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.
