ANCIENT PERSPECTIVES ON ANCIENT EGYPT Chair Professor of Ancient Near Eastern History, Department of History, University College London Monday 16 December Egyptanizing Motifs in Meroitic Culture Frances Welsh Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London After a brief but successful period of ruling Egypt as the 25 th Dynasty the kings of Napata returned to their southern home base in the Sudan. Thereafter, as an independent kingdom, based first at Napata and later at Meroe, their separate culture developed in an individual manner. Existing African cultural elements were retained, but many motifs and features from Egyptian sources, which had been assimilated during the preceding centuries of contact, remained evident, especially in religious iconography, funerary architecture and presentation of kingship. It seems that these were considered useful to enhance their prestige although classic Egyptian aspects were adapted to suit Sudanese cultural needs. Objects excavated at Meroe by Professor J. Garstang and now in the collection of the Petrie Museum indicate the importance of Egyptian motifs such as the ram of Amun-Ra, kheperi scarab beetle, and the ankh life sign. Decoration and monuments of the Meriotic period provide additional evidence of this. The significance of funerary pyramids with chapels and changes in their decorative programme appears to be related to the public role of kingship. Colossal statuary, reliefs of the ruler smiting enemies, and the ruler shown among the gods on temple walls enhances this.

Index by Year Understanding the Lives of Ancient Egyptians by Deanna Kiser, Near Eastern Studies When teaching students about an ancient culture, one invariably encounters a fundamental problem: the students perceive the culture, especially one as far-removed in time as ancient Egypt, as an abstract entity. In other words, the daily activities and concerns of the earlier society's participants are lost on modern people, who view the entire culture as dead. This affects new students to the field in particular. They have not had the training and immersion in the various aspects of ancient Egyptian culture that would enable them to extrapolate what it was like to have lived in that ancient world. I have found that helping Egyptology students to identify with the ancient Egyptians generates more enthusiasm for the subject matter and makes it meaningful to them. Next, the class is asked to participate in an exercise with the goal of gleaning as much information as possible about daily life in ancient Egypt by studying tomb models. The students are separated into groups, each with several photographs of a tomb model. They may also use the actual models on exhibit in the gallery. The group is asked to select a recorder to write down their observations and a reporter to present their findings towards the end of the discussion section. Each group is to address the following questions in their project, from most concrete to most abstract:

The Stanford Egyptian Association (SEA) provides a forum for Egyptians and others interested in Egypt to meet and get to know one another. It also assists them in their social, academic, and professional life at and beyond Stanford. The association fosters relations with Egyptians in the community and in industry. The club was created in 1998 and continues to provide a venue through which interested students and members of the community can learn, and exchange ideas and opinions, about Egypt and Egyptian culture. The SEA also attempts to raise awareness of the Egyptian culture: from its ancient roots to what it is today. By way of seminars, social events and collaboration with other clubs at Stanford, the SEA hopes to communicate the uniqueness of Egyptian culture to the community. In collaborating with other Egyptian associations nation-wide, the SEA hopes to provide its members with an opportunity to build strong ties with other Egyptians across the nation and around the world. Check out our calendar to find out what the SEA is planning in the near future. Link to our officers page to find out more about us.

Precious Gem Stones in Ancient Egyptian Culture Egypt had very productive emerald mines and jewels were among the principal objects introduced to Egypt from Arabia and India, so the Egyptian jewelers were very expert. Jewels were among the principal objects introduced into Egypt from Arabia and India. The mines of their own desert did, indeed, supply emeralds, and these were worked as early, at least, as the reign of Amunoth III, or 1425 years B.C., but many other stones must have come from India. In ancient Egypt, when a case was brought up for trial, it was customary for the archjudge to put a gold chain round his neck, to which was attached a jewelled figure of Thmei, or truth. Jewels and gold were amongst the ornaments of the rich, consisting of earrings, armlets, bracelets, anklets, finger-rings, chains, plates for wearing on the breast, etc. Of such bijouterie there are a considerable number of specimens in the British Museum, as there are also examples from Kouyunjik (Nineveh), of about 700 years B.C.; with necklaces and ear-rings from Babylon, of somewhat later date. A bracelet is inscribed with the name of Namrut (Nimrod), dating 500 years B.C. bodyOffer(501319) The Egyptian and Assyrian jewellers were very expert. They could cut the hardest stones by some method unknown to us, and engrave and polish them.

It says a great deal about the appeal of Egyptian culture that you are here on a Friday evening in June in Washington rather than attending one of Washington’s many other attractions. As for me, I spent four years living in Egypt, and I am absolutely delighted to have 7,000 years of Egyptian life and culture visiting us here in Washington. I want to thank all of the people who made this magnificent symposium and the entire Egypt culture week possible, starting with my colleague sharing the podium, Mohamed Salmawy, and my good friend Zahi Hawass, who opened this symposium yesterday. With scholars like them, it is little wonder that Egyptian culture is still going strong after 7,000 years. I also want to thank the Egyptian Embassy, and particularly Ambassador Fahmy, as good a representative as Egypt could have, for conceiving this initiative to bring a taste of contemporary Egyptian culture and scholarship to Washington. The Embassy has assembled a group of Egypt’s intellectual and creative best. It is also a real treat to have had the opportunity to again hear some of Egypt’s wonderful musicians. They truly have given a glimpse of traditional and folk music from all along the Nile to those of us here living on the banks of the Potomac.

It examines the interaction between the Greek-speaking elite and the indigenous population, Hellenism and pharaonic culture, and the impact upon the heterogenous culture which developed as a result of this by the Roman occupation and the resultant changes which were imposed. It will draw upon and analyse a wide range of sources from the archaeological to papyrological and literary. A major theme is the way in which aspects of the indigenous culture survived and even flourished until the advent of Christianity. Objectives: On successful completion of this unit the student will have: 1. A detailed knowledge of Egyptian culture during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. 2. An understanding of the complexity and changing nature of Egyptian culture as a result first of the introduction of Hellenism and then the Roman occupation upon traditional culture. 3. The ability to appraise critically ancient and secondary source material, and combine a variety of types of evidence in the analysis of ancient culture. 4. Independent research skills and the ability to undertake individual research projects, which are presented in a clearly expressed and cogent manner.

When we think about Egypt; we think of Islam, Al-Azhar University, Pharaoh, camels, pyramids, mummies oh and yes, Umm Zubair often come to mind! That's not surprising since much of what we know about ancient Egypt comes from the tombs of Egyptians and the objects found buried with them. No one knows exactly what life was like in ancient Egypt, but these objects tell us a lot. Egyptian fashion, religious beliefs, recreational activities, and much more can be explored through the art they created and included in their burials. This page will allow you to research the country of both Ancient and Modern Egypt, along with providing you with various interactive and hands on activities currently found on the Web.

Egyptians apparently also were among the first humans to crack jokes. This sense of humor still pervades Egyptian society. When a passenger in a Cairo taxi complains about a cockroach in the car, the driver shares his irritation at the fact that the insect has not paid for the ride. "Historically Egyptians have always been ruled by a strong central government. Joking was a unifying act of an oppressed people," said sociologist Issam Fawzi.

What do the place where people chose to live and the way in which they structure their society around it say about those people? In this lesson students will explore how geographical features, both physical and cultural, of a place can give us insights into the lives of the people who have settled there, with Egypt as the primary example. Students will use maps to examine the design and location of ancient Egypt's tombs and pyramids. They will examine cultural and geographic evidence as clues for understanding the structure and placement of these historical landmarks. They will then explore the implications of caring for these structures in the future. Connections to the Curriculum: Geography, world history, anthropology, architecture
