Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the latest research in Egyptology on the theme of Ancient Egypt in a Global World This selection of 23 papers from the 15th annual Current Research in Egyptology symposium addreses the interregional and interdisciplinary theme of ‘Ancient Egypt in a Global World’. This theme works on a number of levels highlighting the current global nature of Egyptological research and it places ancient Egypt in the wider ancient world. The first section presents the results of recent excavations, including in the western Valley of the Kings and analysis of the structures, construction techniques, food production and consumption remains at Tell Timai (Thmuis) in the Delta. Part II focuses on the cross-cultural theme with papers including discussions on the presence in India of terracotta figurines from Roman Egypt; the ancient Egyptian influence of Aegean lion-headed divinities; Libyan influence in New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period Egyptian administration and the identifcation of ancient Egyptian finds from the British countryside reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The third part of the book includes current research undertaken across the world of Egyptology, including analysis of late Roman crocodile mummies though non-invasive radiographic imaging techniques and the study of infant jar-burials in ancient Egypt and Sudan to identify differences in regional socio-economic contexts and the interaction between people and local resources. The editors of this volume are all PhD candidates at University College and King’s College London

Download or read book The Egyptians written by Sergio Donadoni and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1997-06-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptians is a vibrant, accessible introduction to the people who lived along the Nile for almost thirty-five centuries. In this collection of essays, eleven internationally renowned Egyptologists present studies of ancient Egyptians arranged by social type—slaves, craftsmen, priests, bureaucrats, the pharaoh, peasants, and women, among others. These individual essays are filled with a wealth of historical detail that both informs and fascinates: we learn, for example, that Egyptian peasants could not afford burial (their corpses were abandoned on the desert fringe), and that it was the bureaucrats who made the Egyptian system tick (the pyramids could not have been built without them). Read consecutively, the portraits merge to create a larger picture of Egyptian culture, state, and society. The framework of the Egyptian state, in particular, is touched upon in each essay, describing the meticulous administration and well-organized hierarchical system that fostered centuries of stability and prosperity.

Download or read book Wooden Furniture in Herculaneum written by Stephan T.A.M. Mols and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents an overview of the wooden furniture that has come to light since the rediscovery of Herculaneum in the 18th century, with an emphasis on the form, function and the techniques employed. The combination of comments in the excavation reports with the information derived from the surviving pieces of furniture and fittings made of other materials as well as indications for the presence of furniture in the architecture and decoration of the houses, offers a representative idea of the role of wooden furniture in the interior arrangements of the houses at Herculaneum.

This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, textile production was a key part of all ancient societies. The Ancient Near East stands out in this respect with the overwhelming amount of documentation both in terms of raw materials, line of production, and the distribution of finished products. The thirteen intriguing chapters in Textile Production and Consumption in the Ancient Near East describe the developments and changes from household to standardised, industrialised and centralised productions which take place in the region. They discuss the economic, social and cultural impact of textiles on ancient society through the application of textile tool studies, experimental testing, context studies and epigraphical as well as iconographical sources. Together they demonstrate that the textile industries, production, technology, consumption and innovations are crucial to, and therefore provide an in-depth view of ancient societies during this period. Geographically the contributions cover Anatolia, the Levant, Syria, the Assyrian heartland, Sumer, and Egypt.

Download or read book The Use of Documents in Pharaonic Egypt written by Christopher Eyre and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reconstructs the history of documentary practice in pharaonic Egypt from the early Old Kingdom to the major administrative changes imposed by the colonizing regimes of the Graeco-Roman period. Relating administrative and legal practice to the physical practicalities of the media used for writing, and through the close reading of primary textual sources, it examines how different types of documents - private and official - were created and used. It explores the ways in which the writing of documents was embedded deeply in the interactions between customary social practices, which were essentially oral, and in the penetration of outside hierarchies into local government. Eyre argues that the potential of the written document as evidence or proof was never fully exploited in the pharaonic period, even though writing was a powerful symbol and display of hierarchical authority. He presents the government as a system rooted in personal prestige and patronage structures, lacking the effective departmental hierarchies and archive systems that would represent a true bureaucratic system.

Download or read book The Cannibal Hymn written by Christopher Eyre and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cannibal Hymn forms a self-standing episode in the ritual anthology that makes up the Pyramid Texts, first appearing in the tomb of Unas at the end of the Fifth Dynasty. Its style and format are characteristic of the oral-recitational poetry of pharaonic Egypt, marked by allusive metaphor and the exploitation of wordplay and homophony in its verbal recreation of a butchery ritual. Christopher Eyre examines the text of the Cannibal Hymn in its performative and cultural context: the detailed mythologization of the sacrificial process in this hymn poses key questions about the nature of rites of passage and rituals of sacrifice in Egypt, and in particular about the mobilization of oral accompaniment to ritual actions.

Download or read book La vita quotidiana in Egitto ai tempi di Ramses written by Pierre Montet and published by Rizzoli. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Egitto al tempo di Ramses II giardini e palazzi dorati si stagliano accanto a capanne grigie e case di mattoni crudi, dove le pietre e i metalli preziosi vengono imitati con la pittura. Nei campi il sicomoro dalla vasta chioma e le tamerici abbelliscono con le loro macchie verdi il nero della terra arata; e poi risate, canti e musica riempiono gli appartamenti reali, mentre per le strade si incontrano schiavi con fagotti sulle spalle, artigiani e donne civettuole che amano adornarsi. La storia si intreccia con la leggenda, ma basandosi su reperti archeologici, iscrizioni e antichi papiri, Montet dipinge un brillante quadro della valle del Nilo del tempo, quando il volto di Ramses è scolpito ovunque nella pietra. Dai gesti più semplici ai riti più elaborati, dai costumi ai valori di un popolo solare, amante della vita ed estremamente devoto, che non si tira indietro di fronte al lavoro perché teme la carestia e ben conosce il valore di una terra unica al mondo. Per la prima volta un volume ricostruisce in modo sorprendentemente realistico la vita di tutti i giorni in un periodo così lontano e pieno di fascino: un appassionante viaggio tra i profumi e i colori dell'antico Egitto, all'epoca del suo massimo splendore e del suo faraone più grande.
