    Celebrating Pesach in the Land of the Pharaohs Dr

    Celebrating Pesach in the Land of the Pharaohs Dr. Jill Katz Lecturer in Archaeology and Anthropology, Yeshiva University The story of Pesach and the Land of Egypt are inextricably linked. In our recounting, Egypt is always the place we escaped from. We do not really concern ourselves with what happened to Egypt subsequent to our leaving it. Of course, King Shlomo did marry an Egyptian princess and subsequent Israelite and Judahite kings engaged diplomatically with Egyptian leaders. But overall, from the time of the Exodus (yetziat Mitzraim) to near the end of First Temple times, the people of Judah and Israel seemed to have had little interest in returning to the land of their enslavement. However, this changed towards the end of the First Temple period, probably as a result of warming relations brought on by the common threat of the Assyrian Empire. When Egyptian Pharaoh Psamtik (26th Dynasty; 664-610 BCE), needed extra troops to protect Egypt’s southern border from the Nubians, it is quite possible that the king of Judah, Menashe (687-642 BCE), responded favorably. Whatever the origins, we know from written records that by the time the Persians reached Egypt under the leadership of Cyrus’ son and successor Cambyses (525 BCE), a Jewish colony with its own temple was already flourishing in southern Egypt, at a place called Elephantine. Here, Jewish mercenaries were part of a large, Aramaic-speaking community. Within this multi-ethnic context the Jews succeeded in maintaining their distinct religious identity, bolstered by on-going relations with the Jewish communities of Jerusalem and Samaria.

    Egypt after the Pharaohs: Ethnic Identity in Graeco-Roman Egypt Instructor: Rachel Mairs [email protected] 401-863-2306 Office hours: Rhode Island Hall 202. Tues 2-3pm, Thurs 11am-12pm, or by appointment. Course Description Egypt under Greek and Roman rule (from c. 332 BC) was a diverse place, its population including Egyptians, Greeks, Jews, Romans, Nubians, Arabs, and even Indians. This course will explore the sometimes controversial subject of ethnic identity and its manifestations in the material and textual record from Graeco-Roman Egypt, through a series of case studies involving individual people and communities. Topics will include multilingualism, ethnic conflict and discrimination, legal systems, and gender, using evidence from contemporary texts on papyrus as well as recent archaeological excavations and field survey projects. Course Objectives By the end of the course, participants should understand and be able to articulate: • how Graeco-Roman Egypt functioned as a diverse multiethnic, multilingual society. • the legal and political frameworks within which this diversity was organised and negotiated. • how research in the social sciences on multilingualism and ethnic identity can be utilised to provide productive and interesting approaches to the textual and archaeological evidence from Graeco-Roman Egypt. Students will also gain a broad overview of Egypt’s history from its conquest by Alexander the Great, through its rule by the Ptolemies, to the defeat of Cleopatra and Mark Antony and its integration into the Roman Empire, to the rise of Christianity. Course Requirements Attendance and participation (10%); assignments (2 short essays of 4-5 pages) and quizzes/map exercises (50%); extended essay on individual topics to be decided in consultation with me (c.

  • The Future of Egypt's Past: Protecting Ancient Thebes

    The Future of Egypt's Past: Protecting Ancient Thebes

    The Oregon Archaeological Society and the Oregon Chapter, American Research Center in Egypt present OREGON CHAPTER THE FUTURE OF EGYPT’S PAST: PROTECTING ANCIENT THEBES By Dr Kent R Weeks, Director, The Theban Mapping Project In 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP) was an ambitious plan to record, photograph and map every temple and tomb in the Theban Necropolis (modern Luxor, Egypt) within a few years. However, it took nearly two decades before the enormous task was realized and the Atlas of the Valley of the Kings was published. Dr Weeks has guided the TMP on a sometimes surprising journey. In 1995, an effort to pinpoint where early explorers had noted an “insignificant” tomb led to the re-discovery of KV5. Recognized now as the tomb for sons of Ramesses II, it is the most important find since the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. Once primarily aimed at treasure, gold, jewels and mummies, today archaeology in the Valley of the Kings targets information, accessibility and protection. The TMP remains relevant, developing an online Egyptian Archaeological Database, a newly upgraded TMP website, and a program of local public education to encourage archaeological awareness, site conservation and site management, as well as continuing work in KV5. Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 7:30 Empirical Theater at Oregon Museum of Science & Industry 1945 SE Water Ave., Portland Free admission, free parking and open to the public. DR KENT WEEKS has directed the Theban Mapping Project since its inception in 1978. Born in Everett and having grown up in Longview, Washington, he obtained his master’s degree at U of Washington and later, a doctorate from Yale.
