But what is the relationship between these images—along with the deep history they evoke and the processes of discovery that made them visible—and the history of modern Egypt? In this talk\, Wendy Doyon will discuss the relationship between state\, archaeology\, and labor in Mehmed (or Muhammad) Ali’s Egypt—an autonomous khedival\, or viceregal\, state within the late Ottoman Empire—and explain how the power of the Egyptian state in the nineteenth century was built\, in large part\, on the creation of modern antiquities land and the organization of Egyptian workers as state assets controlled by Mehmed Ali Pasha and his dynasty-building successors. \nPresented by Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/the-power-of-antiquity-in-the-making-of-modern-egypt-free-virtual-lecture/ LOCATION:Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East\, 6 Divinity Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/doyon_600x400.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.3780714;-71.1139248 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East 6 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=6 Divinity Avenue:geo:-71.1139248,42.3780714 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220224T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220224T190000 DTSTAMP:20260415T160159 CREATED:20220202T144625Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220202T144625Z UID:10006278-1645725600-1645729200@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:On the Literacy and Education of Ancient Egyptian Artists (Free Virtual Lecture) DESCRIPTION:Dimitri Laboury\, Associate Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art History\, Archaeology\, History and History of Religions; Research Director\, Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research in Ancient Egyptian Art History and Archaeology; Director of the Ancient Egyptian Art Historical Research Unit\, University of Liège\, Belgium \nOne of the salient characteristics of ancient Egypt undoubtedly is its hieroglyphic script. The “code” to decipher this writing system was cracked precisely two hundred years ago\, in 1822\, by the brilliant French linguist Jean-François Champollion—the founding father of Egyptology. The complexity of Egyptian hieroglyphs resulted in a low literacy rate among the Pharaonic population. In this lecture\, Dimitri Laboury will address the level(s) of literacy and scholarly education among the makers of the countless hieroglyphic monuments that help make ancient Egypt so famous. Was every ancient Egyptian artist capable of reading and writing hieroglyphs? And in that society\, who were the real experts in hieroglyphic writing? \nPresented by Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture URL:https://www.archaeological.org/event/on-the-literacy-and-education-of-ancient-egyptian-artists-free-virtual-lecture/ LOCATION:Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East\, 6 Divinity Avenue\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.archaeological.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/laboury-600x400-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Harvard Museums of Science &%3Bamp%3B Culture":MAILTO:hmscpr@hmsc.harvard.edu GEO:42.3780714;-71.1139248 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East 6 Divinity Avenue Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=6 Divinity Avenue:geo:-71.1139248,42.3780714 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211130 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220516 DTSTAMP:20260415T160159 CREATED:20211201T190958Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211201T221759Z UID:10006216-1638230400-1652659199@www.archaeological.org SUMMARY:Mediterranean Marketplaces: Connecting the Ancient World Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Much like today\, ancient “consumers” were connected to distant markets.
