Extractions: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey The Project I Appendix for the list, with full publication data. Scholarship, Traditional and Revisionist Rejection of a literalist or fundamentalist reading of the history of ancient Israel as told in the Hebrew Bible is nothing new. The modern phase of biblical historical scholarship can be said to have begun with the formulation of the "documentary hypothesis" in the late nineteenth century, most notably by Julius Wellhausen. Whereas the Torah or Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible, Genesis through Deuteronomy) had traditionally been seen as the "books of Moses," deriving from if not actually written by Moses himself, the documentary hypothesis held that the Pentateuch was a composite of several "documents" or "strands" produced by several different authors at different times and subsequently combined. Two of the major clues prompting the development of this hypothesis were (a) the different names provided for the deity of the Israelites in different passages within the biblical books and (b) the apparent relationship between the book of Deuteronomy and the scroll or "book" of law said (in 2 Kings 22-23; cf. 2 Chronicles 34-35) to have been found in the temple in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah of Judah (640-609 BCE). Some of the passages using different divine names (Yahweh, commonly translated "the Lord," on the one hand, and Elohim, generally translated simply as "God," on the other, while some passages employed both, saying Yahweh Elohim, i.e., "Yahweh God" or "the Lord God") appeared to tell the same stories twice, often in significantly varying ways. An obvious and frequently-cited example may be found in the two very different accounts of the creation of humankind in Genesis 1 and 2, first by "God," then by "Yahweh God." It was suggested that such variant stories, with different divine names, reflected the work of different writers. Moreover, if the book of Deuteronomy (as a whole or in part) should be identified with the scroll "found" in Josiah's time, it was suggested that it may well have been

Extractions: Nevertheless, thanks to recent scholarship and acquisitions in the area of Mediterranean culture (which do not exclude new discoveries), we shall be able to focus more sharply on the most central component of Ancient Egyptian civilization, namely its religion, which involved a Pharaonic, Dynastic spirituality which was later Hellenized into Hermetism. The former was the foundation of Egypt's theopolitical organization, temple-religion and scribal wisdom teachings. The institution of the "Great House" ("pr-aA") or "Pharaoh" created ca.3000 BCE, if not earlier, excelled in the Old Kingdom and achieved even greater glory in the New Kingdom. It continued to be the best way to rule Egypt untill 30 BCE (death of Cleopatra). This was a formidable achievement, ignored by our schools and universities, starting history with the Archaic Greeks (ca.700 BCE) and not with the Mesopotamians, nor with Pharaonic Egypt.

Extractions: B.A. Course This course is designed for those who are interested in studying more than one of the first literate Old World civilizations and are not certain they want to devote half their time to learning an ancient language to a high level. The course covers three main regions: Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the early Aegean (Mycenaean and Minoan, Archaic and Classical Greece). Like the Egyptology course, it has a one-year Part I and a two-year Part II. In the first year you may select four papers. Two of these will be general papers on the history, literature and archeology of two of the three regions. The other two may be selected from a wide range which includes a language paper in each of the three areas, and two papers borrowed from Part I Archaeology and Anthropology , one on World Archaeology and one on Social Anthropology. So you must study two of the three regions, and then can choose whether to do one (or even two) of the languages, or to go for a more general paper in archaeology and/or anthropology. See lists of papers below , and for further details see Assyriology Egyptology and Classics In Part II students concentrate on one of the three regions with a range of subsidiary options. In each of the three options (Greek, Egyptian or Mesopotamian) one takes three core papers with a practical, and two others. One of these two is chosen from the core papers of one of the two other options. The other is a special subject taken from any of the three regions, and can be replaced by a dissertation. In addition, all students take a general paper on comparative and theoretical issues. See the lists of papers

Extractions: Figure 1.There are many illustrations and idealized paintings of ancient Egypt. This one is by French illustrator Pierre Joubert. Ancient Egyptian art shows this to be a fairly accurate, if somewaht dramtic depiction of how a young prince in ancient Egypt might dress. No ancient civilization has so captured the Western mind as that of Egypt. The impressive archetectural remains and the the close connection with Greece and Rome, and the Biblical links probably explain this fascination. Another factor surely is the Egyptian obsession with the after life leaving vast treasure troves of archeolohical evidemce including mummies which have fuled the popular interest in Egypt. All of this has attracted the interest of both scholars as well as the wider public. There is cerainly much to ponder with ancient Egypt. The origins of ancient Egypt are still clouded in mystery. Even what we know inspires considerable awe: a mysterious religion with inspiring monumental architecture, including temples, pyramids and the enigmatic Sphinx. Traditionally Egypt is composed of Upper (southern) and Lower (northern) regiins. They were once separate politically, but eventually united by Menes the ruler of Upper Egypt in the 35th century BC. Lower Egypt comprised the region from the Nile Mediterrean Delta south to a imaginary line at about the 30° N lattitude. Upper Egypt is the region south of this line. This is confusing to our modern concept of gepgraphy, but of course to the Egyptians what was important was the flow of the Nile.

Extractions: Home Other Books Writing in an easy to read narrative literary style while respecting the norms of Egyptological scholarship, the author examines the contradictory opinions of major Egyptologists (and the major loonies), and brings us closer to Egypts core meaning and influence. Along the way, he illuminates the enchanting, imaginative beauty of the Egyptian saga. Ancient Egypt built a society on a remarkable mixture of the new, the useful and the beautiful, while retaining primitive magic, obscurantism, and the infantile but extraordinarily poetic. Egypt was also one of the most optimistic nations ever founded, inventing optimistic answers to many of mans fundamental questions. Volume I surveys the religious underpinnings of the society, including the founding of the first nation and the first nation to proclaim its sacred nature. Divine kingship, the holy city and capital city were invented here. This volume situates the Egyptian religion, political system and society within the contexts some of them stretching back as far as before c. 4000 BC of the early history of religion, mythology, technology, art, psychology, sociology, migratory movements and geography. The anchoring of religious belief in divine immanence and diversity, but a frenzy for religious change without change, the omnipresence of magic, the immense powers of the pharaoh-god and the turning point for man that ancient Egypt represented in many key theological, political, artistic and technological domains from very early dates are examined.

Extractions: PERSPECTIVES ON ANCIENT EGYPT SINCE NAPOLEON Chair Professor John Tait Monday 18 December Some Egyptological Sidelights on the Egyptian war of 1882 David Dixon Former Curator of Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London On 11 July 1882 an English fleet bombarded Alexandria and in September of that year an army of some 20,000 men under Sir Garnet Wolseley invaded and conquered Egypt, ushering in a period of nearly three-quarters of a century of English occupation and control. This paper considers the reactions and attitudes of members of the occupying army to the ancient civilisation of Egypt and the consequences thereof for the development of archaeological work in the Delta and elsewhere in the immediate aftermath of the war. Imperialist Appropriations of Egyptian Obelisks Fekri Hassan Institute of Archaeology, University College London Egyptian obelisks in the center of Rome were first appropriated by Roman emperors to mark their imperial power and superiority over other civilizations by conquest. Obelisks were subsequently appropriated by Popes to extol the power of Christendom. With the rise of modern nationalism in Europe, France and England began to compete for the possession of obelisks in order to assert their hegemony and dominance as world empires. New York eventually got its obelisk to mark its status as a world city. The appropriation of Egyptian obelisks at different times is in part linked to the material form chosen by the Egyptians as an icon of a cosmogony of power and divine kingship. Regardless of the various contexts in which the obelisks were embedded, they acquired a transhistorical as well as a transcultural aura of power and glory. This may be attributed to their scale, form, and material, as well as to the palimpsest accretion of signification in predominantly hegemonic [imperialist] tradition.
General Introduction To Egypt There is ancient egypt, the cradle of mankind and civilisation. He who turns his mind to this enthralling subject will find that http://graphics.lcs.mit.edu/~hanna/Egypt/index01.html
Extractions: Books about Egypt are innumerable. Her people, her history, her climate, her monuments, everything even remotely connected with Egypt has been written of and discussed from every conceivable point of view. The wealth of material, the abundance of its Bibliography make it impossible for anyone person to study and assimilate it all. The studies are alluring but life, alas ! is short. It is because there is so much to see, see and learn about Egypt that this little book has been written. Not that it aspires to supplant or replace any of the works already existing, nor does it hope to give more than a brief glimpse of Egypt's many aspects. It merely seeks to indicate some of them. For every one of the studies on which it does no more than touch there are numerous authorities whom the reader, should happily his interest be aroused, may consult. There is Ancient Egypt, the cradle of mankind and civilisation. He who turns his mind to this enthralling subject will find that he has strucka mine of inexhaustible wealth. During the last century and a half scholars from all over the world have devoted their lives to the science of Egyptology. Champollion's discovery of the Rosetta Stone has made possible the deciphering of hieroglyphics. New discoveries are made and fresh manuscripts deciphered with every year that passes. It may well be that when, in retrospect, our descendants look back on the twentieth century they will count among its outstanding achievements the fact that it brought to light the tomb of Tutankhamen and its contents, contents which will be to future ages, as they are to our own, a source of never ending wonder and admiration.

Ancient Egyptian Furniture The ancient Egyptian furniture was in general lower in height than contemporary furniture with beds being about 300mm high and the stools being extremely low http://www.kingtutshop.com/freeinfo/Ancient-Egyptian-Furneture.htm
Extractions: Ancient Egyptian Furniture The ancient Egyptians had simple but well made furniture. The craftsmen and woodworkers created the simple furniture for the common people while the most elaborate for the wealth and the kings. At the beginning of the Old Kingdom, which opens with the 3rd dynasty (2686-2613BC), we see the quality of royal furniture made during this period can be seen in those examples in the 4th dynasty tomb of Queen Hetepheres (c 2600 BC) at Giza. Home More Articles Ancient Egyptian Furniture Most of the wooden frameworks were elaborated by gold sheaths, which had encased the furniture. Hetepheres' furniture consisted of two armchairs, bed frame, bed canopy, carrying chair and two boxes. The introduction of the wooden boxes were made at the end of the Old Kingdom. They were manufactured with flat, gable, barrel and shrine shaped lids. Some were very large and were designed with a pair of poles that enabled the box to be carried by a team of porters. In one tomb scene we see such a box being carried by fourteen men. During the Middle Kingdom we find boxes were customised to hold cosmetics. Many were designed like crates to hold small alabaster jars which held perfumed oils. Other boxes have been found to contain mirrors, kohl containers, combs and other items. Other elaborate boxes held jewellery, these were usually inlaid or veneered with sheets of ivory or exotic timbers bought from lands south of Egypt. Chests were used to store domestic possessions such as linens, clothing, jewelry, and make-up.
