| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thebes (Thebais Secunda) |
| | Thebes was the No-Amon of the Jews, the Nouit-Amen of the Egyptians (City or Kingdom of Amon), the Nia of the Assyrians, and the Diospolis of the Greeks, which is the exact translation of Nouit-Amen. | | | It is thought that Jeremias (xlvi, 25) and Ezechiel (xxx, 14-16) allude to the two campaigns of Nabuchodonosor against Thebes, which took place in 583 and 588 B.C. Originally a mere borough, Thebes grew by degrees, and as early as the twelfth dynasty its sovereigns dominated Egypt. | | | Thebes is mentioned three times in the Bible under the name of No-Amon in the Hebrew text, which the Vulgate each time renders incorrectly by Alexandria. |

| | Luqsor: One Hundred Gates to Thebes |
| | Then, after the victory of Ramses III over the Sea Peoples, a very slow decay characterized Thebes in times of division of Egypt; even then, despite its limited political power, Thebes had an edge over all the rest: an immense past and a legendary name of radiation that only Babylon could claim to match. | | | Wenamun, the priest of Amun, moved from Thebes to Byblus, around 1075 BCE, and found strange that Tsekker Baal of Byblus did not comply with his request for valuable cedar wood, necessary for the construction of the holy boat of Amun, and did not fear, when hearing the name of the past glories. | | | At the crepuscule of the Antiquity, the Roman Emperor Germanicus had an exclusive and extensive itinerary in the ruins of Thebes, where he was initiated in the great mysteries of the glorious past by one of the very few last priests, who were still versant in hieroglyphics. |
