On the orientation of the Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor Amelia Carolina Sparavigna (Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino) Abstract The Avenue of Sphinxes is a 2.8 kilometres long Avenue linking Luxor and Karnak temples. This avenue was the processional road of the Opet Festival from the Karnak temple to the Luxor temple and the Nile. For this Avenue, some astronomical orientations had been proposed. After the examination of them, we consider also an orientation according to a geometrical planning of the site, where the Avenue is the diagonal of a square, a sort of best-fit straight line in a landscape constrained by the presence of temples, precincts and other processional avenues. The direction of the rising of Vega was probably used as reference direction for the surveying.

  • Jean Francois Champollion the Father of Egyptology by John Warren Anyone Who Has Studied Ancient Egypt Will Be Familiar with Jean Francois Champollion
    Jean Francois Champollion The Father of Egyptology by John Warren Anyone who has studied ancient Egypt will be familiar with Jean Francois Champollion. He was, after all, credited with deciphering hieroglyphics from the Rosetta Stone and thus giving scholars the key to understanding hieroglyphics. For this effort along, he is frequently referred to as the Father of Egyptology, for he provided the foundation that scholars would need in order to truly understand the ancient Egyptians. Even though he suffered a stroke, dying at the age of forty-one, he himself added to our knowledge of this grand, ancient civilization by translating any number of Egyptian texts prior to his death. Champollion was born on December 23rd, 1790 in the town of Figeac, France to Jacques Champollion and Jeanne Francoise. He was their youngest son, and was educated originally by his elder brother, Jacques Joseph (1778-1867). While still at home, he attempted to teach himself a number of languages, including Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, Chaldean and Chinese. In 1801, at the age of ten, he was sent off to study at the Lyceum in Grenoble. There, at the young age of sixteen, he red a paper before the Grenoble Academy proposing that the language of the Coptic Christians in contemporary Egypt was actually the same language spoken PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com language to be at least an evolutionary form of the language spoken in the pharaonic period, spiked with the tongues of its foreign invaders such as the Greeks. His studies continued at the College de France between 1807 and 1809, where he specialized in Oriental languages.

  • Newsletter Egypt and Sudan
    Newsletter Egypt and Sudan Issue 5, 2018 Introduction Neal Spencer Keeper, Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan In 1972, fifty years after the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered, fifty objects from the king’s burial were displayed at the British Museum in a special exhibition, attracting 1.7 million visitors over nine months. Such visitor numbers remain unheard of today, though a new record has just been set for a touring British Museum exhibition. The Hong Kong Science Museum welcomed over 850,000 visitors to Egyptian mummies: exploring ancient lives last summer. Such exhibitions take years of planning, and the last weeks have seen us send the latest group of Egyptian mummies to a London hospital for dual-energy CT-scanning. While the scanning will reveal new insights into the ancient individuals, some will undoubtedly become the stars of future exhibitions, whether in Bloomsbury or beyond. Back at the British Museum, the Roxie Walker Galleries of Egyptian Funerary Archaeology (Rooms 62–63) were updated with new displays to reflect the fast-changing world of bioarchaeological research, while nearby a rare queen’s diadem was put on display, a three-year loan from the al-Sabah collection. Other contributions in this newsletter highlight collections research and conservation, fieldwork and training programmes. As 2017 drew to a close, the British Museum was awarded two major grants. The Cultural Protection Fund will support a project entitled Circulating Artefacts: a cross-platform alliance against the looting of pharaonic antiquities, working with colleagues in Egypt and Sudan to track objects circulating on the art market and in private collections – this will also be a fantastic research resource.

  • Queen Nefertari's Tomb
    This exhibition celebrates the role of women—goddesses, queens, and artisans—in Egypt’s New Kingdom period (c. 1539–1075 BCE), when Egyptian civilization was at its height. These women, including great royal wives, sisters, daughters, and mothers of pharaohs, are brought to life through refined statues, exquisite jewelry and personal objects, votive steles, stone sarcophagi, and painted coffins, as well as items of daily life from the artisan village of Deir el-Medina, home to the craftsmen who built the royal tombs. Drawn from the Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy, one of the most important and extensive collections of ancient Egyptian works in the world, these treasures showcase the legacy of these amazing women—whose status often verged on divine—and also trace the journey of discovery made by the Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli on the banks of the ancient Nile. Nefertari, whose name means “beautiful companion,” was one of the most celebrated queens of ancient Egypt and the favorite wife of pharaoh Ramesses II (reigned 1279 –1213 BCE). Until the early 1900s, Nefertari was known only through a few sculptures, tomb paintings, and hieroglyphs related to Ramesses II. In 1904, Schiaparelli, then director of the Museo Egizio, discovered her tomb—the most richly decorated in the Valley of the Queens—establishing Nefertari’s revered status. Although the contents had been looted in ancient times, the brilliant murals decorating the tomb depict the perilous journey Nefertari had to make on her path to immortality. Schiaparelli made other significant discoveries in the village of Deir el-Medina that reveal what daily life would have been like for the artisans who constructed Nefertari’s magnificent tomb.
