'YOUR MONUMENT, OUR SHRINE'
|
| The Red Monastery Church: A Roundtable on Preserving and Developing Living Religious Heritage
| The Red Monastery is situated within the expanding urban fabric of Sohag |
Coined by Dr. Webber Ndoro with reference to the preservation of Great Zimbabwe, the title 'Your Monument, Our Shrine' invites us to conceptualize the realm of heritage management, where local, national, international, secular and sacred interests intersect.
As ten years of conservation at the Red Monastery Church in Sohag (funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development) nears completion, the time to discuss questions about the future stewardship, development and preservation of this extraordinary church and important sixth century example of living religious heritage has arrived.

The History of Egyptology (Episode 2)
| European contact with the Near East continued throughout the Crusades and many chronicled their journeys. |
People have been fascinated by ancient Egypt for thousands of years. This interest has taken many different forms, and cast ancient Egypt in many different lights: as one of the oldest civilizations in the world, as a catalyst for Judaism and Christianity, and even as a land of secret knowledge.
This second episode in our series History of Egyptology continues the story of western interest in Egypt from the European Middle Ages through the Enlightenment. This episode touches upon the collapse of the Roman Empire, the spread of Christianity, the Crusades, Egyptian hieroglyphs, pyramids, temples, and, of course, Napoleon; all the while charting a continuing desire to learn more about Egypt.

ARCE fellows and staff at Bab Zuweila during Parliamentary elections 2011

By the time the torrid days of summer begin to fade and Cairenes begin to notice the faintest trace of cool in the early morning air, ARCE is already deep into fellowship preparations on both sides of the Atlantic.
In Egypt, we are expecting the arrival of a new cohort of ARCE fellows. In the U.S., we've just announced the fellowship competition to over 800 college and university departments.
The demands of living in Cairo with roughly 20 million other people coupled with the complex labyrinth of permissions and clearances can baffle even veteran researchers.
