Shakespeare's food Ancient Mesopotamian foods There are several sources you can use to find information on the foods, agricultural practices, and dining customs of ancient Mesopotamia. Most of this information (the credible sources your teacher will accept) is still contained in books. Did you know Ancient Mesopotamia is also credited for the first written recipes Some notes to get you started: Food in History , Reay Tannahill [Three Rivers:New York] 1988 (p. 47) [NOTE: This book has much more information than can be transcribed here. Your librarian can help you find a copy.] "Mesopotamian food is known from archaeology and written records on cuneiform tablets, including bilingual Sumerian-Akkadian word lists. These sources indicate the importance of barley bread, of which many kinds are named, and barley and wheat cakes, and grain and legume soups; of onions, leeks and garlic; of vegetables including chate melon, and of fruits including apple, fig and grape; of honey and cheese; of several culinary herbs; and of butter and vegetable oil. Sumerians drank beer often, wine seldom if at all; wine was better known in northern Mesopotamia and in later items. Animal foods included pork, mutton, beef, fowl including ducks and pigeons, and many kinds of fish. Meats were salted; fruits were conserved in honey; various foods, including apples, were dried. A kind of fermented cause is identified in Akkadian texts."

Yet it is an outright myth, deliberately created from 1830 onwards, to explain away Egyptian civilization. During the 1800's there was all kinds of pseudo-sciences floating around about the genetical and inherent inferiority of peoples of African descent, and also a belief blacks are to be colonized because they are uncivilized and savage by nature. This was created to justify colonialism and also denying blacks equal rights in America. In order to moralize their mistreatment of blacks, scientific racism was created. And a part of this was in denying blacks had ever had a civilization. Since Egypt was a very impressive and marvelous civilization, and much of the heritage of the western world (such as writing and the calendar) came from ancient Egypt, it became necessary to whiten Egypt. "Badarian skulls differ very little from other less ancient predynastic skulls; they are just a bit more prognathous. Next to these, they most resemble primitive Indian skulls: Dravidians and Veddas. They also present a few affinities with Negroes, due no doubt to a very ancient admixture of Negro blood." [p. 394]

It grew out of the Mediterranean breezes, the sun and desert of Northern Africa, the Persian and West Asian lands. To study Ancient Civilization is to travel - across parts of Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to India. It is a linking voyage, not a reducing trip. It CONNECTS peoples, ideas, patterns, developments, organizations, wars, religions, art, architecture, food and drink. It is a human endeavor about a human story.

Learning Family in Egypt Jan 18 - Jan 29, 1999 W e headed to Cairo originally thinking of Egypt as little more than pyramids and King Tut; perhaps a pretty common image held my many. Boy, were we wrong! The history of Egypt is complex, and the vast period of time is hard to imagine. In the United States, we think of things being old when they are 150-200 years old. In Europe, Old is 500-1000 years old, or up to 2000 years. But Egypt has a rich history and culture that began over 5000 years ago! We were glad to have Susan's brother, Jon, as our guide and interpreter. It made our time in Egypt more enjoyable and much less frustrating than it would have been otherwise, and allowed us to spend more time seeing Egypt instead of having our noses in a map or an Arabic book. And rather than being carted around with a group of tourists, we were able to see places the tour buses don't go, and to linger where we had the most interest. Our brains are stuffed with great memories, as well as lots of facts, from our trip to Egypt. Learn More!

The ureaus , a symbol of Pharaonic power, has been chiseled off the Khat head cloth. Maatkare Hatshepsut (late 16th century BC – c. 1482 BC ) was the fifth Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt . She is regarded variously as the earliest known queen regnant in history, as the first known female to take the title Pharaoh, and the first great woman in history, though all of these claims are contested. Hatshepsut is generally regarded by modern Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, ruling longer than any female leader of Egypt other than Cleopatra . She was one of the most prolific builders of Ancient Egypt, commissioning hundreds of construction projects throughout the country. She also began rebuilding Egypt's trade networks which had been disrupted by the Hyksos occupation of Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period She is believed to have ruled from 1503 BC to 1482 BC Josephus quotes Manetho as stating that she reigned 21 years and 9 months, while

ANCIENT EGYPT [Excerpted from Egypt: A Country Study. Helen Chapin Metz, ed. Washington, DC: Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress, 1990] Historical Setting THE ROOTS OF EGYPTIAN civilization go back more than 6,000 years to the beginning of settled life along the banks of the Nile River. The country has an unusual geographical and cultural unity that has given the Egyptian people a strong sense of identity and a pride in their heritage as descendants of humankind's earliest civilized community. Within the long sweep of Egyptian history, certain events or epochs have been crucial to the development of Egyptian society and culture. One of these was the unification of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt sometime in the third millennium B.C. The ancient Egyptians regarded this event as the most important in their history, comparable to the "First Time," or the creation of the universe. With the unification of the "Two Lands" by the legendary, if not mythical, King Menes, the glorious Pharaonic Age began. Power was centralized in the hands of a god-king, and, thus, Egypt became the first organized society. The ancient Egyptians were the first people of antiquity to believe in life after death. They were the first to build in stone and to fashion the arch in stone and brick. Even before the unification of the Two Lands, the Egyptians had developed a plow and a system of writing. They were accomplished sailors and shipbuilders. They learned to chart the heavens in order to predict the Nile flood. Their physicians prescribed healing remedies and performed surgical operations. They sculpted in stone and decorated the walls of their tombs with naturalistic murals in vibrant colors. The legacy of ancient Egypt is written in stone across the face of the country from the pyramids of Upper Egypt to the rock tombs in the Valley of the Kings to the Old Kingdom temples of Luxor and Karnak to the Ptolemaic temples of Edfu and Dendera and to the Roman temple to Isis on Philae Island.

This began to change about ten thousand years ago when people in the Middle East discovered they could plant and harvest a wheat plant they found growing wild. At about the same time, people began to domesticate wild animals, raising them for food and as a source of power that could pull wagons and plows. (Agriculture means farming and raising livestock.) People no longer had to follow the wandering animal herds; they could settle in one place, grow crops, and eventually build towns and cities. With permanent homes, people could collect more possessions, which encouraged the invention of new technologies such as pottery making and looms for weaving. Because agriculture could support more people per square mile than hunting and gathering, human population jumped from about two million people during the early Stone Age to about 60 million during the late Stone Age.

But what is it about this ancient civilization that still captures our imaginations? What made Egypt special, allowing it to grow, in Professor Bob Brier’s words, "from a scattering of villages across the Nile to the greatest power the world had ever seen"? Professor Brier has designed this course to focus on the fascinating leaders of ancient Egypt. The information in this course is also covered in our more extensive course, The History of Ancient Egypt "My thesis in Great Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt is that what made Egypt great were the people —individuals who did great things," says Professor Brier. "By recounting the lives and accomplishments of the great ones of Egypt, we will present a history of Egypt spreading over 30 centuries. By the time we come to the last ruler of Egypt, Cleopatra, we will have peered into almost every aspect of ancient Egyptian life, seen what made Egypt great, and what finally brought about its downfall.

List of Egyptians Ancient Egypt appeared as a unified state sometime around 3300 BC . It survived as an independent state until about 1300 BC . Archeological evidence indicates that a developed Egyptian society has existed for much longer. Ongoing excavation in Egypt continually reshapes the views of scholars about the origins of Egyptian civilization. In the late 20th century archaeologists discovered evidence of human habitation before 8000 BC in an area in the southwestern corner of Egypt, near the border with Sudan. Nomadic peoples may have been attracted to that area because of the hospitable climate and environment. Now exceptionally dry, that area once had grassy plains and temporary lakes that resulted from seasonal rains. The people who settled there must have realized the benefits of a more sedentary life. Scientific analysis of the remains of their culture indicates that by 6000 BC they were herding cattle and constructing large buildings. The descendants of these people may well have begun Egyptian civilization in the Nile Valley. Also a recent genetic study links the maternal lineage of a traditional population from Upper Egypt to eastern Africa

This trend continues to speak of the perennial fascination of the wide general public with the colourful civilization of Egypt of the pharaohs, which can only be seen as extremely healthy for the growth and future development of Egyptology. Patrick F. Houlihan visited an exhibition of some of the finest pieces from collections in the US, touring some lesser-known venues. For those who would like to take in a display of Egyptian treasures, but do not live nearby one of the venues scheduled for these colossal events, or who might not wish to fight the large crowds, big-city traffic, and costs, there are a considerable number of other outstanding presentations currently underway in smaller localities on both continents. These shows are a superb opportunity to catch a view of an array of brilliant works of ancient Egyptian art. It is also quite encouraging to note that important Egyptian exhibitions are being organized in mid-sized cities, reaching even more people, where the world of the pharaohs previously, may have never been the subject of focus at the respective institutions (also see, for example, AE 3 no. 3 [2002] pp. 48-51).

Chabas regards a space at least of 4000 years, preceeding the first Dynasty as absolutely necessary to such development as Egypt possessed at the time of the fourth Dynasty. The art of the Old Empire was vigorous and full of original genius but the art of later times was stiff and conventional. The oldest religion had been pure, as proved by the monuments. The reign of Menes began about 3895 B. C. He was a prince of Upper Egypt. The records of Egypt say that prior to Menes were ten Thinite kings of Upper Egypt, the older of the two countries, as proved by this statement. There were still earlier ages when demi-gods ruled and a vast period when God himself ruled the universe. There is nothing at all in this incongruous with Bible statements. The Scriptures said that there were ten ante-diluvian patriarchs preceeding the Deluge. The Hindu, Chaldean, Arabian, Greek and Celtic chronicles named ten primitive kings. The part of Egyptian chronology, which we cannot understand is that division extending beyond the Hood. Sir J. Gardner Wilkerson in

Out of Egypt an Other Son Downloadable Script of a DVD video lecture, by Karl W. Luckert Portland Oregon Heliopolis While no land is holier than any other, there appears to be nevertheless one place on Planet Earth that qualifies as having been the religious and intellectual birth-place of Western Civilization. This place in ancient history was the city of Junu, in Egypt, dedicated to the Sun deity and named “Heliopolis” by the Greeks. The stones that formerly were assembled here for the sanctuary of Atum-Ra are scattered now. They were re-used among generations of later structures. So little is left of this place, that no travel office could show me a picture of it. I had to come here and see for myself. The ancient Sun temple that stood here, in Heliopolis, is known to have contained the bnbn -stone. And this sacred stone is believed to have been the prototype of all subsequent Egyptian obelisks. It symbolized the rising of the sungod Atum-Ra at the moment of creation. It is somewhat unlikely that this only surviving obelisk, here in Heliopolis, is the original one that stood in the main temple. But this being the only one that remains, its presence at this site is enough of a coincidence to feel inspired to quote from an ancient Pyramid Text that reminisces the first sunrise at the moment of creation (1652-55)—according to the ancient Heliopolitan “trinitarian” theology. The process begins with light and proceeds to the creation of life: "O Atum-Khoprer, you rose on high, you rose up as the
