SUMMARY:Divine Priestesses: The Ptolemaic Queens in the Egyptian and Hellenistic Cults
DESCRIPTION:The Ptolemaic kings and queens were not only venerated as synnaoi theoi (‘temple-sharing gods’) in the Egyptian temples and received various cults of their own (including the Hellenistic and Egyptian ruler cults)\, but they also served as priests and priestesses themselves. In the ancient Egyptian understanding\, the king was per definitionem the high priest. This lecture will focus on the queens serving as priestesses\, both in the Hellenistic and the Egyptian contexts\, and analyse how these two worlds were possibly interlinked and based on existing traditions. \n\n \nLight lunch provided. \nDr. Martina Minas-Nerpel\nSwansea University\, United Kingdom \nEvent Flyer

SUMMARY:Sea Peoples and Neo-Hittites in the ‘Land of Palistin’: Recent Discoveries at Tayinat on the Orontes
DESCRIPTION:Recent archaeological discoveries have begun to challenge the prevailing view of the Early Iron Age (ca. 1200-900 BCE) as an era of cultural devolution and ethnic strife\, or a ‘Dark Age’\, in the eastern Mediterranean\, as depicted in the Homeric epics and the Hebrew Bible. This illustrated talk will highlight the exciting discoveries of the University of Toronto’s ongoing excavations at ancient Tayinat. \nTIMOTHY HARRISON\n(University of Toronto) \nCosponsored by the\nUCLA Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures\nUCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology

SUMMARY:New Light on the Egyptian Origin of the Hebrew Alphabet
DESCRIPTION:The publication of a new inscription from Theban Tomb 99 sheds new light on the early history of the Hebrew Alphabet.  This ostracon is a bilingual “abecedary” written in Egyptian Hieroglyphic and Semitic.  It gives further evidence for an Egyptian connection to the origins of the early Hebrew alphabet. \nSponsored by the\nUCLA Near Eastern Languages & Cultures \nCosponsored by the\nUCLA Alan D.

SUMMARY:Painters and Painting Practices in the Theban Necropolis During the 18th Dynasty
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will outline some of the main results of a project funded by a Research Incentive Grant of the National Foundation for Scientific Research of Belgium (F.R.S. – FNRS) and devoted to the study of the painters responsible for the decoration of private tombs in the Theban Necropolis during the 18th dynasty\, their techniques\, practices\, work organisation\, employability and relations to their patrons. It will start by addressing the often skirted issue of art and artists in Ancient Egypt\, before analysing the various Egyptological data as well as new methodological strategies that allow us to study and track down those artists in their social but also individual identities.

SUMMARY:Lucille Ball in Ancient Egypt? The Business Dealings of Lady Tsenhor in Persian Egypt
DESCRIPTION:If Tsenhor were alive today\, she would be wearing jeans\, drive a pick-up and enjoy a beer with the boys. Instead she was born c. 2500 years ago\, leaving behind an archive of Demotic papyri now kept in various European museums. These papyri allow us to reconstruct her life (in a way)\, showing that apart from being a housewife she worked as a funerary priest\, bought her own slaves\, owned land and did construction work with her second husband. A woman of many talents indeed. \n  \nKoen Donker van Heel is University Lecturer at the Papyrological Institute of the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. He is a specialist in abnormal hieratic and early Demotic documents (8th to 4th c. BCE.). His research deals with legal and socio-economic history of Egypt in the Nubian to Persian Periods.

SUMMARY:Tracing the Skill of Fresco Painting in Tell El-Dabca
DESCRIPTION:Around 1500 B.C.E. a palatial district has been constructed at the site of Tell el-Dabca\, directly above the Pelusiac branch of the Nile. There\, below the ramps of the entrances of both main buildings about 20 000 fragments of wall paintings have been discovered since 1992. These paintings are rather unusual in context of the Egyptian material culture: they display a rather strangely appearing ‘minoanizing’ iconography\, they are painted on lime plaster instead of the more widespread gypsum plaster and also not the usual tempera-\, but the fresco technique is extensively used. The latter aspect if of particular importance when we want to better understand the kind of transmediterranean relations during this period. Hence the seminar will discuss the different techniques traceable at the site\, try to approach the different necessary skills for their execution and how these might be spread in the Eastern Mediterranean.

SUMMARY:Secret Knowledge and Doubtful Priests in Ancient Egyptian Literature
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will discuss two themes of my ongoing book project “Cult Practice in Ancient Egyptian Literature”. First\, Egyptian literary texts (narratives\, wisdom texts and discourses) often make reference to “secret knowledge.” What does this mean? Second\, doubt is an important motif in several of these texts\, that is\, doubts about the claims of certain priests\, doubts about the efficacy of magic and offerings\, and even priestly self-doubt. What role does this motif play in these texts? \n  \nFranziska Naether is assistant professor of Egyptology at the Egyptological Institute and Egyptian Museum “Georg Steindorff” at the University of Leipzig. Her dissertation “Sortes Astrampsychi” focused on a complex Greek lot oracle from Roman Egypt and other divinatory methods and their legacy. Naether’s research interests include ancient Egyptian literature\, religion and its material culture\, representation and communication of rulers\, papyrology and digital humanities. From 2005 to 2008\, she was collaborator of the initial phase of the “Trismegistos” database and is now working for the “Demotistische Literaturübersicht\,” a review project for demotic studies featured in the journal “Enchoria” and in Trismegistos. Naether is a Visiting Research Scholar at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World in New York for the 2015-16 academic year and currently for a short leave at the Getty Research Institute.

SUMMARY:Egypt and Israel
DESCRIPTION:This talk will survey the many interconnections between Egypt and Israel during the biblical period\, with a special focus on the manner in which Egyptian literary\, religious\, and magical texts inform the biblical narratives of Joseph (Genesis 37-50) and Moses (Exodus 1-15). To mention just two examples here: just as Isis hides baby Horus amongst the papyrus reeds\, so does Moses’s mother hide her baby in similar fashion; and just as Isis suckles Horus\, as depicted in various statuettes\, so must Moses’s mother become the wet-nurse of her child.
