The first edition was launched in 2000 by two postgraduate students of the University of Oxford—Dr. Angela McDonald and Dr. Christina Riggs. Following the success of the conference, it has become an annual event hosted by different universities within the UK and was opened to students from abroad in 2003. In 2010, it was held for the first time outside the UK, in the Netherlands (University of Leiden), and since then, any university is encouraged to submit a bid to host the conference. The bids are submitted to the vote of the attendees during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of CRE every year. The conference is then organised by the elected Committee and assisted by the Permanent Committee (members elected at the AGM for three years). In the past fifteen years the event has considerably expanded and gained international recognition. Its growth and success were reflected by CRE XV 2014 in London, with sixty-eight speakers from nineteen different countries amongst the one hundred and fifty participants. Moreover, various recognised institutions are supporting the event, such as the Egypt Exploration Society, the Institute of Classical Studies and the London Centre for Ancient Near East. Through the hard work and enthusiasm of its successive committee, there is no doubt that the conference will keep running annually and travel successfully in the upcoming years to promote the current research in Egyptology. http://cregyptology.org.uk https://www.facebook.com/CREgyptology https://twitter.com/CREgyptology Published in April 2015.

CRE XVI Organising Committee Christelle Alvarez & Solène Klein (Co-Chairs), Ann-Katrin Gill, Marwan Kilani Egypt Exploration Society Institute of Classical Studies http://www.ees.ac.uk http://icls.sas.ac.uk The Griffith Egyptological Fund The Griffith Institute – Faculty of Oriental Studies http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk London Centre for the Ancient Near East http://banealcane.org/lcane/ 9 Egyptology in Oxford Egyptology is taught at all levels, from undergraduate through masters to doctoral levels in the department of Egyptology and Near Eastern Studies of the Faculty of Oriental Studies, and there is a strong tradition of post-doctoral research on all aspects of Egyptian culture. Students are attached to colleges but almost all teaching is done centrally in the Griffith Institute. Teaching and research are supported by the Sackler Library, an unrivalled resource for Egyptian and Ancient Near Eastern literature, languages, history and archaeology that also houses primary collections of books on Assyriology, Ancient History, Classics, Art History, and Eastern Art. However, in Oxford, Egyptology manifests itself all across the city, in the form of various buildings and institutions, often related to famous figures in the field. Francis Llewellyn Griffith and the Griffith Institute. Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862– 1934) was the first professor of Egyptology at Oxford and founded the eponymous Griffith Institute that has been the home of Egyptology and Ancient Near East Studies at the University for over 75 years. As well as being a teaching space, it provides world-famous resources for the study of the history and culture of Ancient Egypt and the Near East, which can be accessed online. Among current projects, two are particularly noteworthy: the Digital Topographical Bibliography of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic texts, reliefs, and paintings (‘Porter & Moss’), which has been running for more than a century; and the Online Egyptological Bibliography (OEB) which makes more than 75,000 references dating from 1822 to 2015 available online as a subscription service. The Institute has also published numerous important books in Egyptology, including Gardiner’s Grammar. The Institute also contains an archive that houses the papers of some of Egyptology’s greatest scholars, including Francis Llewellyn Griffith, Sir Alan Gardiner, and Jaroslav Černý; it is perhaps best known for Howard Carter’s archive and the records of his excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Elias Ashmole and the Ashmolean Museum's Egyptian collection. Although Elias Ashmole was not an Egyptologist, his name is associated with the Ashmolean museum, founded in 1683, which holds an outstanding collection of Egyptian artefacts. The Ashmolean—Britain’s first public museum—presented initially a collection of miscellaneous specimens and curiosity from all around the world. In the 19th century, its collections were merged with those of the University, to become what is today the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, and houses objects from Eastern and Western civilisations, from the Neolithic age to the present day, including an important collection of Egyptian and Nubian antiquities. As for its Egyptian collections, although the first objects arrived in the museum early in 1683, the majority come from British excavations conducted in Egypt from the 1880s to 10 the late 1930s. Bodies such as the Egypt Exploration Fund and the British School of Archaeology in Egypt (directed by W. M. F. Petrie, the founder of Egyptian field-archaeology) received financial support from the University for their excavations. In the early 20th century, the University of Oxford sent expeditions to Lower Nubia, directed and largely funded by Francis Llewellyn Griffith. These excavations brought some material to the expanding collections of the museum. Sir Alan Gardiner, the greatest twentieth-century

  • Akhenaten and Moses
    Story 27 A k h e n a t e n . and MOSES !? Aten is a creator of the universe in ancient Egyptian mythology, usually regarded as a sun god represented by the sun's disk. His worship (Atenism) was instituted as the basis for the mostly monotheistic — in fact, monistic — religion of Amenhotep IV, who took the name Akhenaten. The worship of Aten ceased shortly after Akhenaten's death; while Nefertiti was knifed to death by the Amun priesthood! Fig. 1. Pharaoh Akhenaten, his beloved Queen Nefer- titi, and family adoring the Aten, their Sun God; second from the left is Tutankhamen who was the son of Akhenaten. The relief dated 1350BC of the sun disk of Aten is a lime stone slab, with traces of the draufts- man’s grid still on it, found in the Royal Tomb of Amarna, the ill-fated capital of the founder of mono- theism long before Moses claimed it for Judaism. Aten was the focus of Akhenaten's religion, but viewing Aten as Akhena- ten's god is a simplification. Aten is the name given to represent the solar disc. The term Aten was used to designate a disc, and since the sun was a disc, it gradually became associated with solar deities. Aten expresses indirectly the life-giving force of light. The full title of Akhenaten's god was The Rahorus who rejoices in the horizon, in his/her Name of the Light which is seen in the sun disc. (This is the title of the god as it appears on the numerous stelae which were placed to mark the boundaries of Akhenaten's new capital at Amarna, or "Akhetaten.").

  • The Religious Reforms of Akhenaten and the Cult of the Aten
    The Pharaoh’s Sun-Disc : The Religious Reforms of Akhenaten and the Cult of the Aten The 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Akhenaten, known to many as the “Heretic King,” made significant changes to the religious institutions of Ancient Egypt during his reign in the 14th century BCE. The traditional view long maintained that these reforms, focused on the promotion of a single solar god known as the Aten, constituted an early form of monotheism foreshadowing the rise of Western Biblical tradition. However, this simplification ignores the earlier henotheistic tendency of Egyptian polytheism and the role of Atenism in strengthening the Pharaoh’s authority in the face of the powerful Amun-Ra priesthood, as well as distinctions between the monotheism of Moses and Akhenaten’s cult. Instead, the religion of Akhenaten, which developed from earlier ideas surrounding the solar deity motif, can be seen as an instance of monotheistic practice in form but not in function, characterized by a lack of conviction outside the new capital of Akhetaten as well as an ultimate goal of establishing not one god but one ruling power in Egypt: the Pharaoh. This will become clear through an analysis of the background to Akhenaten’s reign, the nature of his reforms and possible motivations, and the reality of Atenism vis-à-vis later Biblical monotheism. The “revolution” of Akhenaten, born Amunhotep IV,1 evidently had significant implications both during and after his reign. The radical nature of his reforms is clearly visible in the later elimination of his name and those of his immediate successors from the official list of rulers.2 However, it is possible to see the roots of these changes, and perhaps of the Pharaoh’s motivations, in earlier developments in the importance and form 1 Greek Amunhopis IV.

  • THE CEREMONIAL CANOPIED CHARIOT of TUTANKHAMUN (JE61990 and JE60705): a TENTATIVE VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION*
    1 THE CEREMONIAL CANOPIED CHARIOT OF TUTANKHAMUN (JE61990 and JE60705): A TENTATIVE VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION* BY NOZOMU KAWAI, YASUSHI OKADA, TAKESHI OISHI, MASATAKA KAGESAWA, AKIKO NISHISAKA, AND HUSSEIN KAMAL† The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Arab Republic of Egypt, have been conducting the Grand Egyptian Museum Joint Conservation Project (GEM-JC) since November 2016, after having completed two phases of cooperation to improve conservation techniques at the Grand Egyptian Museum Conservation Center (GEM-CC). The GEM- CC conservation specialists will have their skills enhanced through this experience and GEM-CC's capacity and efficiency as an important conservation centre will also be improved. It is expected that GEM-CC staff will ultimately complete all conservation activities and treatments. Among the 72 target objects for the GEM-JC Project, designated to be transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square to the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza and jointly conserved by Egyptian and Japanese conservators, five chariots were selected. In particular, the ‘second state chariot’ (GEM 4940; JE61990; Carter no. 122; A1 of Littauer and Crouwel1) (fig.1) was chosen as the lead object, with Japanese and Egyptian experts working jointly on all aspects of the treatment, including remedial conservation, as a model for the conservation of the other chariots. In the course of the project, we confirmed that this particular chariot originally had a canopy (GEM 4539; JE60705; Carter no. 123) (fig. 2) attached to the chariot body, as first proposed by Edwin Brock in 2012.2 However, it is impossible to join these two artifacts together because of their fragile condition, and it has been decided to display them separately.

    Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS IMPACTS OF LONG -T ERM CROSS -C ULTURAL MIGRATION BETWEEN EGYPT AND THE LEVANT Thomas Staubli university of fribourg, switzerland ABSTRACT An increase of cross-cultural learning as a consequence of increased travel and migration between Egypt and the Levant during the Iron Age occurred after millennia of migration in earlier times. The result was an Egyptian-Levantine koine, often not recognized as relevant by historians due to an uncritical reproduction of ancient myths of separation. However, the cultural exchange triggered by migration is attested in the language, in the iconography of the region, in the history of the alphabet, in literary motifs, in the characterization of central characters of the Hebrew Bible and, last but not least, in the rise of new religions, which integrated the experience of otherness in a new ethos.
