelles funéraires. L'un des plus célèbres est celui qu'Horemheb s'était fait construire avant même qu'il soit couronné pharaon. Les reliefs de cette chapelle le représentent en général doté de l'uræus royal, indiquant ainsi son avenir hors du commun. C'est aussi à Saqqarah que l'on trouve les tombes des taureaux sacrés Apis dont le culte était rendu à Memphis. Inauguré à la XVIIIe dynastie, le Sérapéum se développa surtout sous les ramessides. Le fils de Ramsès II, Khâemouaset, grand prêtre de Ptah, passé à la postérité par des légendes le qualifiant de grand magicien, laissa des stèles et inscriptions relatant la restauration des tombes d'Apis ainsi que l'inauguration de la grande catacombe qui ne cessa alors de s'agrandir pour accueillir les dépouilles momifiées des taureaux sacrés. Mort avant son père, Khâemouaset fut enterré dans le Sérapéum. Sakkara (Saqqara or Sakkara or) is a vast necropolis of Memphis. She had a continuous occupation throughout the history of ancient Egypt. From the earliest dynasties, the kings did build their mastaba and that is where the first pyramid was built by Imhotep, the architect of Djoser (Third Dynasty) to -2600. It was agreed to say that this is the first stone structure that Egypt knew. Large enclosure enclosing classes and replicas of temples of the time we left an invaluable testimony petrified shrines of the first time. Royal Necropolis during the Old Kingdom, the site grew up around the royal pyramids of the Vth and VIth dynasties. Many mastaba of the time we arrived containing reliefs of perfect quality describing the daily life of ancient Egypt. In the New Kingdom, with the renewal of the city of Memphis during the eighteenth and nineteenth Egyptian dynasties, the nobles and courtiers became again buried at Saqqara in tombs topped by real-temple mortuary chapels. One of the most famous is that Horemheb had built before he was crowned pharaoh. The reliefs of the chapel represent the general features of the Royal uraeus, indicating his future out of the ordinary. Saqqara is also found the tombs of the sacred Apis bulls whose cult was made in Memphis. Inaugurated at the XVIIIth Dynasty, the Serapeum developed mainly in the Ramesside. The son of Ramses II, Khâemuaset, High Priest of Ptah, on the world stage by calling him a legend great magician, left steles and inscriptions describing the restoration of the tombs of Apis and the inauguration of the great catacomb that then ceased to grow to accommodate the mummified remains of sacred bulls. Died before his father was buried in the Khâemuaset Serapeum.

Une autre formidable et fantastique architecture auprès de laquelle les palais des Civilisations Antiques font piètre figure !! Une image en Noir et Or : ces couleurs rappellent les statues Egyptiennes de basalte noir aux ornements d'or...L'image me fait aussi penser aux décors des tableaux de Gustave Moreau et à la richesse de ses textures en relief !! Magnifique création, Claude !! Bravo !!
