  • 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].

  • Hellenistic and Pharaonic Influences on the Formation of Coptic Identity
    Scriptura 85 (2004), pp. 292-301 HELLENISTIC AND PHARAONIC INFLUENCES ON THE FORMATION OF COPTIC IDENTITY Annette Evans Department of Ancient Studies Stellenbosch University Abstract Conflicting descriptions of Coptic identity still exist today. The Copts regard themselves as those descendents of Pharaonic Egyptians who have retained their identity because of their Christian faith, in spite of Egypt having become a predominantly Islamic, Arab country. They claim to have “caught a glimpse of the Light of Christianity” before the birth of Christ. This article offers iconographical evidence to supplement an explanation of how the ancient Egyptian mythopoeic thinking, in combination with the syncretistic cultural environment of Hellenism, mediated this phenomenon. Today the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt represents “a return to the apostolic father type leading of the church”. Although pharaonic and gnostic influences appear to have contributed to their remarkable eusebeia, the Copts perceive themselves as having abided by the decisions of the first three Church Councils and have respected and upheld the canon. 1. Introduction The word Copt originated from the ancient Egyptian word for Memphis, Hah-ka-Ptah – the house or temple of the spirit of Ptah. With the suppression of the prefix and the suffix the stem kaPt or gypt remained, which was then corrupted to the Arabic Qibt (Atiya 1968:16). The Hellenes used Aiguptos for both Egypt and the Nile, and Aiguptoi was used by Origen to distinguish Egyptian Christians from Hellenes (Van der Vliet and Zonhoven 1998:117). The Copts have a unique identity: inseparable from their pharaonic past, yet intimately associated with the beginning of Christianity.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

  • Glossary Ancient Egyptian Art and Culture
    Ancient Egyptian Art and Culture Glossary Africa Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 12 million square miles it covers 20% of the Earth's total land area. Egypt is located on the Northeast corner of the African continent. Amphora A large pottery or stone vessel, usually with one or more handles and used as storage or transport container for liquids or solids. Amulet A small token, such as a hieroglyphic symbol or figurine of a god, believed to provide magical protection or other benefits to its wearer. Ankh The ankh is a hieroglyphic symbol meaning “life” and “to live.” lt was worn by many ancient Egyptians as an amulet, and is frequently depicted in art being extended by the gods. Apis Bull The Apis bull was a sacred oracle housed in the temple of Ptah at Memphis. The bulls were well treated throughout their lifetimes, given divine status as the embodiment of the god Ptah, and were mummified upon death. The Apis bulls, and later the mothers of the Apis bulls (sacred to Isis) were buried at Saqqara. Artistic perspective Egyptians used variations in size to indicate importance in their art. Viewpoints also changed within images to show the strongest characteristics of objects and people. Faces were always shown in profile, eyes were large, and legs were often shown in exaggerated poses. Artifact An artifact is something that was made by a person in the distant past. Clothing, pottery, furniture, tools, and art are all artifacts. Atef The atef is a crown with an ostrich plume on each side and horizontal ram’s horns underneath.

  • Pennsylvania History
    PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY VOLUME IX APRIL, 1942 NUMBER 2 PENNSYLVANIA'S LAND GRANT UNDER THE MORRILL ACT OF 1862 By ASA E. MARTIN Pennsylvania State College, State College, Pennsylvania FROM the beginning of English colonization in America the granting of land for educational purposes was common. As early as 1619, just twelve years after the founding of Jamestown, the Virginia Company in England set aside ten thousand acres for the establishment of a university in the infant colony of Virginia, and two years later an additional thousand acres was appropriated for the partial support of a preparatory school at Charles City. Subsequently the governments of various of the other colonies made similar grants. That this procedure should be followed was entirely natural, for land was the main source of wealth throughout the colonial period and long afterward. During the latter years of the American Revolution and the period of readjustment immediately following, one after another of the original states transferred to the federal government such titles as it possessed to unsettled land west of the Allegheny mountains. Eventually, as the boundaries of the nation were extended west- ward, the so-called public domain came to embrace approximately three-fourths of the present area of the country. The government utilized this rich heritage not only to provide funds for its main- tenance and for payments to war veterans but also to make ex- tensive grants to individual states and private establishments for the promotion of internal improvements and public education. 85 86 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY The possibility of using public lands for the advancement of education was a topic of constant discussion in Congress under the Articles government.

[Copiei] from a record of the Hiester family by Mr. H. M. M. Richards, of Beading, THE origin of the Hiester Family was the Silesian knight, Premiscloros Hiisterniz, who flourished about 1329, and held the office of Mayor, or Town Captain of the city of Swineford. "A. D. 1480, the Patrician and Counsellor of Swineford, Adol- phus Louis, called 'der Hiester,' obtained from the Emperor Frederick, letters patent whereby he and his posterity were au- thorized to use the coat-of-arms he had inherited from his ances- tors, to whom it was formerly granted, with the faculty of trans- mitting the same as an hereditary right and privilege to all his descendants. "The Hiester family was afterward diffused through Austria, Saxony, Switzerland and other countries bordering on the river Rhine. Several of the members were distinguished statesmen and ministers of religion and among the Senators of Homburg, B-emen and Ratisbon, where many of the same name were found who afterward held the highest and most important offices in said cities.
