Arakaki Dr. Barbara Cloud, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Communication University of Nevada, Las Vegas Press coverage of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, through articles published in the LondonTimes andNew York Times from November 30, 1922 to January 31, 1923, will be analyzed. A contract between the excavators and the LondonTimes provided the newspaper with exclusive reports and information, while theNew York Times and others initially relied mainly on eye-witness accounts and second hand gossip. This study compares and contrasts different accounts of the same discovery in terms of the themes, tone, and language o f relevant articles in the two newspapers. Additionally, the study includes a survey of the relationship between science and journalism during the years prior to the discovery, and offers insights that are applicable to this relationship in the 1990s as well as the 1920s. m Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Again and again He turned away from it, took it up for a few days or hours, then laid it aside. He even attempted to destroy its value, to nullify the result. Again and again the unsleeping might of the Watchers drove Him back to the work; and it was at the very moment when He thought Himself to have escaped that He found Himself fixed for ever with no possibility of again turning aside for the fraction of a second from the path.

  • Howard Carter
    Howard Carter Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who became famous when he uncovered an intact Egyptian tomb more than 3,000 years after it had been sealed. Early Life Howard was born on 9th May 1874 in Kensington, London. Howard’s father was an artist and taught him how to draw and paint the world around him accurately. These skills would prove to be essential in Howard’s later years. As a young child, Howard spent a lot of time with his relatives in Norfolk. It was here that his interest in Egyptology began, inspired by the nearby Didlington Hall. This manor house was home to a large collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts and it is believed that this is where Howard first decided that he wanted to become an archaeologist. When he was 17, Howard started work as an archaeological artist, creating drawings and diagrams of important Egyptian finds. Excavating in the Valley of the Kings After becoming an archaeologist and working on several dig sites, Howard Carter was approached by a wealthy man named Lord Carnarvon. Lord Carnarvon had a particular interest in an Egyptian location called the Valley of the Kings – the burial place of many Egyptian pharaohs. After hearing rumours of hidden treasures in the valley, Lord Carnarvon offered to fund an excavation which was to be led by Howard Carter. After working in harsh conditions for several years, Howard and his team had found very little. Frustrated with the lack of discovery, Lord Carnarvon told Howard that if nothing was found within the year, he would stop funding the excavation.

    History and Narrative in a Changing Society: James Henry Breasted and the Writing of Ancient Egyptian History in Early Twentieth Century America by Lindsay J. Ambridge A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Janet E. Richards, Chair Professor Carla M. Sinopoli Associate Professor Terry G. Wilfong Emily Teeter, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago © Lindsay J. Ambridge All rights reserved 2010 Acknowledgments The first person I would like to thank is my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Janet Richards, who has been my primary source of guidance from my first days at the University of Michigan. She has been relentlessly supportive not only of my intellectual interests, but also in securing fieldwork opportunities and funding throughout my graduate career. For the experiences I had over the course of four expeditions in Egypt, I am deeply grateful to her. Most importantly, she is always kind and unfailingly gracious. Terry Wilfong has been a consistent source of support, advice, and encyclopedic knowledge. His feedback, from my first year of graduate school to my last, has been invaluable. He is generous in giving advice, particularly on matters of language, style, and source material. It is not an overstatement to say that the completion of this dissertation was made possible by Janet and Terry’s combined resourcefulness and unflagging support. It is to Janet and Terry also that I owe the many opportunities I have had to teach at U of M. Working with them was always a pleasure.

    Veldmeijer Tutankhamun’s Footwear Tutankhamun’s Footwear Studies of Ancient Egyptian Footwear The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is Studies of Ancient Egyptian Footwear one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time. It took Carter and his team 10 years to clear the contents of the tomb and among the objects found was a large collection of shoes and sandals. The Tutankhamun’s Footwear footwear is analysed here in detail for the first time since the discovery using Carter’s records and Harry Burton’s excellent photographs along with the author’s analyses of the objects, all of which are housed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo and the Luxor Museum. Several specialists contributed to the volume discussing the different materials (gold, vegetable fibre, birch bark, glass and faience, leather, gemstones) that were used in the footwear. Tutankhamun’s footwear is compared with other finds in order to be able to put it in a broader context. The footwear from the tomb of Yuya and Tjuiu, the King’s great-grandparents, are, therefore, analysed as well. In addition to the analysis, footwear in texts and two- and three-dimensional art is considered. André J. Veldmeijer (assistant director for Egyptology at the Netherlands Flemish Institute Cairo) studied archaeology at Leiden University (The Netherlands) and received his PhD from Utrecht University (The Netherlands). He has worked in Egypt since 1995 as a leather, footwear and cordage specialist for various missons (including Amarna, Berenike, Dra’ Abu el-Naga, Elephantine, Hierakonpolis and Qasr Ibrim) and has also worked in several collections all over the world.

  • CYBERSCRIBE-193 September 2011 Copy
    CYBERSCRIBE-193 Menhedj, Volume Two, Number 3 (September 2011) The CyberScribe would like to begin this column with a look backwards to a very important man to all of us who love ancient Egypt. I refer, of course, to Zahi Hawass. Admired, loved, hated, reviled, accused of terrible things…he is all of these things. But, he took the office as head of the Supreme Council on Antiquities (SCA) from a seldom seen, a somewhat ineffectual, and largely politically helpless agency to a dynamic power that protected and developed Egypt for us lucky visitors. Many people believed him to be a power and glory hungry person, and that may have been true in part, but modern day Egypt is far the better for his term in office. He has funneled huge sums into upgrading the sites, opening new areas and new museums, and has succeeded in generating a great deal of foreign currency for an impoverished Egypt. He is gone from the scene for now, perhaps forever as a power, but we must salute him…and offer a vote of thanks for a job that was for the most part, very well done! The Internet is filled with vicious attack websites, and laughter from those who enjoyed his fall, but that is probably the wrong tack. Yes, he has been accused of a number of criminal activities, but none of the accusations has resulted in conviction or censure. Thank you, Zahi Hawass! A site called ‘The National’ (http://tiny.cc/kuhn4) presented a nice overview, and it is presented below (with some abbreviation): ‘It is finally over for Zahi Hawass, Egypt's famous, flamboyant and controversial archaeologist.

  • Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi
    Laval University From the SelectedWorks of Fathi Habashi July, 2019 Pharaohs in Egypt Fathi Habashi Available at: https://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/416/ Pharaohs of Egypt Introduction Pharaohs were the mighty political and religious leaders who reigned over ancient Egypt for more than 3,000 years. Also known as the god-kings of ancient Egypt, made the laws, and owned all the land. Warfare was an important part of their rule. In accordance to their status as gods on earth, the Pharaohs built monuments and temples in honor of themselves and the gods of the land. Egypt was conquered by the Kingdom of Kush in 656 BC, whose rulers adopted the pharaonic titles. Following the Kushite conquest, Egypt would first see another period of independent native rule before being conquered by the Persian Empire, whose rulers also adopted the title of Pharaoh. Persian rule over Egypt came to an end through the conquests of Alexander the Great in 332 BC, after which it was ruled by the Hellenic Pharaohs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. They also built temples such as the one at Edfu and Dendara. Their rule, and the independence of Egypt, came to an end when Egypt became a province of Rome in 30 BC. The Pharaohs who ruled Egypt are large in number - - here is a selection. Narmer King Narmer is believed to be the same person as Menes around 3100 BC. He unified Upper and Lower Egypt and combined the crown of Lower Egypt with that of Upper Egypt. Narmer or Mena with the crown of Lower Egypt The crown of Lower Egypt Narmer combined crown of Upper and Lower Egypt Djeser Djeser of the third dynasty around 2670 BC commissioned the first Step Pyramid in Saqqara created by chief architect and scribe Imhotep.

  • Howard Carter and the Tomb of Tutankhamun
    History International presents Howard Carter and The Tomb of Tutankhamun Classroom Premiere: April 11 at 6am ET/PT Classroom Encore: July 11 at 6am ET/PT EGYPT - 1922: Archaeologist Howard Carter removing oils from the coffin of Tutankhamun (lived around 1350 BC), ancient Egyptian pharoah, which he discovered in 1922. (Photo by Mansell/Mansell/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images) n November 26, 1922, Howard Carter first peered into the treasure-filled tomb of OEgypt’s famous King Tutankhamun. What he found in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings would make headlines around the globe. In this nearly untouched tomb, Carter uncovered room upon room of stunning Egyptian artifacts – and meticulously recorded each object with the help of his fastidious team of excavators. HistoryInternational.com The Idea Book for Educators 5 This nearly intact tomb was a remarkable discovery; it had been nearly unscathed for over 3,000 years. Carter’s contribution to the world of archaeology is profound – the riches of Tutankhamun’s tomb are virtually priceless, offering tremendous insights into ancient Egyptian society and culture. Howard Carter and the Tomb of Tutankhamun narrates Carter’s tumultuous path to this archaeological breakthrough, from his boyhood in England and his penchant for drawing to his bitter conflicts with Egyptian officials and his friendship with the eccentric Lord Carnarvon. This short documentary would be a great addition to a lesson on Egyptian history and archaeology. Curriculum links Howard Carter and the Tomb of Tutankhamun fulfills several standards as outlined by the National Council for History Education including: (1) Patterns of Social and Political Interaction; and (2) Civilization, Cultural Diffusion, and Innovation.

  • King Tut and the Dead Earl
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 07/02/12, SPi 1 King Tut and the Dead Earl Opening the tomb he idea of the mummy curse always conjures up the story of the open- T ing of the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun in the winter of 1922–3 by the archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron, George Herbert, the Fift h Earl of Carnarvon. Carter and Carnarvon had worked as a team of excavators in Egypt since 1907, discovering a number of minor tombs in the necropolis of Th ebes and publishing a well-regarded scholarly study of their eff orts, Five Years’ Explora- tions at Th ebes , in 1911. In 1914, they fi nally acquired their long-desired conces- sion, a legal permit to excavate, issued by the Egyptian Antiquities Service, in the Valley of the Kings. Th ey stepped into the concession of the remorseless tomb-hunter Th eodore Davis, a retired American lawyer who quitt ed the area loudly declaring that the Valley of the Kings was an exhausted site with no new tombs left to discover. Davis had a cavalier reputation, however, and Carter was convinced that the tomb of Tutankhamun had not yet been found, despite some tantalizing discoveries bearing the boy-king’s royal name. War service then interrupted their planned excavations, Carter returning to the site in 1917. By early 1922, Carter counted six seasons of systematic searching in vain for signs of the tomb. Th eir fellaheen – teams of native Egyptian labourers – had moved an estimated 200,000 tons of rubble to no eff ect.

Abstract Victorian Egyptology and the Making of a Colonial Field Science, 1850-1906 Meira Gold This dissertation provides a new account of the origins of archaeological fieldwork in the Nile Delta. It considers how practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds circulated knowledge about the built environment of pharaonic ruins: monuments, architecture, burials, and soil mounds that remained in situ. I trace the development of Egyptology from an activity that could be practiced long-distance through a network of informants to one that required first-hand field experience.
