  • CYBERSCRIBE-193 September 2011 Copy
    CYBERSCRIBE-193 Menhedj, Volume Two, Number 3 (September 2011) The CyberScribe would like to begin this column with a look backwards to a very important man to all of us who love ancient Egypt. I refer, of course, to Zahi Hawass. Admired, loved, hated, reviled, accused of terrible things…he is all of these things. But, he took the office as head of the Supreme Council on Antiquities (SCA) from a seldom seen, a somewhat ineffectual, and largely politically helpless agency to a dynamic power that protected and developed Egypt for us lucky visitors. Many people believed him to be a power and glory hungry person, and that may have been true in part, but modern day Egypt is far the better for his term in office. He has funneled huge sums into upgrading the sites, opening new areas and new museums, and has succeeded in generating a great deal of foreign currency for an impoverished Egypt. He is gone from the scene for now, perhaps forever as a power, but we must salute him…and offer a vote of thanks for a job that was for the most part, very well done! The Internet is filled with vicious attack websites, and laughter from those who enjoyed his fall, but that is probably the wrong tack. Yes, he has been accused of a number of criminal activities, but none of the accusations has resulted in conviction or censure. Thank you, Zahi Hawass! A site called ‘The National’ (http://tiny.cc/kuhn4) presented a nice overview, and it is presented below (with some abbreviation): ‘It is finally over for Zahi Hawass, Egypt's famous, flamboyant and controversial archaeologist.

  • The Tomb of Ja-Maat in Saqqara and Its Date 220 NASHWA GABER
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVI 2013 NASHWA GABER The Tomb of Ja-MAat in Saqqara and Its Date 220 NASHWA GABER In the autumn of 2008, the Egyptian mission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) directed by Zahi Hawass begun a systematic excavation in an area, south west of the Step Pyramid of Djeser, and northeast of the Pyramid of Unas. The site of the excavation is a part of the area known as Gisr el-Mudir, which attracted scholars’ attention since the 1990s.1 In fact, the discovery of the tomb of Qar in 2001 by the Egyptian mission2 as well as the results of the Polish mission endorsed the decision to begin the excavation in the site.3 The results of the fi rst archaeological season 2008–2009 proved that the site has a vast cemetery of middle class offi cials related to the fi rst half of the Sixth Dynasty.4 The site chosen for the excavation is located on a hill that was covered with wind-blown sand. On the surface a mixture of tafl a and limestone could be seen (Figs 1–2). THE TOMB OF IA-MAAT One of the tombs discovered by the Egyptian mission is that of Ia-Maat, which was uncovered during the archaeological season 2009. It is located in the southwestern side of the cemetery at a distance of c. 410m from the Pyramid of Djeser (Fig. 1). It was covered completely with windblown sand. The tomb was left semi-fi nished; only the lintel on the façade of the cult chapel as well as its south and west walls are decorated with reliefs.

Thesis Summary Aston University The Role of Social Agents in the Translation into English of the Novels of Naguib Mahfouz Linda Ahed Alkhawaja Doctor of Philosophy (by Research) April, 2014 This research investigates the field of translation in an Egyptain context around the work of the Egyptian writer and Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz by adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological framework. Bourdieu’s framework is used to examine the relationship between the field of cultural production and its social agents. The thesis includes investigation in two areas: first, the role of social agents in structuring and restructuring the field of translation, taking Mahfouz’s works as a case study; their role in the production and reception of translations and their practices in the field; and second, the way the field, with its political and socio-cultural factors, has influenced translators’ behaviour and structured their practices.

River transport along the inland waterways was also an integral aspect of daily life and was employed by virtually every class of society; the king and his officials had ships for commuting, as did the landowner for shipping grain, and the ‘marsh men’ who lived in the northernmost regions of the Nile Delta.

Though only sixty years of age, he had published eight books and two book-length articles, four chapters of the new revised edition of the Cambridge Ancient History, thirty-six other articles, and numerous book reviews. He had also served for nine years in Egypt on expeditions of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the institution to which he devoted his entire career, and more than four years in the United States Navy in World War II, during which he was wounded in action-both periods when scientific writing fell into the background of his activity. He was presented by the President of the United States with the bronze star medal and cited "for meritorious achievement as Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. VIGILANCE ... in the efficient and expeditious sweeping of several hostile mine fields.., and contributing materially to the successful clearing of approaches to Okinawa for our in- vasion forces." Hayes' original intention was to work in the field of medieval arche- ology.
