Egypt

[Jayni Reinhard]

I know that our members have a long-standing interest in all things Egyptian so it is only natural that we have a place for you to exchange thoughts and ideas about Egyptian culture and archaeology. Several members have traveled to Egypt, and some on a regular basis. Here is a place for the give and take between members with similar interests - have fun!

I have started teaching my classes on Pyramids, Pyramids, Pyramids in Sun City Grand in the ASU Lifelong Learning program on Wednesdays at 8;30 AM. The class, however, is full.

I will be teaching a class in Feb. in Sun City on Women Pharaohs in Egypt. This, however, will be open only to Sun City residents.

This sounds so interesting - I wish you could teach the class for all of us as well! I hope you get a good enrollment, I know I wish I could take it!

I have much interest in all things Egyptian. Here is the index page which corrals all my websites regarding this:

I recommend the gallery of photos and info on the Brooklyn Museum and my research on the god Seth.

I'm glad to find this local resource.

This is wonderful Joan - thank you for posting it! Your work on Set is very interesting indeed, and I think our fellow members would agree. Do you sell your artworks? I wonder if there's a way we can set something up at an upcoming meeting, perhaps especially our lecture on Hierakonpolis. Would you be interested?
The Brooklyn Museum is such a beautiful collection - one of my best friends works there. Many thanks again for your post - I hope other members enter into discussion about your research, and your art!

I'm glad you're finding my work interesting. Yes, I sell prints of my artwork:

Yes, I'd be interested in having some artwork there!

Lucky friend that works among such lovely pieces! (It was funny when I was photographing everything, the guard took special note. Apparently no one ever does that...) Odd, because at the Met museum, people are always photographing things.

The Arizona chapter of ARCE (American Research Center in Egypt) will be hosting a lecture by Egyptologist from the University of Memphis, Dr. Sozanne Onstine, on February 12 at 6 pm in Tucson. The lecture is entitled "Hathor: Egypt's Golden Goddess," and will touch on the goddess' connections with Hatshepsut as well as her temple site at Dendra. For more information about location (as I write this it is still TBA) and topic, visit the society website at http://www.arce.org/chapters/arizona/home
Additionally, the next lecture scheduled for the AZ ARCE will be presented by chapter president, Dr. Gonzalo Sanchez, and will focus on the Battle of Kadesh. This talk will occur on March 10 at 6 pm, and its specific location within Tucson is also listed as TBA at this point. Check back for more info soon!

This month's issue of Archaeology Magazine online has a link to their "interactive dig" section, which features Thomas Hikade's site at Hierakonpolis. Those who wish to attend the Hikade lecture on February 16 would benefit from checking out this link ahead of time!
