The work on the finds collected in past seasons was continued. The small finds, pottery from the Old Kingdom, Nubian pottery, seal impressions of the Old Kingdom, pottery of the Greek-Roman and Late Roman Period, lithic finds, textiles as well as human and animal bones were studied. The epigraphic documentation of the Graeco-Roman temples of Satet and Khnum, as well as the survey on rock-inscriptions, was continued. Restoration work focussed on the central part of the town of the Third Millennium BC . Small scale investigations were carried out in the building complex of the late Old Kingdom, in the temple of Khnum and its later occupation, the strata of the Middle Kingdom opposite the Festival Courtyard, and the occupation levels of the late 2 nd Millennium south of the sanctuary of Heqaib (fig. 1-2). * Participants were D.

The continuation of the stratum XVIII, the building complex of the <http://www.dainst.org/medien/en/daik_ele35_rep_en.pdf> 2006 Report on the 35 th Season of Excavation and Restoration on the Island of Elephantine 4 late 6 th Dynasty, was revealed 1. The group of rooms belongs to an architectural unit north of the eastern part of the major street that divides the town and that runs in east-west direction under the courtyard of the Roman Period. The width of the street is still difficult to determine. It may measure up to more than 3 m but it is also possible that north of the central bakery, an open space existed. The entrance to the rooms is over a stone threshold from the south. There follow three rooms with very thick (0.75 - 0.8m) walls that are extraordinarily well plastered. One of the doorways measures 1.2 m in width: double that of an ordinary interior door in this stratum. Unfortunately there is no further information about the function of these rooms to date. Except for small amounts of pottery, no further finds came to light in this building. In addition, beehive-cellars were dug in the 1 st Intermediate Period in almost every room, destroying the initial occupation layers of the building. A completely preserved example of such a cellar was found, measuring 1.4 m in height and 1.65m at its maximum diameter. Slight traces of stratification seem to attest the proper cleaning of the rooms during the period of their use. This seems to be typical for administrative units and rooms with an official character in general. fig.3: Elephantine, Area XXX/XXXI/XXIV, building complex of the late 3 rd millennium BC 1 For previous work in this area in the strata of 6 th dyn., see D.

Area XXXIV: Southern extension of the earliest necropolis of Elephantine (Pl. II) During the preparation of the southern extension of the town of the Old Kingdom for future display to visitors, natural sink-holes in the granite bedrock were examined. In one of them (Pl. II), a burial dating to the 1 st Dynasty was discovered 2. In a hole of about 1,3m diameter and 2m depth, a woman approximately 25 years old was found buried in a coffin made of papyrus stems. She was buried on her left side, with her head to the south and facing towards the west. A pottery vessel and a wooden cosmetic spoon were part of her funerary equipment. Furthermore, she wore a necklace and bracelets made of bone beads. The coffin was placed on a mat. On top of the coffin of this primary burial, a second person was buried on an identical mat. This was a 25 year old male, laid in contrast to the female burial with his head to the north, on his right side, facing towards the east. A little jar, identical to the pottery vessel found next to the female burial, was found close to him. The most interesting feature of this burial was a heap of barley, on which the head of the corpse rested. This special way of providing a source of food in the afterlife does not seem to be attested elsewhere so far. It is probably due to the lure of this large amount of cereal that hundreds of rats and mice subsequently entered the hole, followed by dozens of snakes as well. None of them found their way out again but they did considerably disturb the burial arrangement. During the 2 nd Dynasty, the cover of the hole was removed and the hollow space filled up with building debris to prepare the ground for the construction of the town enclosure of the later Early Dynastic Period. D. Raue III. Temple of Khnum in the New Kingdom and the Late Period (Pl. III-IV) After an interruption of nearly two years, the Swiss Institute resumed investigations at the Khnum Temple of the New Kingdom and Late Period. The main goal of the work was the recovery of further reused blocks of the earlier temple from the southern and south-eastern foundation wall of the Ptolemaic pronaos. After the meticulous study and recording of the construction techniques of the pronaos, about 127 stone blocks were recovered (Pl. IV-V). The majority of the blocks belong to a temple of Psametik II and will contribute substantially to a future reconstruction of that temple 3. 21 undecorated and 34 decorated blocks can be attributed to the temple of the 18 th dynasty. Three blocks, however, decorated in sunk relief on one side and in raised relief on the other side, may belong to another, hitherto unknown, building of the 18 th dynasty. Measuring only 66 cm in width the blocks are of a much smaller size than all the known blocks of the Khnum Temple of the New Kingdom.

(May 2012) Veronica Marie Morriss, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann In ancient Egypt, the Nile was both a lifeline and a highway. In addition to its crucial role for agriculture and water resources, the river united an area nearly five hundred miles in length. It was an avenue for asserting imperial authority over the vast expanse of the Nile valley. 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.

  • Social Mobility and Green Open Urban Spaces with Special Reference to Cairo
    Wanas, A and Samir, E GBER Vol 10 Issue 1 Oct 2016 Article Social Mobility and Green Open Urban Spaces With Special Reference to Cairo *Ayman Wanas, Cairo, Egypt *Enas Samir, Cairo, Egypt Abstract Many rudiments and dynamics formulate the quality of life in cities; one of them is urban green space. Green urban area plays a vital role in improving the quality of life in cities, on the environmental level and social level as well. This paper examines the interrelationship between socio-economic mobility and the form, the use and the quality of green space with a particular reference to Cairo, Egypt. It also seeks to determine the critical factors in making those spaces up to user's expectations. The paper debates the notion of green urban spaces, development through time and the type of users in association with the socio- economic and political dimensions through a comprehensive literature review. It critically observes and documents the changes and the transformations in the green urban open space in Cairo, which, happens in consequent with socio-economic changes and political drifts taking Zamalek district, Cairo as a field study area. The paper reaches its results using correlation analyses, which approves the interrelationship between socio- economic mobility and physical changes and transformations in urban green spaces.

  • Passage Through Egypt
    PASSAGE THROUGH EGYPT ABOARD OBEROI PHILAE | 2018/2019 Ralph Hammelbacher knows Egypt like the back of his hand, having been responsible for our program from its inception in 1992. When I heard he planned to retire after 43 years in travel, I convinced him to remain—to curate our new Egypt program. I am delighted on both counts: he remained for the project, and has created an extraordinary program. I hope you will agree, and join us to explore Egypt. DEAR TRAVELER, I’ve had a decades-long love affair with Egypt. My first visit to Egypt was in 1978, and I was immediately captivated. I felt as if I had finally come home. I returned four years later, taking a barge from the Sudanese border across Lake Nasser to Aswan, and then a local sailboat (called a felucca) to Luxor. Over the years, I’ve been back dozens of times—sometimes for longer stays, renting a bicycle daily to explore Luxor’s west bank, and sometimes just for a few days to work with our local counterparts on Lindblad Expeditions’ programs. When I returned most recently, in December 2017, I was frankly expecting people to be downcast, given all the difficulties they’ve had. I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Instead, there’s a pervasive optimism as visitors come back to Egypt, which is also reflected in the considerable investment in hotels, ships, and other areas. I wanted that to be part of our program, and I think that if you join us you’ll be stunned by the beauty and graciousness of our Nile ship, the Oberoi Philae, and our hotels, the Nile Ritz-Carlton and the Mena House.

  • The Reliance of the Jordanian Daily Newspapers on the Jordan News Agency As the Main Source of News and Its Impact on Content Dr
    PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(2): 4776-4790 ISSN: 00333077 The reliance of the Jordanian daily newspapers on the Jordan News Agency as the main source of news and its impact on content Dr. Majid numan Al-Khudari Associate Professor, Department of Digital Media -Applied Science Private University Dr.muhamad lamel al_quraan Assistant Professor in the Department of Digital Media- Applied Science Private University Dr. Ashraf Faleh Al-Zoubi, Zarqa Private University, Faculty of Information ABSTRACT Since the emergence of news agencies in the world, these agencies have become part of the global and local media scene, and newspapers cannot dispense with the services provided by agencies, especially the major news agencies in the world, which are the French Sons Agency, the British Sons Agency, the two American news agencies, the Associated Press and the United Press, as these agencies have become It controls the flow of news across the world, and newspapers prefer to rely on them for news due to the low cost and easy access to news. In Jordan, like other countries of the world, the media relies heavily on news agencies to obtain news, as major news agencies are relied upon to obtain international and Arab news, while the Jordanian Sons Agency "Petra" is relied upon to obtain local news. The Jordanian News Agency dominates the Jordanian newspapers that publish the news issued by this agency, which is considered the official and only official agency in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This agency focuses on publishing official news, especially news issued by the royal court, the presidency of the government and other official institutions, as there is almost a monopoly on these news.
