The need of providing for the training of students is even greater in Egypt than it is in Greece and Italy; and the relation of England to Egypt at present makes it the more suitable that support should be given to a British school in that land. This body is the only such agency, and is also the basis of the excavations of Prof. Flinders Petrie, who has had many students associated with his work in past years. The large results of this centre of work in the subjects of the prehistoric ages, the early dynasties, the relations of prehistoric Greece with Egypt, the papyri, and the classical paintings, have shown how much need there is of maintaining these excavations in full action. The present year's work on the Temple of Onias, a Hyksos cemetery and fort, the cemetery of Goshen, and the town of RaamsSs in Succoth, has carried on the course of historical discovery. Active support is required to ensure the continuance of such work, which depends entirely on personal contributions, and each subscriber receives the annual volume. The antiquities not retained by the Egyptian Government are presented to Public Museums, after the Annual Exhibition, during July, at University College. The accounts are audited by a Chartered Accountant, and published in the Annual Report. Treasurer : F. G. HILTONPRICE, Child's Bank, I, Fleet Street, E.C. ADDRESS THE HON.

  • Aelius Gallus at Cleopatris (Suez) . and on the Red Sea Philip Mayerson
    Aelius Gallus at Cleopatris (Suez) and on the Red Sea Mayerson, Philip Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Spring 1995; 36, 1; ProQuest pg. 17 Aelius Gallus at Cleopatris (Suez) . and on the Red Sea Philip Mayerson HE MILITARY EXPEDITION of Aelius Gallus to Arabia in 26/25 B.C. 1 has attracted considerable scholarly comment T on his campaign regarding its chronology, the political and economic reasons behind it, the identification of Arabian sites mentioned in the sources, Gallus' misadventures caused by the duplicity of his Nabataean guide Syllaeus or by his own miscalculations, and his inglorious retreat to Egypt. Arabia has been the focal point of interest, understandably so since little was known of Rome's relationship with this exotic region at the end of, or prior to, the first century B.C. The mounting of the amphibious operation at Cleopatris, on the other hand, has been generally ignored, perhaps because Strabo 16.4.23 is its only source, whereas Pliny the Elder (HN 6.160ff), Josephus (AJ 15.317), Cassius Dio (53.29.3-8), and the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (5.26) supplement Strabo's account of Gallus' campaign in Arabia (16.4.23f). Be that as it may, the early phase of the expedition bears upon the factors that led to Gallus' failure in Arabia. It also raises questions regarding the historicity of certain details in Strab(,)'s acc9unt, Strabo tells us that Gallus "built not less than eighty boats, biremes and triremes and light boats, at Cleopatris, which is near the old canal (1tP0C; 'tn 1taA.al~ OlOOPUYl) that extends from the Nile (to the Gulf of Suez)." When Gallus realized that Syllaeus had deceived him into thinking he was to be opposed by an Arabian navy, "he built.

Remote Sensing of Endangered Archaeology on Gebel Ataqah, Egypt. – Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 16(2) (2019), 1-21. ISSN 1567-214X. 21 pages + 9 figures. Keywords: Remote sensing, endangered archaeology, Gebel Ataqah ABSTRACT This paper reports on a recent survey of a range of archaeological sites on and around Gebel Ataqah, a mountain area to the west of Suez. These sites were identified through the analysis of publicly available satel- lite imagery, principally Google Earth (GE), as part of the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) project, supplemented by historical references to the area and notes published by earlier travellers. The absence of existing archaeological data is due to a military presence in this area, from at least the 1950s, limiting access and exploration. The results of this survey show high levels of archaeological potential across large parts of Gebel Ataqah that require more detailed analysis on the ground, in an impor- tant, yet often underexplored, region. A series of major current and future threats to these archaeological sites are also identified which, alongside the presented survey data, will inform any future heritage management schemes.

  • Settlement and Trade in the Red Sea in Late Antiquity: an Archaeological Perspective*
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.9.0.2056308 AWE 9 (2010) 193-220 SETTLEMENT AND TRADE IN THE RED SEA IN LATE ANTIQUITY: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE* MICHAEL DECKER Abstract Recent archaeological work at sites that engaged in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean trade reveals that the ports of Myos Hormos, Berenike, Clysma, Aila, Adulis and Qana’ experi- enced broadly similar settlement peaks and troughs between the 1st and 7th centuries AD. The material remains of these settlements indicate that trade was at its peak in the 1st– 2nd centuries AD, declined in the 3rd century, and revived again in the 4th–5th centuries. Four of the sites were abandoned in the 6th or 7th centuries, which signals probable shifts in the pattern of commerce and may well indicate transformations in the nature and scale of trade in the Red Sea and India. Roman trade in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean has been the subject of numerous studies and it is now generally agreed that by the 1st century AD the Romans car- ried on a steady trade via the Red Sea with the Horn of Africa and parts further east. This was a lucrative commerce, conducted by a relatively sophisticated mer- chant network that employed large vessels and traded in a wide array of goods, including precious commodities such as spices and ivory. Given that scholars have until the last few decades viewed the later Roman empire as one of economic stag- nation or decline, it is unsurprising that the nature and scale of Red Sea trade has received relatively little attention.

  • Resolving the Chronology of the Hyksos Kings
    RESOLVING CHRONOLOGY OF THE 2nd MILLENNIUM B.C. James B. Parkinson Several puzzling problems of Canaanite archaeology and Hyksos times can be resolved by looking for Israel’s Exodus and entry into Canaan rather earlier than has been commonly considered. Key findings include: The Mediterranean campaign of Ur-Nammu, king of Ur and Sumer, fourteen years before he died, corresponds well to the campaign of Amraphel, king of Shinar, fourteen years before Abram’s victory over him. Nearly 430 years later, Moses would have been contemporary with Pharaoh Khyan/Iannas (as attested in the N.T.); hence the Exodus from Egypt in B.C. 1615 must have begun the decline of the Hyksos kings. The once unexplained end of the Middle Bronze age in the mid-16th century B.C. is readily explained by the Israelite invasion of Canaan. The Habiru threat of the el-Amarna letters apparently follows the contemporary victories of Deborah/Barak and Gideon. The Biblical accounts appear both reliable and precise. Introduction Israel’s Exodus from Egypt and entry into Canaan are central to its early history. Over the past many decades scholars have argued only whether it was around the time of Thutmose III (mid-14th century B.C.) or around the end of the reign of Ramesses II (c. BC1237-1212). Abetted by lack of positive evidence for the former and by progressive lowerings of the reigns of the kings of the United Monarchy, the latter has been strongly favored of late. In the light of Palestinian archaeology, this view has made it fashionable to doubt the conquest tradition of Israel, or that any pre-Kings historical details should be taken more seriously than, say, the bizarre Gilgamesh Epic.

  • Reconstruction of Ancient Conceptual Landscapes in the Nile Valley
    Reconstruction of ancient conceptual landscapes in the Nile Valley Giulio Magli Faculty of Civil Architecture, Politecnico di Milano. Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32, 20133 Milan, Italy. E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract: Conceptual landscapes in Egypt show a remarkable continuity – for as long as 2000 years – in the use of symbols and in the interplay between natural and man-built features. Directionality, both in the sense of succession of elements and of orientation of single buildings and tombs, plays a key role in governing the landscape in accordance with the idea of “cosmic” order, which was the basis of the temporal power of the pharaoh. Comparing satellite image with local surveys and using simple web-based instruments for tracing visibility lines helps in understanding connections and messages which were meant to be clear and obvious in ancient times but may be lost, or forgotten, today. In particular, the prominent role of astronomical and topographical alignments in the planning of successive monuments comes out at sites like Abydos, Giza, Dahshur and at Western Thebes. The way in which the same symbols and elements were elaborated by the “heretic” pharaoh Akhenaten in planning the landscape of his capital at Amarna is also highlighted. Keywords: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Landscapes, Web-based Archaeo-topography 1. Introduction Archaeoastronomy, the science exploring the relationship of ancient architecture with the sky, is a relatively new discipline. It started from the pioneering efforts of Gerald Hawkins and Alexander Thom in the sixties of the last century. These authors were the first to put in evidence in a systematic way the possible relevance of astronomical alignments in the interpretation of ancient sites.

  • Ahmose, Son of Ebana: the Expulsion of the Hyksos
    Ahmose, son of Ebana: The Expulsion of the Hyksos Ahmose, son of Ebana, was an officer in the Egyptian army during the end of the 17th Dynasty to the beginning of the 18th Dynasty (16th century BCE). Originally from Elkab in Upper Egypt, he decided to become a soldier, like his father, Baba, who served under Seqenenre Tao II in the early campaigns against the Hyksos. Ahmose spent most of his military life serving aboard the king’s fleet - fighting at Avaris, at Sharuhen in Palestine, and in Nubia during the service of Ahmose I, and was often cited for his bravery in battle by the king. These accounts were left in a tomb that Ahmose, son of Ebana, identifies as his own at the end of the water—for he was captured on the city side-and he Crew Commander Ahmose son of crossed the water carrying him. When it was Abana, the justified; he says: I speak reported to the royal herald I was rewarded with T to you, all people. I let you know gold once more.
