This volume presents the unique history of ancient Egypt through 50 artefacts discovered during excavations of the EES since its founding in 1882. They are brought together in this volume from global museums: from major collections as well as those that are a little less known. Readers will travel through three millennia of Egypts history from the Early Dynastic to the end of the Graeco-Roman Period uncovering the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians by investigating everyday items, as well as the elite objects of the ruling classes. Alongside these artefacts, further topics are unpacked relating to the history of Egypt and Egyptology as well as those characters that have played a role in the discovery of ancient Egypt. Each object entry is written by an expert in their field and contributions already include several items from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Metropolitan Museum in New York as well as the University Museum of Kyoto, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and Bolton Museum.

Greek mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient greece. The greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many different gods. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to shed light on the religious and political institutions of ancient greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself. Just some of the topics covered in this book include Uranus: betrayal by cronus Cronus: fear of his children Titans vs. Olympian gods Olympian rule Zeus and his ladies Prometheus and herakles An unhappy tale of the underworld The beauty contest that led to the fall of troy Poseidon, metis, athena and atlantis Kraken and other monsters Jason, the argonauts, and medeas dragon Furthermore, osiris was associated with the kings of egypt because the egyptians believed he was a king himself. The ancient egyptians could trace their kings back, one by one, to a time when the gods were believed to have ruled the land in person. Osiris was the third or fourth successor to the egyptian throne after creation, and the egyptians believed that osiriss connection with kingship is what allowed their kings to be reborn in a way themselves. He was also said to be physically enormous almost 15 and a half feet according to some sources which was said to have aided him in his military campaigns.

The books chapters are thoughtfully organized, allowing readers to navigate through different aspects of the pantheon. It covers creation myths, the Ennead and Ogdoad groups of deities, solar and lunar gods, fertility goddesses, and much more. Additionally, the handbook doesnt just focus on the deities themselves, but also explores the religious practices, rituals, and ceremonies associated with each figure. The authors have gone to great lengths to ensure accuracy, drawing from a wide range of ancient texts, hieroglyphs, inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries. The inclusion of vivid illustrations, photographs, and depictions of ancient art further enriches the reading experience, bringing the gods and goddesses to life in the readers imagination. This book will provide you with a comprehensive overview of Egypts long history, including: The beginning of Egyptian civilization A brief look into ancient Egyptian monuments Stories about the pharaohs and their exploits An extraordinary look into Egypts magnificent golden age Alexanders conquest of Egypt The scandalous lives of the Ptolemys A brief exploration of Egypts medieval period Today, Egyptian imagery, concepts, and perspectives are found everywhere; you will find them in architectural forms, on money, and in our day to day lives. Many cosmetic surgeons, for example, use the silhouette of Queen Nefertiti (whose name means the beautiful one has come) in their advertisements.

A century ago, Charles Leonard Woolley directed the first excavations at Amarna site M50.14-16, identifying it as a workshop for glass and faience. However, the archaeological record and its publication in The City of Akhenaten I were somewhat superficial. New excavations conducted by the Amarna Project in 2014 and 2017 yielded extensive evidence of glass-, faience-, stone-, and metalworking, reaffirming the sites role as a workshop. These investigations also illuminated its domestic character, uncovering valuable data on houses and other structural remains. This volume presents a near-complete record of the site, offering a comprehensive archaeological and architectural evaluation alongside in-depth analyses of material culture, including archaeobotany, charcoal, animal bones, ceramics, and other artefacts. The individual chapters reconstruct the chaines operatoires of various craft production activities. Additionally, the organisation of production and the concept of cross-craft interaction are explored, as the site is situated within the broader industrial network of Amarna. This volume furthermore provides an in-depth examination of the inhabitants roles and daily lives, enriching our understanding of this significant site.

Le récit du marin naufragé est la plus ancienne histoire connue dun marin naufragé et, en tant que tel, il est le précurseur de nombreux récits daventures nautiques rencontrant détranges créatures magiques, de lOdyssee dHomere a Sinbad le Marin. Dans un sens plus large, il est generalement considere comme la plus ancienne uvre de fiction egyptienne a avoir survecu jusqua aujourdhui. Un seul exemplaire a ete retrouve a ce jour, un manuscrit sur papyrus conserve au musee de lErmitage de Saint-Petersbourg, en Russie, et designe sous le nom de pHermitage 1115. Il a dabord ete designe sous le nom de pPetersburg 1115 a la fin de lere imperiale russe, puis pLeningrad 1115 pendant lere sovietique, et ces designations sont parfois encore utilisees dans la litterature moderne.Lorigine exacte du papyrus na pas ete correctement documentee a lepoque, ce qui etait courant chez les premiers egyptologues, mais il a probablement ete retrouve lors de lexpedition de Vladimir Golenishchev en 1884-85 dans le Ouadi Hammamat, qui etait la principale route commerciale entre le Nil dans le sud de lEgypte et le port dAl-Qusair sur la mer Rouge. Les vestiges archeologiques de loued Hammamat montrent quil a ete une voie de transbordement majeure pour les marchandises voyageant entre Koptos, sur le Nil, et Al-Qusair sur la mer Rouge depuis lepoque pre-dynastique, et quil a continue a etre utilise tout au long de lhistoire de lEgypte pour le transbordement entre le Nil du sud de lEgypte et la mer Rouge.Le papyrus utilise le dialecte egyptien du Moyen Empire, et bien que plusieurs egyptologues laient traduit, le manuscrit original na pas encore ete publie sous forme photographique. Cette traduction, comme toutes les traductions modernes, est donc basee sur une source secondaire, en particulier la transcription hieratique de Vladimir Golenishchev dans Les papyrus hieratiques, publiee en 1913 sous le nom de W. Golenischeff. W.K. Flinders Petrie estimait que le dialecte et la forme du hieratique utilise

From the gold of the shaft graves of Mycenae to an undecorated Late Roman lekythos, and from facade statuary in Roman Ephesus to electroplated teapots in present-day household assemblages on the island of Kythera, this volume presents a selection of essays on the complex and ever-progressing relationships between things and people across time and space. Past and present advances in the discourse on materialisms are approached from a case study perspective through the lens of two different but complementary themes: object biography and materiality in relation to medium. Each essay offers a distinct insight into the always shifting meanings, values, and relational connections of things, exploring a diversity of concepts, contexts, and material elements from prehistory to today.

Unique among the extant works on visiting tombs, the Muhaddib al-talibin ila qubur al-Salihin (The Educator for Seekers of Tombs of the Pious), by Ibn al-Gabbas (d. after 736/1336) is the only book that is organised by generations (rabaqat). This critical edition is based on a rare manuscript copied in Egypt and restored by Sihab al-Din b. al-Agami, the historian and visitor (d. 1086/1675) who owned it. We do not know precisely when it was moved to al-Zawiya al-Nasiriyya, in southeastern Morocco.

Ethics in Archaeological Practice explores urgent topics and issues in archaeology as currently practiced in the classroom, the field, the museum, and the public sphere. While addressed primarily to archaeologists working in western Asia, the eastern Mediterranean, and North Africa, the volume raises contemporary ethical questions around race, gender, disability, climate change, and cultural heritage that are pressing and relevant to archaeology students and professionals worldwide. The fifteen contributors offer fundamental case studies and practical guidance for best practices and models of high standards of ethical practice in professional conduct. Together, they offer new approaches to advocacy and the responsible stewardship of heritage sites, collections, and the environment. These compelling and generative discussions make the case for a 21st century archaeology that is proactive and engaged with discourses addressing equity, social justice, anti-colonialism, and climate change.
