- Title
UDJAHORRESNET AND THE ROYAL NAME OF CAMBYSES: THE "DERIVATIVE SACRALITY" OF ACHAEMENIDS IN EGYPT.
- Authors
Ladynin, Ivan
- Abstract
The article deals with a well-known fragment of Udjahorresnet's autobiography describing his compiling an Egyptian royal titulary for Cambyses after his appearance in Egypt and Udjahorresnet's elevation at his court. A comparison of Cambyses' and Darius' I solar prenomina (Mzwty-Ra and Ztwt-Ra, which can be understood as "the image of Re" and "the likeness of Re") and an interpretation of the Fayum stela Berlin ÄS 7493 depicting Darius I in the image of the falcon Horus leads one to suspect that the theory finding an excuse to the rule of Achaemenids in Egypt postulated their "deriving" their qualities of sacral ritual rulers from gods incorporated in them. This theory must have been forwarded in Udjahorresnet's time by his party loyal to the Persian rule.98,
