 Les "Magasins nord" de Thoutmosis III sont un ensemble de huit salles accessibles par le couloir perimetral de l''enceinte en gres du temple d''Amon-Re a Karnak. Baties par Thoutmosis III pendant son regne autonome apres la disparition de la reine Hatchepsout, ces salles forment un complexe a l''acces restreint qui a subi plusieurs transformations architecturales dont les plus remarquables sont la modification de son acces ouest au cours du regne meme de Thoutmosis III et la decoration d''une des salles du complexe par Ptolemee XI Soter II pres de quatorze siecles apres sa construction. Cet ensemble entretient des liens etroits avec les autres structures du regne de Thoutmosis III dont l''Akh-menou, nouveau cur cultuel du temple d''Amon-Re, mais aussi avec les zones d''acces et le centre du temple de Karnak.

Costumes Of Egypt - The Lost Legacies, I

by Shahira Mehrez

100,70€ + 10% CARD

 Costumes of Egypt: The Lost Legacies sums up decades of Shahira Mehrez''s research: it is a four-volume work recording and tracing the origin of hitherto undocumented ways of dressing and jewelry of Egyptian women, most of which have today become obsolete. The costumes surveyed in this first volume establish the fact that irrespective of distant geographic locations, beyond religious and ethnic diversity, and throughout thousands of years of history and successive civilizations, Nubians, Nile Valley peasants, Bedouins and oasis dwellers, both Christian and Muslim, were heirs to the same legacy. Old and new emblems were melted into one tradition, defining a multifaceted but harmonious Egyptian identity. This tradition provides undeniable and tangible proof of the unity of the country and bears witness to the fact that throughout history these various communities were the different parts of a multicultural and pluralistic nation.

Kiosk Of Taharqa - Volume Ii The Ptolemaic Decoration

by Martina Minas-Nerpel

58,30€ + 10% CARD

 From the reign of Ptolemy IV Philopator (221-204 BC), an extensive building and decoration programme is attested throughout Egypt, with a specific emphasis on the cult of Osiris and the child gods. The royal legitimation, in which Horus of Edfu and Amun of Thebes played a major role, was a further focal point. With the Theban revolt (206-186 BC), the royal support of the Egyptian temples stopped abruptly and was only resumed under Ptolemy VI Philometor. In the temple of Amun-Ra at Karnak, the Kiosk of Taharqa was a key contribution of the Kushite period (746-655 BC). Under Ptolemy IV, a major restoration campaign took place in the First Courtyard: the gate of the Second Pylon was rebuilt and the Kiosk substantially renovated. Its intercolumnar walls were remodelled and carved with ritual scenes of royal legitimation. The soubassement was decorated with a procession of nomes, received by the goddess Waset, and the column shafts and abaci were engraved with the royal names. In this book, the Kiosk''s Ptolemaic texts and iconographic decoration are presented and analysed. A global study of Philopator''s architectural activities places the Kiosk in the larger context of Karnak and beyond. In addition, a palaeographic study of the hieroglyphic texts is published.

La Cour Du Xe Pylone A Karnak - Les Fouilles De Michel Azim De 1975 A 1977

~~45,05€~~ 40,55€ 10% OFF

 In the mid-1970s, Michel Azim, architect at the Franco-Egyptian Center for the Study of the Temples of Karnak, undertook the first large-scale archaeological investigation in the courtyard of the 10th pylon since the work of Georges Legrain at the beginning of the 20th century. Despite its importance, however, this operation has remained largely unpublished and the results of the work carried out have been the subject of only a few preliminary reports and notes. The present book concludes an ambitious program of inventorying the documentation of these excavations stored in several French and Egyptian institutions. All the results of the research carried out from 1975 to 1977 are re-examined here in the light of a stratigraphic evaluation test-pit undertaken in 2015-the archaeological material from which is analyzed by a dozen specialists. Although the sequence of constructions and occupations of the 10th pylon courtyard remains very close to the one initially established by the excavator, the recent analyses make it possible to more precisely calibrate the chronology of the site, and will thus prove essential for the study of Ancient Thebes.

by Malte Romer

132,50€ + 10% CARD

 This publication contains a large part of the ostraca that were created during the construction work on the temples of the early 18th Dynasty at Deir el-Bahri. To this day, more than a century after their discovery, these ostraca (over 700) have remained largely unpublished. Most of the texts deal with the organization of the construction work. Some ostraca refer to the offering ritual in the temples. Finally, there are exercises by aspiring scribes who practiced by copying classical literary works. Vol. I: Catalogue with translation and commentary. Vol. II: Analysis of the texts; lists of personal names, titles, words, toponyms, names of kings and gods, and a paleography. Vol. III: Facsimiles and hieroglyphic transcriptions. The photos, facsimiles and hieroglyphic transcriptions, together with a complete paleography, are available online in a PDF file.

Dechiffrements / Decipherments

46,38€ + 10% CARD

 In 1822 Jean-Francois Champollion deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs and opened the door to a new discipline - egyptology. If Champollion''s achievement still captures the imagination today, it is perhaps because he is the most emblematic of all those who might be called "the decipherers". However, he is not the only person who has managed to decipher a forgotten script; many have tried to pierce the mysteries of writing systems handed down by ancient cultures, but only a handful have been successful in their research. But how does one tackle a script about which all has been forgotten, when one does not know the system being used, not even the language transcribed? From Jean-Jacques Barthelemy to Michael Ventris via Jean-Francois Champollion, this book revisits the most significant of the decipherers as well as the methods used to reveal the inner workings of forgotten writing. The authors also look at current studies and the advances made in understanding Mayan, Meroitic and Linear Elamite. Additionally, they address the difficulties posed by certain scripts that have not yet been deciphered or those whose language is today unknown.

De La Cacophonie A La Musique - La Perception Du Son Dans Les Societes Antiques

92,75€ + 10% CARD

 Did the men and women of antiquity hear as we do? Which sonorities were particularly significant to them? These simple questions remind us that sounds as well as their possible interpretations are embedded in cultural constructions, so that the definitions of cacophony and music, of noise and silence, vary both over time and from one context to another. The historicity of such ideas is at the heart of this book, which explores the ways in which sounds or their absence became meaningful in the ancient Eastern, Egyptian, Greek and Roman worlds. Behind the sweeping chronological arc lies a common objective, the study of terms and expressions related to sounds. This book analyzes this verbal corpus with an historical approach influenced by the anthropology of sound. The papers collected here invite the reader to listen carefully to ancient words and, by focusing on ancient discourses, grasp the complexity of social, political and religious values carried by sounds in particular settings.
Proceedings Of The First International Conference On The Science Of Ancient Egyptian Materials And Technologies

82,15€ + 10% CARD

 The first Science for Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technologies conference was held under the auspices of His Excellency Pr. Khaled el-Enany at the Manial Palace Museum in Cairo, from 4 to 6 November 2017. Its aim was to provide a venue at which specialists in the application of physical and chemical sciences to archaeology could meet, present their research and exchange ideas. Above all, it was intended to highlight the importance of archaeological sciences and interdisciplinary approaches within Egyptology. This volume brings together papers on high-level studies relevant to all fields of archaeometry, carried out both on museum objects and at excavation sites. It provides a general overview of the impressive possibilities that this science offers to various fields, and opens the way for a radical improvement of its application in archaeological research in Egypt.
