SUMMARY:ARCE Georgia: A New Look at the Treasures of Tutankhamun’s Tomb
DESCRIPTION:When Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922\, the objects in it created a sensation. For decades the objects have dazzled the world and been the centerpiece of the Cairo Museum. Even so\, the circumstances of Tutankhamun’s death and burial have always raised questions. The construction of new museums in Egypt\, and the relocation of these objects\, has created a new opportunity for study of many of these objects. \nIn a lecture titled A New Look at the Treasures of Tutankhamun’s Tomb\, Dr. Robert Bianchi\, chief curator at the Ancient Egyptian Museum Shibuya [Tokyo] will focus on the reevaluation of objects from this most famous of tombs. \nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt and the Carlos Museum.

SUMMARY:Eggstraordinary Objects: ostrich eggs as luxury items in the ancient Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tamar Hodos\, University of Bristol \nDecorated ostrich eggs were traded as luxury items from the Middle East to the western Mediterranean during the second and first millennia BCE. The eggs were engraved\, painted\, and occasionally embellished with ivory\, precious metals and faience fittings. While archaeologists note their presence as unusual vessels in funerary and dedicatory contexts\, little is known about how or from where they were sourced\, decorated and traded. An ongoing project between researchers at Bristol University and the British Museum has established techniques to identify where the eggs originated and how they were decorated. This talk shares the results of our study\, revealing the complexity of the production\, trade\, and economic and social values of luxury organic items between competing cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMscuGhrzMvGdB8aReWTG8Q5DLaMX2vLsSP

SUMMARY:Egyptian Rule and Canaanite Resistance as Seen from Jaffa: ARCE Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The excavations of the Egyptian New Kingdom fortress in Jaffa\, on the southern side of Tel Aviv were undertaken from 1956 to 2014. It was the only Egyptian fortress excavated in Canaan. Its archaeological record\, particularly the evidence from several dramatic destructions\, provides a unique perspective on Egyptian rule and local resistance to it from ca. 1460 to 1125 B.C. The archaeological evidence\, taken together with textual sources\, yields a picture of Canaanite resistance to the Egyptian military presence in Jaffa. This originated in centers located throughout the coastal plain and persisted for several centuries. This talk is drawn from excavations directed by the author and undertaken by the Jaffa Cultural Heritage Project between 2011 and 2014. Dr. Aaron Burke is the Kershaw Chair of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Studies at UCLA.

SUMMARY:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe - ARCE Members Only
DESCRIPTION:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe\n\n\nDr. Solange Ashby\n\n2:00 PM Illinois/12pm PST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussions of the widespread appeal of the cult of Isis in antiquity often omit any mention of the Nubian priests who served the rulers of the Kingdom of Meroe (located south of Egypt in the Sudan) and the royal donations of gold that they delivered to the temple of Isis at Philae\, located at Egypt’s border with Nubia. Those funds were essential to the survival of the temple of Philae\, allowing it to remain in active use for centuries after other temples had been abandoned in Egypt. I will describe the rites performed by the Nubian priests and their participation in a tradition of Nubian pilgrimage to this site that spanned one thousand years. \nAs a Black Egyptologist it is important to me to investigate the southern connections that are evident in the ancient religious practices of Egypt. Much work remains to be done to highlight these connections. \n\nThis online lecture is available exclusively to active ARCE members. To register\, click here.\nRegistration is required and closes 48 hours before the event.\nBiography of Solange Ashby: \nSolange Ashby received her PhD in Egyptology\, with a specialization in ancient Egyptian language and Nubian religion\, from the University of Chicago. She has researched in Egypt at the temple of Philae and participated in an archaeological excavation in El-Kurru\, Sudan (royal Kushite cemetery). Her first book\, Calling Out to Isis: The Enduring Nubian Presence at Philae\, was released in July by Gorgias Press.  Her current research explores the roles of women in traditional Nubian religious practices. Dr. Ashby is working on the first monograph dedicated to the history\, religious symbolism\, and political power of the queens of Kush.

SUMMARY:Excavating Dangeil: Royal Statues and Sacred Rams
DESCRIPTION:Register by clicking here.\n\nJoin Dr. Julie Anderson for an exploration of the Dangeil archeological site.\nExcavations at Dangeil\, located close to the Nile in what is now central Sudan\, have uncovered a previously unknown 1st century CE temple dedicated to the god Amun. Earlier rulers discovered there in a statue hoard include the celebrated Kushite Pharoah Taharqo. This is one of many discoveries at Dangeil throwing unexpected light on African history from antiquity into the medieval period and later.\n\nDr. Julie Anderson is responsible for curating the Sudanese and Nubian collections of the British Museum. Excavating at numerous sites in Egypt and Sudan since 1987\, her research interests include daily life and material culture in the Nile valley and surrounding deserts. Since 1997\, she has co-directed archaeological excavations in Sudan together with the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums (NCAM) in the Berber-Abidiya region. Her current fieldwork is concentrated upon the late Kushite site of Dangeil (3rd century BC – 4th century AD)\, situated approximately 350km north of Khartoum\, where excavation of a large Amun temple\, surrounding temenos enclosure and associated cemetery is underway. Currently\, she is the Honorary Secretary for the International Society for Nubian Studies and for the Sudan Archaeological Research Society.\nThis program is presented in partnership with the American Research Center in Egypt.\n\n\n1:00 p.m. EST — 7:00 p.m. EET \n\n\nPlease help the NAC support artists. By making a donation with your registration\, you contribute directly to the NAC Artist Fellows program\, helping to further the careers of up-and-coming artists.\nThis program will be hosted via Zoom. You will receive additional details upon registration.\nAll images copyright Berber-Abidiya Archaeological Project.

SUMMARY:Ancient Egypt: Cradle of Gender Equality - NELC Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Egypt: Cradle of Gender Equality \nwith Cynthia Smith\, Independent Scholar \n  \nUnlike most other ancient societies\, Egyptian women achieved parity with Egyptian men.  The disparities between people’s legal and economic rights were based on differences in social class not gender. The wife\, mother or daughter of a king or prominent official could wield considerable influence. On rare occasions a woman might even assume the full mantle of royal power and rule as king. In this lecture the archaeological record and art will demonstrate how ancient Egyptian women were depicted in literary compositions; in property and contract law; in public and private life; and in religion and mythology. \n\nUniversity of Washington – Smith Hall rm 105 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter\nCo-sponsored by the Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, University of Washington and Department of Gender\, Women and Sexuality Studies

SUMMARY:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds
DESCRIPTION:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds \n  \nFustat\, part of modern Cairo\, was the site of the first Muslim settlement in Egypt beginning in the 640s.  The area to which the name Fustat was applied expanded to include the next two Muslim administrative centers and was the location of the majority of Cairo’s urban population while rulers were found in al-Qahira [The origins of the name Cairo (969-1171) and the citadel (to the mid-19th century).  Only in the 20th century did excavations in historic Fustat begin but then only on an irregular basis.  One of the most important excavators was the American and former ARCE director George Scanlon who established his international reputation based upon his work in Fustat.  In addition to tracing the story of the excavators and their work\, the talk will illustrate some of the findings including beads\, coins\, printed paper\, inscribed textiles called tiraz and other material. \nJere Bacharach\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of History\, UW\, first visited Fustat (Cairo) in 1964 and saw it most recently in 2018 with visits to the site and meetings with archaeologists during the intervening decades. He also edited Fustat Finds\, a volume of essays on finds from the site which were owned by a local Egyptian physician. \n\nUniversity of Washington – Thompson Hall rm 101 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter Co-sponsored by the UW Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization and the Middle East Center\, Henry M.

SUMMARY:Revelation of the Mysteries of Osiris\, Lord of Abydos - NELC Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Revelation of the Mysteries of Osiris\, Lord of Abydos: the secret rituals of reviving a murdered god  \nwith UW Graduate Student\, Bryan Kraemer \n  \nThe ancient mysteries celebrated to revive the god Osiris during festivals held at his tomb in Abydos were a secret kept by the priests of Ancient Egypt for almost 2000 years. And yet a wish to participate in these mysteries in life or after death appears among Ancient Egyptian texts so frequently that it must be one of the most talked about secrets ever. Although we have been aware of how parts of the festivals at Abydos worked for almost a century\, the most secret mysteries have so far been unknown to scholars:  How did the Egyptians perform the rituals to revive the murdered god? \n\nUniversity of Washington – Smith Hall rm 211 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter\nCo-sponsored by the Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization\, University of Washington
