interest in Egyptology might enjoy the following course,
offered to the public through the Stanford Continuing
Studies program, on the Stanford University campus. I have
taken instruction from Joe before, and enthusiastically
recommend this. For those of you NOT living in the San
Francisco Bay Area, my apologies, but I have few other means
to get the word out.
Note that enrollment for the class begins Feb. 23, and

>The Rosetta Stone, King Tut, & the Story of Egyptology (ARC 112)
>
>The civilization of Ancient Egypt has been an object of
>fascination throughout history, but the first systematic European
>exploration of Egypt began in the late 18th century by a small
>team of French scholars who accompanied Napoleon's military
>expedition through the Nile Valley. In this course we will
>explore the history of the European exploration of Egypt, from
>those early scholars, to the 19th-century expeditions that took
>place against a backdrop of collecting (and looting), to the
>deciphering of the Rosetta Stone and the foundation of modern
>Egyptology. This is a story filled with great discovery that has
>never ceased to fuel the popular imagination--the first great
>"media event" in the history of Egyptology was Howard Carter's
>discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. But it is also a
>story of intrigue, betrayal, unforgettable personalities, and
>competing national claims. We will meet some of the great
>personalities, read their journals, visit ancient sites, and
>explore other aspects of this most fascinating of subjects.

Research Center in Egypt, to determine whether there are other Egyptology
interest groups in the San Francisco Bay Area with whom we have not made
contanct, at colleges and elsewhere. We are doing this in the hope of exchanging
information on our activities and yours, sending your our monthly newsletter and
other announcements, and perhaps even jointly arranging to bring in Egyptology
lecturers.
If you belong to or know of any such group, no matter how informal, I would
appreciate any group contact information you are willing to send, to
gl...@glennmeyer.net. This information will be forwarded to Northern California
ARCE chapter officers, and no one else.
And my apologies to all of you on these lists who are NOT in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Unfortunately the Bay Area does NOT have an Egyptology discussion
group of it's own, that I know of, so I am imposing on these international lists
and disucssions groups to try to comunicate with other Egyptology interest
groups in the Bay Area. I hope you will excuse me.

UP THE NILE IN STYLE
Travel in Egypt in the Early 20th Century
A Retelling of L. Frank Baum's 1906 Journey Up the Nile
by
David Moyer
KMT Magazine, Independent Scholar
Date: Sunday, March 28, 2004
Time: 2:30 p.m.
Place: 370 Dwinelle Hall
UC Berkeley Campus
A donation of $5 per person ($3 per
student) is requested to offset the
cost of the lecture.
Summary
In 1906 L. Frank Baum, author of _The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz_, and his wife took the "Grand Tour"
of Egypt, following an itinerary nearly identical
to tours in Egypt today. One of Baum's hobbies was
photography, he therefore recorded the trip with
many photos. David Moyer has converted these
photos to slides, and will juxtapose them with his
own photos, taken 90 years later, of the same
sites. The contrast between how the ancient
monuments looked in 1906 and how they appear today
will make for a striking visual
presentation. Included in the presentation will be
Maud Baum's remarks drawn from her letters home,
on the Baums' experiences and impressions of their
trips.
David Moyer graduated from the City University of
New York, where he received the Rhys Carpenter
award in Archaeology. He teaches ancient history
at C.W. Post College (Long Island University), and
lectures at Marymount Manhattan College. Since
1994 he has been Special Correspondent for
the magazine KMT: A Modern Journal of Ancient
Egypt. His early training in the theater gives a
special flair to his lectures and presentations.

Al-Mumia/"The Night of Counting the Years," based on
the story around the discovery of a cache of Pharaonic
mummies in the later 1800s, a find probably more
significant than the discovery of King Tut's tomb.
(http://film.society.tripod.com/nzffs/abd-night-of-counting-the-years.htm).
The film must have English subtitles, preferably on

Magicians, Monks, and Martyrs: Byzantine and Roman Egypt
X130.2 (2 semester units in Anthropology)
Egypt in the Roman and Byzantine periods (30 B.C.-A.D. 642)
presents myriad fascinating faces. To the reader of popular
literature in the early imperial period, it was the exotic
land of sorcerers and brigands; to the Roman government, it
was the breadbasket to the Mediterranean; to the first
Christian pilgrims, it was the land of wilderness
monasteries and the gateway to Sinai. To the modern
historian, this period is the source of a wealth of
documents in Egyptian, Greek, and Coptic, preserved by the
desert climate.
This course examines the history and culture of Roman and
Byzantine Egypt from the perspective of modern archaeology,
but also from the texts that describe the richness of
everyday life. You view the arrival of the India
fleet--laden with peppers, silks, and gems--on the Red Sea
coast, visit the colossus of Memnon in the company of the
Emperor Hadrian, spend a day with the brethren at the
monastery of Apap Pachomius, and get to know merchants,
farmers, soldiers, and entertainers. Particular attention is
paid to the development of Christianity in Egypt and the
complex relationships between religions.
TERRY MOORE earned a Ph.D. in Egyptology from UC Berkeley
and teaches UC Berkeley Extension courses in ancient
Egyptian history, language, and culture, along with
additional topics related to the ancient Near East. She has
taught ancient Egyptian language at UC Berkeley and received
fellowships for research in Egypt.

Karl Rove's White House " Murder, Inc."
By Wayne Madsen
Online Journal Contributing Writer
JUNE, 2004- On September 15, 2001, just four days after the 9-11 attacks,
CIA Director George Tenet provided President [sic] Bush with a Top Secret
"Worldwide Attack Matrix"-a virtual license to kill targets deemed to be a
threat to the United States in some 80 countries around the world. The Tenet
plan, which was subsequently approved by Bush, essentially reversed the
executive orders of four previous U.S. administrations that expressly
prohibited political assassinations.
According to high level European intelligence officials, Bush's counselor,
Karl Rove, used the new presidential authority to silence a popular Lebanese
Christian politician who was planning to offer irrefutable evidence that
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon authorized the massacre of hundreds of
Palestinian men, women, and children in the Beirut refugee camps of Sabra
and Shatilla in 1982. In addition, Sharon provided the Lebanese forces who
carried out the grisly task. At the time of the massacres, Elie Hobeika was
intelligence chief of Lebanese Christian forces in Lebanon who were battling
Palestinians and other Muslim groups in a bloody civil war. He was also the
chief liaison to Israeli Defense Force (IDF) personnel in Lebanon. An
official Israeli inquiry into the massacre at the camps, the Kahan
Commission, merely found Sharon "indirectly" responsible for the slaughter
and fingered Hobeika as the chief instigator.
The Kahan Commission never called on Hobeika to offer testimony in his
defense. However, in response to charges brought against Sharon before a
special war crimes court in Belgium, Hobeika was urged to testify against
Sharon, according to well-informed Lebanese sources. Hobeika was prepared to
offer a different version of events than what was contained in the Kahan
report. A 1993 Belgian law permitting human rights prosecutions was unusual
in that non-Belgians could be tried for violations against other
non-Belgians in a Belgian court. Under pressure from the Bush
administration, the law was severely amended and the extra territoriality
provisions were curtailed.
Hobeika headed the Lebanese forces intelligence agency since the mid- 1970s
and he soon developed close ties to the CIA. He was a frequent visitor to
the CIA's headquarters at Langley, Virginia. After the Syrian invasion of
Lebanon in 1990, Hobeika held a number of cabinet positions in the Lebanese
government, a proxy for the Syrian occupation authorities. He also served in
the parliament. In July 2001, Hobeika called a press conference and
announced he was prepared to testify against Sharon in Belgium and revealed
that he had evidence of what actually occurred in Sabra and Shatilla.
Hobeika also indicated that Israel had flown members of the South Lebanon
Army (SLA) into Beirut International Airport in an Israeli Air Force C130
transport plane. In full view of dozens of witnesses, including members of
the Lebanese army and others, SLA troops under the command of Major Saad
Haddad were slipped into the camps to commit the massacres. The SLA troops
were under the direct command of Ariel Sharon and an Israeli Mossad agent
provocateur named Rafi Eitan. Hobeika offered evidence that a former U.S.
ambassador to Lebanon was aware of the Israeli plot. In addition, the IDF
had placed a camera in a strategic position to film the Sabra and Shatilla
massacres. Hobeika was going to ask that the footage be released as part of
the investigation of Sharon.
After announcing he was willing to testify against Sharon, Hobeika became
fearful for his safety and began moves to leave Lebanon. Hobeika was not
aware that his threats to testify against Sharon had triggered a series of
fateful events that reached well into the White House and Sharon's office.
On January 24, 2002, Hobeika's car was blown up by a remote controlled bomb
placed in a parked Mercedes along a street in the Hazmieh section of Beirut.
The bomb exploded when Hobeika and his three associates, Fares Souweidan,
Mitri Ajram, and Waleed Zein, were driving their Range Rover past the
TNT-laden Mercedes at 9:40 am Beirut time. The Range Rover's four passengers
were killed in the explosion. In case Hobeika's car had taken another route
through the neighborhood, two additional parked cars, located at two other
choke points, were also rigged with TNT. The powerful bomb wounded a number
of other people on the street. Other parked cars were destroyed and
buildings and homes were damaged. The Lebanese president, prime minister,
and interior minister all claimed that Israeli agents were behind the
attack.
It is noteworthy that the State Department's list of global terrorist
incidents for 2002 worldwide failed to list the car bombing attack on
Hobeika and his party. The White House wanted to ensure the attack was
censored from the report. The reason was simple: the attack ultimately had
Washington's fingerprints on it.
High level European intelligence sources now report that Karl Rove
personally coordinated Hobeika's assassination. The hit on Hobeika employed
Syrian intelligence agents. Syrian President Bashar Assad was trying to
curry favor with the Bush administration in the aftermath of 9-11 and was
more than willing to help the White House. In addition, Assad's father,
Hafez Assad, had been an ally of Bush's father during Desert Storm, a period
that saw Washington give a "wink and a nod" to Syria's occupation of
Lebanon. Rove wanted to help Sharon avoid any political embarrassment from
an in absentia trial in Brussels where Hobeika would be a star witness. Rove
and Sharon agreed on the plan to use Syrian Military Intelligence agents to
assassinate Hobeika. Rove saw Sharon as an indispensable ally of Bush in
ensuring the loyalty of the Christian evangelical and Jewish voting blocs in
the United States. Sharon saw the plan to have the United States coordinate
the hit as a way to mask all connections to Jerusalem.
The Syrian hit team was ordered by Assef Shawkat, the number two man in
Syrian military intelligence and a good friend and brother in law of Syrian
President Bashar Assad. Assad's intelligence services had already cooperated
with U.S. intelligence in resorting to unconventional methods to extract
information from al Qaeda detainees deported to Syria from the United States
and other countries in the wake of 9-11. The order to take out Hobeika was
transmitted by Shawkat to Roustom Ghazali, the head of Syrian military
intelligence in Beirut. Ghazali arranged for the three remote controlled
cars to be parked along Hobeika's route in Hazmieh; only few hundred yards
from the Barracks of Syrian Special Forces which are stationed in the area
near the Presidential palace , the ministry of Defense and various
Government and officers quarters . This particular area is covered 24/7 by a
very sophisticated USA multi-agency surveillance system to monitor Syrian
and Lebanese security activities and is a " Choice " area to live in for its
perceived high security .
The plan to kill Hobeika had all the necessary caveats and built-in denial
mechanisms. If the Syrians were discovered beforehand or afterwards, Karl
Rove and his associates in the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans would be
ensured plausible deniability.
Hobeika's CIA intermediary in Beirut, a man only referred to as "Jason" by
Hobeika, was a frequent companion of the Lebanese politician during official
and off-duty hours. During Hobeika's election campaigns for his
parliamentary seat, Jason was often in Hobeika's office offering support and
advice. After Hobeika's assassination, Jason became despondent over the
death of his colleague. Eventually, Jason disappeared abruptly from Lebanon
and reportedly later emerged in Pakistan.
Karl Rove's involvement in the assassination of Hobeika may not have been
the last "hit" he ordered to help out Sharon. In March 2002, a few months
after Hobeika's assassination, another Lebanese Christian with knowledge of
Sharon's involvement in the Sabra and Shatilla massacres was gunned down
along with his wife in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A bullet fired at Michael Nassar's
car flattened one of his tires. Nassar pulled into a gasoline station for
repairs. A professional assassin, firing a gun with a silencer, shot Nassar
and his wife in the head, killing them both instantly. The assailant fled
and was never captured. Nassar was also involved with the Phalange militia
at Sabra and Shatilla. Nassar was also reportedly willing to testify against
Sharon in Belgium and, as a nephew of SLA Commander General Antoine Lahd,
may have had important evidence to bolster Hobeika's charge that Sharon
ordered SLA forces into the camps to wipe out the Palestinians.
Based on what European intelligence claims is concrete intelligence on
Rove's involvement in the assassination of Hobeika, the Bush administration
can now add political assassination to its laundry list of other misdeeds,
from lying about the reasons to go to war to the torture tactics in
violation of the Geneva Conventions that have been employed by the Pentagon
and "third country" nationals at prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.

The American Research Center in Egypt (Northwest) is pleased to announce
the upcoming presentation.
Event: Brian Hunt to speak on Lucie Duff Gordon in Egypt
When: Thursday, September 2, 2004, 6:30pm
Where: Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
Admission: FREE.
About the presentation
She was a contemporary and friend of Dickens, Carlyle, Tennyson,
Thackeray, and all the intellectual luminaries of her day. She was known
as one of London's most charming hostesses. From life at the center of
mid-19th century English high society, Lucie Duff Gordon was exiled by bad
health to Egypt, a land so foreign that most Europeans were glad to go
home after a quick dash up the Nile. Instead, Lucie found a new life as
the queen of Upper Egypt, much loved by the fellahin whose language,
customs, and religion she learned and admired over her seven years there.
Her Letters From Egypt became a best seller and brought her fame (for
which she had little use). Come learn more about the life of this
remarkable Victorian.
About the speaker
Brian Hunt is a local writer with a long-standing interest in both ancient
and modern Egypt. He has served on a number of archaeological excavations,
most recently with Mark Lehner on the Gizeh Plateau, and is currently

When: November 4, 6:30 PM
Who: Dr. Stephen Garfinkle, Western Washington University
"Egypt and Mesopotamia in the Fourteenth Century BC: Ancient
Diplomacy in an International Era."
Where: At the Burke Museum, University of Washington
Admission: FREE
About the presentation
In 1887 AD, Bedouins discovered a cache of clay tablets at
el-Amarna on the eastern bank of the Nile, about 190 miles
south of Cairo. The tablets became known as the Amarna
letters, and they constitute part of the royal diplomatic
correspondence of the Egyptian pharaohs. The discovery of
the Amarna tablets opened a window into the foreign affairs
of the Egyptian empire in the Fourteenth Century BC, and
cast a spotlight on international relations 3,500 years
ago. The texts themselves were written primarily in
Akkadian, which was the language of Babylonia, and is one of
the oldest written languages in the world. This presentation
will use the text of the letters, along with images from
archaeological excavations, to explore the diplomatic,
dynastic, and commercial connections between Egypt and
Mesopotamia during the late Bronze Age.
About the speaker
Dr. Steven Garfinkle is Assistant Professor of History at
Western Washington University, where he teaches a full range
of courses on the Ancient Near East. He received his PhD in
Ancient Near Eastern Studies from Columbia University. His
current research focuses on the society and economy of
Mesopotamia in the Third and Second Millennia BC., and he
has published several articles on Mesopotamian society and
economy. He has just completed work on an edition of the Ur
III Tablets from the Columbia University Library (with
H. Sauren and M. Van De Mieroop), and he is revising a
study of entrepreneurs at the end of the Third Millennium
BC.

NEW DISCOVERIES AT MENDES IN THE NILE DELTA
Date: January 15, 2005
Time: 2:00 pm
Where: Seattle Art Museum, Downtown
Admission: Free for AESA and SAM members, $5 all others
Professor Redford has been excavating at Mendes for 13
years, and a flood of new light has been cast on many
periods of Egypt's history. The city is one of the oldest
and longest-lived of any in Egypt: its foundation dates to
prehistoric times (4th or 5th millennium B.C.), and it
remained a thriving town into the Middle Ages. Key
discoveries include: examples of early writing found in
houses of 3000 B.C., dramatic evidence of a massacre and a
conflagration 2200 B.C., shrine of the fish-goddess and the
burying ground of the sacred rams, violent destruction by
the Persians 343 B.C., crucifixions of the late first
century B.C.
Professor Redford was professor of Near Eastern Studies at
the Univ. of Toronto. On retirement from that position, he
moved to Penn State Univ., and still continues his
excavations in the Nile delta. He has published numerous
books, the latest on Mendes coming out shortly, and has
prepared a film on his Akhenaten temple project.

Subject: ARCE/NW event: Egyptologist to speak at UW
For immediate release please:
The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter is pleased to
announce the following event.
When: February 3, 6:30 PM
Who: Jacqueline Jay, University of Chicago
Title: "He Knew My Character: Glimpses of Personality in Ancient Egyptian
Literary Tales."
Where: At the Burke Museum, University of Washington
Admission: FREE
In the Egyptian Tale of Sinuhe, the Asiatic ruler Amunenshi assures the
fugitive Sinuhe, saying, You will be happy with me. According to Sinuhe,
He said this because he knew my character. The ancient Egyptians were
obviously well aware of one another's individual character traits; indeed,
the Late Period Instruction of Onchsheshonqy counsels that A man's
character is on his face. Through actions and speech, ancient Egyptian
literary protagonists display facets of their personalities, both good and
bad. Sinuhe, the Shipwrecked Sailor, and Setne, among others--all are
three-dimensional, flawed individuals. By examining the very different
personality traits exhibited by the characters of Egyptian literature, we
may gain a better understanding of how the ancient Egyptians perceived and
portrayed themselves.
Jackie Jay is completing her PhD dissertation in Egyptology at the
University of Chicago. She is on the staff of the Chicago Demotic
Dictionary project at the University of Chicago, and spent the past summer
at Berkeley working with unpublished Demotic texts.

>About the presentation:
>This presentation aims to examine how sexuality and gender is constructed
>in representations of women in New Kingdom Egyptian art, and to explore
>what this tells us about how men and women were perceived as relating to
>each other within society. Before drawing any conclusions, one must be
>aware of problems inherent in the material. What is shown in the visual
>material is an idealized system that reflects the views of the elite male
>ruling group for whom the art was produced. This elite system was
>presumably grounded in actual social structure but, as texts show, the
>lived realities of that structure were far messier than the elite ideal.
>Thus what Dr. Robins will explore is an elite construct relating to
>reality but not reality. In examining this elite system, she shall analyze
>differences between the ways in which male and female elite figures are
>represented, for instance, with regard to skin color, pose, costume, items
>carried, and location within scenes, in order to show how male and female
>identity and sexuality are constructed in opposition to one another. She
>shall also examine how images of elite figures compare to those of the
>non-elite and whether status affects the construction of sexuality and
>gender. She shall suggest ways how we can use the visual evidence to draw
>conclusions about positive and negative aspects of the position of elite
>women within New Kingdom Egyptian society.

by
Dr. Rita Freed
Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Date: Sunday, May 15, 2005
Time: 2:30 p.m.
Place: 370 Dwinelle Hall
Glenn Meyer
The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter (ARCE/NW) is
Who: Dr. Rita Freed, Boston Museum of Fine Arts
What: "Fakes and Flops in Sculpture of the Pyramid Age"
When: May 12 (Thursday), 6:30 PM
Where: Sieg Hall 134, University of Washington Capus
Admission: FREE
About the presentation:
Those of us who are frequent museum visitors are exposed to the best of
the best, particularly in institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston. Accordingly we have a tendency to think, especially with regard
to ancient art, that every sculptor was a master. Anything that is not
beautiful or falls outside the way we think ancient art should look, we
tend to condemn as a forgery.
At the MFA, because it excavated its Egyptian collection, it is
privileged to have not only the masterpieces we display, but also many
other things. In this brief presentation, I will show sculptures that
nearly everybody, dealers included, would assume were not ancient had we
not excavated them!
On the other hand, we tend to assume that the manufacture of forgeries is
a recent occupation. That is also untrue, as one of the earliest Egyptian
antiquities to arrive on Boston's shore will demonstrate.
About the speaker:
Dr. Rita E. Freed, Norma-Jean Calderwood Curator of Ancient Egyptian,
Nubian, and Near Eastern Art and Joint Head of the Department of Art of
the Ancient World at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), is an
international authority on Egyptian art. Freed was appointed Curator of
Egyptian, Nubian and Near Eastern Art at the MFA in 1989, a position
endowed by Norma-Jean and Stanford Calderwood in 1997. Since 1990, she
has also served as Adjunct Professor of Art at Wellesley College.
Most recently, Freed has organized the international traveling exhibition
Pharaohs of the Sun: Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen (premiering at
the MFA from November 14, 1999 through February 6, 2000) which is among
the largest and most important examinations of Egypt's Amarna Period.
Freed also oversees one of the most impressive collections of Egyptian
art outside of Cairo, and in August 1998, she reinstalled two
award-winning galleries at the MFA, the Egyptian Funerary Arts and Art of
the Ancient Near East. These galleries, which house nearly 700 objects,
allow visitors to step into the mystical and ancient worlds of Egypt and
Babylon in beautifully designed, state-of-the-art exhibition spaces.
>From 1985 to 1987, Freed curated Ramses the Great, an exhibition that
traveled from the Cairo Museum, and served as a consultant at each of the
exhibition's three venues Museum of Science (Boston, MA), the Mint Museum
(Charlotte, NC), and the Dallas Museum of Natural History. In 1983, Freed
curated A Divine Tour of Ancient Egypt at the University Gallery at the
University of Memphis, where she was an associate professor and served as
the founding director of the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology.
Freed has led numerous Egyptian archaeological excavations. In 1990 and
1992, Freed was Co-Project Director for the Boston-Penn Expeditions in
Bersheh and Saqqara respectively. She worked as an epigrapher in Giza in
1989, and was the small finds registrar in Mitrahineh in 1985 and 1988.
In 1977, Freed was the field archaeologist and expedition photographer at
the Mendes Excavations in the Eastern Delta. Freed first participated in
excavations in 1973 with the Idalion excavations in Cyprus and Tel Qasile
Philistine temple in Israel.
Freed has published numerous articles, dissertations and catalogues. Most
recently, she wrote the introduction for the exhibition catalogue,
Pharaohs of the Sun: Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen, as well as the
Egyptian sculpture section in the Dictionary of Art (Macmillan, London,
1998). In 1992, she co-authored the MFA's Bersheh Reports I. Freed also
wrote the exhibition catalogues Ramses the Great: An Exhibition in the
City of Memphis (1987), A Divine Tour of Ancient Egypt (1983), and Egypt's
Golden Age: The Art of Living in the New Kingdom (1982).
Freed joined the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) in 1971 as an assistant
to the renowned Curator Emeritus, Dows Dunham. She returned to the MFA,
following college and graduate school, in 1978 as an exhibition assistant
in the Department of Ancient Egyptian, Nubian, and Near Eastern Art.
Freed graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley College, where she is
currently an adjunct professor, and received her Certificate in Museology,
Master of Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy from the Institute of Fine Arts
at New York University.

Major Exhibition Debuts at Opening of New de Young
de Young
15 October 2005-5 February 2006
San Francisco, 27 July 2005--Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh opens in San Francisco as the major inaugural exhibition at the new de Young museum and as the premiere showing of this landmark exhibition, which will be on view in only two additional venues: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth. The fascinating display highlights the art that was created during the glorious reign of the enigmatic and intriguing female pharaoh Hatshepsut, who shared Egypt’s throne for nearly two decades (ca. 1473-1458 BC) in the early New Kingdom as senior co-ruler with her young nephew, Tuthmosis III.
Hatshepsut’s reign was a period of immense artistic creativity. This unprecedented exhibition brings together a vast treasure trove of almost 300 objects that includes royal statuary and relief, monumental sculpture representing members of the royal court, a wide variety of ceremonial objects, finely crafted decorative objects, dazzling gold jewelry, and other exquisite personal items, all of which both tell the compelling story of Hatshepsut’s reign and reveal the diverse and sophisticated artistic production of her time.
Lenders to the Exhibition
The spectacular objects that have been lent for Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh were culled from an august body of international institutions by the exhibition’s organizers, Dr. Renée Dreyfus, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Curator of Ancient Art and Interpretation and Dr. Catharine H. Roehrig of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in consultation with Dr. Cathleen A. Keller of the University of California, Berkeley.
The lending institutions include--in addition to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has lent approximately one-third of the works on view--The British Museum, The National Museums of Scotland, the Louvre, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, The Fitzwilliam Museum, (Cambridge), the Kestner Museum (Hanover), the Field Museum (Chicago), and the Museo Egizio, Torino. In addition, several signal objects have been lent by the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Hatshepsut: Woman of Many Aspects
The phenomenon of a woman ruling a fundamentally patriarchal society while surrounded by male courtiers and advisors, the eventual destruction of Hatshepsut’s monuments by Tuthmosis III, and the omission of her name from later king lists have fueled debate among Egyptologists for over a century. Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh presents the changing interpretations of the woman who, at about the age of 20, claimed the full powers of the throne upon the death of her husband, Tuthmosis II, who was also her half-brother, and gradually assumed the title of “King” and the trappings of kingship in addition to the queenly titles that she already held.
Under an unusual line of succession, she and Tuthmosis III, who was the son of Hatshepsut’s husband, but by a lesser queen, effectively shared the throne of Egypt as two kings for a period of almost 20 years. Hatshepsut’s metamorphosis from a queen into a king took place gradually and appears to have gone through a series of exploratory phases. Her monuments depict her both as a woman and as a man, in king’s regalia, including a strapped-on false beard. As Egypt’s two Horuses, Hatshepsut and Tuthmosis III, 13 years her junior, frequently appeared together on monuments as “twin” male rulers distinguished only by the position of their cartouches--with Hatshepsut usually taking precedence--or occasionally by their regalia.
Although her reign defied long-established convention, it was accepted by her people and Egypt flourished, as seen through the superb and innovative art and architecture of her prosperous and largely peaceful rule. About 20 years after Hatshepsut’s death, however, her name and her image were systematically obliterated, her kingly monuments were destroyed, and she was forgotten.
Highlights of the Exhibition
The exhibition is rich in standout objects ranging in scale from monumental sculptures to delicate gold jewelry and finely detailed scarabs, seals and figurines. Colossal sculptures in the main hall of the exhibition reveal the majesty of Hatshepsut as king. These include one of the six extant massive granite sphinxes depicting Hatshepsut as a lion, a colossal kneeling figure of Hatshepsut holding small offering jars, and an enormous striding figure of her. There are also smaller stone figures of Hatshepsut as well as three large painted limestone reliefs from her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, which depict marching soldiers. In addition, there are a number of stone figures of Senemut, one of the most eminent and influential officials of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Also of particular interest is the granite False-Door Stela of Tuthmosis I, an object that was the ritual focus of his offering cult. A gallery devoted to Tuthmosis III when he assumed sole reign after Hatshepsut’s death displays sculpture that attests to the greatness he achieved during his long reign, such as a powerful, majestic nearly life-size standing figure carved in greywacke. Among the many surviving statues of this king, the one on view in the exhibition best conveys the impression of a personal likeness.
Other stone objects of a smaller scale include varying sizes of luminous, alabaster vessels and unguent jars. Some of them are beautifully inscribed, others have gold-rimmed bases and lids, and many of them still retain traces of their original contents.
There are a number of remarkably well-preserved wooden decorative arts and personal objects in the exhibition. Highlights of these pieces include a royal wooden bed inlaid with cobras of sheet gold, a wood and ivory--which was as highly prized as gold--chair, and small wooden boxes and a gaming board of wood and ivory, as well as a wood and silver staff. Among the leather objects are a painting of a woman playing a harp while a man enthusiastically dances,
A wide array of personal items reflects the taste, luxury, and craftsmanship of the times, such as a pair sandals made of gold, whose design is startlingly contemporary. There is an abundance of dazzling gold, silver, lapis, carnelian, cloisonné, and faience and semi-precious stone jewelry in the exhibition. A particularly magnificent necklace, the Horus Collar, is a hammered sheet of gold decorated with a falcon-headed clasp. A glimpse of daily life as led by royalty in the Eighteenth Dynasty is provided by intimate items such as cosmetic boxes and spoons, bronze mirrors, tweezers and a razor, a wood, ivory, and copper kohl tube, wooden hairpins, and gold finger and toe stalls, which were used for funerary trappings.
Finally, other objects bespeak of everyday life of the Eighteenth Dynasty. These include such items as colorful faience bowls, delightful figure vases, ceremonial weapons, and model tools that were placed as foundation deposits at Deir el-Bahri.
Organization and Credit
The exhibition has been organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities, and by a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency.

Yes. Damn them! Damn them all!
The ONE object I could recommend in Boston's MFA collection
is included in this show -- A sarcophagus originally carved for
Hatshepsut & later re-carved for her father. To further add to it's
historical pedigree, the sarcophagus was originally recovered
by none other than Howard Carter, the man who would later
discover Tutankhamun's tomb!

The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter (ARCE/NW) is pleased
to announce the following presentation.
Kara Cooney, Stanford University
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
Monday, October 24, 2005, 6:30 PM
Seattle Public Library, Downtown Branch (Microsoft Auditorium)
between 4th and 5th Avenues, Madison and Spring Streets,
Downtown. Parking entrance is on Spring Street.
Admission: FREE
About the presentation:
Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, at the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art until November 15th, is the first exhibition to place the
materials found by Howard Carter in 1922 in their historical, religious, and
sociopolitical context. Unlike previous exhibitions of this 'boy-king,' the
material will not be viewed in aesthetic isolation, but will provide the
viewer with a broad contextual understanding of massive political and
religious changes occurring in Egypt in the late 18th Dynasty (late 14th
century BCE). When confronted with such a huge amount of high quality, high
cost burial goods, one of the first questions a viewer may ask is: why was
there such intense and systematic preparation for the burial of the Egyptian
king and elite? To clarify these questions further: does this mass of material
embody socio-political concerns, i.e. as conspicuous consumption? Or might the
intense preparation mirror deep psychological preparation for one's inevitable
death? This lecture will address how Egyptian materialism encapsulates
spirituality.
About the speaker:
Dr. Kathlyn Cooney is co-curator at LACMA for Tutankhamun and the Golden Age
of the Pharaohs. She has taught at Howard, UCLA, and she presently holds a
Humanities fellowship at Stanford University where she teaches in the
Introduction to the Humanities Program. She was involved with the installation
of the Cairo Museum exhibition Quest for Immortality: Treasures of Ancient
Egypt at the National Gallery of Art in 2002. Her field experience includes
three season's excavation in a non-royal tomb in Luxor and one season at the
royal pyramid site of Lisht. She is now revising her dissertation The Value of
Ramesside Funerary Art for publication in 2006 and working on a number of
articles related to her many research interests, including the gender issues
of death in ancient Egypt, craft specialization, funerary arts in the ancient
world, and ancient Egyptian ritual studies. She received her doctorate in
Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University in 2003.
Co-sponsors:
Co-sponsored with the Seattle Public Library, Department of Near Eastern
Languages and Civilization (UW), and the Burke Museum of Natural History and
Culture.

Susan Redford
The Women of the Royal Harim
The women of pharaoh's household lived in secluded quarters of the
palace. They were, in every respect, the property of the king and
their primary function was the king's entertainment. Officially,
the women of the royal harim had no say in the affairs of state,
but on at least three occasions they made an overt attempt to take
matters into their own hands. Who were they? What did they try to
do? And why? An examination of documents and archaeological
monuments may provide some answers and help shed light on these
women who stand in the shadow of history.
Susan Redford is a lecturer at The Pennsylvania State
University. As director of the Akhenaten Temple Project's Theban
Tomb Survey, she has mounted annual expeditions to the Valley of
the Nobles since 1992.
Donald W.Redford
Monotheism: Did It All Start in Egypt?
We owe much in our culture to Ancient Egypt, from the creation of a
civil service, taxation and the earliest calendar down to
monasticism, New-Age-ism and Free Masonry. It has also been claimed
that Akhenaten led the way in devising a new method of looking at
the supernatural which was ancestral to the monotheism we know
today. In light of the incipient clash of monotheistic religions we
are about to experience, let us examine once again the ancient
Egyptian phenomenon of "One Sole God".
Donald W.Redford was professor of Near Eastern Studies at the
Univ. of Toronto. On retirement from that position, he moved to
Penn State Univ., and continues his excavations in the Nile delta.

About This Lecture
"At Abydos in southern Egypt lies one of the largest royal
tombs constructed in ancient Egypt: the subterranean tomb
of Pharaoh Senwosret III of Dynasty 12. This tomb, part of a
mortuary complex named Wah-Sut-Khakaure, is the first
hidden royal tomb in Egyptian history.
Recent excavation in and around the area of the tomb has
provided evidence of the funerary ceremonies and burial of
Senwosret III at Abydos. His hidden tomb lies beneath a
sacred desert peak that was called Anubis-Mountain. In
2005 the tomb $-1òùs interior was opened for the first time since
it was discovered and briefly examined in 1902. Part of a
program of work to completely excavate, and ultimately
restore, this magnificent royal tomb, the 2005 season
provides a first glimpse of a long ignored triumph of Middle
Kingdom architectural engineering.
The tomb of Senwosret III is a hidden royal burial place
which is key to understanding changing ideas of the royal
afterlife, a missing link between Egypt $-1òùs tradition of royal
pyramids and the later hidden tombs of Egypt $-1òùs pharaohs in
the Valley of the Kings."

Where: Seattle Asian Art Museum (Volunteer Park) Stimson Auditorium,
When: Saturday,March 25th, 2006 at 2:00 pm.
About the AESA event:
This richly illustrated lecture begins with the unification of Egypt
possibly under King Narmer of the famous palette, and chronicles the
kings of Dynasties I and II, the "archaic" period. The tombs of these
kings at Abydos were first excavated in the late 19th and early
20th century by Amelineau and Flinders Petrie. These findings, and
the Dynasty I tombs in Saqqara, excavated by Walter Amery will be
discussed as well as the ongoing re-excavations of the tombs and
funerary enclosures at Abydos , which have resulted in exciting
discoveries. Among these is the fleet of wooden ships buried near the
enclosure of King Khasekhemwy, the last king of the Dynasty II .
About the speaker:
David Moyer, graduate of City University of New York, is interested
mainly in ancient cultures of the Near East. In addition to
lecturing in various colleges in New York area, he has served as a

This course offers a unique opportunity to understand the rich
language of an ancient culture. It familiarizes students with the
most common Egyptian hieroglyphic signs and with elementary
grammar. Whenever possible, language exercises relate to Egyptian
history and religion; you are introduced to those royal and
divine names frequently encountered by travelers and museum
visitors, and you study the simple formulae likely to be seen on
funerary objects on exhibit. Each class session includes
discussion and recitation, with review of the exercises for that
week.

To read about the course, see below. Please note that the description on the UCB extension website incorrectly indicates that there will be a field trip to see the Hatshepsut exhibition at the De Young. The exhibition occurred two years ago, when the course was last offered. Apparently someone copied the course description without deleting the mention of the exhibition.

The Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt
X156 (2 semester units in Near Eastern Studies)Hatshepsut, the queen who took the titles of a king, and Tutankhamun, the young man whose burial astonished the world of archaeology, are among the best-known rulers of ancient Egypt. But the Eighteenth Dynasty also included the great warrior and builder Thutmose III, Amenhotep the Magnificent, and Akhenaten, the “heretic.”
This course takes up the art, architecture, history, and literature of the Eighteenth Dynasty, attending to primary sources ranging from military annals to the Book of the Dead, from building dedications to private letters and autobiographies. Special attention is given to the monuments of Thebes and relevant museum collections.
