Recommended Reading On The Ancient Near East Guide to introductory readings on the peoples and cultures of the ancient Near East including egypt, Nubia, and Mesopotamia. Indexed by subject. http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/DEPT/RA/RECREAD/REC_READ.html
Extractions: comments ... A Collaborative Production of The Research Archives of the Oriental Institute The Oriental Institute Museum The Oriental Institute Museum Education Program Recommended Reading is a guide to introductory readings on the peoples and cultures of the ancient Near East. Some of the material included here ( Ancient Mesopotamia ) was originally published as the Resource Guide included with one of the three volumes ( Life in Ancient Egypt, Life in Ancient Nubia, Life in Ancient Mesopotamia ) of the Guides for Teachers Based on the Collections and Resources of the Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago (Chicago, 1996), produced by the Museum Education Program with the generous support of a grant from the Polk Bros. Foundation. We have made some additions and corrections, and slightly altered the structure of that Resources Guide for the purposes of providing this information on-line, and we expect to add additional material as needed. The Egyptian and Nubian lists have been developed by Emily Teeter in the course of many years of teaching and lecturing and will change as new material is published. In addition, we are planning to add more lists as we identify topics of interest to the public. We welcome your suggestions. This on-line version was coordinated and processed into HTML by Charles E.

Extractions: http://islam.org The first Muslims to rule Egypt who were not a part of the Abbasid caliphate in Baghdad were the Fatimids, a group of Shi'ites who derived their name from the Prophet's daughter and Ali's wife, Fatima. Their rule did not begin in Egypt, but rather in North Africa, where they took power from the Aghlabids in 909. From their North African base at Raqqadah, the Fatimids conquered Abbasid Egypt in the 960s. The Fatimids built a new capital in Egypt in 973, naming it al-Qahirah, or planet of victory. We know the city today as Cairo. The empire also expanded across the Sinai Peninsula into Syria and Palestine, often putting it in direct conflict with the neighbouring Byzantines and Abbasids. Because they ruled from Egypt and thus focussed on that region, the Fatimids soon lost control of their neglected territories in North Africa. By the early 11th century the Fatimids lost the Maghrib to the Almoravids, who controlled Morocco, much of Algeria, and Muslim Spain by 1090. As Shi'ites, the Fatimids were both theologically and politically opposed to the Sunni rule of the Abbasids in Baghdad. The Fatimid caliphs considered themselves to be divine rulers, sent by God to rule on earth and ensure the prevalence of Islamic justice. As direct descendants of the Prophet's daughter, the Shi'ite Fatimids believed that they should rule the world, or at least the Islamic world, and that the Sunni Abbasids were simply usurpers. The Fatimids are known for their strict enforcement of Islamic laws regarding dietary restrictions and acceptable behaviour for Muslims. However, there is no evidence that Egypt became more Islamicised under the Fatimids. The population remained largely Coptic Christian and Jewish, and those who were Muslims were usually Sunni. Shi'ism was practised mainly by the Fatimid elite, and never substantially penetrated the population. Perhaps this is why Egypt has a mostly Sunni population today, despite its history of Shi'ite rule.
Extractions: WASHINGTON (CNN) The White House cast doubt Tuesday on a report of a warning from Egyptian intelligence the week before September 11 that al Qaeda was in the advance stages of carrying out a major attack against an American target. "There is nothing I've been made aware of," said Ari Fleischer, White House press secretary. Fleischer responded to an article in Tuesday's New York Times in which Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said his intelligence officials warned the United States about an al Qaeda plot shortly before the terrorist attacks. "I have nothing that confirms anything in the week prior to September 11," Fleischer said, adding that the United States and Egypt exchanged intelligence information in early 2001.

Extractions: Beautiful, spoiled, cynical, disenchanted, rich child who was the center of her family's pride, and repaid them by running away at age 12. Ran to Alexandria Egypt where she worked as a dancer singer , and prostitute for 17 years. Took ship on a pilgrimage to Palestine , hoping to ply her trade among the pilgrims , and then in Jerusalem On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross she moved with the crowds to the church, looking for customers. At the church door she found herself repelled, unable to open the door; she was overcome with remorse for her life and exclusion from the Church. She repented, and asked for Our Lady's guidance; a voice told that to find rest, she should cross the Jordan River. The next day she crossed the river, wandered into the desert, and took up the life of a hermit for nearly 50 years as penance.
J-E Berger Foundation: World Art Treasures Based on the JacquesEdouard Berger collection of images of art objects and essays devoted to the main civilizations, such as egypt, China, Japan, India, Europe. http://www.bergerfoundation.ch/
Extractions: Several critics have pointed out an oddity. The painter's clothes are not really what was being worn in Holland in 1660 - 1665. These are very old clothes, known as a Burgundian suit, very fashionable in 1530. If this character is Vermeer, why would he set his character 150 years earlier? Strange anachronism. different lectures A shared Vision comprises the collection of works of art built up by Jacques-Edouard Berger and now on loan at Lausanne's Musée de design et d'arts appliqués contemporains , together with essays linked to his passion for collecting. Since the 19th century, most critics have tried to see Vermeer himself as the painter. The painter has done everything to create the most complete ambiguity. There is nothing which allows his identity to be certified. The artist is presented from the back. His palette and his colors cannot be seen. This setting symbolizes the painter's image. Why not Jan Vermeer? Could this be his only self-portrait? How frustrating! Think of Rembrandt who, throughout his life, never ceased representing himself.
