Item Myths & Legends of Ancient Egypt(Allen Lane, 2010) Tyldesley, JoyceItem Mastabas et hypogées d'Ancien Empire. Le problème de la datation(Connaissance de l'Égypte Ancienne, 1989) Cherpion, NadineL'énorme documentation figurée (reliefs ou peintures) qui couvre les parois des mastabas et des hypogées, de la IIIe à la VIe dynastie, était globalement située dans l'Ancien Empire; toutes les datations proposées jusque là étaient vagues et peu fondées.Nadine Cherpion est parvenue à établir une méthode de datation précise, parfois règne par règne, basée sur l'évolution d'une soixantaine de critères figurés, en dehors de toute subjectivitéItem Ramesses the Great : Egypt's king of kings(Yale University Press, 2023) Wilkinson, TobyRamesses II ruled the Nile Valley and the wider Egyptian empire from 1279 to 1213 B.C., one of the longest reigns in pharaonic history. He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat--the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum. His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in literature as Ozymandias, and lauded by early antiquarians as the Younger Memnon. His rule coincided with the peak of ancient Egypt's power and prosperity, the New Kingdom (1539-1069 B.C.).Item Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the Late Antique Imagination(University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019) Taylor Westerfeld, JenniferEgyptian Hieroglyphs in the Late Antique Imagination argues that, in the absence of any genuine understanding of hieroglyphic writing, late antique Christian authors were able to take this powerful symbol of Egyptian identity and manipulate it to serve their particular theological and ideological endsItem Beyond Egyptomania : objects, style and agency(De Gruyter, 2020) Versluys, M. J.Neue Forschungen zum Nachleben ÄgyptensItem Death, power, and apotheosis in ancient Egypt : the Old and Middle Kingdoms(Cornell University Press, 2021) Troche, JuliaExplores the perceived agency of esteemed dead in ancient Egyptian social, political, and religious life, during the Old through Middle Kingdoms (c. 2700-1650 BCE). It considers how power was constructed, maintained, and challenged in ancient Egypt, through the particular lens of mortuary culture and apotheosis-i.e. deificationItem Der Nil in Aswân : Inschriften und Heiligtümer(De Gruyter, 2022) Johannes Seidlmayer, StephanÄgypten ist das Land des Nils. Bei Aswân durchbricht der Fluss eine Felsbarriere aus Granit und bildet die Stromschnellen des Ersten Katarakts. Hier tritt der Nil in das Siedlungsgebiet Ägyptens ein. Sein jährlicher Flutzyklus - rund 8 m betrug die Differenz zwischen Niedrig- und Hochwasser - hatte enorme praktische Auswirkungen auf Verkehr und Transport in dieser Grenz- und Steinbruchregion, vor allem aber für die Wirtschaft des ganzen Landes. Das Alte Ägypten lokalisierte die Quellen der Nilflut in der spektakulären Felslandschaft des Ersten Katarakts, und in den Nilometern im Gebiet von Aswân wurde der Verlauf des lebensentscheidenen Naturphänomens seit ältester Zeit präzise beobachtet und vermessen. Die Ursachen der Nilflut dachte das Alte Ägypten in religiösen Kategorien. In den Riten und Mythen um die Gottheiten in den Tempeln der Region wurden Theorien der sakralen Kontrolle der Flut formuliert. Den Nil technisch zu kontrollieren, blieb der Neuzeit vorbehalten. Die großen Staudämme bei Aswân stehen für dieses letzte Kapitel in der Geschichte des Stroms. Daher eignet sich der Nil als Leitmotiv, Landschaft, Denkmäler, Bilder und Inschriften der Region von Aswân seit ältester Zeit und bis in die Gegenwart zu betrachtenItem Ottoman Baroque : the architectural refashioning of eighteenth-century Istanbul(Princeton University Press, 2019) Rüstem, ÜnverA new approach to late Ottoman visual culture and its relationship with the WestItem Tree of pearls : the extraordinary architectural patronage of the 13th-century Egyptian slave-Queen Shajar al-Durr(Oxford University Press, New York, NY, 2020) Ruggles, D. FairchildThe woman known as "Tree of Pearls," who ruled Egypt in the summer of 1250 was unusual in every way. A rare case of a woman ruler, her reign marked the shift from Ayyubid to Mamluk rule, and her architectural patronage of two building complexes changed the face of Cairo and had a lasting impact on Islamic architecture. Rising to power from slave origins, Tree of Pearls-her name in Arabic is Shajar al-Durr-used her wealth and power to add a tomb to the urban madrasa (college) that had been built by her husband, Sultan Salih, and with this innovation, madrasas and many other charitably endowed archite++654ctural complexes became commemorative monuments, a practice that remains widespread today. This was the first occasion in Cairo in which a secular patron's relationship to his architectural foundation was reified through the actual presence of his body. The tomb thus profoundly transformed the relationship between architecture and its patron, emphasizing and emblematizing his historical presence. Indeed, the characteristic domed skyline of Cairo that we see today is shaped by such domes that have kept the memory of their named patrons visible to the public eye. This dramatic transformation, in which architecture came to embody human identity, was made possible by the sultan-queen Shajar al-Durr, a woman who began her career as a mere slave-concubine.Her path-breaking patronage contradicts the prevailing assumption among historians of Islam that there was no distinctive female voice in art and architectureItem Enigmatic Writing in the Egyptian New Kingdom. II, A Lexicon of Ancient Egyptian Cryptography of the New Kingdom(De Gruyter, 2020) Aaron Roberson, Joshua; Klotz, DavidThis is the first synthesis on Egyptian enigmatic writing (also referred to as "cryptography") in the New Kingdom (c.1550-1070 BCE). Enigmatic writing is an extended practice of Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, set against immediate decoding and towards revealing additional levels of meaning. This first volume consists of studies by the main specialists in the field. The second volume is a lexicon of all attested enigmatic signs and values
