Amun-Ra in this period 16th to 11th centuries BC held the position of transcendental , self-created [2] creator deity "par excellence", he was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety.

With Osiris , Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods. As the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire , Amun-Ra also came to be worshipped outside Egypt, according to the testimony of ancient Greek historiographers in Libya and Nubia.

As Zeus Ammon he came to be identified with Zeus in Greece. Amun rose to the position of tutelary deity of Thebes after the end of the First Intermediate Period , under the 11th dynasty. As the patron of Thebes, his spouse was Mut. The city of Thebes does not appear to have been of great significance before the 11th dynasty.

Major construction work in the Precinct of Amun-Re took place during the 18th dynasty when Thebes became the capital of the unified ancient Egypt. Construction of the Hypostyle Hall may have also begun during the 18th dynasty, though most building was undertaken under Seti I and Ramesses II. Merenptah commemorated his victories over the Sea Peoples on the walls of the Cachette Court , the start of the processional route to the Luxor Temple.

This Great Inscription which has now lost about a third of its content shows the king's campaigns and eventual return with items of potential value and prisoners. Next to this inscription is the Victory Stela , which is largely a copy of the more famous Israel Stela found in the funerary complex of Merenptah on the west bank of the Nile in Thebes.

This was constructed of sandstone, with a chapel to Amun flanked by those of Mut and Khonsu. When the army of the founder of the Eighteenth dynasty expelled the Hyksos rulers from Egypt, the victor's city of origin, Thebes , became the most important city in Egypt, the capital of a new dynasty.

The local patron deity of Thebes, Amun, therefore became nationally important. The pharaohs of that new dynasty attributed all their successful enterprises to Amun, and they lavished much of their wealth and captured spoil on the construction of temples dedicated to Amun. The victory accomplished by pharaohs who worshipped Amun against the "foreign rulers", brought him to be seen as a champion of the less fortunate , upholding the rights of justice for the poor. Since he upheld Ma'at truth, justice, and goodness , [3] those who prayed to Amun were required first to demonstrate that they were worthy by confessing their sins.

Votive stelae from the artisans' village at Deir el-Medina record:. You are Amun, the Lord of the silent, who comes at the voice of the poor; when I call to you in my distress You come and rescue me Though the servant was disposed to do evil, the Lord is disposed to forgive. The Lord of Thebes spends not a whole day in anger; His wrath passes in a moment; none remains. His breath comes back to us in mercy.. May your ka be kind; may you forgive; It shall not happen again. Subsequently, when Egypt conquered Kush , they identified the chief deity of the Kushites as Amun.

This Kush deity was depicted as ram -headed, more specifically a woolly ram with curved horns. Amun thus became associated with the ram arising from the aged appearance of the Kush ram deity. A solar deity in the form of a ram can be traced to the pre-literate Kerma culture in Nubia, contemporary to the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

Since rams were considered a symbol of virility, Amun also became thought of as a fertility deity, and so started to absorb the identity of Min , becoming Amun-Min. This association with virility led to Amun-Min gaining the epithet Kamutef , meaning Bull of his mother , [9] in which form he was found depicted on the walls of Karnak , ithyphallic , and with a scourge , as Min was.

As the cult of Amun grew in importance, Amun became identified with the chief deity who was worshipped in other areas during that period, the sun god Ra. This identification led to another merger of identities, with Amun becoming Amun-Ra. In the Hymn to Amun-Ra he is described as. During the latter part of the eighteenth dynasty , the pharaoh Akhenaten also known as Amenhotep IV disliked the power of the temple of Amun and advanced the worship of the Aten , a deity whose power was manifested in the sun disk, both literally and symbolically. He defaced the symbols of many of the old deities, and based his religious practices upon the deity, the Aten.

He moved his capital away from Thebes, but this abrupt change was very unpopular with the priests of Amun, who now found themselves without any of their former power. The religion of Egypt was inexorably tied to the leadership of the country, the pharaoh being the leader of both.

The pharaoh was the highest priest in the temple of the capital, and the next lower level of religious leaders were important advisers to the pharaoh, many being administrators of the bureaucracy that ran the country. The introduction of Atenism under Akhenaton constructed a monotheist worship of Aten in direct competition with that of Amun. Praises of Amun on stelae are strikingly similar in language to those later used, in particular the Hymn to the Aten:. Each participating observatory agrees to make a best effort to establish efficient communication of these data.

Additionally, participants will also be asked to provide and process test events and alerts events and alerts that are highly unlikely to be of astrophysical origin , time- or position-scrambled archival data, system heartbeats and handshakes.

For each AMON alert issued, the triggering observatories are required to check their data for errors and sign off on it within a specified time period. The follow-up observatories are required to issue a short report e. This time period may vary as a function of the analysis algorithm underlying the alert. In phases 2 and 3 of AMON, when an alert is determined to be of high significance it will initially be sent only to the participating triggering and follow-up observatories via private channels in the Gamma-ray Bursts Coordinates Network GCN.

By default, this initial version of the alert will not contain information about which observatories triggered, unless prior agreement has been reached otherwise. That information can be released in an updated version of the alert, after participants have had an opportunity to confer. For each potential discovery, a team that includes representatives from each contributing observatory will confer to decide when and how to make the data public. If a unanimous decision is reached, the representatives may then request additional time to confer with colleagues in their respective collaborations.

The length of this additional time period must be decided in advance and may be different for different alerts.

The AMON team will keep track of this information in a location accessible to all observatories participating in the alert. If unanimity remains, the alert will be approved and released by the participating observatories with help from the AMON development team. In phases 2 and 3 of AMON, this process will include revealing which observatories triggered. Where a unanimous decision cannot be reached, data from the dissenting observatories will be removed from the coincidence analysis.

If the subsequent alert is still of sufficient significance, it may be released without reference to the excluded data. Those observatories that did not participate in the alert may release their data independently, subject to the confidentiality conditions listed above. The data release procedure is illustrated in Fig. A list of rules for data release is also provided below. These rules apply to all triggering and follow-up observatories that have signed the AMON MoU, for results produced via archival or real-time analysis. Data release during all phases of AMON will be carefully controlled.

A cluster of events results in an AMON-generated alert which, if determined to be of high significance, is a candidate for immediate internal non-public distribution via GCN. Delayed events can subsequently be added to the analysis, enabling a review of whether an alert is of high enough significance for distribution. The initial in-network versions of the alert contain no reference to the triggering channels. However, high-significance alerts will initiate an immediate discussion within the AMON consortium, with the goal of releasing that information as soon as possible.
