This paper presents the most up to date discussion on the architecture of the temple of Millions of Years of Thutmose III, which has been investigated by the Spanish-Egyptian joint project since 2008. The first archaeological works took place at the site at the end of the nineteenth century and during the first decades of the twentieth century. Twelve seasons of the resumed research have brought, e.g. some completely new data concerning buildings related to the temple (i.e. the administrative building outside the southern enclosure wall, workshops north of the upper courtyard, and a house of the Ramesside priest called Khonsu at the northeast of the second courtyard), and allowed for the reconstruction of the course of the enclosure wall of the complex, as well as for some architectural restoration works. This paper also offers an overview through some of the most important finds collected so far during our research (e.g. fragments of reliefs, stelae and statues, inscribed and decorated lintels, foundation deposit, stoppers, ostraca, graffiti, and fragments of papyri) and presents the first results of their analysis: how these materials allow us to better understand the history and administration of the temple as well as what data they provide concerning the priests and the rituals which took place there.

In a recent article Teresa Dziedzic presented a theoretical reconstruction of the solar altar in the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, with two obelisks standing on the top of it. From both a technological/logistic and an ideological point of view this hypothesis seems untenable. An alternative reconstruction may be offered in agreement with the archaeological evidence and the ideological program of the temple. Statues of the king and of Amun-Ra placed on the altar served as focal points of an early version of the ritual of ‘joining the sun-disk’.

In a recent article Andrzej Ćwiek (2015) criticized on ideological grounds one of the hypotheses concerning the reconstruction of the Solar Altar in the Complex of the Sun Cult of the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. The theoretical reconstruction in question, presented as one of the possibilities in an earlier text by the present author (Dziedzic 2013), called for two obelisks and a sacrificial table standing on the Solar Altar located in the open courtyard of the complex. Ćwiek also pointed to the practical difficulties associated with transportation and placement of stone obelisks. This article describes the technical aspects of transporting and placing obelisks in two different locations. It also contains calculations concerning the weight impact of the altar elements (obelisks) on the altar structure.

The field research conducted in Paphos in the framework of a joint project of the Université d’Avignon and the University of Warsaw focuses on the southern part of Fabrika hill with the aim to understand its role in the urban life of ancient Nea Paphos. Two seasons of the fieldwork (2018–2019) yielded evidence for the arrangement and chronology of a temple site of the Hellenistic and early Roman period. A preliminary exploration of underground chambers strongly suggests that they may have been a part of the same sacred area as the temple. Moreover, several burials as well as some walls and floors testify to the use of the site during the Byzantine and Medieval period.

One of the main sanctuaries in the city of Ai Khanum was excavated between 1968 and 1973 under the direction of Paul Bernard and its study is nearing completion. The purpose of this article is to describe how the sanctuary was organized and the different rituals celebrated within its walls. The sanctuary comprised several buildings standing around a courtyard, which formed the core of the sacred space. The lands extending on either side of the courtyard also belonged to its properties and were used for economic activities. At least two deities were honoured by rituals that generally left few traces. They received votive offerings, but also cereal -based food offerings, perhaps consumed during sacred banquets. Foundation and purification rituals can also be highlighted.

In ancient Egypt, performances inside and outside buildings are documented (open air, under canopies, in rooms). The article discusses the different acoustic conditions at the various per-formance venues. Within the scope of experimental music archaeology, the volume of replicas of musical instruments from ancient Egypt and modern equivalents was measured. This tech-nical approach in connection with iconographic, textual, and archaeological evidence provides a valuable, practice-oriented contribution to our knowledge of ancient Egypt and its music archaeology.

The article analyzes the imagery of God as a “swift witness” (Mal 3:5b) against the backdrop of the Jewish biblical, intertestamental, and rabbinic traditions. By adopting the reference to the deuteronomistic institution of the witness which provided surety for the observance of the Sinaitic covenant, the prophet implicitly expresses the advent of a religious crisis signaled by the lack of proper religious identity and by the weakening of the temple institutions created to safeguard and cultivate this identity. The image of God as a “swift witness” who comes to his temple to execute judgment on those who break the Covenant, and to inaugurate the ultimate era of justice, constitutes the prophet’s answer to all those who harbor doubt about God’s justice.

Celem rozważań jest zarysowanie problematyki odbudowy zniszczonych zabytkowych świątyń w aspekcie zastosowanych form architektonicznych. Świątynia historyczna może zostać zrekonstruowana, może także powstać obiekt o zupełnie nowej formie architektonicznej. Mimo odmienności przyjętych rozwiązań nowy obiekt jest kontynuatorem i nośnikiem tradycji miejsca w całej jego różnorodności. Powyższa tematyka została zilustrowana przykładami świątyń wzniesionych w miejsce utraconych zabytkowych cerkwi na terenie województwa podlaskiego.

This article aims to outline the problems of reconstruction of destroyed churches in the historic aspect of applied architectural forms. A historical temple can be reconstructed, there can also arise an object with a completely new form of architecture. Despite the diversity of the solutions adopted, the new object is a continuator and carrier of the tradition of place in all its diversity. This theme is illustrated with examples of temples built in place of lost historic Orthodox churches in the province of Podlasie.

The paper aims at tracing the idea of the revival of Indian society and nation in the undertaking of G.D. Birla (1894‑1983) – the most influential representative of the Birla family which members, known as industrial magnates and corporate leaders, contribute since the turn of the 20th century to medicine, education and technological development of India. G.D. Birla’s overall goal, seems to have been the revitalisation and strengthening of Hinduism as “Arya dharma” and interpret it in such a way as to make this the religion as inclusive and universal as possible. One of the Birlas’ activities fully demonstrating these religious ideas is the temple foundation. Thus considering the wide range of areas in which G.D. Birla was involved, the authors have focused on one such project – the Saraswati temple in Pilani and its ideological background. The temple is located in the Birla Institute of Technology & Science campus and dedicated to the Hindu goddess of wisdom and learning. The authors hope that this analysis will succeed in showing how the individual worldview of the founder left its mark on the idea of the whole family’s endeavours, and at the same time give voice to the range of ideas which, although already expressed at the turn of the nineteenth century, are still alive and influential in India today.

The Greek Testament of Levi describes the origin of the priesthood from Levi. In the text, he gives advice to his sons and teaches how they are to serve in the temple. He encourages priests to acquire knowledge because thanks to wisdom they will have respect in the community. In the last instruction before his death he warns them against sins. Sin, according to Levi, will destroy the temple. In the Testament, Levi announces the “new priest” who will renew cult. The text about the “new priest” Christians identified with Jesus Christ, and the words of Levi were to be an instruction for the priests of the Church.

The Temple of Hatshepsut was in use, and frequently modified, between the 16th century BC and the 12th century AD. From the beginning of the archaeological work at the site in the 19th century, one of the primary research goals has been to understand the modifications made to the building since its initial construction. The present paper provides an overview of the different arguments and ideas proposed for the original configuration of the Upper Courtyard, confronted with evidence from recent excavations between 2014 and 2016 in different parts of the court. In 2000, architect Andrzej Kwaśnica argued for an unprecedented arrangement of the architectural elements of the Upper Courtyard. However, recent archaeological discoveries suggest that the issue should be revisited. The examination of the foundations of the Ptolemaic Portico columns has shown that the six bases may have been in situ since the reign of Hatshepsut.

Brief overview of two seasons of archaeological survey and excavation carried out in 2012 and 2013 at the site of Berenike on the Red Sea coast and in two sub-projects in the Eastern Desert: the prehistoric cattle cemetery at Wadi Khashab and the Roman-era emerald mines at Sikait and Nugrus. Highpoints of the work at Berenike included discovery of the Hellenistic fort and fortifications that mark the original settlement of the site in the third quarter of the 3rd century BC, continued clearance of harbor-related structures in the southwestern bay interpreted as the early Roman harbor of Berenike and the uncovering of an earlier phase of the late Roman harbor temple (so-called Lotus Temple) of the 5th–6th century AD in the harbor.

Z refleksji teologicznej pierwotnego chrześcijaństwa wyłania się myśl teologiczna w formie Ewangelii. Cztery różne spojrzenia na dzieło Jezusa ukształtowały się pod wpływem zmieniających się okoliczności zewnętrznych życia chrześcijan. Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą uchwycenia myśli przewodnich św. Jana w opisie godów weselnych w Kanie Galilejskiej i oczyszczenia świątyni (J 2, 1–22). Jezus w Kanie Galilejskiej otwiera epokę łaski, która jest uobecniana we wspólnocie Kościoła w życiu sakramentalnym, szczególnie w Eucharystii. Krzyż i zmartwychwstanie Jezusa położyły kres świątyni jerozolimskiej. Jezus ustanowił nowy kult „w duchu i prawdzie”. Świątynią stało się Jego ciało. Zmartwychwstały Pan gromadzi narody, jednoczy ludzi z Bogiem i między sobą w sakramencie swojego Ciała i Krwi. On jest nową świątynią ludzkości. Stanowi to sens znaku oczyszczenia świątyni.

From the theological reflection of early Christianity emerges the theological thought in the form of the Gospel. Four different perspectives on the work of Jesus were formed under the influence of changing the external circumstances of the life of Christians. This article is an attempt to capture the guiding thoughts of St. John’s description of the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee, and the cleansing of the temple (Jn 2:1–22) Jesus in Cana of Galilee opens an era of grace, which is actualized in the community of the Church in the sacramental life, especially in the Eucharist. The cross and resurrection of Jesus put the end to the Temple in Jerusalem. Jesus instituted the new worship “in spirit and truth”. His body became the temple. The Risen Lord gathers nations, unites men with God and with each other in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. He is the new temple of humanity. This is the meaning of the sign of purification of the temple.

A study of the terminology of the Revelation of St. John pertaining to sacrificial cult evidences an essential transformation that is brought about by the faith in Jesus Christ. His salvific death on the cross affected a cessation of the Old Testament cult officiated in the Jerusalem Temple and the multiplicity of Old Testament sacrifices came to be replaced by the one and unique sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross for the salvation of the whole world. Thanks to his offering people are liberated from sins that separate them from God and gained direct access to Him, i.e. participation in Divine life – eternal salvation. Speaking of the salvific offering of Jesus Christ the Revelation shows Christ above all as the Lamb who makes an offering of himself and that is why the theological implications relevant to the theme of sacrificial cult in the last book of the Holy Scripture are to be sought in this image. It is noteworthy that the Old Testament sacrificial terminology is virtually absent in the Revelation of St. John because everything that is related to the sacrificial cult is taken over by Jesus Christ. The manifold sacrifices of the Old Testament were merely foretokens of the one and unique sacrifice that Jesus Christ – the Lamb – offered on the cross for the salvation of the whole world. Thus, in the Revelation St. John does not refer any more to the sacrifices of the Old Testament but to the sacrifice of Christ, who redeemed man giving him access to God and this means salvation.

The article deals with the discovery of a judean temple in Tel Arad (VIII/VII century B.C.). The stele (maṣṣēbâ) found in it allows us to believe, that in the official cult of the monarchy period, such a cult object symbolized YHWH. Bible texts can help to interpret this find. In addition to the official condemnation, prohibition on building and the order to destroy the already existing such cult installations (mainly pagan), you can also find positive references in the biblical texts both in the sphere of worship (mainly in the tradition of Jacob: the stele dedicated to YHWH in Betel; Os 3:4: Kingdom of Israel), as well as purely secular ones (monuments, tomb steleae). However, the location of Tel Arad on the southern border of Judah suggests, that the stele found there could have been a symbolic marker of the border of this country and a sign of protection of its territory on the part of YHWH (cf. Gen 31:45.51–53); Is 19:19).

PL

W artykule podjęta jest kwestia interpretacji odkrytej w Tel Arad judzkiej świątyni (przełom VIII/VII wieku przed Chr.). Znaleziona w niej stela (maṣṣēbâ) pozwala sądzić, że w oficjalnym kulcie z okresu monarchii taki obiekt kultowy symbolizował JHWH. W interpretacji tego znaleziska pomóc mogą teksty biblijne. Oprócz oficjalnego potępienia, zakazu budowania i nakazu niszczenia już istniejących tego rodzaju kultowych instalacji (głównie pogańskich), można znaleźć w tekstach biblijnych także pozytywne wzmianki zarówno w sferze kultu (głównie w tradycji o Jakubie: stela poświęcona JHWH z Betel; Oz 3,4: królestwo Izraela), jak i czysto świeckich zastosowań (pomniki, nagrobne stele). Położenie Tel Arad na południowym pograniczu Judy sugeruje jednak, że znaleziona tam stela mogła stanowić symboliczny wyznacznik granicy tego państwa i znak protekcji jego terytorium ze strony JHWH (por. Rdz 31,45.51–53; Iz 19,19).
