However, the news turned out to be unfounded, with Mustafa Amîn, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, telling Al-Ahram Weekly that the reports were based on a misunderstanding. “The palace is owned by the government and cannot be sold. This would be against the law and the constitution,” Amîn said, adding that the building was on Egypt’s Antiquities List, which is protected by law 117 of 1983 and amendments in 2010. According to the law, the building is public property and cannot be sold to a private owner. He said that the property that had been sold was a house in al-Thawra Street in Heliopolis that had once been owned by Baron EMPAIN’s family and this had caused the misunderstanding. Amîn said that the palace had been owned by the Housing Ministry until 2009, when it was transferred to the Antiquities Ministry as it was put on the Antiquities List of Islamic and Coptic Monuments according to ministerial decree number 1297 of 1993. Muhsin Sayyid, former head of the Islamic and Coptic antiquities department at the Ministry of Antiquities, told the Weekly that several attempts had been made by the former Egyptian-Saudi owners to restore the building and convert it into a luxury hotel or night club, but the attempts had failed because the planned restoration works were rejected by the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), now the ministry, as they did not follow strict enough standards. In 2005, Sayyid said, the cabinet had agreed to transfer the ownership of the palace to the SCA and compensate the owners by offering them a 115-feddan plot of land in New Cairo. The palace was then completely cleaned, and the bats were removed from the building. In 2007, an Indian company suggested that it would restore the palace and embarked on an inspection tour of the building, taking photographs and carrying out a detailed architectural survey. However, in the event the company did not start the restoration. Antiquities Minister Mamdûh al-Damâtî recently carried out an inspection tour of the palace and gave the go-ahead for the 2010 restoration project in collaboration with a Belgian mission. The project had come to a halt after budgetary problems in the wake of the 25 January Revolution. The Belgian restoration project was revived in 2012, and it aims at ending the deterioration of the palace, restoring it to its former glory by transforming it into an international cultural centre. A small museum showing the history of Heliopolis from 1907 to 1911, the period in which the palace was built, will be set up in the Centre. Documents and rare books from the same era are also scheduled be exhibited. A small jewellery museum, a ceremonial hall and a meeting room are also in the works. The palace walls will be restored, cracks filled and decorations restored. al-Damâtî told the Weekly that a month ago the ministry had carried out minor restoration and consolidation of a number of the palace’s decorative elements and sections facing problems. He said that the ministry was reviewing the Belgian restoration plan and studying the palace’s architecture in an attempt to draw up a complete restoration project that would allow for future use. He also announced that revenues from ceremonies held in the Palace’s gardens would be allocated to the restoration budget. Baron EMPAIN’s Palace was built in 1906 to be the residence of the Belgian industrialist Edouard EMPAIN who came to Egypt in 1904 to construct a railway line linking the lower Egyptian city of Mansûra to Matariyya on the far side of Lake Manzala. French architect Alexandre MARCEL built him the palace in the Avenue of Palaces in Heliopolis (now al-‘Urûba Street), being inspired by the Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat and the Hindu temple of Orissa. Marcel incorporated into the external design reproductions of a variety of human figures, statues of Indian dancers, elephants, snakes, Buddhas, Shivas and Krishnas. MARCEL’s colleague Georges-Louis CLAUDE designed the interior and the decoration. Both architects were well-known at the time, and they had already constructed the Oriental Pavilion attached to the Royal Palace of Laeken in Belgium. The palace consists of two floors and a small extension near the roof. Windows studded with small pieces of Belgian glass were especially created so as not to lose sight of the sun during the day. Construction was completed in 1911, and the palace was surrounded by a landscaped garden adorned with ascending green terraces, each with its own set of marble statues and exotic vegetation. EMPAIN died at Woluwe in Belgium in 1929, but his body was brought back to Egypt for burial under the Basilica of Notre Dame in Heliopolis. Three generations of EMPAINS then occupied the palace, but in 1957 it was sold by its owners and began to fall into ruin. Some parts of the Indian decorative elements and sculptures crumbled and fell away, and the beautifully designed parquet floors and gold-plated doorknobs went astray. As negligence took its toll, the palace became the abode of bats, which in an odd way suited its Gothic aspect. The gilded ceilings, the decorations and the famed Belgian mirrors that once graced the walls were hidden by bats and bat droppings. Rumours about the palace spread, and to many it became a house of horror. Some said that it was used by drug dealers as a storage space for illicit goods, while others believed it was haunted by devils and called it the “House of Vampires” or “Count Dracula’s Castle”. The Palace’s neighbours called it the “Ghost House,” claiming to hear the sound of voices and dragging furniture in the middle of the night while the lights in the garden lit up and turned off suddenly.

(Mariette 1864,8)1 In stating his experience of the dichotomy between decorative displays and scientific accu- racy, the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette located the heart of the dilemma which had pervaded the field of Egyptology since its establishment at the beginning of the nine- teenth century: the tension between Egyptology and “Egyptomania.” The term “Egyptol- ogy” defines the historical science that studies ancient Egypt, including within it various disciplines such as archaeology, history, or philology, and often held as beginning with Jean-François Champollion’s ground-breaking discovery: the first steps in the decipher- ment of hieroglyphs in 1822.

    The Official Publication of the Northern California Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt May 2021 Dr. Francesco Tiradritti The Life and Deeds of Luigi Vassalli: Painter, Patriot and Egyptologist Sunday, May 2, 3 p.m. PDT @Zoom: registration required Luigi Vassalli was born in 1812 in Milan. In 1828 he enrolled at the Brera Academy and around this period he joined the Mazzinian activism but after a failed conspiracy he was sentenced to death, only to be Cartouche pardoned but exiled. He moved in several places across Europe and later he traveled to Egypt where he began working for the local government. In 1848 Vassalli returned to his homeland to join the revolutionary movements against the Austrian Empire, but after the failure he returned to Egypt where he became a portrait painter and an archaeological guide for wealthy foreigners. Around 1858 he was appointed Inspector of excavations by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette, who was Director of Antiquities at this time. Vassalli assisted in excavations at Giza and Saqqara until 1860, when he returned home to give his contribution to the Expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. After the victory he was appointed First Class Conservator at the Naples National Archaeological Museum; however, the office was soon abolished by the still pro-Borbonic museum management and Vassalli again came back to Cairo. In Egypt he made several archaeological explorations in many sites such as Tanis, Saqqara, Dendera and Edfu from 1861 to 1868. He sent many mummy remains to the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale of Milan and in 1871 he made around 150 casts from monuments exhibited in the Bulaq Museum which he brought to Florence with him.

  • MEHEN Nieuws (23) 28 Februari 2014 MEHEN, Studiecentrum Voor Het Oude Egypte
    MEHEN Nieuws (23) 28 februari 2014 MEHEN, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte Beste donateurs en liefhebbers van het oude Egypte, Het jaar 2014 is al bijna 60 dagen gevorderd en Mehen nadert alweer de 100 donateurs. Als u Mehen ook dit jaar weer wilt ondersteunen, dan kunt u uw donatie overmaken naar rekeningnummer NL86INGB0671936387, BIC: INGBNL2A t.n.v. mevrouw B.J. Koek-Overvest e/o de heer J.G. Koek te Elst (U.). Alvast onze hartelijke dank. De meeste donateurs van 2013 hebben het boek “Mehen, Essays over het oude Egypte”, tijdens de presentatie op 28 december 2013 ontvangen. Voor een kort verslag zie elders in het Mehen Nieuws. Dankzij Carla Meulstee begeeft Mehen zich nu ook op het pad van facebook. De pagina op facebook is: Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte. Recente ontdekkingen in Egypte Ondanks de roerige tijden in Egypte zijn er de laatste tijd een aantal spectaculaire ontdekkingen gedaan. Zo vond een Japans team, o.l.v. prof. Jiro Kondo, van het Instituut van Egyptologie, Wasada Universiteit te Tokio, een graf in el Chocha op de westoever van Luxor. De grafeigenaren zijn Chonsoe-em-heb (Chonsoe in feest) en zijn vrouw Moet-em-heb (Moet in feest). Hij was “eerste van de werkplaats van Moet” en “het hoofd van de brouwers van de tempel van Moet”. Zijn vrouw was “zangeres van Moet”, evenals hun dochter Isetcha. Het graf werd gevonden terwijl het Japanse team de voorhof van het graf van Oeserhat , opzichter van de appartementen van de koning, uit de regering van Amonhotep III (TT 47), aan het schoonmaken was.

  • Marks on Egyptian Festival Pottery the Use of Pot Marks in the Context of Osirian Rituals at Umm El-Qaab, Abydos
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Julia Budka, Frank Kammerzell & Sławomir Rzepka (Hg.), Non-textual marking systems in Ancient Egypt (and elsewhere) (Lingua Aegyptia – Studia monographica 16), Hamburg 2015, S. 283–297 Non-Textual Marking Systems in Ancient Egypt (and Elsewhere), 283-297 Marks on Egyptian Festival Pottery The use of pot marks in the context of Osirian rituals at Umm el-Qaab, Abydos Julia Budka, Vienna/Munich* Abstract To interpret specific sets of pot marks, one relies on the context of the pottery vessels: the find spot, dat- ing, shape and ware of the specific vessels, A specialised and site-specific use of pot marks seems to be attested in Pharaonic Egypt for the New Kingdom within the frameworks of festivals (see Hope 1999). This paper presents exemplarily pot marks on New Kingdom vessels functioning as votive gifts and connected with festivals and rituals embedded in the cult of Osiris at Umm el-Qaab, Abydos. It aims to illustrate possible reasons why similar and even identical marks appear both on painted festival vessels (Budka 2008; Budka 2013) and votive pots of a type that is commonly found in settlement contexts. As work is still ongoing, only a selection of pot marks from Umm el-Qaab will be discussed. 1 Introduction The German Archaeological Institute Cairo has been excavating at Umm el-Qaab since 1977. The site, which is the earliest burial ground for the kings of Egypt, *1 became an important sacred place since the god Osiris was believed to be buried there. From at least the early Middle Kingdom onwards, the tomb of Djer (First Dynasty) was inter- preted as the tomb of Osiris.2 The royal necropolis lies not isolated on its desert plateau in front of the major wadi in the area, but it is connected with several temples and tombs by means of processional routes (Fig.

  • Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering
    Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering Yao Zong (Andy) Ng Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Yao Zong (Andy) Ng All rights reserved ABSTRACT Expanding the Toolkit for Metabolic Engineering Yao Zong (Andy) Ng The essence of metabolic engineering is the modification of microbes for the overproduction of useful compounds. These cellular factories are increasingly recognized as an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective way to convert inexpensive and renewable feedstocks into products, compared to traditional chemical synthesis from petrochemicals. The products span the spectrum of specialty, fine or bulk chemicals, with uses such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, flavors and fragrances, agrochemicals, biofuels and building blocks for other compounds. However, the process of metabolic engineering can be long and expensive, primarily due to technological hurdles, our incomplete understanding of biology, as well as redundancies and limitations built into the natural program of living cells. Combinatorial or directed evolution approaches can enable us to make progress even without a full understanding of the cell, and can also lead to the discovery of new knowledge. This thesis is focused on addressing the technological bottlenecks in the directed evolution cycle, specifically de novo DNA assembly to generate strain libraries and small molecule product screens and selections. In Chapter 1, we begin by examining the origins of the field of metabolic engineering. We review the classic “design–build–test–analyze” (DBTA) metabolic engineering cycle and the different strategies that have been employed to engineer cell metabolism, namely constructive and inverse metabolic engineering.
