Book Synopsis The Saqqara Necropolis through the New Kingdom by : Nico Staring
Download or read book The Saqqara Necropolis through the New Kingdom written by Nico Staring and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive monographic treatment of the New Kingdom (1539–1078 BCE) necropolis at Saqqara, the burial ground of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and addresses questions fundamental to understanding the site’s development through time. For example, why were certain areas of the necropolis selected for burial in certain time periods; what were the tombs’ spatial relations to contemporaneous and older monuments; and what effect did earlier structures have on the positioning of tombs and structuring of the necropolis in later times? This study adopts landscape biography as a conceptual tool to study the long-time interaction between people and landscapes.

Book Synopsis Ancient Egyptian Furniture by : Geoffrey Killen
Download or read book Ancient Egyptian Furniture written by Geoffrey Killen and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised second edition Dr Killen continues his survey of Egyptian furniture-making techniques with a study of boxes, chests and footstools and traces their evolution from the earliest times. Wooden, papyrus and alabaster boxes and chests were used to hold, protect and store valuable objects, toilet utensils, instruments, tools, garments, curtains, game pieces and papyri amongst other things. Those from the Old Kingdom usually had flat lids and solid board sides, tied together at the corners. During later periods carcase construction became so sophisticated, with the introduction of frame and panel work, that it was possible to construct barrel, shrine and pent-shaped lids. Later chests were elaborately painted, some with funerary scenes, painted with hieroglyphs or had gilt fretwork decoration applied to the sides and lid. This book is copiously illustrated with drawings and photographs and contains a catalogue of additional known pieces of Egyptian furniture preserved in museum collections.
Book Synopsis A Research Guide to the Ancient World by : John M. Weeks
Download or read book A Research Guide to the Ancient World written by John M. Weeks and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The archaeological study of the ancient world has become increasingly popular in recent years. A Research Guide to the Ancient World: Print and Electronic Sources, is a partially annotated bibliography. The study of the ancient world is usually, although not exclusively, considered a branch of the humanities, including archaeology, art history, languages, literature, philosophy, and related cultural disciplines which consider the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean world, and adjacent Egypt and southwestern Asia. Chronologically the ancient world would extend from the beginning of the Bronze Age of ancient Greece (ca. 1000 BCE) to the fall of the Western Roman Empire (ca. 500 CE). This book will close the traditional subject gap between the humanities (Classical World; Egyptology) and the social sciences (anthropological archaeology; Near East) in the study of the ancient world. This book is uniquely the only bibliographic resource available for such holistic coverage. The volume consists of 17 chapters and seven appendixes, arranged according to the traditional types of library research materials (bibliographies, dictionaries, atlases, etc.). The appendixes are mostly subject specific, including graduate programs in ancient studies, reports from significant archaeological sites, numismatics, and paleography and writing systems. These extensive author and subject indexes help facilitate ease of use.

Book Synopsis The Tomb and Beyond by : Naguib Kanawati
Download or read book The Tomb and Beyond written by Naguib Kanawati and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a much needed summary overview of the key elements of Egyptian tomb form, use and decoration over time. The tombs, with their scenes, inscriptions, objects and human remains, represent our richest source of information for the understanding of Egyptian beliefs and practices, art and architecture and of many aspects of daily life. Detailed, scholarly reports on individual cemeteries and tombs are abundant but in this fully illustrated, more general work, reproduced in this facsimile edition, Kanawati provides an invaluable introduction to, and overview of, the key elements of Egyptian tombs from Predynastic to the Late Period. The Egyptian dead enjoyed a continued existence in both the Netherworld and the land of the living – the individual possessing multiple entities that experienced different destinies after death. The tomb provided an everlasting earthly dwelling and consisted of a chapel above ground where the deceased’s cult was maintained and offerings presented, and a burial chamber for the body. Either or both could be richly decorated with paintings, reliefs and inscriptions. Kanawati describes and illustrates the principal forms and features of architecture and nature and subject matter of decoration and demonstrates how tomb design and decoration changed through time.

Book excerpt: Celebrating the career of Shafik Allam, an Egyptologist known for his expertise in Ancient Egyptian legal theory and practice, this collection of articles offered by leading scholars explores such diverse subjects as a reading of the psychology of a sly stone carver in the deliberately clumsy work on an unfinished tomb in Saqqara; the echoes of ancient Egyptian beliefs and superstitions that are found today in certain folkloric practices and folktales; the owner of a newly-discovered decorated tomb in Saqqara is identified as an individual named Remni and placed in context as a close intimate of King Teti; an examination of the interior walls of Khufu's pyramid that through analysis of the camouflaging techniques used on them proposes a more complex architecture inside the great structure than has been previously understood; and other articles explore Coptic inscriptions on stelae from Middle Egypt, the Demotic inscriptions on the coffins of ibis, and two previously unpublished fourth century BCE papyri in Demotic from the sacred animal necropolis at Saqqara are interpreted, one discussing the plundering of a vineyard, and the other the repayment of a debt in silver.

Book Synopsis The Senedjemib Complex: The Mastabas of Senedjemib Inti (G 2370), Khnumenti (G 2374), and Senedjemib Mehi (G 2378) by : Edward Brovarski
Download or read book The Senedjemib Complex: The Mastabas of Senedjemib Inti (G 2370), Khnumenti (G 2374), and Senedjemib Mehi (G 2378) written by Edward Brovarski and published by Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This book was released on 2001 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume study of the Senedjemib Complex at Giza by Edward Borovarski owes a great debt to the work of Richard Lepsius in the mid-19th century and George A Reisner who excavated there in the early 20th century. The tombs of Senedjemib Inti (G2370), Khnumenti (G2374) and Senedjemib Mahi (G2378) which form the focus of this publication are three of the largest tombs in the complex, located at the northwest corner of the Great Pyramid. Excavations in 1912-13 revealed that the tombs of Mahi and Inti formed part of a great complex of family tombs erected around a paved court, and that four generations of the Senedjemib family served as viziers of Egypt and royal architects over a hundred year period in the later old Kingdom. Voluem one includes a complete history and description of all three tombs. Through the decoration and architecture of these tombs Brovarski traces the increasing trend in the elaboration of family tombs from the end of the fifth dynasty to the end of the sixth. Volume one also contains two lengthy autobiographical inscriptions.
Book Synopsis Copper in Ancient Egypt by : Martin Odler

Book excerpt: The first comprehensive and up-to-date overview of what we know about the use of copper by the ancient Egyptians and Nubians, from the Predynastic through the Early Dynastic until the end of the Second Intermediate Period (c. 4000-1600 BC). The monograph presents a story, based on the analysis of available evidence, a synchronic and diachronic reconstruction of the development and changes of the chaîne opératoire of copper and copper alloy artefacts. The book argues that Egypt was not isolated from the rest of the ancient world and that popular notions of its "primitive" technology are not based on facts.
