Red-billed Helmetshrike ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tour Summary Ghana is often described as the jewel of West Africa. This is not far from the truth. The diverse natural habitats combined with a tourist-friendly atmosphere and well-maintained road network make Ghana a real birder’s paradise. A visit to the World Heritage Site of Cape Coast Castle and understanding its controversial history was a powerful experience. The rainforest areas near Kakum National Park and vast savannas of Mole National Park were certainly highlights of this extraordinary tour. We tallied over 400 species of birds and over 20 mammals. These included highly sought- after gems like White-necked Rockfowl, Egyptian Plover, Blue-moustached Bee-eater, Akun Eagle-Owl, Stone Partridge, White- spotted Flufftail, Yellow-billed Turaco, Red- billed Dwarf Hornbill and many, many more. _____________________________________ The Tour in Detail Our first bird in Ghana was a fabulously performing Yellow-crowned Gonolek seen from the breakfast table – not a bad start! We spent the morning in Shai hills, which is Violet Turaco by Tuomas Seimola located north-east of the capital, Accra. -
Three Conquests of Canaan
ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case. -
Rib-Hadda, Le Roi De Byblos Qui Ne Ment Pas
RIB-HADDA, LE ROI DE BYBLOS QUI NE MENT PAS PAR J. ELAYI Chercheur honoraire, UMR 7192, CNRS, Paris « Avec ma bouche, je dis au Roi des paroles qui ne sont que la vérité (pu-iaa-wa-teMEŠ aq-bua-našar-ri ki-ta-ma) », écrit Rib-Hadda, roi de Byblos, au pharaon1. Sur les 382 textes du Bronze récent qui subsistent du corpus d’El-Amarna (Akhetaton) en Égypte, près de 70 lettres ont été envoyées par le roi de Byblos pendant une douzaine d’années, autour de 1350 avant notre ère2. Ses premières lettres sont adressées au pharaon Amenhotep III, puis au pharaon Amenhotep IV / Akhenaton (1353-1336)3, ou à des fonctionnaires égyptiens4. Sa correspondance se divise en gros en trois parties : la première est contemporaine de ‘Abdi-Aširta d’Amurru (EA 68-95), la deuxième correspond à la première partie du règne d’Aziru d’Amurru (EA 101-134 et 362) et la troisième date de l’exil de Rib-Hadda 1 EA 107, 10-11.
