RECOMMENDATION
Basic knowledge of ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, as well as Middle Egyptian, is highly recommended.


COURSE SUMMARY
The main goal of the seminar is to present students with an introduction into specific, more advanced topics of ancient Egyptian religion, which already require some knowledge and pre-understanding, as are for instance the topics of mutual interaction between royal ideology and local divine cults or of continuity and change in religious beliefs. The activities will be centred around Egyptian iconography, the meaning of specific scenes, visual and textual puns and their interpretation. Within the seminar, the students will work with primary ancient Egyptian sources, which they shall analyse and interpret in group, as well as with up-to-date scholarly literature, which will be discussed in the class.
