  • Life in Egypt During the Coptic Period
    Paper Abstracts of the First International Coptic Studies Conference Life in Egypt during the Coptic Period From Coptic to Arabic in the Christian Literature of Egypt Adel Y. Sidarus Evora, Portugal After having made the point on multilingualism in Egypt under Graeco- Roman domination (2008/2009), I intend to investigate the situation in the early centuries of Arab Islamic rule (7th–10th centuries). I will look for the shift from Coptic to Arabic in the Christian literature: the last period of literary expression in Coptic, with the decline of Sahidic and the rise of Bohairic, and the beginning of the new Arabic stage. I will try in particular to discover the reasons for the tardiness in the emergence of Copto-Arabic literature in comparison with Graeco-Arabic or Syro-Arabic, not without examining the literary output of the Melkite community of Egypt and of the other minority groups represented by the Jews, but also of Islamic literature in general. Was There a Coptic Community in Greece? Reading in the Text of Evliya Çelebi Ahmed M. M. Amin Fayoum University Evliya Çelebi (1611–1682) is a well-known Turkish traveler who was visiting Greece during 1667–71 and described the Greek cities in his interesting work "Seyahatname". Çelebi mentioned that there was an Egyptian community called "Pharaohs" in the city of Komotini; located in northern Greece, and they spoke their own language; the "Coptic dialect". Çelebi wrote around five pages about this subject and mentioned many incredible stories relating the Prophets Moses, Youssef and Mohamed with Egypt, and other stories about Coptic traditions, ethics and language as well.

  • Varieties and Sources of Sandstone Used in Ancient Egyptian Temples
    The Journal of Ancient Egyptian Architecture vol. 1, 2016 Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples James A. Harrell Cite this article: J. A. Harrell, ‘Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples’, JAEA 1, 2016, pp. 11-37. JAEA www.egyptian-architecture.com ISSN 2472-999X Published under Creative Commons CC-BY-NC 2.0 JAEA 1, 2016, pp. 11-37. www.egyptian-architecture.com Varieties and sources of sandstone used in Ancient Egyptian temples J. A. Harrell1 From Early Dynastic times onward, limestone was the construction material of choice for An- cient Egyptian temples, pyramids, and mastabas wherever limestone bedrock occurred, that is, along the Mediterranean coast, in the northern parts of the Western and Eastern Deserts, and in the Nile Valley between Cairo and Esna (fig. 1). Sandstone bedrock is present in the Nile Valley from Esna south into Sudan as well as in the adjacent deserts, and within this region it was the only building stone employed.2 Sandstone was also imported into the Nile Valley’s limestone region as far north as el-‘Sheikh Ibada and nearby el-‘Amarna, where it was used for New Kingdom tem- ples. There are sandstone temples further north in the Bahariya and Faiyum depressions, but these were built with local materials. The first large-scale use of sandstone occurred near Edfu in Upper Egypt, where it was employed for interior pavement and wall veneer in an Early Dynastic tomb at Hierakonpolis3 and also for a small 3rd Dynasty pyramid at Naga el-Goneima.4 Apart from this latter structure, the earliest use of sandstone in monumental architecture was for Middle Kingdom temples in the Abydos-Thebes region with the outstanding example the 11th Dynasty mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II (Nebhepetre) at Deir el-Bahri.

  • I Dedicate This Thesis to My Father, Who Has Taught Me That Diligence and Perseverance Are the Keys to Success
    The Streets of Cairo and the Battle for Public Space Fady S. El-Sadek Thesis IDBE, Cohort 15 University of Cambridge May 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my father, who has taught me that diligence and perseverance are the keys to success. Also to the people of Egypt, who continue to prove that even the most difficult of circumstances can be turned into a goldmine of opportunities. Forward This thesis was started in September 2009 with the aim of articulating numerous problems inherent in the Cairo governments’ urban planning and development. These problems were evident in the city’s deteriorating qualities of life, paralleled by a lack of public space. The writing of this thesis was nearly complete at the onset of the people’s uprising against the Egyptian government’s neglect and abuse of its citizens. On January 25 2011, after mass collaboration on the internet, protestors gathered in the largest public space in the center of Cairo; Tahrir Square. As the protests grew in intensity, the incumbent government disconnected the nation’s mobile telephone network and internet access in an attempt to weaken public organization within the virtual public sphere. The efforts, however, were in vain as the people had already taken to the streets. Over a million people gathered in the square and aired their grievances and demands during 18 days of continuous protests that started peacefully, but turned violent when the government attempted to quell the protestors by force. Aided by the continuous media coverage of Tahrir Square, the movement managed to topple the government, and the president was forced to step down on February 11, 2011.
