A number of factors have combined together, yielding the magnificence of such museum, as it is the only unique open museum of its kind.

The response of the (UNESCO), in fact, came fast, as it called upon the international community to contribute to this project.

A word of caution This site is based on what is considered more or less orthodox chronology, which of course means that there are other, deviant chronologies. On the whole I prefer the plodding examination of facts however few and poorly understood to the flights of fancy of some of the alternative historians. Chances are it gets us a bit closer to the truth, which, unless timetravel is invented, we will never know. One would like to think that physical remains should leave little to doubt. But stone artefacts and buildings are remarkably difficult to date [ ]. Theories - from the sublime to the ridiculous - of when, how, why and by whom the Great Pyramids, for instance, have been erected, are legion.

Life in Ancient Egypt Introduction Ancient Egyptian civilization was one of the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world. The history of Ancient Egypt is an extensive one, lasting approximately 3,000 years. Over this time span, the Ancient Egyptians made unprecedented advances in many areas of society including, but not limited to, science, mathematics, agriculture, religion and government. Ancient Egyptians, however, are unique in that, although they were extremely technologically and socially advanced, they were also closely tied to nature in nearly every aspect of their lives. In studying the Ancient Egyptians, one soon learns how they, unlike many civilizations which have followed, had a very unique and powerful symbiotic relationship with nature their environment. Because of the extreme differences which exist between American and Ancient Egyptian culture, it is naturally difficult to fully appreciate the connection between culture and nature which existed in Ancient Egypt . Religion, a key component of Ancient Egyptian civilization, played a large part in virtually every aspect of Ancient Egyptian culture. With that said, Ancient Egyptian religion was also very closely tied to nature. Nearly all aspects of Ancient Egyptian religion can be traced in some way, shape, or form to their immediate environment. Amongst other aspects of nature, the Ancient Egyptians used the sun and the Nile River to make many of their advances.

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful Art of the Mamluks Art Of The Mamluks, by Dr. Esin Atil , published by the Smithsonian Press. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C., 1981 Esin Atil Publication made possible by a grant from United Technologies Corporation. About the Author: Esin Atil, a native of Turkey, received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Atil has been curator of Near Eastern art at the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Historical Summary: Mamluk Empire (1250 - 1517 AD) Following the Ayyubid state in 1250 AD, the Mamluk sultans established a formidable empire, ruling Egypt, Syria, and Palestine for more than two hundred and fifty years, their frontiers extending from southeatern Anatolia to the Hijaz and incorporating parts of Sudan and Libya. Soon after coming to power, they defeated the mongols and explled the last of the Crusaders from the Near East. Trade and agriculture flourshied under Mamluk rule, and Cairo, their capital, became one of the wealthiest cities in the Near East and the center of artistic and intellectual activity. It also became the seat of the caliphate and, thus, the most prestegious capital in the Islamic world. Illuminated Manuscripts The exquiste illuminations, calligraphy, and bindings of Mamluk Korans are unequaled in any other Islamic tradition of bookmaking. The technical and artistic virtousity found in these manuscipts is representative of the Mamluks, who, embracing Islam with the fervor of converts, endowed elaborate religious complexes and supplied each major foundation with its set of Korans.

EGYPT AT THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION OF 1876 By Kathleen Cohrs As a person living in 1998, when I think of Egypt images of pyramids automatically pop into my mind. I think of pharaohs, gods and goddesses. I picture vast deserts with a pyramid built here or there and maybe a camel or two sillowhetted against the background of the sky. I do not think of Egypt having any sort of connection to anything modern whatsoever. Now this image of Egypt could be called ignorant by some or just simply the fact that my image of Egypt could be the product of stereotypical beliefs that have developed over time. Either way, my picture of Egyptian life is a bit misguided. These are the thoughts of an individual living in the twentieth century, just imagine what an individual who lived during the year 1876 might have believed about Egypt. In essence, part of the meaning behind the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 was to change these stereotypical beliefs. Of course another big reason behind the exhibition was to produce economic benefits by all involved; but many countries chose to participate in the Exhibition with hopes to bring knowledge of their culture to others throughout the world.
