SUMMARY:U-2 Over Egypt: A Remote Survey of the Nile Delta using Cold War Aerial Photography
DESCRIPTION:The KY Society of the AIA and the University of Louisville Department of Anthropology present a free public lecture by Dr. Oren Siegel (University of Toronto). During the height of the Cold War\, the United States flew a series of reconnaissance missions using U-2 spy planes over Egypt. Film negatives from two flights that cover much of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta from 1959 have recently been declassified\, and the resulting imagery is both earlier and higher resolution than publicly available CORONA satellite imagery. This talk will discuss the ongoing work by the Brown-Toronto U2 Aerial Photography of Egypt Project to digitize this imagery from the National Archives and Records Administration and make these photographs publicly available to all interested researchers. Beyond this\, I will showcase the results of our ongoing remote survey of Beheira Governorate using U-2 imagery\, highlighting how this imagery gives us a unique window onto a landscape that has changed significantly over the last 5 decades. The talk will close by looking at how this compares to other satellite imagery and aerial photography and highlight the potential of this dataset for archaeological research.

SUMMARY:Egyptian Blue\, humanity’s first inorganic pigment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture by Professor John McCloy\, Washington State University\, who will present results of an investigation into the materials science and processing parameters to fabricate Egyptian blue faience. \nRecently\, our group at Washington State University\, with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute\, recreated Egyptian blue to uncover the science behind its color\, ranging from gray or green to deep blue. We produced 12 versions of Egyptian blue and compared them with artifacts\, using advanced X-ray techniques\, spectroscopy\, and quantitative color measurements. We found Egyptian blue is a complex mixture of phases\, with hue controlled by particle size\, glass content\, and cuprorivaite–silica ratios. Even small changes in materials or heating could dramatically shift its color. \nThese findings reveal ancient craftspeople as skilled materials scientists. Beyond cultural insights and conservation\, Egyptian blue’s infrared glow continues to inspire modern technologies\, linking past creativity with future innovation.
