7. Symposium Zur Konigsideologie / 7th Symposium on Egyptian Royal Ideology ─ Royal Versus Divine Authority: Acquisition, Legitimization and Renewal of Power Prague, June 26-28, 2013

Of the 18 presentations at the June 2013 symposium held in Prague, 14 appear here. Among their topics are an image of the Egyptian king according to non-Egyptian evidence, the Egyptian "re-conquest of Nubia" in the New Kingdom--some thoughts on the legitimization of pharaonic power in the south, the cultic relationship of the Menkaure Triads to the small step pyramids, legitimization through innovative tradition--perspectives on the use of old models in royal and private monuments during the Third Intermediate Period, whether the South-Saqqara circumcision scene is a fragment of an Old Kingdom birth legend, and sanctuary meret and the royal cult.
