  • An Analysis of Egypt's Foreign Policy During the Saite Period
    AN ANALYSIS OF EGYPT'S FOREIGN POLICY DURING THE SAITE PERIOD by JULIEN BOAST A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MPHIL(B) in EGYPTOLOGY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity School of Historical Studies The University of Birmingham September 2006 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study consists of an analysis of Egyptian foreign policy during the Saite period (including the reign of Necho I), and also briefly examines the actions of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty in order to establish the correct context. Despite the large gaps in the historical record during this period, judicious use of sources from a number of different cultures allows the historian to attempt to reconstruct the actions of the time, and to discuss possible motivations for them, seeking to identify concerns linking the foreign policy of all the Saite kings.

  • Cyberscribe 162 1
    Cyberscribe 162 1 CyberScribe 162 - February 2009 Because some of the themes match images close to the CyberScribe's heart, he intends to start this column by noting the reopening of a gallery in the British Museum...a gallery dedicated to the masterpieces from the tomb of Nebamun. No one really knows who he was, the location of his tomb has been lost, but the plaster panels preserved in London and a few other places have been recleaned, reconserved and are brilliant in their new surroundings. Thee are quite simply, the best and most recognized of all wall art themes from ancient Egypt. They have been off display for years while they underwent intensive work to assure that they are stable, that the paints will not further deteriorate...and now they have their own gallery. The CyberScribe was permitted to see several of the famous panels while they were in storage...and without their protective glass sheets. They are lovely beyond words...and the CyberScribe knows that he will probably never again have that wonderful opportunity. A few of the photos from that day are appended below. In an article from ' The Guardian' (http://www.guardianweekly.co.uk/?page=editorial&id=879&catID=10) (edited for length here), we learn (from the words of Richard Parkinson, a curator in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, at the British Museum): "You might think that after 10 years just focused on these paintings from his funerary chapel, I'd feel very close to Nebamun. But in fact we still know very little about him.

  • A Study of the Architecture of the Cemetery of El-Hawawish at Akhmim in Upper Egypt in the Old Kingdom
    A Study of the Architecture of the Cemetery of El-Hawawish at Akhmim in Upper Egypt in the Old Kingdom * jfe * Elizabeth M. Thompson, B.A., Dip. in Ancient Documentary Studies (Macquarie University) Thesis submitted for the Degree of Master of Arts within Macquarie University, Division of Humanities, School of Ancient History, Sydney. November, 2001 * * * I, Elizabeth M. Thompson, certify that the work presented here has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other university or institution. SUMMARY The thesis examines the architectural features and measurements of the rock hewn tombs in the necropolis of El-Hawawish at Akhmim, the capital o f the ninth province in Upper Egypt and a major administrative centre. The cemetery contains the burials of high and middle rank officials who administered the province in the Old Kingdom from the Fifth to the Eighth Dynasties (c. 2400-2160B.C.). The tombs are examined firstly, to determine whether architectural features could assist in the dating of their owners and secondly, whether certain features and measurements are indicative of the rank of these officials. Comparisons are made with tombs in the Memphite and provincial cemeteries and a study of the various elements of tomb architecture at El-Hawawish showed a chronological development similar to that observed in the tombs of the royal necropoli at Giza and Saqqara. Particular features which were introduced in certain reigns here can be found in what appear to be contemporary tombs at El-Hawawish and other provincial cemeteries. The rank of tomb owners is clearly revealed in the larger or smaller dimensions of chapels and burial chambers, and by the inclusion of certain features.
