古埃及早期王权发展与地方标志性建筑的关系——以埃里芬梯尼城为例

The Relationship between the Development of Kingship and Local Landmarks in Early Ancient Egypt:A Case Study of Elephantine

对古埃及王权的研究,学界往往侧重于对其神圣性,以及与其有关的符号和文字进行讨论,而较少关注与其自身及发展有关的建筑物。位于埃及南部边境的埃里芬梯尼城,无论是从其位置还是自身所拥有的条件来看,都具有较大的研究价值和讨论空间。因此,本文通过研究早王朝时期到古王国末期时期埃里芬梯尼城中标志性建筑的发展与演变,试图从王权意识形态的表现方式、王权在经济属性上的要求以及王权自身的崩溃所带来的影响等几个方面,探讨王权如何影响地方标志性建筑的发展,以期廓清王权与地方标志性建筑发展之间的关系。

Scholarly studies of ancient Egyptian kingship have tended to focus on the symbols,texts and manifestations of kingship’s sacredness,and less on the architecture associated with the kingship itself and its development,particularly in the border areas away from the capital.Elephantine,on the southern border of Egypt,is an excellent example of this,both in terms of its location and in terms of the conditions it possessed.This paper therefore examines the development and evolution of landmarks on the island of Elephantine from the Early Dynastic period to the end of the Old Kingdom in an attempt to explore how kingship influenced the development of local landmarks in terms of its ideological manifestations,the demands of kingship in terms of economic attributes and the impact of the collapse of kingship itself,in order to gain a clear understanding of how kingship influenced the development of local landmarks.The purpose is to gain a clear understanding of how kingship influenced the development of local landmarks.
