JAMES HENRY BREASTED REVISITED
|
|
Purchased in Luxor in 1862 by his name-sake, The Edwin Smith Papyrus is a medical didactic text first translated in 1930 by James Henry Breasted. In this updated translation, by Gonzalo M. Sanchez and Edmund S. Meltzer, the authors provide a new linguistic and medical evaluation of the original hieratic text
credited as the basis of modern objective clinical thinking and the foundation of modern medicine, more than a 1000 years before Hippocrates.

The telephone call came out of the blue. The ARCE San Antonio office wanted to know if I would be interested in talking with someone about ancient Egyptian chariots. "Of course," I replied. I e-mailed the contact, and thus began a wonderful collaboration with Martin O'Collins, the director of TV6, a production company that films educational television programs, among them, NOVA. TV6 wanted to build and drive ancient Egyptian chariots. Was I interested? You bet.

The History of Egyptology (Episode 3)
 | | The modern discipline of Egyptology began in the late 1800s in Europe as many sciences were professionalized |
People have been fascinated by ancient Egypt for thousands of years. This interest has taken many different forms and cast ancient Egypt 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 third episode continues the story of western interest in Egypt through the Enlightenment, and into the modern era chronicling Napoleon Bonaparte's shocking invasion of the Land of the Nile, the early nineteenth-century's rush of European explorers, the scramble for antiquities, and the gradual professionalization of Egyptology.

Confident, Organized, and Valued: Registrars Tell Their Tale in Scotland
 | Ms. Doha Fathy, Deputy Head of Registrars, shares experiences from five years of dedication and hard work
|
When I attended the International Registrars Conference in Chicago in 2007, along with Dr. Janice Kamrin, Egyptian Museum Registrar Training Project Director; Rachel Mauldin, Principal Consultant; and the other newly selected registrars from the Egyptian Museum, it was my first international conference. Little did I imagine that just five years later, I would in turn represent the Registration, Collections Management & Documentation (RCMDD) department at the 7th European Registrars Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland.
