Extractions: Egyptology This collection is the most significant and comprehensive of the Museum's archaeological collections in terms of its historical value and size. It was formed through subscriptions by the Museum to British excavations in Egypt from 1884 until the present day. The excavators concerned include most of the well known names in British Egyptology, beginning with Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie. The connection between Bolton and Egypt through the cotton trade gave rise to the 19th century interest in Egypt's ancient civilisation in all its varied aspects, and in particular to the finds of early textiles. The reference collection of Egyptian and Sudanese textiles totals c.1500 specimens dating from c.5000 BC to the 12th century AD. The first curator of the Museum, William Midgley, began the scientific study of Egyptian textiles in Great Britain which was continued by his successor and son, Thomas Midgley. This textile collection is the third largest in the United Kingdom with the widest range in date. The Egyptian collection as a whole is recognised as one of the most important provincial collections in this country. Deriving from 68 sites in the Nile Delta and Valley, the objects come from funerary and domestic contexts, dating from the Neolithic to the Roman/Christian periods. Annie E F Barlow, the daughter of a Bolton cotton spinning manufacturer collected local subscriptions for the benefit of the Museum as the honorary secretary of the Egypt Exploration Fund/Society in the area from 1887 until 1937. She also formed a private collection as a result of her personal donations and gave this to the Museum at various times between 1890 and 1934.

Extractions: THE EGYPT SOCIETY OF BRISTOL e-mail: 100761.3075@compuserve.com Egyptology in Bristol Bristol was the home - and burial place, in Henbury Churchyard - of one of the most important figures in the history of British Egyptology - Amelia Blandford Edwards, founder of both the Egypt Exploration Fund (now Society), and of the UK's first Chair of Egyptology, at University College London. Bristol Museum was, indeed, an early subscriber to the Fund's excavations, and holds a very fine collection of Egyptian antiquities. It is also possible that Sarah Belzoni, wife of the celebrated explorer Giovanni, was also a Bristolian. In the late 1890s, University College Bristol, soon to become Bristol University, was one of the very first institutions to teach Egyptian hieroglyphs, two early students (Gerald Wainwright and Ernest MacKay) later becoming important figures in Egyptian field archaeology. The language was taught by Ernest Sibree (d.1927). The Chairman of the Society, Dr Aidan Dodson, is currently attempting to research his career, and any information would be gratefully received. Sadly, in the 1920s, teaching of the subject died out, although the link was maintained through the fine collections of the City Museum and Art Gallery. Its post-war Curator, Leslie Grinsell had a deep interest in ancient Egypt, and was the author of an excellent book about the pyramids - written while he was serving with the RAF in Egypt during the Second World War!

Extractions: Welcome to 'Akhet Egyptology', an ideal place to start exploring the wonders of the past. Find out about the people of this amazing culture, and learn about the gods they worshiped, the Pharaohs they followed and the tombs and statues they left behind. So look around, and find out more about famous people like Tutankhamun , the elaborate preparations they made for an eternal life. See the masks and jewelry which the dead took with them into their tombs and the elaborate mythology that inspired it. My recent trip to Luxor means that there are loads of new sections in the site, as well as updates to several existing ones.

Extractions: collections. I am currently completing a project to publish the coffins and related equipment from the tomb of Tutankhamun. Much of this builds on the catalogue cards and photographs left behind by Howard Carter when he died in 1939, but also includes a catalogue and study of all extant Egyptian royal coffins. Textual translations and grammatical commentaries have been prepared by Dr Bill Manley of Glasgow and Edinburgh Universities; it is hoped that the manuscript will go to the editor by the end of 2001 - unfortunately badly delayed by our other commitments. I am very much committed to widening and deepening public

Extractions: Aasian ja Afrikan kielten ja kulttuurien laitos Personnel Egyptology is the study of Ancient Egypt, its culture, history, philology, art history and archaeology of the pharaonic period (3000 BC through 30 BC). In broader terms, the field covers the history and culture of the Nile Valley from the prehistoric period to the Roman Empire, and the history of Coptic Egypt to the present day. Egyptology has been taught at the University of Helsinki since 1968, and as a major subject since 1990. The prime mover of the field in Finland was Prof. Rostislav Holthoer (1937-1997) who in 1980-97 was Professor of Egyptology at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, but also taught regularly in Helsinki for nearly thirty years. Prof. Holthoer took part in both the Joint Scandinavian and the Finnish Expedition to Nubia during the years 1961-66. Holthoer's own field of specialization was New Kingdom pottery. Among his many international commitments, Professor Holthoer was a member of an international committee for the renovation of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Currently there is no position in this field and the teachers are hired on a part-time basis. The Institute has been able to keep up two courses per term to cover the necessary language studies and selected culture courses.
