Macroalgae data in the Po Delta Park Dataset
No full text<p><span>The dataset provides bromatological composition in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and carotenoids of a macroalgae specie collected in two seasons (June and November 2022) from different anthropogenised locations in the geographical area of Sacca di Goro (Nothern Italian Adriatic Sea). The composition data were supported by a set of micropollutants values, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals. The macroalgae species sampled was <em>Ulva Rigida</em>. </span></p>
Démiurge au Féminin: Le Féminin dans la Création
No full textHormis Neith à Esna, les récits cosmogoniques égyptiens sont toujours le fait d’un créateur. Il est cependant bien connu que la nature du démiurge est à la fois masculine et féminine. Selon la Cosmogonie d’Héliopolis, la main —mot féminin en égyptien comme en français—, est un auxiliaire essentiel dans le processus de création, se manifestant sous l’apparence d’Hathor en ses deux formes complémentaires de Iūsācas et de Hathor–Nebethetepet. Un certain nombre de documents renvoient de façon plus ou moins explicite à la bisexualité du démiurge. Enfin, on peut ajouter à ce dossier de rares représentations de figures androgynes
The Burial Assemblage of Nesimūt (Bāb ᾿el-Gusūs, Set A.48): Usurpation or Adaptation?
No full textThe funerary assemblage of Nesimūt, an Egyptian priestess of the 21st Dynasty is discussed in this paper. The burial of Nesimūt was discovered in 1891 in the so–called «Second Cache» at Deir ᾽el‒Bahri, also known as Bāb ᾽el-Gusūs (Set A.48, after G. Daressy). The analysis of the funerary goods shows that accordingly, there were two Nesimūts, whose objects were discovered in Bāb ᾽el-Gusūs. The burial of Nesimūt II corresponds to the Set of A.48 by Daressy and is linked to a coffin case from the Odesa Archaeological Museum of the NAS of Ukraine (OAM: Inv. № 71695). Separate objects from Nesimūt I’s grave goods were adapted for later burials: the lid of her inner coffin was used for the Odesa coffin of Nesimūt II (OAM 71695), and the lid of the outer coffin might have been adapted for an anonymous burial from Bāb ᾽el-Gusūs Set A.54 (Swiss Lot IX, Neufchatel, Musée d’Ethnographie: Inv. № Eg. 184), on which the name «Nesimūt» was preserved in one segment of the lid. The burial of Nesimūt was also equipped with two different types of shabtis. It is possible that, like the lid of the coffin, part of the shabtis was «usurped» by Nesimūt II but previously belonged to the burial of her namesake and probably relative, Nesimūt I. It is quite possible, that they were reused and adopted for the burial of a new owner, together with the shabti‒box, since both of them were found in the Set A.48. This may prove that during the 21st Dynasty, not only large objects, but also small items of grave goods could be reused

Enquiry on Meritaten: The Many Aspects of an Exceptional Amarna Woman
No full textMeritaten was the eldest daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti. According to evidence, during the Amarna Age, her position at court became increasingly pivotal: starting as king’s daughter, in fact, she possibly even became pharaoh. Meritaten was mentioned in various Amarna Letters; in different depictions she took the place of Kiya, secondary wife of Akhenaten; she became Great Royal Wife of king Smenkhkarēc, and, according to some scholars, she was also the female pharaoh cAnkhetkheperurēc Neferneferūaten. Her important presence at Amarna is clearly exemplified by her depictions on the walls of the so‒called Tombs of the Nobles built in the new capital wanted by Akhenaten, where Meritaten is represented both as a young princess and a proper Great Royal Wife. Analysing the emerged evidence belonging to these burial places, this paper aims to delineate the most significant scenes where Meritaten is depicted and, consequently, the profile of one of the most central women of the Amarna Period

The Symbolism of Drinking from Tree–Goddesses in Connection with Pools: Selected Examples from the NK Theban Tombs
No full textDrinking from the tree–goddess was a religious ritual that many tomb owners tried to show. Egyptian trees took a strong part in the tree cult, and the sycamore was one of the most important of all. It is not surprising that the Egyptians believed that a goddess lived in a leafy tree with a well of water at its foot, and the syamore took a main position in Egyptian mythology. Only three sky goddesses played a major role in the tree cult, namely, Nūt, Hathor, and Isis. It will be of some interest to see how they played a crucial role in the tree cult. This paper aims to explore the symbolism of drinking from the tree–goddess in the Theban Necropolis during the New Kingdom. It will discuss the feminine role represented in the tree–goddess figure, in connection with pools and sycamores. It will also demonstrate the importance of the feminine aspect in Egyptian religion linked to the pools through symbolism, mythology and the presence of the goddesses Hathor, Nūt and Isis. The presence of the sycamore goddess, who pours libation from the waters to the T–shaped pool, seen in Theban Tomb paintings, is referenced in relation to funerary practice
La Maternité et l'Enfance dans l'Art Copte
No full textDe la naissance, en passant par la crèche et les premiers pas dans l’appartement familial, la mère prend soin de son enfant et surveille son progrès. Dès les époques primitives, un soin particulier, qui a atteint la vénération, a été accordé, en Égypte ancienne, à la femme et plus spécialement à la mère. Les papyrus découverts dans les anciennes tombes égyptiennes et, actuellement, conservés dans plusieurs musées internationaux en sont la preuve. Dans cette communication, je m’attache à mettre en évidence le sujet de la maternité et l’enfance dans l’art copte qui était, et qui est aujourd'hui, un thème d’actualité dans le monde, notamment, dans les sociétés orientales et surtout en Égypte. La décoration copte de plusieurs collections artistiques, datées des époques chrétiennes primitives en Égypte, comporte plusieurs scènes empruntées de la Bible, particulièrement, des Cycles Mariologiques et Christologiques et qui sont en rapport la maternité et l’enfance. L’iconographie de quelques religieuses et martyres coptes est en relation directe avec ce sujet social et artistique. Comment sont les mères et les enfants représentés dans l’art copte? Est-ce que les mères sont montrées seules? Y a-t-il des scènes et des figures qui représentent les enfants seulement sans leurs parents? Quelles sont les étapes de l’enfance enregistrées par l’artiste copte? Y a-t-il d’autres éléments décoratifs qui apparaissent dans les scènes de la maternité et l’enfance dans l’art copte tels que les motifs floraux et géométriques, les symboles chrétiens et les inscriptions grecques, coptes, arméniennes, syriaques et arabes? À toutes ces questions, nous répondrons en détails pour donner une idée complète aux lecteurs, aux chercheurs et aux spécialistes de la Coptologie à travers les études analytiques et comparatives
