Описание: The rich history of Egypt has provided famous examples of board games played in antiquity. Each of these games provides evidence of contact between Egypt and its neighbours. From pre-dynastic rule to Arab and Ottoman invasions, Egypt’s past is visible on game boards. This volume starts by introducing the reader to board games as well as instruments of chance and goes on to trace the history and distribution of ancient Egyptian games, looking particularly at how they show contact with other cultures and civilizations. Game practices, which were also part of Egyptian rituals and divination, travelled throughout the eastern Mediterranean. This book explores the role of Egypt in accepting and disseminating games during its long history. Over the last few years, the extent and the modes of contact have become better understood through museum and archival research projects as well as surveys of archaeological sites in Egypt and its surrounding regions. The results allow new insight into ancient Egypt’s international relations and the role of board games research in understanding its extent. Written by three authors known internationally for their expertise on this topic, this will be the first volume on Ancient Egyptian games of its kind and a much-needed contribution to the field of both Egyptology and board games studies.
Описание: This book presents a history of ancient Egyptian kingship in the Old Kingdom and its re-formation in the early Middle Kingdom. Lisa Sabbahy examines the basis of kingship and its legitimacy. It appeals to scholars interested in ancient Egyptian history.

Описание: The ancient Egyptians had very definite views about their neighbours, some positive, some negative. As one would expect, Egyptian perceptions of 'the other' were subject to change over time, especially in response to changing political, social and economic conditions. Thus, as Asiatics became a more familiar part of everyday life in Egypt, and their skills and goods became increasingly important, depictions of them took on more favourable aspects. The investigation by necessity involves a multi-disciplined approach which seeks to combine and synthesize data from a wider variety of sources than drawn upon in earlier studies. By the same token, the book addresses the interests of, and has appeal to, a broad spectrum of scholars and general readers.

Описание: This book presents the latest archaeological evidence that makes a case for Egypt as an early urban society. It traces the emergence of urban features during the Predynastic period up to the disintegration of the powerful Middle Kingdom state (c.3500-1650 BC).
Описание: In The Representations of Women in the Middle Kingdom Tombs of Officials Lubica Hudakova offers an in-depth analysis of female iconography in the decorative programme of Middle Kingdom non-royal tombs, highlighting changes and innovations in comparison to the Old Kingdom. Previously considered too uniform, the study represents the first systematic investigation of two-dimensional images of women and reveals their variability in space and time. Hudakova examines the roles appointed to women by analyzing how they are depicted in a variety of contexts. Taking into account their postures, gestures, garments, hairstyles, size of the body, age as well as attributes and tools used by them, along with the scene orientation, she traces diachronic and diatopic developments and regional traditions in the Middle Kingdom tomb decoration.
Описание: This book presents subject matter dealing with the visual culture of the Old Kingdom. The book in honour of Yvonne Harpur.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, growing numbers of tourists and scholars from Europe and America, fascinated by new discoveries, visited the Near East and Egypt - attracted by the riches and mysteries of the Land of the Bible. Almost all such visitors, no matter how esoteric or academic their pursuits, had to deal with the local authorities and the native workforce for their archaeological excavations. The vast majority of these visitors had to rely on interpreters, dragomans, translators and local guides.
This study, based on published and unpublished travel memoirs, guidebooks, personal papers and archaeological reports of the British and American archaeologists, deals with the socio-political status and multi-faceted role of interpreters at the time. Those bi- or multi-lingual individuals frequently took on (or were forced to take on) much more than just interpreting. They often played the role of go-betweens, servants, bodyguards, pimps, diplomats, spies, messengers, managers and overseers, and had to mediate, scheme and often improvise, whether in an official or unofficial capacity.
For the most part denied due credit and recognition, these interpreters are finally here given a new voice. An engrossing story emerges of how through their many and varied actions and roles, they had a crucial part to play in the introduction to Britain and America of these mysterious past cultures and civilizations.

Описание: Expertly taking readers through one of the most transformative periods in Ancient Egypt, Robert Morkot demonstrates how, under the pharaohs of the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BCE), Egypt rose to be the largest and most dominant state of the Late Bronze Age world of western Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. Morkot deftly analyses key aspects of the New Kingdom Era - covering the production of some of Egypt’s most spectacular monuments, such as the Tombs in the Valley of the Kings - and analysing the political careers of some of its most renowned rules: the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut; the empire builder, Thutmose III; the still-controversial religious reformer, Akhenaten; Tutankhamun, and Ramesses II.Morkot also offers readers a wider outlook, examining how the globalisation of the Late Bronze Age brought numerous changes in warfare, resulting in the creation of an empire and sphere of influence that spread up the Nile valley and into the Levant and Syria. The volume explores how Egypt maintained its position through the wealth of its Nilotic empire, with gold from the deserts of Egypt and Nubia, and incense, ivory and ebony from longer-distance trade with neighbouring kingdoms of north-east Africa. With Egypt’s wide-ranging networks stretching from the Aegean to Babylon, and from Anatolia to the Red Sea coast, Morkot highlights how these close contacts brought numerous influences in art and religion to Egypt, but how politically the interconnections ultimately brought the entire region to the point of collapse.
