Behbeit El Hagar (Ancient Egyptian: Pr-ḥꜣbyt(.t), lit. 'house of festival hall', Coptic: ⲡⲁϩⲃⲉⲓⲑⲓⲟⲥ, Ancient Greek: Πααβηιθις [1]) is a village and an archaeological site in Lower Egypt that contains the remains of an ancient Egyptian temple to the goddess Isis, known as the Iseion.
Isis was also sometimes said to have learned her wisdom from, or even be the daughter of, Thoth, the Egyptian god of writing and knowledge, who was known in the Greco-Roman world as Hermes Trismegistus. [183] [184] Isis also had an extensive network of connections with Greek and Roman deities, as well as some from other cultures.
Iset Ta-Hemdjert or Isis Ta-Hemdjert, simply called Isis in her tomb, was an ancient Egyptian queen of the Twentieth Dynasty; the Great Royal Wife of Ramesses III and the Royal Mother of Ramesses VI. [2] She was probably of Asian origin; her mother's name Hemdjert (or Habadjilat or Hebnerdjent) is not an Egyptian name but a Syrian one. [3]
Ranefer or Ranofer (fl. c. 2500 BC) was a High Priest of Ptah, who lived at the beginning of the Fifth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. His name means "Ra is beautiful". His main title was "greatest of the directors of craftsmen belonging to the day of festival". [1] This is a variation of the title normally assigned to the high priest of Ptah.
Isesi-ankh (transliteration Izzi-ˁnḫ; fl. c. 2375 BC [1]) was an ancient Egyptian high official during the second half of the Fifth Dynasty, in the late 25th to mid 24th century BC. His name means "Isesi lives". He may have been a son of king Isesi and queen Meresankh IV, although this is debated.
Osiris is otherwise not well attested in the Fifth Dynasty and there is a scholarly debate going on, about the first mentioning of Osiris in Ancient Egyptian sources. Depending on the life time of Ptahshepses, his inscriptions might be the earliest evidence for this deity. However, it is also possible that Ptahshepses died after Niuserre. [3]
Djedkare Isesi (known in Greek as Tancheres; died c. 2375 BC) was a king, the eighth and penultimate ruler of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt in the late 25th century to mid-24th century BC, during the Old Kingdom.
Ptahhotep was the city administrator and vizier (first minister) during the reign of King Djedkare Isesi in the Fifth Dynasty. He had a son named Akhethetep, who was also a vizier. He and his descendants were buried at Saqqara. Ptahhotep's tomb is located in a mastaba in North Saqqara (Mastaba D62).
