DESCRIPTION:IL.\n\nTemples in the Farthest South. Natakamani and Amanitore 
 at Wad Ben Naga\, Sudan\n\nPavel Onderka\nCurator of Egyptian and Nubian A
 ntiquities\nHead of the Archeological Expedition to Wad Ben Naga\nNational
  Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian\, African and American Cultures\, Pr
 ague\n\nOver the past 15 years\, the Archaeological Expedition to Wad Ben 
 Naga (National Museum\, Prague) uncovered two temples built by King Nataka
 mani and Queen Amanitore\, who ruled over the Kingdom of Kush in the mid-f
 irst century CE. One temple\, known as the Typhonium (WBN 200)\, was dedic
 ated to the goddess Mut in her capacity of the Distant Goddess\, and sough
 t inspiration in the rock-cut temple of Mut (B 300) built by King Taharqo 
 (ruled 690–664 BCE) at the foot of Jebel Barkal. The other temple\, know
 n as the Isis Temple (WBN 300)\, was designed as a Meroitic copy of the Gr
 eat Temple of Isis on the Island of Philae. During the temple’s excavati
 ons\, one of the most extensive collections of texts in Egyptian language 
 and script from the Meroitic period (270 BCE – 330 CE) was discovered. W
 hen combined\, texts\, decorative program\, temple equipment and architect
 ure of the two temples provide a complex insight into the religious and id
 eological program of the royal couple and shed light on political processe
 s underway during their reign.\n\nIn person and online: Registrants will r
 eceive a Zoom link upon registration. The lecture will be recorded.
