  With the following General themes:
  1- Geography and history of Naqada and Qus region.
  2- Heritege of Naqada and Qus region, its antiquities, arts and industries.
  3- Treatment, Restoration, Preservation, Conservation, Storage and Displaying issues.
  4- Intangible and oral issues & Legal and ethical issues.
  5- Development issues.
  6- Comparative studies with similar regions, areas, sites, monuments, cases from Egypt and from around the world in the conference themes and items.
  7- Other Additional open subjects
  The competition for the Conference has been exceptional and you may be interested to know that several abstracts were submitted. We have selected the best ones to call as papers.
  There is an impressive group of international authors and the conference proves to be most exciting.
We plan for the conference events to be fascinating and to have a valuable and beautiful volume.
  The language of the conference will be English and Arabic.

              The Conference Venue

  The Preliminary suggested venue for the conference: The Centre of the Archangel Michael Monastery in Naqada, located approximately 25 kilometres north of Luxor, Egypt.

  Naqada is situated on the west bank of the Nile north of Luxor, and stood opposite the entrance to the Wadi Hammamat providing direct access to the Red Sea coast and the gold reserves of the eastern desert. Thus Naqada was a prime centre of Predynastic gold trade in the Theben region. The importance  of archaeological finds in Naqada has resulted in its name lending itself to the pre-pharaonic periods between 3800-3100 BC, and is called Naqada I, II  and III.  The large quantity of finds from Naqada has enabled the dating of the entire culture, throughout Egypt and environs. Naqada maintained its  importance throughout the pharaonic period and into the late antiquity period, during which it became inhabited by famous anchorites such as Elias of Mount  Bishwaw and Samuel of Mount Banhadab. On the other side of the Nile from Naqada is Qus. It too was  important as an entrance to the Wadi Hammamat. During medieval times Qus became the primary commercial centre of trade with Africa, and hence was a town of prime importance in Egypt during this period. Today, Qus is the site of a major US/German commercial project to convert the waste products of sugar cane refining into paper products.

              Accommodation

  We hope to have most of the participants most of the time together in one place for the large amount of communications and community so that a good packet of full hotel accommodation is prepared at The Conference Venue. Beside the activities being arranged for the conference some other services are being organized such as:
  1- A full two-ways transfer from and to Cairo airport and the conference venue with rate build on group's transfer.
  2- A gala Dinner.
  3- A post-conference tour (date to be publisher later on), 4 days 3 nights tour to the monasteries and archaeological areas in Upper Egypt.

              Who Can Participate?

  The organizer seeks to widen participation at this conference, and would like to encourage colleagues from all parts of the world to attend.

  All professionals committed to the world's museums collections' monuments, historical sites and culture property such as curators, archaeologists, Egyptologists, Copticists, art historians, Iconographers, conservators, scientists, technicians, architects, engineers, lawyers, legislators and other professionals who are work or interested in the field and in the subject, those who actively promote the preservation of culturally  and historically significant works through study, analysis, collaboration can participate. Again the public and  individuals interested can participate.

  The priority of registration will go to the papers' authors and co-authors (this required to register by the early bird deadline-October 30, 2006), Again it is so recommended that those who are interested in attending the conference other then authors and co-authors to take the advantage of the early registration. The registration and reservations will be accepted on a first come basis.

  The registrars who will not be able to attend will receive the conference
package which will be sent to them.

              Important dates & General Notes

  - Deadline for receipt of the papers abstracts proposals was: July 1, 2006.
  - Authors received a response of acceptance and a full copy of instruction to authors by July 15, 2006.
  - Deadline for receipt of the full papers was: October 1, 2006.

Start Date: May 22, 2008
End Date: May 29, 2008
Call for Papers: Yes

Location
Rodos Palace Hotel & Convention Center. Rhodes, Greece

Description:
In accordance with the decision of the General Assembly of the International Association of Egyptologists during its session in Grenoble, on 10 September 2004, Egyptologists from all countries are cordially invited to take part in the Xth International Congress of Egyptologists, which will be held at Rodos Palace Hotel & Convention Center (www.rodos-palace.gr) in the island of Rhodes, Greece, from 22 to 29 May 2008.

Disciplines & Themes
The work of the Congress will be organized on a series of major themes within Egyptology, with a particular focus on multi-disciplinary approaches to general themes. Participants will be asked to orient their contributions towards one of the major themes, whatever the nature of the evidence and source material they are working with. The list of major themes for the Congress is yet to be decided but suggestions have included the following topics:

Cultural Heritage
Egypt - Greece in Antiquity: ethnicity, cross-cultural interactions and adaptations
Archaeology and History of Art
The Egyptian belief-system: knowledge, sacred and profane
Sociology
Literature and Philology
The Archaic state and the origins of culture
Foreign Relations and Diplomacy

The list is not exclusive. The named themes are merely intended to provide a focus of discussion. Suggestions and comments from potential participants about themes to which they would like to contribute will be most welcome. Papers will be assigned to individual sessions within the wider themes on the basis of abstracts  submitted and it is intended, so far as is possible, to associate multi-disciplinary approaches to  selected issues. Papers that do not fit this thematic approach will be grouped together under the major disciplines  headings of archaeology, art, religion and language. Appropriate slots in the timetable will also  be made available for communications giving news of work in progress in  all fields of Egyptology. In addition to the papers read, special forums  for work-groups will be considered and facilities will be provided for poster  sessions and visual displays. Participants should provide the Organising Committee with details of display area  required and format of displays at the earliest possible date. The emphasis will be on the widest academic participation and the highest academic quality that can be achieved for the Congress, within  the context of an open forum for all branches of Egyptology and access for juniors as well as senior scholars. In conformance with modern  trends in academic conferences, the Organising Committee proposes to administer a refereed Congress. Acceptance on the programme is on the basis of peer review of the abstracts submitted. The eventual publication of papers will also be subject to referee.

Temples of Ancient Egypt: Homes for the Gods.
A Symposium presented by The Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities in association with The Royal Ontario Museum Toronto, Canada
 The largest temples ever constructed were built for the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt. Karnak, Luxor, Edfu, Philae and Dendera still draw crowds of tourists and pilgrims, long after the last rituals were performed. What went on in Ancient Egyptian temples? Why did the Egyptians spend so much time and energy on these buildings? Who were the priests and priestesses who served in them? And what of the ordinary people? What was the relationship of the man and woman in the street to the gods in their golden shrines? Come and hear the latest news about some of the oldest buildings in the world. On SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 2003, confirmed speakers Prof. David O'Connor of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Emily Teeter of the University of Chicago, Prof. Gene Cruz-Uribe of Northern Arizona University, Alwyn Burridge of the University of Toronto, Edwin Brock of the KV5 Project/AUC and Prof. Carolyn Routledge of Stockton College will delight and enlighten.  The 29th Annual SSEA Symposium is once again being held in association with the ROM, with special rates for SSEA and ROM members: ROM and SSEA members, seniors $85 (online registration rate: $80); Students $50 (online = $45); General public $95 (online = $90).  For online registration, visit http://www.rom.on.ca,  and click on ROMLife.   The Symposium will take place on Saturday, November 8, in Rm. 1050, 5 Bancroft Ave. on the University of Toronto downtown campus, from 9am to  5pm.  Please note that no papers are being solicited or this event.  Contact ssea@bigfoot.com for further information or visit http://www.geocities.com/ssea.geo [after Sept. 15th] for updates.

Les Mathématiques au temps des Pharaons
par le Dr. Fathi Saleh
 
Les bâtisseurs de pyramides avaient de bonnes connaissances dans plusieurs domaines scientifiques dont les mathématiques, la physique, la mécanique, la géométrie et l'astronomie. Il existe plusieurs papyrus qui traitent de sujets mathématiques ou astronomiques. Il est très curieux de constater que l'approche de la pensée mathématique des Pharaons est très proche de celle de la base de l'informatique.
La conférence sera donnée en français dans le cadre de la Semaine Culturelle Egyptienne

Calligraphy Center:  The Second International Forum of the Calligraphy, Writing and Inscriptions in the World Throughout the Ages
 24-26 April 2005

 Topics of the Forum:

The Forum aims at studying calligraphy in the world. Within this framework, it will cover the study of calligraphy according to a certain axis, which follows the historical and geographical classification in the following sequence:

 1- Calligraphy of the Ancient Near East civilizations.
 2- Calligraphy of the Far East civilizations.
 3- Calligraphy of the classical civilizations and its contemporary
civilizations.
 4- Calligraphy of the Arab-Islamic civilizations.
 5- Calligraphy in Africa.
 6- Calligraphy in Latin America.

 The study of calligraphy in each civilization or geographical area is based on the inclusion of studying their calligraphy within the ramework of the following sub-topics:

 1- Evolution and development
 2- Patterns of calligraphy
 3- Mutual effects
 4- Aesthetics of calligraphy
 5- Content of inscriptions
 6- Important issues
 7- Modern research fields
 8- The scientific term in calligraphy and writing
 9- Writing tools
 10-The relation between form and content
 11-Symbols of writing
 12-The modern techniques and research related to the formations of
calligraphy

 Graffiti was selected to be the main theme of the Forum main sessions.

 Idea of the Forum:

 The granite wall mural surrounding the Bibliotheca Alexandrina reflects the inscriptions and writings of the ancient world, hence reflecting the role of the Library in collecting the human knowledge through the ages in its attempt to become a center of human civilizations.  This Forum aims at studying the evolution of human knowledge of inscriptions since the pre-historic eras. This knowledge started as an imitation to animals and the surrounding environment, which soon developed into a certain written language relevant to each civilization. This language was not only man's means of identifying his life and his achievements, but also an archive of the history of man. Some calligraphy was distinguished by its marvelous artistic style. The organizers of the Forum aim at collecting integrated and various studies on the history of inscriptions and writings in the ancient world and throughout the middle and modern ages.
