  • Ancient Egyptian Royal Circumcision from the Pyramid Complex of Djedkare
    Ancient Egyptian Royal Circumcision from the Pyramid Complex of Djedkare • XLIX/2 • pp. 155–164 • 2011 mohAmED mEGAhED, hAnA VYmAZALoVÁ ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ROYAL CIRCUMCISION FROM THE PYRAMID COMPLEX OF DJEDKARE ABSTRACT: Male circumcision in ancient Egypt is well documented in representative scenes in tombs, as well as in physical remains of Egyptian people from various periods. Scenes showing the operation of circumcision are however very rare and only a few examples have been preserved from the millennia of Egyptian history. This paper presents another example of such a scene, which was found on a relief fragment discovered in the pyramid complex of the Fifth Dynasty king Djedkare. At the moment, it is the oldest preserved depiction of this operation known so far, and it probably played a ritual function within the king's pyramid complex decoration program. KEY WORDS: Ancient Egypt – Djedkare – Relief – Circumcision INTRODUCTION numerous fragments of reliefs have been found in the late Fifth Dynasty pyramid complex of Djedkare in As well as the other old Kingdom pyramid complexes, South Saqqara (Figure 1) by the Egyptian archaeological Djedkare's pyramid complex was badly damaged over missions between the 1940s and 1980s, when limited and time, and as a result of the reuse of its building materials unsystematic excavations were carried out in the funerary throughout succeeding generations. modern excavation temple under the direction of Abdel Salam mohamed of the monuments have however begun to reveal the hussain, Ahmed Fakhry, and mahmoud Abdel Razek. architectural plan of the sites and have brought to light Results of this work were never fully published and the fragments of decoration programs of the individual fragments of relief decoration have not been available complexes; these provide us with partial information about for the scientific public (see Fakhry 1959: 10, 30, Leclant the kings and their reigns.

Spanning two publication seasons, it features all titles published or forthcoming in 2019 and early 2020, not least The American Uni- versity in Cairo: 100 Years, 100 Stories by Andrew Humphreys (page 4).

Suitably, this catalog also presents James Steele’s survey of the works and architectural philosophy of the principal architect of the Community Design Collaborative, the firm which led the design and construction of AUC’s New Cairo campus, Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdel- halim: An Architecture of Collective Memory (page 3). Meanwhile Aidan Dodson builds on the success of Sethy I: King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 16) to bring us the next title in the AUC Press book series on key figures in ancient Egyptian history,Rameses III, King of Egypt, His Life and Afterlife (page 17). This year’s offerings of ancient Egypt titles also include Reg Clark’s Securing Eternity: Ancient Egyptian Tomb Security from Prehistory to the Pyramids (page 19), a study of the evolution of this aspect of tomb architecture over more than two millennia; and a wide-ranging collected volume on non- royal elite autobiographical texts and inscriptions, Living Forever: Self-Presentation in Ancient Egypt (page 19), edited by Hussein Bassir.

  • The Future of Egypt's Past: Protecting Ancient Thebes
    The Oregon Archaeological Society and the Oregon Chapter, American Research Center in Egypt present OREGON CHAPTER THE FUTURE OF EGYPT’S PAST: PROTECTING ANCIENT THEBES By Dr Kent R Weeks, Director, The Theban Mapping Project In 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP) was an ambitious plan to record, photograph and map every temple and tomb in the Theban Necropolis (modern Luxor, Egypt) within a few years. However, it took nearly two decades before the enormous task was realized and the Atlas of the Valley of the Kings was published. Dr Weeks has guided the TMP on a sometimes surprising journey. In 1995, an effort to pinpoint where early explorers had noted an “insignificant” tomb led to the re-discovery of KV5. Recognized now as the tomb for sons of Ramesses II, it is the most important find since the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb. Once primarily aimed at treasure, gold, jewels and mummies, today archaeology in the Valley of the Kings targets information, accessibility and protection. The TMP remains relevant, developing an online Egyptian Archaeological Database, a newly upgraded TMP website, and a program of local public education to encourage archaeological awareness, site conservation and site management, as well as continuing work in KV5. Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 7:30 Empirical Theater at Oregon Museum of Science & Industry 1945 SE Water Ave., Portland Free admission, free parking and open to the public. DR KENT WEEKS has directed the Theban Mapping Project since its inception in 1978. Born in Everett and having grown up in Longview, Washington, he obtained his master’s degree at U of Washington and later, a doctorate from Yale.

Earlier the wall was photographed in fine detail, but since a camera cannot discriminate between the effects of weathering and the signs carved by an ancient craftsman, an artist working di- rectly on an enlargement of the photograph made a drawing that allows the carvings to be distin- guished from accidental marks. When the drawing was completed, the photograph was bleached out, leaving a facsimile of what survives of the original craftsman's work.
