    Amenhotep IV began his reign with a massive building project at Karnak, the centre of the cult of Amun. It is believed by archaeologist Jacobus Van Dijk, that these temples were “situated to the east of the Amun precinct and orientated to the east – that is, to the place of sunrise”. Surprisingly, these temples were not dedicated to Amun, but to a new form of the sun-god whose official name was ‘The living one, Ra-horus of the horizon who rejoices in the horizion in his identity of light which is in sun-disc’ which was most basically simplified to ‘the…

    As a general rule in Ancient Egyptian art, less respected people were portrayed with more realistic figures. In addition, the rarity of the materials used corresponded to the prestige of the person in question. Their status was also reinforced through the presence of various symbols and scale, especially in the case of god-kings. For example, the depictions seen in Khafre Enthroned, Seated Scribe, and Akhenaton from the temple of Aton reveal the respect received by the works’ subjects through these previously mentioned attributes.…

    Akhenaton (Amenhotep IV) was an eighteenth dynasty pharaoh who is known for his attempt to change Egyptian culture and religion. As the younger son of Amenhotep III, he would have not been pharaoh but when his elder brother (crown prince Thutmose) died he had a claim for the thrown and became the Pharaoh of Egypt. Akhenaton had many wives and fathered many children. His wives (or consorts) include Nefertiti and Kiya; some Egyptologists suggest that (like his father) Akhenaton may have taken some daughters as wives or consorts. Akhenaton’s known children are: Tutankhaten (later known as Tuankhamun and King Tut), Smenkhkare, Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenpaaten (later wife of Tuankhamun), Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure and…

    Stunning scenes of landscapes, trees, and clouds fill the scenes of The Revenant. Snow fills the open-void of the wilderness and sunlight bleeds through the spaces between the tall, dark trees. The camera mainly focuses on Hugh Glass as he attempts to take his revenge upon John Fitzgerald, who murdered Hugh’s son. The camera pans smoothly during calm shots of vistas and nature, while the camera rapidly shakes during the intense attacks of the Native Americans. Rivers flow smoothly, and in some shots, Hugh’s fearful, beaten face fills the frame as he struggles to evade the threats of Native Americans. The contrasting nature of the scenes in The Revenant is effective in immersing the viewers in the environment, portraying a message of conservation, and developing a captivating, simplistic storyline.…

    In ancient Egypt, hierarchy was glorified to signify the contribution and power they had. In the statue “Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty,” the artist portrays these traits through an authoritative vision of the figure. He illustrates this image from the simplistic posture of the individual rather then elaborating on jewelry or clothes. The artist creates these two individual of royalty under one strong power, were the male figure represent authority and is supported by the naturalistic female queen, which is slightly less powering.…

    In Egypt's New Kingdom, the role of queens during the reign of Amenhotep 3 and Akhenaten significantly transformed from the confinements of their traditional roles as passive heirs to the throne who provided a divine consort for the king.

    To the average “peasant” the Pharaoh was a demigod, but to the various officers and political figures surrounding him he was no more than a man with power, and not even supreme power. This is immediately evident in the first narrative with the high priest of Amun, who from the very beginning (since Akhenaten was young) disdained the prince due to his physical appearance. As Akhenaten grew older and continued to stray from the required religious traditions the high priest had multiple meetings with Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye to chastise the prince’s upbringing, which displays the high priest’s view of the Pharaoh: not as an infallible demigod, but as merely a man who makes mistakes when raising his son. Likewise, this displays a “weakness” in the power of the Pharaoh; though he is king, he is still subject to the rule of Amun and the high priests. The various individuals Meriamun interviews themselves represent the different positions surrounding the Pharaoh: chief of police, general of the army, minister of the state, sculptor/architect, high priest (Amun and the One God), etc. Every narration includes brief descriptions of how they performed their duties, and in this manner Mahfouz gives the reader an idea of the day to day functions of the Egyptian…

    Sarah Barnard HIST1108 Professor Murphy October 2014 CREATIVE TITLE Life was going decently well in Egypt under the rule of Amenhotep III, however not all good things last forever, and when he passed away, his oldest living son, Amenhotep IV, took the throne. His subjects were not prepared for what was to occur in the coming years under the new ruler. The beginning of Amenhotep IV’s reign didn’t hold too many changes but as the years progressed, one by one, transformations to the Egyptian way of life (religion especially) began to take place. These changes that were initiated were not only in religion, but in art, writing, politics, architecture, and all were based on his new philosophy.…

    The Big Lebowski (1998) by the Coen Brothers is no doubt a comedy film about friendships between three bowling buddies with differing personalities who met and stuck together as friends by choice in Los Angeles when the U.S. army invaded the Middle East. The Coen Brothers managed to capture the spirit of friendship bonding, conflicts, characters’ internal struggles as well as personal desires with exceptional cinematography and mise-en-scene through a plot that went from western to Film Noir. There is a cleverly placed contrast between violence, kidnapping, femme fatales and other dark elements that do not really go with the sunny, carefree impression of L.A. where the story is set in. Such metaphorically structured contrasts along with well-constructed dialogues between three characters from varying backgrounds bring out the contradictory nature of how the Dude (Jeff Bridges), a bearded, unemployed long-haired hippie who did not care much about this world that lived in a dressing gown met his two best friends Walter Sobchak (John Goodman), a Vietnam vet who could not move on from the war period and Donny Kerabatsos (Steve Buscemi), a bland character that got ignored most of the time, who all lived with the shadow of intergeneration give-and-take hovering yet still managed to stay committed to their friendships even when they have their own burdens to deal with in life. The ending scene of The Big Lebowski where the Dude and Walter scattered Donny’s ashes pleasantly reflected what seems to be delicate but actually strong bonds of relationships between the three main characters.…
