It is located at about 7 km north of Faqous city, Sharqiya governorate, Egypt. The ancient name of El‐ Dabaa area was Avaris, which had been considered as the main capital of Hyksos (Dynasty XV) from 1650 to 1542 B.C. The whole area was covered by the deltaic deposits during the successive flood events along Nile Delta. Geomagnetic and geoelectric surveys have been carried out in order to outline the subsurface archaeological remains in this area. The target area, which is about 10000 m2, was surveyed in grid pattern each of 20x 10 m for magnetic survey and 20 × 20 m for geoelectri‐ cal resistance survey. Integrated results of the magnetic and geoelectric data analysis have suc‐ ceeded in delineating a clear subsurface picture of archaeological remains. The results show many linear anomalies, which may represent buried walls, as well as some small archaeological remains detached from the main walls. Also, we could notice some rectangular features with different sizes, which might be described as remains of different archaeological buildings.

    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.

  • From the Nile Delta to Karlsruhe: Or How to Present Mud Bricks in an Exhibition1
    15 FROM THE NILE DELTA TO KARLSRUHE: OR HOW TO PRESENT MUD BRICKS IN AN EXHIBITION1 BY HENNING FRANZMEIER AND SEBASTIAN HAGENEUER Qantir‐Pi‐Ramesse – historical importance and extension The city of Pi‐Ramesse (‘House of Ramesses’) was founded by king Ramesses II at the beginning of his 67‐year reign in the early 13th century BC in the north‐eastern Nile Delta, about 120 km northeast of modern Cairo.2 It was located just 1 to 2 km north of the existing town of Avaris, which had been the capital of the Hyksos during the 16th and 17th centuries BC. Already mentioned in the first year of Ramesses’ reign, it was this city to which he returned with his army after the famous battle of Kadesh in year 6 of his reign. During the following decades, it served as the royal residence and was enlarged into what has become one of the largest archaeological sites in the Eastern Mediterranean. While the central island with the city centre can be estimated as occupying 4 square kilometres, the total urban area might have reached 15‐20 square kilometres. The city was adorned with monumental palaces and temples. In their construction, extensive use was made of recycled and reused stone material.3 Other important elements of the residence were military installations, known from both texts, and the archaeological remains of stables that can be connected to the royal chariotry. Pi‐Ramesse was the royal residence that witnessed the conclusion of the peace treaty with the Hittite Empire and the subsequent marriage of the king with a daughter of the Hittite king.

  • What Is the Biblical Date of the Exodus? a Response to Bryant Wood
    JETS 50/2 (June 2007) 225–47 WHAT IS THE BIBLICAL DATE FOR THE EXODUS? A RESPONSE TO BRYANT WOOD james k. hoffmeier The date of the Exodus from Egypt has been a subject of intense scholarly discussion for decades now. Two principal dates have been staked out: the earlier one is in the 15th century, specifically 1446/7 bc, and the later date is in the 13th century, ca. 1270–1260 bc. Bryant Wood’s recent article in JETS 48/3 (2005) rejects the later date, while advocating the earlier option.1 This date, he maintains, is based on “biblical” chronology, while the other view he calls “a theory.” Certainly anyone who takes the Bible seriously as a source for history would naturally want to base a date on “biblical” data. Consequently, many conservative scholars are adherents of the so-called “early” date. Unfortunately for some, this date has become a sort of litmus test for one’s evangelical orthodoxy. This is lamentable, because I believe that the 13th-century date is equally based on biblical evidence. Hence I feel com- pelled to offer a modest critique of some aspects of Wood’s apology for the 15th century, because it is fraught with some serious problems. Before discussing my objections to Wood’s arguments, the ongoing debate among evangelicals needs to be placed in the broader context of the main- stream of scholarship regarding the Israelite exodus from Egypt. During the 1980s and 1990s, a number of influential studies appeared by scholars who either questioned or rejected the Bible’s version of Israel’s origin as a nation in Egypt.

  • Egypt and the Exodus
    2 Egypt and the Exodus MANFRED BIETAK AND GARY A. RENDSBURG THE STORY OF THE ISRAELITES IN AND OUT OF EGYPT may be divided into three main sections: the migration to Egypt, also called the Eisodus; the slavery in Egypt; and the Exodus from Egypt.1 THE MIGRATION TO EGYPT The Beni Hasan Tomb Painting For much of ancient Egyptian history, Semitic-speaking peoples from the Sinai and the Levant immigrated to Egypt and settled in the eastern Delta.2 Numerous documents (one crucial one to be cited and analyzed below) speak to this point, though, in line with the saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” pride of place still belongs to the famous Beni Hasan tomb painting (see images on the next page). The artwork appears on the north wall of Tomb 3 at Beni Hasan (c. 165 mi south of Cairo), dated to year 5 of the reign of Sesostris II, that is, 1895 B.C.E., during the 12th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom.3 The painting depicts a group of people, identified asʿ Amu of Shu— the former a generic term for Asiatics, the latter presumably a specific location unknown to us. It is not impossible, however, that the generic 17 ANCIENT ISRAEL word ʿꜢmw (ʿAmu) is the Semitic word ʿam(m), “people,” attested espe- cially in Hebrew and Aramaic.4 THE PROCESSION OF ASIATICS from the third register (from the top) of the north wall in the tomb of Khnumhotep at Beni Hasan, Egypt. ASIATICS IN DETAIL. Two segments of the third register of the north wall in the tomb of Khnumhotep at Beni Hasan.
