2650 BC: Encyclopedia - Khafra

Khafra or Khafre (Greek Chephren) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Fourth dynasty, with his capital at Memphis. According to some authors he was the brother and successor of Khufu, but it is more commonly accepted that Djedefra was Khufu's successor and Khafra was Djedefra's. There is no agreement on the date of his reign; some authors say it was between 2558 BC and 2532 BC; this dynasty is commonly dated ca. 2650 BC–2480 BC. While the Turin King List figure for his reign as lost in a lacunae, and Manetho's exagge ...

The earliest depictions of wrestling are found in the Beni Hasan Temple in Egypt. The sport of oil wrestling dates back to 2650 BC in Egypt and Assyria. In the Ottoman Empire, wrestlers learned the art in special schools called tekke, which were not merely athletic centres, but also spiritual centres, similar to those attended by the Japanese Sumo wrestlers, where it was taught that man is not just matter, but also spirit. Since competition without the harmony of matter and spirit would be detrimental to the development of good charac ...

2650 BC: New Age Spirituality Dictionary on Gilgamesh

Gilgamesh

The legendary king of the Sumerian city-state Uruk (biblical Erech) ca. 2650 BC Of the man and his actual achievements nothing certain is known, but within a century of his death he had become a god residing in the underworld, a king and judge. Until the end of Mesopotamian civilization he remained associated with the cult and care of the dead. Gilgamesh also lived on as a great hero of legendary exploits.

Five or six tales were committed to writing ca. 2100 to 2000 BC in the Sumerian language. Around 1800 the Sumerian traditions were united in a single work, written in Babylonian, of at least a thousand lines.

This version spread across the Near East, at times translated into Hittite and Hurrian. Finally, in the late second millennium, it was edited in a standard form of about three thousand lines. In this form, the epic has been transformed into a wisdom tale. It is addressed to a reader who is urged to read and ponder the story of a great man's struggle with life and the human condition.

It is structured around three weeklong rites of passage: rites conferring humanity, rites rejecting humanity, and rites restoring humanity. At first Gilgamesh would overcome death by the immortality of fame. This he achieves by slaying the monster Huwawa. But his dearest friend, Enkidu, dies, and fame becomes worthless. Now he will be satisfied only with the transcendence that belongs to the immortal gods and the one man who shares in this immortality, Utnapishtim, the Babylonian Noah and sole survivor of the Flood; hence the journey to this unique figure. But Gilgamesh learns that this distinction is due to divine caprice, never to be repeated. At last Gilgamesh accepts his mortality and regains his humanity. At the end, pointing to the city Uruk and its mighty walls, he shows a sense of human achievement as well as human limitation; "He was weary but at peace. "

2650 BC: Encyclopedia - Yağlı güreş

Yağlı Güreş is the Turkish national sport. It is commonly known as oil wrestling (sometimes as grease wrestling) because the wrestlers douse themselves with olive oil. The wrestlers are known as pehlivan, meaning hero, and wear a type of hand-stitched lederhosen called kisbet (sometimes kispet), which were traditionally made of water buffalo hide, but now also of calf leather. Unlike Olympic wrestling, oil wrestling matches may be won by achieving an effective hold of the kisbet. Thus, the pehlivan aims to con ...

2650 BC: Encyclopedia - Cubit

Cubit is the name for any one of many units of measure used by various ancient peoples. The natural cubit is based on the distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person. It was employed consistently — to measure originally cords and textiles for example — also in Middle-Ages up to the Early Modern Times. This natural cubit measures 24 digits or 6 palms or 1½ foot. This is about 45 cm or 18 inches. Early on, greater cubits (in a larger sense) featured on: 7 palms, ...

2650 BC: Encyclopedia II - Elam - History

Knowledge of Elamite history remains largely fragmentary, reconstruction being based on mainly Mesopotamian sources. The city of Susa was founded around 4000 BC, and during its early history, fluctuated between submission to Mesopotamian and Elamite power. The earliest levels (22-17 in the excavations conducted by Le Brun, 1978) exhibit pottery that has no equivalent in Mesopotamia, but for the succeeding period, the excavated material allows identification with the culture of Sumer of the Uruk period. Proto-Elamite influence from the Persia ...
