Current Research in Egyptology 2022: Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual Symposium, Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3, 26-30 September 2022

Edited by A. Bouhafs, L. Chapon, M. Claude, M. Danilova, L. Dautais, N. Fathy, A.I. Fernández Pichel, M. Guigner, M. Pinon, M. Valerio

 

The present volume collects thirty-two papers on various topics from the history of Egyptology to archaeology and material culture, from the Predynastic to the Roman period, through history and epigraphy, as well as new technologies.

The twenty-second Current Research in Egyptology conference was held at the Université Paul Valéry- Montpellier 3 on 26th–30th September 2022. From 250 attendees in person and online, young scholars in Egyptology from different institutions all over the world presented ninety-four papers and twenty-four posters. September 1822 witnessed a milestone event that marked the birth of scientific Egyptology: the young Jean-François Champollion from Figeac outlined the principles of Egyptian hieroglyphic writing in his famous Lettre à M. Dacier. 2022 also marked the centenary of another important milestone in Egyptology: the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. For these reasons, the congress celebrated the history of Egyptology and associated research with dedicated sessions, making them a focal point of the event.

The present volume collects thirty-two papers on various topics from the history of Egyptology to archaeology and material culture, from the Predynastic to the Roman period, through history and epigraphy, as well as new technologies.

The Penn Museum plans historic renovations to its New Egypt and Nubia galleries

The Penn Museum plans $54 million renovations to its New Egypt and Nubia galleries

The renovation is the largest in the institution's 136-year history.

It's the kind of news to warm an Egyptophile's heart.

This fall, the Penn Museum will begin construction of its new $54 million Ancient Egypt and Nubia galleries.

The ambitious, 14,000-square foot project is the largest renovation in the museum's 136-year history, and its two levels will now be home for the institution's collection of nearly 50,000 Egyptian and Nubian objects. Spanning from 4,000 BCE through the 7th century CE, it's one of the largest collections in the United States.

"Unveiling the Ancient Egypt and Nubia galleries will be a feat of major significance and a point of cultural pride for the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond," said Christopher Woods, Penn Museum's Williams Director. "Nowhere else outside of Egypt will visitors be able to walk through soaring architectural elements of an ancient Egyptian palace. It is worth the wait."

The new galleries will not only provide a glimpse into the lives of ancient Egyptians and Nubian rulers, Woods said, "but also working citizens who fueled two of the world's oldest and enduring societies."

During the construction project, the current Egypt Gallery, which opened in 1926, will close to the public on Nov. 6. Nov. 5 is the last day guests can visit the gallery.

However, lovers of the collection will be able to visit the exhibit, "Ancient Egypt: From Discovery to Display" while the Egypt Gallery is closed. Egyptian artifacts will also be on view in the African Galleries and the museum's new Eastern Mediterranean Galleries. Other galleries of the Penn Museum, as well as special exhibitions, will be open during the construction period.

The galleries' main level, targeted to open in late 2026, will focus on "life and afterlife in ancient Egypt." The large central gallery will be anchored by the limestone tomb chapel of Kaipure which has not been on display in its entirety in over 30 years. It dates back to 2,300 BCE in Saqqara and was where priests performed funerary rituals and left offerings to ensure the deceased would prosper in the afterlife.

The galleries' upper level will be devoted to gods and pharaohs. It will include the 3,000-year-old palace of the Pharaoh Merenptah, with 30-foot-tall columns, on display at their full height for the first since their excavation more than 100 years ago.

These galleries are aimed to be completed by late 2028.

Glenn Meyer ARCE-NC ePublicity Director About the Lecture: Since the early days of Egyptology it has been a commonplace that the Egyptian temple was conceived and decorated by the ancient Egyptians as an image of the world. Every visitor of any Egyptian temple would agree at once after a look at the ceiling covered with yellow stars on blue field and after a look at the columns with the floral design of their capitals. This is also true for the temple of Edfu. The impression, however, that the temple was imagined to be an image of the world is not only gained by the outer appearance of the building and its decoration, which strike the eye and cannot be unnoticed. There are several other elements of the temple's architecture and decoration which don't catch the visitor's eye immediately because they need some previous knowledge and some elucidation. This concerns the texts in particular. About the Speaker: Dr. Dieter Kurth, Prof-Dr Emeritus of Hamburg Univ, is the director of the Edfu Project, which he founded in 1985 with the aim of translating all the hieroglyphic inscriptions in the Temple of Edfu. From 1981 to 1982 he was a professor of Egyptology in Heidelberg, acting for Prof Jan Assmann, and from 1982 until his retirement in 2007 he was professor of Egyptology at the University of Hamburg. He studied pedagogics in Bonn from 1962 until 1965. Afterwards, until 1967, he worked as a teacher at a primary school and a secondary school in Cologne, finally teaching technical English at a vocational school. From 1968 until 1975 he studied Egyptology (main subject), Classical Archaeology, Ancient Oriental Languages and Prehistory at the University of Cologne. After the promotion (PhD) he habilitated in the 1980s (venia legendi in Egyptology). In the years 2000 and 2004/5 he taught Egyptology as a visiting professor at the Egyptian Universities of Cairo (Ain Shams) and Qena (New Valley).   About ARCE-NC: For more information, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/, http://www.arce-nc.org,  https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings, and https://khentiamentiu.org.
