45、及古代史，把埃及古代史分为分为31个王朝。第个王朝。第1、2王朝习惯上被称为早王朝时代（约前王朝习惯上被称为早王朝时代（约前3100前前2686）。传说）。传说美尼斯美尼斯统一上、统一上、下埃及下埃及，成为第，成为第1王朝的第一位国王。王朝的第一位国王。古埃及真正的统一是在古王国时代古埃及真正的统一是在古王国时代(第第36王朝，约前王朝，约前2686前前2181)。这是古埃及史上农业、手工业、商业、建筑业等各项事业全面。这是古埃及史上农业、手工业、商业、建筑业等各项事业全面发展的第一个伟大时代。随着各州的被兼并，形成了统一发展的第一个伟大时代。随着各州的被兼并，形成了统一奴隶制国家奴隶制国家，
46、政权机构加强，确立了以官僚体制为基础的、君主独裁的专制统治。奴政权机构加强，确立了以官僚体制为基础的、君主独裁的专制统治。奴隶主专制君主被称为神之子或神的化身，不仅在今世，而且在来世也要隶主专制君主被称为神之子或神的化身，不仅在今世，而且在来世也要维持其统治地位，因此他们生前就为自己建造地下世界的维持其统治地位，因此他们生前就为自己建造地下世界的“永恒之宫永恒之宫”金字塔金字塔。除专制君主外，奴隶主阶级还包括贵族官吏、神庙僧侣。除专制君主外，奴隶主阶级还包括贵族官吏、神庙僧侣等。他们不仅占有等。他们不仅占有奴隶奴隶，而且依靠国家政权压榨剥削农民、手工业者等，而且依靠国家政权压榨剥削农民、手工业

49、众。古埃及人相信身边万物皆有神灵相附，如大地、空气、河流、天空、太阳、月亮、动物和植物，这些神灵是有形的，或为动物、或为动物首人身。古埃及人相信人类无法超越大自然的威力和能量，他们将这种来自大自然的力量视为神，敬之畏之，以求平安。阿蒙阿蒙 Amon 底比斯的主神，因底比斯的兴起而底比斯的主神，因底比斯的兴起而成为国家的主神。这个名字意指成为国家的主神。这个名字意指“The Hidden One”，圣兽是鹅和公羊。，圣兽是鹅和公羊。拉（Ra）：即太阳神，众神之王，万神之源，后与其他太阳神（主要是阿蒙Amum）合并，成为世界的主宰神阿蒙拉Amum-Ra（可能源于埃及统一的背景）。舒（Shu）：风神
50、，拉的儿子，古埃及人认为太阳带来了风。舒是阿图姆透过他的呼息创造出来的。他与自己的姐妹泰芙努特结婚生努特和盖布。泰芙努特（Tefnut）：雨神，拉的女儿，同时也是舒的妻子（近亲结婚）。她是拉用自己的精液或分泌物(mucus)创造出来的。她与自己的兄弟舒结婚，生盖布和努特。盖布（Geb）：大地之神，舒和泰夫努特的儿子，拉的孙子。古埃及的这一信仰与世界的其他地区有所不同。在其他的神话中，大地之神往往表现为女神。盖布的形象为鹅头人身，身体呈绿色或黑色。盖布关押着邪恶的人的灵魂，使他们无法进入天堂。盖布与努特结婚生了欧西里斯、艾西斯、赛特和奈芙蒂斯。努特（Nut）：天神，舒和泰芙努特的女儿，拉的孙女，
51、同时也是盖布的妻子（又近亲结婚）。相较于其他神话中常以男性形象出现的天神，努特是一位女神。太阳神拉每晚日落后进入她的口中，第二天早晨又从她的阴门中重生。她同时也如此吞咽和再生着星辰。努特同时也是死亡女神，大多数石棺（sarcophagus）的内壁上都绘有她的形象。法老死后会进入她的身体，不久后便会重生。在艺术作品中，努特的形象是一位被舒支撑着，以星辰遮身的裸体女性；在她（天空）的对面是她的丈夫盖布（大地）。欧西里斯（Osiris）：冥王和农神，盖布和努特之子。他是一位反复重生的神，而他身上的绿色皮肤就有这种意思。他最后被埋在阿拜多斯（Abydos）城，是那里的守护神。一般在壁画中，若脸上涂有绿
52、色颜料，则表是在复活中或已经复活。他的崇拜仪式起于阿拜多斯（Abydos），因此那里有许多他的神庙。从十八王朝开始，他可能是最广泛被崇拜的神祇。lOsiris是非常具有智能的精神领袖，象征智能及死后重生，Osiris与妻子Isis的爱情神话非常著名，他们是Nut（母亲）和Geb（父亲）的孩子，是兄妹也是夫妻。这对灵魂伴侣最深的爱恋故事包括了生死、复仇、不灭的爱和身体重组等疗愈故事，是埃及神话中最广为流传的生死秘义启发。欧西里斯通常以一个蓄有胡子、头上戴着北方之冠，手持令牌、曲柄杖和连枷的男性木乃伊状人形为代表。埃及九柱之神lHorus(哈默迪)是荷鲁斯最早的一个版本，他是一位猎鹰形态的造物神。
53、他的眼睛是太阳和月亮。当新月出现时，他就成了一个瞎子，称作Mekhenty-er-irty ，意思是没有法老眼睛的人，而当他的视力恢复时，他又被称作Khenty-irty意思是有眼睛的人。眼盲时的荷鲁斯时非常危险的，他有时会将朋友误认为敌人并发起攻击。他是奥西里斯与伊西斯的儿子，是莱托波里斯的守护神。l阿努比斯阿努比斯 Anubis 古代埃及神话传说中一位豺头人身的神明，是欧斯瑞斯（Osiris）的儿子，是引导人们死后的亡灵们来到地府接受审判，并测量亡灵的心脏有多重，以分辨在生前所做的好事、坏事之多寡。Sentence dictationl1.

56、Exercise D After-listening Discussion lDirections: Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions. l1.The last Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, tried her best to save the country when the Romans came in the year 39 B. C. Her beauty and charm were more dangerous to the Roman generals than
57、half a dozen Egyptian army corps. She was successful twice in her attacks upon the hearts of her Roman conquerors. In the year 30 B.C., Augustus landed in Alexandria and destroyed her armies. She killed herself by taking poison. l2(Open)lThe Nile River was a kind friend but occasionally it was a har
58、d taskmaster. It taught the people who lived along its banks the noble art of “teamwork”. They depended upon each other to build their irrigation trenches and keep their dikes in repair. In this way they learned how to get along with their neighbors and their mutual-benefit-association quite easily
59、developed into an organized state.lThen one man grew more powerful than most of his neighbors and he became the leader of the community and their commander in-chief whenthe envious neighbors of western Asia invaded the prosperous valley. In due course of time he became their king and ruled all the l
60、and from the Mediterranean to the mountains of the west.lBut these political adventures of the old pharohs (the word meant”the Man who lived in the Big House”) rarely interested the patient and toiling peasant of the grain fields. Provided he was not obliged to pay more taxes to his King than he tho
61、ught just, he accepted the rule of pharaoh as accepted the rule of Mighty Osiris. the Hyksos were driven out of the country and Egypt was free once more. lIt was different however when a foreign invader came and robbed him of his possessions. After twenty centuries of independent life, a savage Arab
62、 tribe of shepherds, called the Hyksos, attacked Egypt and for five hundred years they were the masters of the valley of the Nile. They were highly unpopular and great hate was also left for the Hebrews who came to the land of Goshen to find a shelter after their long wandering through the desert an
63、d who helped the foreign usurper by acting as his tax-gatherers and his civil servants.But shortly after the year 1700 B.C., the people of Thebes began a revolution and after a long struggle the Hyksos were driven out of the country and Egypt was free once more.A thousand years later, when Assyria c
64、onquered all of western Asia, Egypt became part of the empire of Sardanapalus. In the seventh century B.C., it became once more an independent state which obeyed the rule of a king who lived in the city of Sais in the Delta of the Nile. But in the year 525B.C.,Cambyses, the king of the Perisans, too
65、k possession of Egypt and in the fourth century B.C., when Persia was conquered by Alexander the Great, Egypt too became a Macedonian province. It gained a semblance of independence when one of Alexanders generals set himself up as king of a new Egyptian state and founded the dynasty of the Ptolemie
66、s, who resided in the newly built city of Alexandria.Finally, in the year 39B.C.,the Romans came. The last Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, tried her best to save the country. Her beauty and charm were more dangerous to the Roman generals than half a dozen Egyptian army corps. Twice she was successful in
67、her attacks upon the hearts of her Roman conquerors. But in the year 30B.C., Augustus, the nephew and heir of Caesar, landed in Alexandria. He destroyed her armies, but spared her life that he might make her march in his triumph as part of the spoils of war, When Cleopatra heard of this plan, she killed herself by taking poison. And Egypt became a Roman province.
