ENGLISH CONT'D OVER ARABICPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S 2 #1 - TOP 10 EGYPTI AN LEADERS : KHUFU 2 1. Pharaoh Khufu is known as being a very mean, cruel ruler toward both his kingdom and his large family. Stories found on documents such as the Westcar Papyrus reflect Khufu in this negative light and attribute his cruelty to frustration at trying to prolong the reign of himself and his sons. 2. Khufu’s parents were Pharaoh Sneferu and Queen Hetepheres I. He is believed to have had four wives, nine sons, and fifteen daughters. His son Djedefra succeeded his throne. One of his daughters became Queen Hetepheres II. 3. Khufu was also known as Cheops or Suphis. His complete name was actually Khnum- Khufu, which means “the god Khnum protects me.” 4. The length of Khufu's reign is greatly debated by different sources. Some sources claim that he ruled for 23 years, while other sources claim 50 or even 63 years. We do know that Khufu was part of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. He was the 2nd pharaoh of the 4th dynasty, and he reigned from roughly 2589 to 2566 BC. 5. Khufu is most well-known for building the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and, surprisingly, the most well preserved. For a period of 3,800 years, it was the highest man-made edifice in the world. The Great Pyramid is part of the Giza Necropolis. It is the oldest and largest of three pyramids located in the Giza Necropolis.

ENGLISH 1. Hatshepsut CONT'D OVER ARABICPOD101.COM ADVANCED AUDIO BLOG S 2 #2 - TOP 10 EGYPTI AN LEADERS : HATS HEPS UT 2 2. Most archeologists who specialize in Egyptian history agree that Hatshepsut was one of the most successful pharaohs in the nation’s ancient history. She ascended to the throne after the death of her husband and half-brother, Thutmose II. She was the longest reigning female pharaoh of any Egyptian dynasty that came from within the country itself. Her name certainly does seem fitting, as it means “foremost of noble ladies” in English. 3. The policies Hatshepsut and her husband were very similar, so many historians believe she heavily influenced her husband while he was pharaoh. Most experts believe that she reigned for 22 years, although the exact beginning of her reign is not known precisely. Some sources state that she only reigned for 21 years and nine months. Among her accomplishments, she reconnected a number of trade routes that had been cut when the Hyksos occupied her country. She also paid for a trip to the Land of Punt so that they could bring back some important trade goods. 4. She was also known as one of the most successful builders in ancient Egypt. Almost every museum in the world has a statute that was commissioned during her reign, simply because there were so many. She was so successful in building that a few pharaohs who came after her attempted to take credit for her work. 5. Hatshepsut died in her 50s, although no cause of death has been recorded. A more recent forensic examination of her body suggests that she did suffer from diabetes and that the cause of her death was actually bone cancer.

    Recovering Nonviolent History Civil Resistance in Liberation Struggles edited by Maciej J. Bartkowski boulder london 7 Egypt: Nonviolent Resistance in the Rise of a Nation-State, 1805 –1922 Amr Abdalla and Yasmine Arafa In this chapter, we identify and examine important episodes of Egyptians’ nonviolent resistance against foreign domination in the nine - teenth century, including the 1805 revolution, the 1881 Orabi movement, nonviolent organizing against the British occupation after 1882, and the 1919 revolution that led to Egypt’s formal independence in 1922. Often, the focus on the role of political elites, elite-driven events, bru - tal internal political strife, aggressive foreign interventions, armed resis - tance, and violence overshadows seemingly less visible but no less impor - tant people-driven nonviolent actions. Sometimes, the stories of mass nonviolent resistance are ignored altogether, even in well-respected aca - demic publications. For example, The Cambridge History of Egypt offers only a few lines on the events of 1805, overlooking entirely the civilian-led nonviolent mobilization. 1 In this chapter, we aim to create greater aware - ness about the history of nonviolent actions in Egypt’s struggle against for - eign domination and offer insights into their role and effectiveness and their contribution to strengthening a national fabric—the process that eventually led to the emergence of a truly nationwide and nonviolent movement ex - emplified by the 1919 revolution. We also make some references to the 2011 revolution in order to emphasize similar nonviolent patterns that seem to have been present in both the 1919 revolution and the events that led to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak’s departure under the pressure of a pop - ular nonviolent uprising.

    Mechanical Engineering in Ancient Egypt, Part 45: Birds Statues (Falcon and Vulture)

    International Journal of Emerging Engineering Research and Technology Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2017, PP 39-48 ISSN 2349-4395 (Print) & ISSN 2349-4409 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.22259/ijeert.0503004 Mechanical Engineering in Ancient Egypt, Part 45: Birds Statues (Falcon and Vulture) Galal Ali Hassaan (Emeritus Professor), Department of Mechanical Design & Production, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt ABSTRACT The evolution of mechanical engineering in ancient Egypt is investigated in this research paper through studying the production of statues and figurines of falcons and vultures. Examples from historical eras between Predynastic and Late Periods are presented, analysed and aspects of quality and innovation are outlined in each one. Material, dynasty, main dimension (if known) and present location are also outlined to complete the information about each statue or figurine. Keywords: Mechanical engineering, ancient Egypt, falcon statues, vulture statues INTRODUCTION This is the 45th paper in a scientific research aiming at presenting a deep insight into the history of mechanical engineering during the ancient Egyptian civilization. The paper handles the production of falcon and vulture statues and figurines during the Predynastic and Dynastic Periods of the ancient Egypt history. This work depicts the insight of ancient Egyptians to birds lived among them and how they authorized its existence through statuettes and figurines. Smith (1960) in his book about ancient Egypt as represented in the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston presented a number of bird figurines including ducks from the Middle Kingdom, gold ibis from the New Kingdom and a wooden spoon in the shape of a duck and lady from the New Kingdom [1].

Esposito Received: 6 August 2015 / Accepted: 23 September 2015 / Published: 5 November 2015 Abstract: This articles explores the explosion of artistic production in the Arab world during the so-called Arab Spring. Focusing on music, poetry, theatre, and graffiti and related visual arts, I explore how these “do-it-yourself” scenes represent, at least potentially, a “return of the aura” to the production of culture at the edge of social and political transformation. At the same time, the struggle to retain a revolutionary grounding in the wake of successful counter-revolutionary moves highlights the essentially “religious” grounding of “committed” art at the intersection of intense creativity and conflict across the Arab world. Keywords: Arab Spring; revolutionary art; Tahrir Square What to do when military thugs have thrown your mother out of the second story window of your home? If you’re Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuta, Africa’s greatest political artist, you march her coffin to the Presidential compound and write a song, “Coffin for Head of State,” about the murder. Just to make sure everyone gets the point, you use the photo of the crowd at the gates of the Presidential compound with the coffin as the album cover [1].

What little we know about her comes from her tomb: G 7000x at Giza. This tomb lies close to the pyramid of her son, Khufu, in the eastern sector of the Giza cemetery (see Figure. 1). The queen's tomb, which is really only a burial chamber at the foot of a 27 metre deep shaft, close to the pyramid of Khufu, was discovered by the Harvard-Boston team, led by Dr. George Reisner, in 1925. The tomb had not been plundered by robbers, and its preservation was certainly due to the fact that the entrance to the burial shaft had been concealed in the pavement in front of Khufu's mortuary temple.

    Faten Hamama and Hind Rustom: Stars from Different Heavens

    24 al-raida Issue 122 - 123 | Summer / Fall 2008 Faten Hamama and Hind Rustom: Stars from Different Heavens Jean Said Makdissi One of the current topics in critical discussions on the Arab cinema is the gendered nature of nationalist and national themes. It has been repeatedly said that in the Egyptian cinema, Egypt itself is often represented by an idealized woman. Both Viola Shafik (1998) and Lina Khatib (2006) make much of this idea, and investigate it with reference to particular films. In this context the idealizing title sayidat al-shasha al-arabiyya, (i.e. the lady of the Arab screen) has been universally granted to Faten Hamama, the grande dame of the Egyptian cinema and one of the most prolific of its actresses, and thus she is the ideal embodiment on the screen not only of Egyptian and Arab womanhood, but also of Egypt’s view of itself and of the Arab world. To study the output of Faten Hamama is to have an idea of how Egyptians – and perhaps all Arabs – like to see themselves, and especially their women. But to arrive at a clearer idea of the self-definition of the Arab world and its fantasy of the feminine ideal I believe it would be helpful to contrast her work with that of Hind Rustom, who both in her physical appearance and the persona she represents on screen is almost directly antithetical to Faten. In preparation for this article I have seen more than two dozen films, and of course drawn on decades of experience with the Egyptian cinema.

While historically defensible, in that Egypt preceded these others in having its own studios and industry, such an assessment nonetheless tends to foreclose on the possibilities for those films inhabiting the “non-Egyptian” model ever be accorded the status of popular cinema. Moreover, where local distribution and exhibition for North African films has been historically partial or non-existent (due to commercial decisions that have historically favored Egyptian, Indian, and Euro-American productions), it has been difficult for many directors in countries like Morocco to avoid the charge that their films—which are often more visible in European festivals than at home—are made for other markets or audiences. Whether in sympathy with the idea of distinctive local or national cinemas and resistance to cultural hegemony, or in suspicion of the politics of international funding and coproduction, many critical treatments of non-Egyptian Arab films make of the popular an evaluative term that signifies local authenticity and a resistance towards European art cinema tendencies and that privileges commercial success over experimentation.
