This book was published in honor of renowned Egyptologist Mark Lehner. His journey into Egyptology began in 1973 when he came to Cairo as a Year-Abroad Student at the American University in Cairo. In 1976 he joined the Nag Hammadi Expedition. Since then, his fascination with the ancient Egypt led him to pursue a career in Egyptian archaeology and he has participated in different archaeological fieldworks in Egypt, including f.i. Abu Rawash, Tell el-Amarna, Mendes, Deir el-Ballas, Abydos, Saqqara, or Luxor. His dedication to the fieldwork in Giza and its monuments makes his scientific contribution so exceptional. One of his distinctive achievements is his comprehensive mapping of the Gita Plateau. In 1985, together with M. McCauley founded Ancient Egypt Research Associates, Inc. (AERA).Mark Lehner authored severalbooks and numerous scholarly articles. His publication "The Complete Pyramids: Solvig the Ancient Mysteries" is a comprehensive guide to Egypt’s pyramids and their historical context. One of Mark's most significant accomplishments is the field school program, launched by AREA in 2005 with the goal of preparing young Egyptian archaeologists to explore their history using scientifical methodologies, explore their history using scientific archaeological methodologies.Mark has also contributed to various documentaries and TV programs. His work is widely respected in the field of Egyptology.
Analyzing Collapse
The Rise and Fall of the Old Kingdom

Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Skickas
This book explores the long-term trends in the development of what was the first complex civilization in history, the Old Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2650–2200 BC), the period that saw the construction of eternal monuments such as Djoser’s Step Pyramid complex in Saqqara, the pyramids of the great Fourth Dynasty kings in Giza, and spectacular tombs of high officials throughout Egypt. The present study aims to show that the historical trajectory of the period was marked by specific processes that characterize most of the world’s civilizations: the role of the ruling elite, the growth of bureaucracy, the proliferation of interest groups, and adaptation to climate change, to name but a few—and the way that these processes held the germ of ultimate collapse. The case is made that the rise and fall of the Old Kingdom state is of relevance to the study of the anatomy of development of any complex civilization.
Profane Landscapes, Sacred Spaces

Inbunden, Engelska, 2020

Tillfälligt slut
Ever since Herodotus, it has been observed that Egypt - that is, ancient Egyptian civilisation - was a gift of the Nile. However, only recently have Egyptologists come to appreciate that Egypt was as much a gift of the desert as a gift of the water, at least as regards its very beginnings. To understand the civilisation that originally settled along the Nile Valley and in the Delta, we must study not only the remains of ancient monuments, excavated artefacts and reconstructed texts, but take proper account of the landscape, conditions and environment that shaped Egypt's culture, religion and ideology. This volume addresses various aspects of how the world was perceived in the minds of Egyptians, and how Egyptians subsequently reshaped their surrounding landscape in harmony with their view of geography and cosmological ideas. Profane landscape and sacred space thus blend into one multi-faceted concept.

Tillfälligt slut
This book is intended as a commented summary of some of the major trends and most important features that can be encountered when analysing ancient Egyptian society of the Old Kingdom. We have to bear in mind that around 3000 BCE one of the first centralised states in our recorded history rose, and the Old Kingdom represents certainly one of its apogees. Moreover, there is hardly any comparable society that left behind such a wealth of archaeological and literary evidence, a welcome companion for our journey back in time. The goal for writing this book was to outline general trends in the history of the non-royal tomb development of the period. The reason is rather simple and straightforward: ancient Egyptians considered the tomb to be their afterlife residence for eternity. In the afterlife they replicated the life they experienced during the lifetime. Thus the tomb architecture, decoration, inscriptions and equipment paradoxically represent a major tool for our understanding of the everyday life of the ancient Egyptians and enable a better comprehension of the development and dynamics of the Old Kingdom. The book is divided into nine chapters covering, step by step, the development of the Egyptian tomb and society from the Predynastic Period to the end of the first six Egyptian dynasties, a lengthy period of time which covers the Early Dynastic and the Old Kingdom periods. These six chapters are accompanied by three additional chapters on religious aspects of the Old Kingdom society, its economy and environment.

Dr. Zahi Hawass is the most famous Egyptologist in the world. He is much more than his public persona, as the many wonderful tributes in this volume attest. He is an experienced archaeologist, a serious and significant scholar. Zahi was a Senior and soon Chielf Inspector at Giza. He was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. Zahi today embodies a living history of modern Egyptology, especially in the field of pyramid studies. Studies include Zahi´s biography and bibliography.
Pyramid Fields of Ancient Egypt: A Satellite Atlas
AvMiroslav Barta,Vladimír Brůna
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

Tillfälligt slut
This volume offers a valuable resource by compiling and interpreting high-resolution satellite images of all Old and Middle Kingdom pyramid sites in Egypt. The sites included in this Atlas represent to a large degree the principal sites of the third- through the thirteenth-Dynasty. Their particular characteristics mirror the specific periods of Egyptian history, providing a fascinating window into the incredible story of ancient Egypt. Sites covered include (starting in the north): Abu Rawash, Giza, Zawiyet el-Aryan, Abusir, Saqqara, Dahshur, Mazghuna, Lisht, Meidum, Lahun, Hawara and Abydos. Also featured is the site of Abu Ghurob, with the two sun temples of Userkaf and Nyuserra of the fifth-Dynasty and the so-called minor step pyramids dating from the late third- to the early fourth-Dynasty. These start in Seila at the northeastern edge of the Faiyum Oasis and include – proceeding those of Zawyet Sultan – Nubt (Naqada), Abydos (Sinki), Hierakonpolis (el-Kula), Edfu (Ghonemeia) and Elephantine. The individual sites are characterised on the background of their local topography and changing nature of their development over time as reflected by the position of individual monuments, including the principal pyramids of the Old and Middle Kingdom. Each each site provides a different story in terms of its structure and content, reflecting the simple fact that every site developed under different conditions, in different local setting, had its own internal logics, its pace and its genuine characteristics. Each site also reflects a specific historical situation and tells a different story of its development and rediscovery. Most pyramid fields are increasingly more intensively endangered by modern development and locally-dominated neglect of the need for their preservation. It is strongly believed that the latest technological advances, including the satellite imaging in Egyptology, will ultimately translate into their systematic use in sites’ protection and management, site and landscape analysis and long-term strategies for both ongoing and future excavation and survey projects in Egypt.
