| Abstract | ||
| The votive cubits are those kinds of antiquities that have never been satisfactorily published, and called ceremonial cubit because of their high degree of decoration. The cubit mH is one of the first recorded units of length used by the ancient people. For the Ancient Egyptians it was the standard measure. Those kinds of votive cubits were not actually used as tools, but as votive, or were made for the funerary equipment and therefore more made of hard stone. The main goal of this paper is to explain some of their extraordinarily inscriptions. The searcher made a sort of a comparison between some votive cubits dating back to several periods, and studying the hieroglyphs text found on them. The present research aims to study the provinces of both Upper and Lower Egypt that decorated these kinds of the linear measure, and also their relation with the numerals which carved on. The searcher also makes a comparison with some other tables that appeared on other monuments that might pertain these kinds of inscriptions. الذراع النذري هو ذلک النوع من الآثار التي لم يتم دراستها أبدا͛ بصورة مُرضية، حيث يذخر هذا النوع من أدوات قياس الطول فى مصر القديمة بالعديد من النقوش المعقدة التى يصعب فهمها ودراستها. کلمة "ذراع" mH تستخدم أيضا کمدلول لأحدى وحدات قياس الطول حيث يعتبر المصريين القدماء من أقدم الشعوب أستخداما͛ لهذه الوحدة. ولم يکن هذا النوع من الأذرع النذرية والتى فى الغالب مصنوعة من أحجار ثقيلة يستخدم فعليا͛ کأداة قياس فى الحياة اليومية, ولکن کجزء من الأثاث الجنائزى أو للأحتفاظ بها فى المعبد. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى المساعدة فى فهم وشرح تلک النقوش المثيرة للأهتمام, وللوصول لذلک أجريت نوعا͛ من المقارنة بين بعض من تلک الأذرع النذرية التي يعود تاريخها إلى عدة فترات متفاوتة على مر التاريخ المصرى القديم، ودراسة النصوص التى نُقشت عليها, من أجل تحقيق الهدف الرئيسى من هذا البحث الا وهو دراسة النقوش الخاصة بأقاليم مصر العليا والسفلى التى مثلت على أداة القياس تلک, وأيضا دراسة العلاقة بينها وبين الکثير من الأرقام المرتبطة بتلک الأقاليم. کما قام الباحث فى هذه الدراسة بإجراء مقارنة بين تلک النقوش التى تمثل الأقاليم على الأذرع النذرية وغيرها من الأثار الأخرى. | ||
