Description King Horemheb Other than the fact that Horemheb came from Herakleopolis near the entrance to the Fayoum, little else is known about the background of this pharaoh that we place as the last king of Egypt's important 18th Dynasty ( New Kingdom). His parentage is completely unknown. Horemheb obviously showed a very early gift as a military officer, first probably serving under Amenhotep III. Later, in the reign of Akhenaten, he became Great Commander of the Army. During the reign of Tutankhamun, he became King's Deputy (and very likely regent), and May, together with Ay, been responsible for governing Egypt in the background during Tutankhamun's reign. During Tutankhamun's reign, Horemheb evidently enjoyed considerably more freedom then he had under Akhenaten, for he was apparently able to conduct at least some military actions in Syria, where Egypt had lost considerable territory to the Hittites. It is also very possible that Ay or Horemheb had Tutankhamun murdered when that king grew near adulthood and hence, independent rule. However, at the time of Tutankhamun's death, Egypt was engaged in a fairly major confrontation with the Hittites that ended in a defeat at Amqa not far from Kadesh. Though we do not know whether Horemheb was leading the Egyptian troops in this battle, he appears to have been not much involved in Tutankhamun's funerary arrangements despite his high position may suggest that he was out of the country at this time. It may also explain Ay's ascent to the throne at that time. The pharaoh's birth name and epithet was Horemheb meryamun, meaning "Horus is in Jubilation, Beloved of Amun". His name is also sometimes spelled Horemhab, or Haremhab. His throne name was Djeserkheperure Setepenre, meaning "Holy are the Minifestations of Re, Chosen of Re". Ushabti Shabti literally translated it means "to answer." It is a small Mummiform figure placed in tombs to do work in the afterlife on behalf of the deceased. In some tombs of the late New Kingdom whole gangs of ushabti workers were included with different tools for doing different work. A complete collection would consist of 401 Ushabti: one for each day of the year, 365 plus 36 foremen. Ushabti, shawabtis or Shabties, first appeared on the ancient Egyptian scene in the Middle Kingdom around 2000 B.C.E. Ushabti are small funerary collectibles, which were covered with a person in order to act as a worker in the afterworld in place of the deceased. These highly stylized funeral collectibles commonly represent a body prepared in the traditional Egyptian way, with its arms crossed holding Egyptian artifacts and a head piece adorning the face of the ushabti. The backs of these small collectibles are usually designed with a seed pouch slung over the shoulder and with tools to propagate and reap the fields of the afterworld. While most of these small statuettes bear the personalized artistic conventions of the region they were produced in, they almost always contain burial inscriptions on the front. The inscription on a 26th dynasty (663-525 B.C.E.) Ushabti translates: "The shining forward of the Osiris”. Ushabti, if it is decreed that Osiris is to do work any there is in the afterlife, cast down the obstacles in front of this man. Take a look at me (whenever) you (the Ushabti) are called. Be watchful at any moment to work there. To plough the fields to water and (carry) the sand to the east, to the west. Regard me whenever called. Payments We accept PayPal payments Only.
