  • Decoding the Medinet Habu Inscriptions: the Ideological Subtext of Ramesses III’S War Accounts
    Peters 1 Decoding the Medinet Habu Inscriptions: The Ideological Subtext of Ramesses III’s War Accounts Abstract: The temple of Medinet Habu in Thebes stands as Ramesses III‘s lasting legacy to Ancient Egyptian history. This monumental structure not only contained luxury goods within, but also a goldmine of information inscribed on its outside walls. Here, Ramesses adorned the temple with stories of military campaigns he led against enemies in the north who hoped to gain control of Egypt. These war accounts have posed a series of problems to modern scholars. Today, the debate still rages over how the inscriptions should be interpreted. This work analyzes Ramesses‘s records through the lens of socioeconomic decline that occurred during his rule in order to demonstrate the role ideology—namely ma‘at—played in his self-representation and his methodology to ensure and legitimize his rule during these precarious times. Scott M. Peters Senior Thesis, Department of History Columbia College, Columbia University April 2011 Advisors: Professor Marc Van De Mieroop and Professor Martha Howell Word Count: 17,070 (with footnotes + bibliography included) Peters 2 Figure 1: Map of Ancient Egypt with key sites. Image reproduced from Marc Van De Mieroop, A History of Ancient Egypt (Malden: Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), 28. Peters 3 Introduction When describing his victory over invading forces in the north of Egypt, Ramesses III, ruler at the time, wrote: …Those who came on land were overthrown and slaughtered…Amon-Re was after them destroying them. Those who entered the river mouths were like birds ensnared in the net…their leaders were carried off and slain.

  • Rutgers University the Sea People and Their Migration
    RUTGERS UNIVERSITY THE SEA PEOPLE AND THEIR MIGRATION PRESENTING AN HONORS THESIS THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE RUTGERS UNIVERSITY HISTORY DEPARTMENT. BY SHELL PECZYNSKI NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY MARCH 2009 Acknowledgments I want to thank the matriarchs of my family for believing that, as a woman, I could do anything; Professor Cargill for luring me to Rutgers University with his class syllabus of the Ancient Near East course and subsequent courses on Greece. I also need to mention Professor Tannus for planting the seed in my mind of actually doing a thesis paper. I would also like to thank Tom Andruszewski for taking the first step into the deep dark waters of thesis writing and surviving the swim, encouraging me not to drown in the process, and that it can also be done by those of us who work full time. I cannot forget Shanna and Marion; my smart life-long friends who have inspired me and helped me through the rough patches with their computer knowledge and multi-tasking skills. These women inspired me to take the leap into the dark sea of higher education. Which leads me to my mentor Dr. Figueira, whose lecturing of mythology struck me with the epiphany that I want to someday tell the stories of the ancients and inspire our youth in such a way that I can mirror his brilliance in the unrehearsed flow and clarity of the lectures and tangents we may go on. His eloquence of speech and knowledge of diverse histories is colorful and vibrant, lacking the dryness of some historical topics and generic monotone speaking of many historians.

  • Alessandra Nibbi (June 30, 1923 – January 15, 2007)
    Alessandra Nibbi (June 30, 1923 – January 15, 2007) Alessandra Nibbi left us on January 15th, leaving a great gap among Egyptologists and in the hearts of her friends. Her life is divided into two almost-equal parts. One is essentially Australian, the period of her formation as a schoolgirl and student; the other English, the epoch of scientific output, the epoch of Egyptology. Alessandra Nibbi was born at Porto-San-Giorgio, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, on June 30th, 1923, to Elvira Petrelli and Gino Nibbi. Her father, a man of multiple talents, a writer and art historian, left Italy in 1928 because of the political conditions of the time and settled in Australia at Melbourne with his wife, daughter and young son. Alessandra’s education and upbringing were thoroughly English. As well as Melbourne University, which she left at the age of twenty-three, she attended the conservatoire in the same city, as a soprano. As her first occupation, she taught English language and literature. In 1947 the Nibbi family returned to Italy; Alessandra got married there; her son Daniel was born in 1953. After a second period of a few years in Australia, the Nibbi family decided, in 1963, to leave Australia for good. The long return by ship had an unforeseen consequence: as they were passing through the Suez Canal, an excursion organised for the passengers revealed Egypt, its pyramids, civilisation and universe to Sandra. As soon as she arrived in Italy, she undertook studies in archaeology at the University of Perugia where she followed the teaching of the Etruscologist Massimo Pallotino, and at the University of Florence, where she obtained the degree of Doctor of Letters in 1965.

  • MS 439 A4278 Honor Frost Archive Catalogue
    MS 439 A4278 Honor Frost Archive catalogue Original catalogue compiled by Dr Emma Saunders for the Honor Frost Foundation, August 2016 (University of Southampton, Revised 2018) 2 Honor Frost Honor Frost (1917-2010) was a pioneer in the field of underwater archaeology and the first to promote underwater archaeology as a scientific discipline. Born in Cyprus in 1917, she became the ward of the London solicitor, Wilfred Evill, after the death of her parents. Her love of diving started in a Wimbledon garden when, as a young woman, she submerged herself in a ‘well’, as described in her book Under the Mediterranean: travels with my bottle (1963). Following school in Switzerland, where she became bi-lingual in French, she enrolled at the Central School of Art in London which was rusticated during the war to the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, later working as a designer for the Ballet Rambert and as director of publications at the Tate Gallery. In the mid-40s she designed a ballet called Khadra, which was choreographed by Celia Franca for the Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet to music by Sibelius. Her artistic calling came to a halt after she fell fully in love with diving in Marseilles in the late 1940s, training with the Club Alpin Sous-Marin in Cannes. This was the start of her deep interest in diving, and her mentor was the archaeologist Frederic Dumas. Dumas took her on her first dive at a wreck of a Roman ship at Antheor on the south coast of France. Later, she was able to develop and consolidate her archaeological skills, when she joined Kathleen Kenyon at Jericho as a draftsman for the excavations in 1957.
