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.

Those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area who have an
interest in Egyptian history and culture should take the
following course, offered through UC Berkeley Extension
and taught by Dr. Terry Moore. Dr. Moore has taught for
UC Berkeley Extension since at least 1992. Her teaching of
and enthusiasm for Ancient Egypt has inspired a number of
students, and can be credited with bringing together the
people who started the Northern California chapter of the
American Research Center in Egypt.

Note that enrollment for the class is underway, and

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.

I am writing on behalf of the Northern California chapter of the American
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
***@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.

Sincerely,

With all due respect, I've seen Ms. Andrews' lecture and would suggest she
discontinue her presentation in monotone. A few people actually nodded off a
couple of times. Honestly, the only thing humorous about her presentation was
her high-pitched voice in monotone that would make a baby cry.

Basically, her presentation was a story about mythology in a sense. I didn't
understand some of her slides of ancient art that I've never seen in any of my
Egyptian books, which I have plenty, but ancient art that was possibly from
another geographical location intermixed with slides of ancient Egyptian art
from ancient Egyptian bas-reliefs. Ms. Andrews painted a picture she wanted us
to see but I had a hard time putting it all together.

Just my point of view...

[Glenn Meyer]

I am looking for a copy of the 1969 Egyptian film
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
digital media, though ANY media will be okay, for rent
or for sale.

Does anyone know where I can find this film?

Thanks!

Subject: ARCE/NW lecture Lucie Duff Gordon
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2004 12:08:16 -0700 (PDT)
From: Scott Noegel <***@u.washington.edu>
To: scott noegel <***@u.washington.edu>

For immediate release please.

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
working on a screenplay about Lucie Duff Gordon's life in Egypt.

Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2005 09:12:28 -0800 (PST)
From: Scott Noegel <***@u.washington.edu>
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.

Co-sponsored by the Burke Museum of Cultural History and the Department of

The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter
is pleased to announce the following event:

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.

The AESA is proud to present
Donald B. Redford
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.

Tickets are available at the SAM Ticket Counter. For more
information, please contact ***@comcast.net or

The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter (ARCE/NW) is
pleased to announce the following Egyptology lecture.
Who: Dr. Gay Robins, Emory University
What: Women, Sexuality, and the Construction of Gender in New Kingdom Art.
When: April 7, 6:30 PM
Where: Burke Museum, University of Washington
Admission: FREE
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.
Dr. Gay Robins studied Egyptology as an undergraduate at the University of
Durham, England, and then went to Oxford to undertake research on queens
of the Eighteenth Dynasty, obtaining a D.Phil. in 1981. From 1979 to 1983
she was the Lady Wallis Budge Research Fellow in Egyptology at Christ's
College, Cambridge. She is now Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art
History at Emory University and Faculty Consultant for Ancient Egyptian
Art in the Michael C. Carlos Museum. She has published numerous
articles relating to ancient Egyptian art, women and gender issues in
ancient Egypt, and the living stature and physical proportions of the
ancient Egyptians. She is the author of Egyptian Painting and Relief
(1986), Women in Ancient Egypt (1993), Proportion and Style in Ancient
Egyptian Art (1994), The Art of Ancient Egypt (1997), and Egyptian Statues
(2001). She is currently writing a book on non-royal 18th dynasty Theban
rock-cut tombs.

Who: Dr. Gay Robins, Emory University
What: Women, Sexuality, and the Construction of Gender in New Kingdom Art.
When: April 7, 6:30 PM
Where: Burke Museum, University of Washington
Admission: FREE
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.
Dr. Gay Robins studied Egyptology as an undergraduate at the University of
Durham, England, and then went to Oxford to undertake research on queens
of the Eighteenth Dynasty, obtaining a D.Phil. in 1981. From 1979 to 1983
she was the Lady Wallis Budge Research Fellow in Egyptology at Christ's
College, Cambridge. She is now Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Art
History at Emory University and Faculty Consultant for Ancient Egyptian
Art in the Michael C. Carlos Museum. She has published numerous
articles relating to ancient Egyptian art, women and gender issues in
ancient Egypt, and the living stature and physical proportions of the
ancient Egyptians. She is the author of Egyptian Painting and Relief
(1986), Women in Ancient Egypt (1993), Proportion and Style in Ancient
Egyptian Art (1994), The Art of Ancient Egypt (1997), and Egyptian Statues
(2001). She is currently writing a book on non-royal 18th dynasty Theban
rock-cut tombs.

The American Research Center in Egypt's Northwest Chapter (ARCE/NW) is
pleased to announce the following Egyptology Arts lecture:

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.

I sent the following announcement under the wrong subject heading.
Instead of "Northern Cal. ARCE/UCB April 17 lecture: Working with the
Dead at El Hibeh, Egypt", the subject heading should have been
"Egyptology Course on 18th Dynasty to be offered through UC Berkeley

Major Exhibition Debuts at Opening of New de Young<br>
<br>
<b>de Young<br>
15 October 2005-5 February 2006<br>
<br>
</b>San Francisco, 27 July 2005--<i>Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh</i>
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&#8217;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.<br>
<br>
Hatshepsut&#8217;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&#8217;s reign and reveal the diverse and sophisticated
artistic production of her time. <br>
<br>
<b>Lenders to the Exhibition<br>
</b>The spectacular objects that have been lent for <i>Hatshepsut:
From
Queen to Pharaoh</i> were culled from an august body of international
institutions by the exhibition&#8217;s organizers, Dr. Ren&eacute;e 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.<br>
<br>
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 &amp; Anthropology, the &Auml;gyptisches
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. <br>
<br>
<b>Hatshepsut: Woman of Many Aspects<br>
</b>The phenomenon of a woman ruling a fundamentally patriarchal
society
while surrounded by male courtiers and advisors, the eventual
destruction
of Hatshepsut&#8217;s monuments by Tuthmosis III, and the omission of her
name
from later king lists have fueled debate among Egyptologists for over a
century. <i>Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh</i> 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
&#8220;King&#8221;
and the trappings of kingship in addition to the queenly titles that
she
already held. <br>
<br>
Under an unusual line of succession, she and Tuthmosis III, who was the
son of Hatshepsut&#8217;s husband, but by a lesser queen, effectively shared
the throne of Egypt as two kings for a period of almost 20 years.
Hatshepsut&#8217;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&#8217;s regalia,
including a strapped-on false beard. As Egypt&#8217;s two Horuses, Hatshepsut
and Tuthmosis III, 13 years her junior, frequently appeared together on
monuments as &#8220;twin&#8221; male rulers distinguished only by the position of
their cartouches--with Hatshepsut usually taking precedence--or
occasionally by their regalia. <br>
<br>
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&#8217;s death, however, her name and
her
image were systematically obliterated, her kingly monuments were
destroyed, and she was forgotten.<br>
<br>
<b>Highlights of the Exhibition<br>
</b>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 <i>False-Door Stela</i> 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&#8217;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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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, <br>
<br>
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, cloisonn&eacute;, and faience and
semi-precious
stone jewelry in the exhibition. A particularly magnificent necklace,
the
<i>Horus Collar,</i> 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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<b>Organization and Credit<br>
</b>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.<br>
<br>
<b>Catalogue<br>
</b>The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated
catalogue,
published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with worldwide
distribution
through Yale University Press. Co-editors Dr. Ren&eacute;e Dreyfus, Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco, Dr. Cathleen Keller, University of
California,
Berkeley, and Dr. Catharine Roehrig, The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
will
also provide substantial contributions to the publication, along with a
number of other top scholars in the field. 600 pages, 450 color
illustrations and 100 black and white illustrations and images;

<br>
<b>Audio Tour for Adults and for Children<br>
</b><i>Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh</i> is accompanied by an
Antenna
Audio tour for both adults and children that explores the fascinating
stories behind many of the objects on view. The audio tour includes
commentary by exhibition co-curators Dr. Ren&eacute;e Dreyfus, Fine Arts
Museums&#8217; Curator of Ancient Art and Interpretation, Dr. Catharine H.
Roehrig of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as Professor

A. Keller of the University of California, Berkeley. It traces
Hatshepsut&#8217;s emergence as co-regent of Egypt and continues with
insights
into her rule, her predecessors, and the continuing mystery of her
exclusion from subsequent king lists in ancient Egypt. The tour
explores
the context and artistry of monumental statues of Hatshepsut and
others,
as well as many delicate, rare, and highly refined objects of daily and
ceremonial use, such as jewelry, toiletries, and furnishings, which
help
bring the era to life. A musical score interwoven into the audio tour
evokes the time and place, helping to provide visitors with an
immersive
experience.<br>

Major Exhibition Debuts at Opening of New de Young<br>
<br>
<b>de Young<br>
15 October 2005-5 February 2006<br>
<br>
</b>San Francisco, 27 July 2005--<i>Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh</i>
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&#8217;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.<br>
<br>
Hatshepsut&#8217;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&#8217;s reign and reveal the diverse and sophisticated
artistic production of her time. <br>
<br>
<b>Lenders to the Exhibition<br>
From
Queen to Pharaoh</i> were culled from an august body of international
institutions by the exhibition&#8217;s organizers, Dr. Ren&eacute;e 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.<br>
<br>
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 &amp; Anthropology, the &Auml;gyptisches
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. <br>
<br>
<b>Hatshepsut: Woman of Many Aspects<br>
</b>The phenomenon of a woman ruling a fundamentally patriarchal
society
while surrounded by male courtiers and advisors, the eventual
destruction
of Hatshepsut&#8217;s monuments by Tuthmosis III, and the omission of her
name
from later king lists have fueled debate among Egyptologists for over a
century. <i>Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh</i> 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
&#8220;King&#8221;
and the trappings of kingship in addition to the queenly titles that
she
already held. <br>
<br>
Under an unusual line of succession, she and Tuthmosis III, who was the
son of Hatshepsut&#8217;s husband, but by a lesser queen, effectively shared
the throne of Egypt as two kings for a period of almost 20 years.
Hatshepsut&#8217;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&#8217;s regalia,
including a strapped-on false beard. As Egypt&#8217;s two Horuses, Hatshepsut
and Tuthmosis III, 13 years her junior, frequently appeared together on
monuments as &#8220;twin&#8221; male rulers distinguished only by the position of
their cartouches--with Hatshepsut usually taking precedence--or
occasionally by their regalia. <br>
<br>
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&#8217;s death, however, her name and
her
image were systematically obliterated, her kingly monuments were
destroyed, and she was forgotten.<br>
<br>
<b>Highlights of the Exhibition<br>
</b>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 <i>False-Door Stela</i> 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&#8217;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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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, <br>
<br>
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, cloisonn&eacute;, and faience and
semi-precious
stone jewelry in the exhibition. A particularly magnificent necklace,
the
<i>Horus Collar,</i> 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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
<b>Organization and Credit<br>
</b>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.<br>
<br>
<b>Catalogue<br>

catalogue,
published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with worldwide
distribution
through Yale University Press. Co-editors Dr. Ren&eacute;e Dreyfus, Fine Arts
Museums of San Francisco, Dr. Cathleen Keller, University of
California,
Berkeley, and Dr. Catharine Roehrig, The Metropolitan Museum of Art,
will
also provide substantial contributions to the publication, along with a
number of other top scholars in the field. 600 pages, 450 color

Audio tour for both adults and children that explores the fascinating
stories behind many of the objects on view. The audio tour includes

the context and artistry of monumental statues of Hatshepsut and
others,
as well as many delicate, rare, and highly refined objects of daily and
ceremonial use, such as jewelry, toiletries, and furnishings, which

immersive
experience.<br>

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!
