Exalted Spirits: The Veneration of the Dead in Egypt through the Ages
:
The exhibition was opened on the 9th of November, 2021 at The Egyptian Museum in Cairo and was followed by a three-day conference from the 10th to the 12th of November, 2021. This three-day conference, in partnership with The American University in Cairo (AUC) and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (MoTA), covered the veneration of deceased figures in Egypt from the Pharaonic period up to current times, using the diverse evidence available in terms of texts, images, and lived traditions. The conference featured academic papers as well as panel discussions focusing on current practises related to the veneration of the dead and their origins, which may be traced back to ancient Egypt, and was aimed at both academic and non-academic participants. The former presented academic papers, while the latter (which included creatives from different fields) participated in panel discussions. Academic papers published in a peer-reviewed journal

One of the most significant areas of inquiry into ancient Egypt, and until fairly recently one of the most neglected, is the nature of settlement in the Nile Valley and Delta. Although a tremendous amount of information has been acquired about ancient Egyptian society from the study of texts, monumental architecture, and cemeteries, the detailed study of Egyptian cities, towns, and villages has, for much of the history of Egyptian archaeology, not been a major part of scholarly research, with a few exceptions (e.g. Kahun, el-Amarna). Thus a major set of data with which to inform debate on the nature of ancient Egyptian society has remained virtually untapped.

Though this is the flrst notice to readers of the Newsletter, actually since May 1964 the Center has had a share in a project of first importance in the study of Ptolemaic Egypt and its trade relations with contemporary Mediterranean states. This project is the classification, and installation in the museum of Alexandria, of the most notable of all collections of stamped handles. Such handles are fragments of stamped commercial containers made of earthenware, and the stamps on the handles are control stamps, impressed before firing, current chiefly in the great period of the ancient port city of Alexandria, from the latter 4th to the last century B.C., and, within that period, sometimes very closely datable. The containers were largely made for the transport of wine, but certainly re-used in ancient Egypt for every sort of fluid or semi-fluid commodity, as we know from may mention in papyri.

The Treasurer of the Center has just received from Miss Ellen M. Cushman a gift of five hundred dollars, in memory of Louise Kossuth Green, "who loved Egypt and enriched the lives of many people by her successful teaching of ancient history in the Junior High School of Montclair, New Jersey. She visited Egypt in 1909, and her memories of her trip became living pictures to her pupils." It is pleasant to think that some of the Fellows appointed by the Center to work in Egypt may be able to carry on the torch lighted by a gifted teacher half a century ago.
