THEBES (Egypt)
THEBES was the capital of Egypt during the period of the New Kingdom (1570-1069 BCE) and became a very important center of worship of the god Amon (also known as Amun or Amen, a creator god). Its sacred name was P-Amen or Pa-Amen meaning “the abode of Amen”. It was also known to the Egyptians as Waseor Wo'se (the city) and Usast or Waset (the southern city) and was built on either side of the Nile River with the main city on the east bank and the vast necropolis on the west.
This position on the river is famously referenced in the biblical book of Nahum 3:8, when the prophet warns Nineveh of its coming destruction, claiming that not even the great Thebes “situated among rivers, the waters round about it” was safe from the wrath of God. The biblical name for the city is No-Amon (Ezekial 30:14,16, Jeremiah 46:25, Nahum 3:8) referencing its fame as a cult center for Amon (though this name is also associated with the city of Xois in Lower Egypt). The Greeks called it Thebai from the Coptic Greek Ta-opet (the name of the great Karnak Temple) which became ‘Thebes’ - the name by which it is remembered.
Thebes was prominent by c. 3200 BCE owing largely to the rise in popularity of the cult of the god Amon and was known for its wealth and grandeur. In the 8th century BCE, long after Thebes had seen better days, the Greek poetHomer would still write famously of the city in his Iliad, “…in Egyptian Thebes the heaps of precious ingots gleam, the hundred-gated Thebes” and the Greeks would refer to the city as Diospolis Magna (‘The Great City of the Gods’). During the Amarna Period (1353-1336 BCE) Thebes was the world’s largest city with a population at around 80,000 people.

Hark!
What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East; and Erika is the Sun.
(The sunrise is real pretty, too)
