SUMMARY:Oman & the UAE: Crossroads of the Indian Ocean & Arabian Gulf with optional\, pre-tour extension to Qatar!
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the cultural and geographical diversity of Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the company of seasoned study leader Trevor Marchand. Our custom-designed itinerary highlights ancient sites and historical monuments\, and helps illustrate how influential geography has been on the region’s history and how the region’s maritime history has linked it to elsewhere in Arabia and as far as Africa and southern Asia. Begin with three full days in the UAE. Still a little fishing village as of the 18th century\, Dubai was a center of pearl exports until the 1930s. Similarly\, Abu Dhabi was founded as a simple pearl and fishing village. After the discovery of oil in the Arabian Gulf\, Dubai became one of the wealthiest cities in the world\, and Abu\nDhabi was transformed into a luxurious modern metropolis and the capital of the UAE. But this region was settled many centuries earlier\, and we will observe how the old and the new co-exist in intriguing ways. Spend the balance of our time exploring Oman\, which dominated for centuries the maritime trade routes from Moorish Spain to Canton (modern-day Guangzhou\, China). Her seafaring merchants traded in such commodities of civilization as frankincense\, myrrh\, silk\, gold\, spices\, and coffee. Today\, Oman takes pride in sharing its rich history with visitors\, as demonstrated in its world-class museums. Altogether we will learn about these countries’ histories\, cultures\, art\, and architecture while witnessing their great geographical diversity\, from spectacular\ndeserts and wadis to pristine coastlines\, including a reserve for the endangered green sea turtle.

SUMMARY:The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Jason Silvestri\, UC Berkeley: \n“The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology” \nSunday\, November 5\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nNote: Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nAmong the ancient documents in the collection of the Museo Egizio in Turin\, there is a papyrus\, thought to be from Deir el-Medina\, which records a set of magical spells for the protection against snakes written in an Egyptian script but in the hitherto unidentified language of the Qeheq people. The Qeheq are an infrequently attested North African ethnic group of the late 2nd millennium BCE\, often associated with other\, more well-known ancient “Libyan” groups like the Libu and the Meshwesh. The language recorded on the papyrus exhibits strong similarities to proto-Berber as reconstructed by linguists using data from the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, indigenous to North Africa and still spoken today by an estimated 30-to-40 million people from the Atlantic in the west to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt in the east\, from the Mediterranean in the north to the Niger River in the south. As the papyrus records what is likely to be the earliest textually-attested Amazigh language\, and does so using the Egyptian hieratic script\, it stands as a unique document\, serving as a bridge between two related but often separated academic fields–Egyptology and Berberology/Amazigh Studies. When held in light of other Egyptian textual and onomastic material attesting so-called “Libyan” groups from the 1st millennium BCE\, the language of the Qeheq can contribute toward a clearer understanding of the geographic and temporal extent of ancient Amazigh languages and their speakers’ interactions with neighboring cultural groups\, like the Egyptians. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nJason Silvestri is a PhD candidate in the field of Egyptian Archaeology in the department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at UC Berkeley. His dissertation research focuses on the social and administrative history of the Libyan Period in Egypt (Dynasties 21 through 24) and examines numerous social phenomena that are particularly emblematic of that period\, such as the formation and use of diaspora identities and ethnic code-switching\, political identity formation\, factional conflict\, regional identity politicization\, personal piety\, and archaism. Through his interest in Ancient Libyan cultural and linguistic identities\, Jason began studying the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, the indigenous languages of North Africa\, west of the Nile. He founded and coordinated an online language education program through the Center for Language and Culture in Marrakesh\, Morocco\, which operated for several semesters from 2020 through 2022 dedicated to the teaching of Tashelhiyt\, an Amazigh language spoken in Southern Morocco. In addition to his philological work on Egyptian and Amazigh material\, Jason also is a trained archaeologist and has worked on several projects across the Mediterranean\, including in Egypt\, Greece\, and Italy; he is currently starting a project that aims to address a large and mostly unpublished corpus of Third Intermediate Period and Saite Period Egyptian objects excavated from Iron Age indigenous contexts in Southern Italy. \n————————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.
