Book excerpt: Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet is a collection of early essays written by the author dating to the time of his graduate work in African History at Hunter College of the City University of New York in the late 1970 and early 1980s. The Table of Contents reads: Africa; Diop; Culture for Liberation; The Fascination of Egyptian Archaeology; The Egyptian Tomb; The Nile Valley in World Antiquity History; The Priesthood; Sakkara; Upper Egypt/Kemet; Temple of Isis; Karnak; The Temple of Luxor; Abydos; The Dance, Music and Musical Instruments; African Art; North Africa: Egypt, Kush, Ethiopia; Time Measurement; Pharaonic Crowns, Names and Regalia; The Nile River; Kemetic Technology/Sciences; Yosef ben-Jochannan; The Blessing; and References. The first essay, Africa, deals with the muddle of the presentation of Egypt, its denigration of the role of Africans in that cultural development; and how the primary and secondary American school system has failed the African American youth in teaching and reinforcing their connection with this ancient African cultural development in the Nile Valley. Hardly another single work mirroring Diop, has had as profound an impact as that reviewed work entitled, African Origins of Civilization: Myth or Reality. The Senegalese scholar has analyzed and rectified the historical record regarding the proper portrayal of blacks in Egypt. He has gone beyond and demolished the myth of Europe and Asia in origins and significant contributions in the foundations and progression of the culture. The other Essays focus on the little historical, social, economic, artistic, cultural and philosophical issues and features, in totality, that created the great culture cluster of Egypt and the Nile Valley. The Tribute to Dr. ben-Jochannan has meaning to the author, for the respected elder, historian, teacher and friend, showed the way to many other students as well, that ancient Kemet/Egypt was a prize worth learning about, fighting for, and defending. The Blessing is just that, for critics and those who complement this work. The photographs, illustrations and plans of various temples presents a pictorial view and helps to reinforce the text message that Egypt is a wonderful cultural experience. The book is useful for the general reader, students and even the expert scholar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Prof. Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on Egyptian human remains, reassessments of ancient Egyptian texts and modern experimental archaeology, these essays try to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: How did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made? A number of leading experts in their fields combine both traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific techniques to ancient material. The resulting overview presents the state of Egyptology in 2016, how it has developed over the last forty years, and how many of its big questions still remain the same.

Book Synopsis Research Essays on Ancient Egypt by : Frederick Monderson
Download or read book Research Essays on Ancient Egypt written by Frederick Monderson and published by Sumon Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RESEARCH ESSAYS ON ANCIENT EGYPT Would you like to be more aware of what's new in Egypt regarding the ancient culture? Are you aware of how the Egyptians are enhancing their treasures and what restrictions are being placed on visitors to these historic sites? Nevertheless, you can still enjoy a memorable visit given the wonders of the monuments, tremendous effort expended to enhance security and safety of these treasures and still partake of the wonderful hospitality and food fare the Egyptians are so famous for. Therefore, ... Research Essays on Ancient Egypt is a collection of early essays written by the author, Dr. Frederick Monderson, and expanded for a series of lectures delivered, during February, Black History Month, 2004, at the St. John's Recreation Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Table of Contents labels the chapters Introduction I, II, III and IV; Who were the Egyptians?; The Religion of Ancient Egypt; The Egyptian Temple; History of Egypt; The Archaeology of Ancient Egypt; The Architecture of Ancient Egypt; The Power of One; Metals, Men and Materials; The Art of Ancient Egypt; Egyptian Warfare; Egyptian Technology; Science in Ancient Egypt; Gold of Egypt; Pharaonic Taxation; The King; The Conspiracy Against Ancient Egypt; and, Suggestions for Further Reading. A historian by training and Egyptologist by vocation, the author dedicated an inordinate amount of time focusing on the quintessential nuts and bolts issues that contributed to the totality of ancient Egyptian civilization. The first two Introductions deal with the "emergence of man in Africa," having taught this for years; while the second addresses changes encountered in 2005 as contemporary Egyptians further modernized their facilities and become stricter about the ancient monuments. Egypt 2008 and Egypt 2010 as Introductions III and IV bring the reader up to the most modern developments in the ancient land and elaborates on restriction now being placed on visitors to the monuments. The other essays are extensively researched, to essentially add fuel to the pro and con discussion regarding the nature and dynamics of the "Origins of the Egyptians" and "The Conspiracy Against Ancient Egypt." More importantly, however, a great deal is presented to highlight and add color to the technical, cultural, religious and philosophic aspects of the Egyptian experience that has endeared this ancient African culture in the minds and hearts of humanity, down through the ages, and still it retains a magnetic attraction to this day. The photographs, illustrations, plans, papyrus art and entrance tickets of temples create an enjoyable pictorial imagery of the phenomenal civilization of Egypt/Kemet/Tawi in all its timelessness. This is indeed a highly comprehensive and informative yet easily readable book that provides food for thought for the student, the scholar and the general reader.

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 378 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.
