  • The Amarna Period and the Temples Akhenaton and the Amarna Period Akhenaton, Colossal Statue from the Temple of Aton, Karnak, Egypt, 18Th Dynasty, Ca
    The Amarna Period and the Temples Akhenaton and the Amarna Period Akhenaton, colossal statue from the temple of Aton, Karnak, Egypt, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353–1335 BCE. Sandstone, 13’ high. Abandoning traditional Egyptian religion and introduced a monotheistic one, where the Aten or Sun God alone was worshipped. Early inscriptions liken the Aten to the sun later official language avoids calling the Aten In the end it was not accepted. No questions about the afterlife were answered in this religion, something foreign and unacceptable to the Egyptians 2 Figure 3-31 THUTMOSE, bust of Nefertiti, from Amarna, Egypt, 18th Dynasty, ca. 1353–1335 BCE.

Many theories abound about why Akhenaton is portrayed stylistically differently than any other pharaoh or queen. Marfan’s syndrome – a genetic disorder that affects the body's connective tissue. Connective tissue holds all the body's cells, organs and tissue together. It also plays an important role in helping the body grow and develop properly. Froelich’s disease - It is usually associated with tumors of the hypothalamus, causing increased appetite and depressed or delayed sexual organ development which seems to affect mostly males.

    PHARAOH PEPI I.: DOCUMENTATION OF THE OLDEST KNOWN LIFE-SIZE METAL SCULPTURE USING LASER SCANNING AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY Guido HEINZ Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz, Ernst-Ludwig-Platz 2, 55116 Mainz, Germany and i3mainz, Institute for Spatial Information and Surveying Technology, FH Mainz, University of Applied Sciences, Holzstrasse 36, 55116 Mainz, Germany [email protected] KEY WORDS: Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Close Range, Documentation, Laser scanning, Visualization, Photogrammetry ABSTRACT Two statues of Pharaoh Pepi I. are the oldest known life-size metal sculptures in the world. They are dated to about 2300 BC and were excavated in 1897. In 2001, after a several years lasting process of restoration, conservation and technological investigation, the statues were documented geometrically. The shapes of the sculptures were recorded using a 3D laser scanner. Special features like the seams between the copper sheets forming the statue and the rivets connecting them were measured using close range photogrammetry. A model was generated from the scanner data as well as a 3D vector map of the line features from the stereo images. Besides these single results, both were combined for visualization purposes such as video sequences of the rotating sculpture or a combination with reconstructed vanished parts of the statue like the loincloth and the crown. INTRODUCTION In 1897, amongst numerous other things two statues of Pharaoh Pepi I. were found in a temple of the ancient city of Hierakonpolis. They are dated to the 23rd century BC and are considered to be the oldest known life-size statues made of metal. After a first restoration around 1900 AD, the statues were in the exhibition of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

A ROYAL PORTRAIT HEAD IN THE COLLECTION OF THE MICHAEL C. CARLOS MUSEUM AT EMORY UNIVERSITY by KAREN MARGARET BRYSON Under the Direction of Dr. Melinda Hartwig ABSTRACT This thesis discusses a small, red granite, Egyptian royal portrait head in the collection of the Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. The head is determined to be a fragment from a group depicting the king in front of the monumental figure of a divine animal, probably a ram or baboon. Scholars have attributed the head to the reigns of various New Kingdom pharaohs, including Horemheb and Seti I, but on more careful examination its style demonstrates that it dates to the reign of Ramesses II (1304-1237 B.C.).

  • The Grand Museum of Egypt & the Challenge of Sustainability
    The Grand Museum of Egypt & The Challenge of Sustainability Dr. Walid A. Moneim Dr. Zeinab Shafik Dr. Yasser Mansour Introduction The approach to museum design has undergone a substantial change in the past few decades. Museums were previously established to store artifacts safely and allow interested visitors who are usually members of a high culture in the society to encounter them. Museums were buildings constructed with a philanthropist mentality whose basic objective was preservation and safe keeping of irreplaceable items. The idea that the artifacts displayed represent a country’s heritage or a nation’s pride justified even more this philanthropist approach. With the increase in the extensive variations in the typology of museums based on the artifacts displayed and with the variations in the size of museums, the goal of building a museum faced a substantial change. Museums are now established to serve different groups of visitors with variations in the level of their sophistication and intellectual background. Museums have become more democratic while addressing different user groups with different intentions and orientation. Museums also respond to the needs of special user-groups such as the handicapped, the visually impaired and the children. The discrepancy and variations in the user groups that museums serve together with the type of exhibits displayed control and direct its design and provide guidelines for its operation after construction. Thus, museums developed like any other building type directed to serve members of the community. With this orientation the concept of the museum as a philanthropist act has also developed. With the advancement in economic sciences, marketing strategies and business oriented feasibility studies, museums are thought of as institutions which can be revenue generating, self sustainable and even profit making structures.
