  • Noticing Neighbors: Reconsidering Ancient Egyptian Perceptions of Ethnicity
    The American University in Cairo School of Humanities and Social Sciences Noticing Neighbors: Reconsidering Ancient Egyptian Perceptions of Ethnicity A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Egyptology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts In Egyptology By Taylor Bryanne Woodcock Under the supervision of Dr. Mariam Ayad May 2014 ABSTRACT Ethnic identities are nuanced, fluid and adaptive. They are a means of categorizing the self and the ‘other’ through the recognition of geographical, cultural, lingual, and physical differences. This work examines recurring associations, epithets and themes in ancient Egyptian texts to reveal how the Egyptians discussed the ethnic uniqueness they perceived of their regional neighbors. It employs Egyptian written records, including temple inscriptions, royal and private correspondence, stelae and tomb autobiographies, and literary tales, from the Old Kingdom to the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period. The textual examples are organized by ethnic group and divided into four regions, beginning with those concerning the western groups and proceeding clockwise, ending with those concerning the southern groups. The analysis of these texts produces an understanding of the Egyptian conceptualization of ethnicity in general, and the conceptualization of distinct ethnic identities specific to the four regions surrounding Egypt. This enhances our understanding of the lexical differences through which the Egyptians distinguished their neighbors from each other. Egyptian written records do not support the belief that the ancient Egyptians only understood their foreign neighbors within the simplistic framework of four broad ‘races.’ Egyptian literature contained a multitude of primary ethnonyms for distinct ethnic groups, as well as a number of secondary, informal ethnonyms.

  • Caroline Louise Ransom Williams, 1872-1952 by Barbara S
    Caroline Louise Ransom Williams, 1872-1952 by Barbara S. Lesko America's first professionally trained woman Egyptologist was born on February 24, 1872 into a prominent Methodist family in Toledo Ohio, the daughter of John and Ella Randolph Ransom. Although she first attended the local Erie College, the fact that her aunt Louise Fitz-Randolph (q.v.) (after whom she was named) taught on the faculty of Mount Holyoke College in Massachusettes pursuaded her parents to allow Caroline Louise to finish her college years away from home. This association with her aunt proved to be the major factor in determining her life's career. Professor Louise Fitz- Randolph's field was art history. In 1896, following her graduation (Phi Beta Kappa), Caroline Louise accompanied her aunt on a grand tour of Europe, which was extended to include Egypt, and Caroline Louise fell under antiquity's spell and began to consider a career in Egyptology. By happy coincidence, the discipline of Egyptology had just been inaugurated in the United States as a degree program at the University of Chicago by the appointment of James Henry Breasted as a professor of Egyptology. Chicago was a new school, co-educational, and located in the Midwest and thus easily connected with Toledo Ohio by train. After Caroline taught at Erie College for a year, she began graduate studies at the University of Chicago 1898-1900, and received an AM in classical archaeology and Egyptology. She was regarded by Breasted as a promising scholar, and he encouraged her to continue her studies abroad, as he had done, under the leading German Egyptologists (he entertained a dim view of French Egyptologists of his day and a high regard only for the German school).

  • Coffin Texts Spell 155 on the Moon
    Birmingham Egyptology Journal Coffin Texts Spell 155 on the Moon Gyula Priskin Abstract This paper presents a fresh rendering of Coffin Texts spell 155 based on the hieroglyphic text variant that is found on the coffin of a Deir el-Bersha official, Sen. It is argued that through references to an extensive body of lunar knowledge and wide-ranging associations this spell gives an elaborate – hitherto only partially understood – description of the period of time when the moon is not visible in its monthly cycle, i.e. astronomical new moon. Keywords: Coffin Texts, Deir el-Bersha, moon, lunar day names, monthly cycle, Eye of Horus, Thoth, eye doctor, Osiris Introduction When weighing the importance of the sun and the moon in ancient Egyptian thought, for a superficial observer it may seem that the Egyptians were so preoccupied with the bright solar disc of plain daylight that the attention they paid to its nocturnal counterpart was but negligible. This is especially true for the Old Kingdom but sources from all periods of Egyptian civilization tend to point in this direction. The sun and its divine personification Ra feature heavily in cults and cosmogonies, while allusions to the moon in the same genre of texts are scant. The solar cult has throughout Egyptian history been a cornerstone of state ideology. The pharaoh has − from the Fifth Dynasty on − a ‘son of Ra’ name and many of his insignia are of solar association. In the Old Kingdom the king’s final resting place, the pyramid, was erected as the stone-built replica of the sun’s rays, while the kings of the Fifth Dynasty built not only pyramids but also sun-temples to perpetuate their own cult; not surprisingly, in the tale recorded on the Westcar Papyrus the future kings of the Fifth Dynasty are begotten by the solar deity.

  • Facsimile 1: by the Figures
    5 Facsimile 1: By the Figures O, Dry Those Tears But what about the Egyptian sources? After all, the facsimiles are Egyptian. First of all, we look, of course, for lion-couch scenes and soon discover that they are available in quantity. We also discover that there is quite a variety of such scenes, of which only a few resemble our Facsimile 1. It is these that interest us particularly, and it is gratifying to learn that a number of highly qualified Egyptologists have turned their attention to just these particular items and discovered first of all that they arenot properly funerary. Indeed, a growing number of studies are now correcting the “other-worldly” myopia of Egyptological thinking in general, showing us that “Egyptian art is not essentially a funerary art” but is “entirely oriented towards the living,” 1 that rites performed for the dead king were really “a replica This chapter consists of the last portion of “Part 7: The Unknown Abraham,” and “Part 8: Facsimile No. 1 by the Figures,” which originally appeared in the series “A New Look at the Pearl of Great Price” in IE 72 (May 1969): 89–91; (June 1969): 126–28, 130–32; (July 1969): 97–111; (August 1969): 75–87; (Sep- tember 1969): 85–95; and (October 1960): 85–88. 1.

They reflect the images of the ancient Egyptians about the life of a king after physical death and present a rich source of philological material still in need of urgent study. The correct reading of these monumental texts is necessary for an integral understanding of the funerary cult of a king.

  • Egyptology in Nazi Germany: Ideology, Scholarship, Careers
    Public lecture at the Halbert Centre for Canadian Studies Hebrew University of Jerusalem December 11, 2018 In memory of Hans Jakob Polotsky Thomas Schneider Egyptology in Nazi Germany: Ideology, Scholarship, Careers 1 Egyptology in Nazi Germany: Ideology, Scholarship, Careers In the spring of 1933, James Henry Breasted, the patron of American Egyptology, paid a visit to Berlin on his way back from then Middle East. Breasted's son Charles describes what his father reported after meeting the aged Adolf Erman, his doctoral supervisor, Kurt Sethe and the other colleagues of younger days. “To my surprise, all these German friends, who in the past abhorred politics, are now deeply interested in Hitler’s new leadership, and are all in favor of him! If their judgment is to be accepted, Hitler has united Germany – an amazing and ominous achievement!” Fig. 1: James Henry Breasted, Adolf Hitler – Consecutive “Time” covers, N. 24 and 25, 1931 After the demise of the Third Reich, Alexander Scharff, chairholder in Egyptology at the University of Munich, conceded that far too many Egyptologists had been followers of Hitler without any necessity. In a mere 12 years, Germany had lost the global leadership in Egyptology that it had held until the Nazis' rise to power. Egyptology as a discipline was sensibly struck by the fact that scholars were persecuted, dismissed, and forced to emigrate – a consequence of the Law for the restitution of Civil Service decreed by the new authorities on 7th of April 1933 in order to remove academic staff of Jewish origin and disloyal faculty, and regulations of the following years such as the Nuremberg racial laws.

  • The Decipherment of Hieroglyphs and Richard Lepsius*
    Originalveröffentlichung in: The Bulletin of the Australian Centre for Egyptology 23, 2012, S. 105-144 THE DECIPHERMENT OF HIEROGLYPHS AND RICHARD LEPSIUS* Wolfgang Schenkel Eberhard-Karls-Universitat Tiibingen (1) What does "deciphered" mean? "On September 27, 1822, the Academy in Paris was informed that hieroglyphs had been deciphered". 1 These are the words chosen in 1912, almost a century after the epochal year, by Adolf Erman, Professor of Egyptology and member of the Royal Prussion Academy, the renewer of Egyptian Philology, when he wrote his small volume "Die Hieroglyphen" for the popular Goschen series.: In fact, on that day, 27 September 1822, Jean Franqois Champollion, at short notice, was given the opportunity to provide the Paris Academy with a summary of his work on the decipherment of hieroglyphs. Even before the end of that year, the full version of his report was published in the then popular format of an open letter with an extremely drawn-out title, today referred to in brief as Leltre d M. Dacier , namely 3 "Lettre a M. Dacier, secretaire perpetuel de l'Academie Royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, relative a l'alphabet des hieroglyphes phonetiques employes par les Egyptiens pour inscrire sur leurs monuments les titres, les noms et les sumoms des souverains grecs et romains". 4 In 1922, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Champollion's decipherment, it is again Erman who draws attention to another open letter written by Lepsius in 1837, the Lettre a M. ... Rosellini with the full title5 "Lettre a M. le Professeur H. Rosellini, membre de l'lnstitut de correspondance archeologique etc.

  • Baumgartel 1892-1975 by Renee Friedman
    Elise Jenny Baumgartel 1892-1975 by Renee Friedman To those who knew her, if only near the end of her life, Elise Baumgartel is remembered as a distinct presence. A woman of strongly held beliefs, she found great pleasure in sharing her opinions in animated discussions in the library at the Griffith Institute, Oxford, especially with young students whose open-mindedness she relished. While many of the idiosyncratic convictions about the Predynastic period in Egypt which she published in her influential monographs The Cultures of Prehistoric Egypt I, II, have not withstood the test of time, she was a keen observer with an original mind who freely gave of her time and encouraged those around her to question received wisdom. Unfortunately little is known about her early life and the influences which motivated her inquiring mind. What information is available illustrates a wide variety of interests and an apparently insatiable desire to see and judge for herself which led to a peripatetic existence of travel and work within the important archaeological collections and sites of Europe, the Middle East and the United States. Elise Baumgartel was born on October 5, 1892 in Berlin. The daughter of the successful architect Rudolf Goldschmidt, she was received her early education at home with a French governess. Her initial interest at the University of Berlin was medicine, but she later studied Egyptology under two of the greatest Egyptologists of the time, Adolf Erman and Kurt Sethe. The sound philological training she received from these two leaders in the field was to be of great use to her later.
