Extractions: (Excerpt from a photograph on the Interoz site [ Most of the ancient Egyptian buildings have disappeared leaving no trace. Built of sun baked bricks made of Nile mud and straw, houses, palaces and city walls crumbled when they stopped being looked after. Stone structures like temples and tombs fared better, but even they fell victim to the ravages of time, the greed of men, to earthquakes and subsidence. One shouldn't be surprised by what has disappeared but by how much is left. The planning of Egyptian architects and stone-masons was meticulous. It included ground-plans, sections and contours drawn on surfaces covered with grid lines. Petrie who investigated the Great Pyramids wrote W.M.Flinders Petrie, The pyramids and temples of Gizeh

Extractions: Ancient Egyptian The issue of the pronunciation of the Ancient Egyptian language has recently become confused by popular presentations that ignore some of the essential and undoubted characteristics of Egyptian hieroglyphics, most importantly that Egyptian, just as today is usually the case with Arabic and Hebrew, did not write vowels except in late transcriptions of foreign (mainly Greek) words. For a time French (vowels) and German (no vowels) scholars hotly debated this, but the matter was settled more than a century ago. This is typically not explained to people who are told that their names can be written in such and such a way in hieroglyphics (cf. Nom en hieroglyphes ), or who are simply told that the name of the Egyptian sun god is "Ra" the pronunciation we find in the recent entertaining but historically absurd movies Stargate (1994) and The Mummy (1999). Well, "ra" may be Tahitian for "sun," but it is not Ancient Egyptian. As it happens, the Egyptian dialogue in those movies, reconstructed by Stuart Tyson Smith , avoids that mistake, for anyone who listens carefully; but the misconception is perpetuated by the English dialogue, despite Dr. Smith's advice. Indeed, although the Egyptians did not write vowels in Egyptian words, there is evidence about what the vowels were in many words. But the evidence is for different stages of the Egyptian language. For most of Egyptian history the language written in actual hieroglyphics or in its cursive counterpart

Extractions: Ancient Egypt was one of the earliest civilizations. Top of Page Ancient Egyption civilization existed about 4,500 BC, many years before people lived in North America. Ancient Egypt was located in the fertile Nile valley. The Nile valley had rich soil for farming. The Nile delta also had grass necessary to feed herds of cattle. In addition to agriculture, the Nile River was a great source of fish. While the Nile was a great area for agriculture, Ancient Egypt was also an area rich with gold. The Pyramids are nearly 4,500 years old. Top of Page In Ancient Egypt the King was called a Pharaoh. The Pharaoh had total power. Egyptions believed that the Kings got their power from the gods. The King built temples to the gods and had to keep them happy with gifts and sacrifices. The Egyptions believed that the Pharaohs were god-like themselves. The King would prepare for his death by building a great tomb or temple to be worshipped as a god. These were the great pyramids.

Alternative Medicine Ancient And Modern Homoeopathy and other systems were well known in ancient egypt. Dawoud Khalil Messiha practices in egypt. http://geocities.com/thotmose/
Extractions: There are more than 70 different types of alternative therapy. Some are so well known that they are almost mainstream medicines, while others seem so bizarre as still to be on the very fringes of fringe medicine. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, Homoeopathy, and Aromatherapy are already practised in several countries. But others such as color therapy, Dowsing and Radiesthesia are still to be introduced to potentially sceptical public. Some are used as alternatives, to replace standard practices, while others are complementary and used in addition to the conventional treatments. Dr. Khalil Messiha a physician and complementary medicine specialist from Egypt , was practicing some of these complementary systems. He practiced acupuncture, herbal medicine, color therapy, homoeopathy, and biotronic preparations. He used the science of Radiesthesia to help him in medicine. Radiesthesia, the art of measuring vibrations by using pendulums, was developed in ancient Egypt. Many pendulums have been found among Pharaonic relics. Today in USA Radiesthesists, or Dowsers, are mainly interested in finding water sources, whereas in Europe it is used mainly in medicine. Radiesthesia in modern times use special computers to help dowsers. Many of the new instruments and computers were developed by Dr. Khalil in Egypt and others all over the world. Dr. Khalil has the remarkable ability to diagnose a patients ailments from a sample of blood, spatial and hair without ever having contact with said patient. All these kinds of samples were well known to the specialists in radiesthesia, but his new way was making diagnosis by using a finger print of the patient. He said that it will be safer for the dowser, and it will last more time than other kinds of samples. After the diagnosis is made, he chooses one or more suitable complementary system to help his patient. He didnt ignore the orthodox medicine, but he used the two systems together with a great success. He found that there is no contradiction between orthodox and complementary medicine. Only in the cases that needs surgery, the complementary systems have no use. Biotronic preparations, was another new system for curing that was developed by Dr. Khalil. It was very helpful for many of the chronic diseases.

A New Look At Ancient Egypt @ UPMAA A brief overview and gallery tour of the Nubian collection at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. http://www.museum.upenn.edu/new/exhibits/online_exhibits/egypt/nubiagallery.shtm
Extractions: The University of Pennsylvania's (UPM) Egyptian collection contains one of the United States' largest collections of material from ancient Nubia, particularly the region of Lower Nubia, which lies immediately south of Egypt in what today is modern Sudan. Several early UPM expeditions excavated a number of Nubian sites in Lower Nubia. A civilization at least as old as that of Egypt to the north, Nubia has its own distinctive series of cultures lasting more than 3000 years, but the northern part of Nubia was always in close interaction with Egypt, and its art and religion were at times influenced by Egypt. The statue of the scribe Amenemhat (left) shows a man who looks very Egyptian. He wears the short kilt and shoulder length wig typical of an Egyptian courtier; however, Amenemhat was a native Nubian who served as a scribe under Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 B.C.). Images such as this show close interaction between Nubia and Egypt during the New Kingdom, a period in which much of Nubia was ruled by Egypt. This statue was found in the temple of

BBC - Radio 4 - Stars In Their Eyes 25/12/2003 Rajesh Mirchandani looks at the ancient cosmologies of Mesopotamia, egypt, China and India. Requires Real Player. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/starsineyes.shtml
Extractions: Ever since our earliest moments on Earth, weve sought meaning in the stars. The Mesopotamians - in what is now Iraq - developed a system of predictive astronomy, where Priests scanned the skies for omens that might give clues to the Kings future. The ancient Egyptians believed that when they died, they became stars. So the sky became a region where Egyptian beliefs about royalty, divinity, birth and death all came together. With the help of archaeoastronomers, historians and archaeologists, Rajesh pieces together the astronomical systems operating in the Middle East six thousand years ago. For many of us today, light pollution has created a literal barrier between us and the stars. But that shouldnt blind us to the extraordinary astronomical achievements of ancient civilisations who had Stars in their Eyes.
Extractions: Permanent Collection : Ancient Egyptian Art The collection of Ancient Egyptian antiquities at the Michael C. Carlos Museum covers the full spectrum of Egyptian civilization, from the earliest Predynastic times, to the period of Roman domination. At the core of the collection are the artifacts acquired by Emory professor William Shelton, who traveled to Egypt in 1920 with the American Scientific Mission, the first American expedition to visit the Near East after World War I. The Carlos collection experienced tremendous growth in 1999 through the purchase of a collection of Egyptian antiquities from a small, private museum in Niagara Falls, Canada. The objects from the Niagara Falls Museum had been purchased in Egypt during the early 1860s, and include ten mummies, nine coffins, and a variety of other artifacts. The Niagara collection consists primarily of funerary material from the 21st Dynasty (ca. 1070-946 B.C.) to the Roman Period (ca. 31 B.C.-395 A.D.), a time of great achievement in the funerary arts.

Extractions: Home Search Contact Us M any of today's sports were practised by the Ancient Egyptians, who set the rules and regulations for them. Inscriptions on monuments indicate that they practised wrestling, weightlifting, long jump, swimming, rowing, shooting, fishing and athletics, as well as various kinds of ball games. Ancient Egyptian kings, princes and statesmen were keen on attending sports competitions, which they encouraged and provided with the necessary equipment. Drawings on pharaonic monuments tell us that several thousand years ago, the Egyptians had laid down basic rules for games, chosen a neutral referee, a uniform for players, and a means of announcing the winners by awarding them different collars. Both winner and loser were met with ovation, the first for his superiority and the latter for his sporting spirit. The following is an expose of some ancient Egyptian sports:
