SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Saving the Archaeology and Monuments of Lower Nubia
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1902\, the archaeological sites and monuments of Lower Nubia were increasingly threatened by the construction of the series of dams on the Nile River at Aswan. By the early 1960s\, the ancient land of Lower Nubia had vanished forever beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. Through international efforts\, some of the cultural heritage of Lower Nubia was saved (including monuments like the temples of Abu Simbel and Philae); most other sites\, such as the fortress of Buhen\, a focus of work for the Penn Museum\, were destroyed. This talk will examine these sites\, the program of rescue archaeology\, and the role of the Penn Museum in rescuing the archaeological heritage of Lower Nubia. \nSpeaker: Josef Wegner\, Associate Professor of Egyptian Archaeology\, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator\, Egyptian Section\, Penn Museum

SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O'Connor: Abydos Through the Ages
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Symposium in Honor of Dr. David B. O’Connor\nSaturday\, June 10\, 9am-5pm\nHybrid Event: Penn Museum\, Rainey Auditorium & Webinar \nLecture is FREE to attend\, but requires registration for in-person and virtual options. Register here: https://www.penn.museum/calendar/1584/arce-pa-symposium \nSymposium Topic: Abydos Through the Ages \nAbstract:\nARCE-PA’s June 10 2023 symposium on the archaeology of Abydos will honor the legacy of Dr. David B. O’Connor. In 1967 O’Connor\, then Curator of the University Museum’s Egyptian Section\, started the Pennsylvania-Yale Expedition to Abydos. During the 1960s-1990s his research at Abydos focused on North Abydos with its cemeteries and temples linked with the cult of the Egyptian funerary god Osiris. Over the course of his later career\, both at Penn and then at the Institute of Fine Arts\, New York University\, O’Connor was instrumental in fostering a broadening range of intensive archaeological activity at Abydos. New archaeological research occurred in numerous areas such as the late Old Kingdom to Middle Kingdom mortuary landscape of the Middle Cemetery\, the royal funerary complexes of Kings Senwosret III and Ahmose at South Abydos\, and the memorial temples of Kings Thutmose III and Ramses II. In 2009 O’Connor published Abydos: Egypt’s First Pharaohs and the Cult of Osiris\, a book that examined the rich and ever-changing archaeological picture of ancient Abydos. With the continued sponsorship of the Penn Museum\, Institute of Fine Arts/New York University\, University of Michigan\, and other institutions\, the program of North American and Egyptian archaeologists working at Abydos\, and in Egypt\, has grown and prospered thanks to the foundation provided by O’Connor’s long dedication to Egyptian archaeology and the site of Abydos. The symposium will include lectures by scholars who started their careers under David O’Connor\, examining past discoveries\, their most recent archaeological research at Abydos\, and the ways in which O’Connor shaped their own careers. \nAbydos Symposium Speakers:\nDr. Matthew D. Adams\, Senior Research Scholar\, Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU\nDr. Janet Richards\, Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Middle East Studies\, Univ. of Michigan and Curator of Dynastic Egyptian Collections at the Kelsey Museum\nDr. Josef Wegner\, Professor of Egyptian Archaeology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator in the Egyptian Section of the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology\nDr. Stephen Harvey\, Director of the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project\nDr. Michelle Marlar\, Director of Egyptian Archaeological Missions at the Houston Museum of Natural Science\nMr. Hazem Salah Abdullah\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Mohamed Abu El-Yazid\, Senior Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nMr. Ayman Damarany\, Inspector\, Sohag Antiquities Office\, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities\, EGYPT\nDr. Sameh Iskander\, Research Associate\, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW)\nDr. Diana Craig Patch\, Lila Acheson Wallace Curator in Charge\, Dept. of Egyptian Art\, Metropolitan Museum \nCoffee & Tea will be available starting at 8:30am. There will be a 1.5 hour break for lunch.
