A man who courts publicity by his style &#8212; he is not known as the Indiana Jones of Egyptology for nothing &#8212; he has ensured plentiful coverage for his quest during the past few days in London, as one of the artefacts he is after is the Rosetta Stone, the tablet seized by the Napoleonic French before being bagged by the British, and which provided the key to understanding hieroglyphics. The Stone is in the British Museum and that august institution has just as strong an intention of hanging on to it as it does to the Parthenon (&#8216;Elgin&#8217;) Marbles. However, that has not dissuaded the tenacious Dr Hawass from running his campaign to get his six target objects back to Egypt in time for the opening of the Egyptian Grand Museum in about five years&#8217; time. </p>
<p><a href="http://jonathanfryer.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/zahi-hawass.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2738" title="Zahi Hawass" src="http://jonathanfryer.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/zahi-hawass.jpg?w=100" alt="" width="100" height="150" /></a>This evening, Dr Hawass was the guest speaker at a sell-out dinner of the Political and Economic Circle of the National Liberal Club in London, where he also enlightened us with some of the fruits of his research over the past 18 months using DNA testing on mummies in the Valley of the Kings (quite a departure for someone whose earlier career was based almost entirely in and around the pyramids of Giza). Two separate laboratories in Cairo worked on the relevant material, some of it from the mummy of King Tutankhamun; Dr Hawass hopes that we may therefore not only learn who King Tut&#8217;s father was, but also solve the mystery of what the young monarch died from. An institute in the United States is currently doing extra research on the material, but Dr Hawass hopes to be in a position very shortly to announce the dramatic findings at a press conference in the Valley of the Kings. In the meantime, he is promoting a couple of new books, including a beautiful coffee table tome on some of the treasures of the current Egyptian Museum, with magnificent pictures by Sandro Vannini (Heritage World Press, £35).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Siete stati al museo di Berlino o avete già visto il volto di Nefertiti? Questo luogo culturale ed il reperto sono temi di <em>EstOvest</em> di Raitre stamattina, sabato ventuno novembre, dalle undici e un quarto, insieme ad un&#8217;intervista allo scrittore Claudio Magris.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L&#8217;intellettuale avrebbe vinto un «Premio per la pace» assegnato dagli editori a Francoforte. Giusto per farvi venire un po&#8217; l&#8217;acquolina in bocca, si dovrebbe discutere dei suoi libri <em>Microcosmi</em>, <em>Danubio</em> ed <em>Alla cieca</em> o di Europa. Spero di non avere fatto errori sui titoli e su <em>Microcosmi</em> sono sicuro. Infine, per Magris, vedere anche sotto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>27.10.09</strong> Beh, forse sapere qualcosa su quegli anni vale davvero la pena. <em>La storia siamo noi </em>di Raistoria va indietro agli anni di piombo e del terrorismo (vedere anche sotto) martedì ventisette ottobre dalle nove di sera e nella notte fra martedì e mercoledì ventotto alle tre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>17.10.09</strong> Ad <em>Estovest</em> di Raitre (sabato diciassette ottobre, alle undici e un quarto di mattina) immagini dal festival letterario Vilenica. Questa sarebbe una grotta su un carso della Slovenia, vicino all&#8217;Italia. Chi è il premiato? Un certo ben conosciuto Claudio Magris, professore universitario e scrittore, esperto in letteratura mitteleuropea.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>06.10.09</strong> Ma cosa è il piano di lavoro relativo al tema «Ambiente» del <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/2009/09/27/a-roma-settimo-programma-ue-al-centro-di-un-dibattito" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>7° programma quadro</strong></span></a> Ue? Sarebbe stato pubblicato il 30 luglio e sarà tema di discussione di un <a href="www.congressofai.org/programma.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>incontro</strong></span></a> a <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/il-pd-siciliano-a-rapporto-sul-federalismo" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">palazzo dei Normanni</span></strong></a>,  a <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/category/europa-europe/ue-eu/italia-italy-italien/sicilia-sicily-sizilien/provincia-di-palermo-palermo-und-umgebung-%e2%80%93-palermo-and-nearby-pres-de-palerme" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Palermo</strong></span></a>, giovedì otto ottobre da mezzogiorno alle quattro e mezza del pomeriggio. Fossi in voi, se interessato, parteciperei e mi chiedo anche cosa si farà nella «Giornata Europea sul settimo programma quadro».</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">- &#8211; -</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La povertà e le carenze alimentari e  di acqua potabile sarebbero i più grandi problemi del mondo per i <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/category/europa-europe/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">cittadini europei</span></strong></a>. Questa l’opinione del 68% degli europei – e del 65% degli <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/category/europa-europe/ue-eu/italia-italy-italien/" target="_blank">italiani</a></span></strong> – secondo un sondaggio Eurostat condotto nell&#8217;<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/category/europa-europe/ue-eu" target="_blank">Unione europea</a></span></strong> da marzo a maggio dello scorso anno. Il 62% degli intervistati (e il 47% in Italia) ritiene, invece, che il più grande problema mondiale siano il riscaldamento globale ed il cambiamento climatico. Al terzo posto il terrorismo che diventa il secondo problema per gli italiani (percentuale del 50%).<br />
Lotta nel Belpaese fra una buona e una cattiva percezione informativa sul cambiamento climatico. Una percentuale compresa fra il 50 e il 57% degli intervistati in Italia afferma di essere stato informato «male» su tre aspetti di questo tema e fra il 37 e il 44% per «bene». Un’ampia maggioranza corrispondente al 73% dei nostri concittadini è convinta che si dovrebbero utilizzare carburanti  alternativi come i  carburanti bio per limitare le emissioni di gas serra.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">PREHISTORIA</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Venus de Willendorf:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p> <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-29" title="Venus de Willendorf " src="http://esplendorbelleza.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/venus-de-willendorf-peqe.jpg" alt="Venus de Willendorf " width="108" height="196" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003366;">Estatuilla de arcilla que cuenta con más de veinte mil años de antigüedad. Aunque peuda parecer sorprendente, este tipo de belleza continúa vigente en la actualidad, concretamente entre los bosquimanos, pueblo que habita en el África meridional yq ue vive aún de la misma formas que el autor de esta escultura.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">EGIPTO</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">La reina Nefertiti:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-30" title="La reina Nefertiti " src="http://esplendorbelleza.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nefertiti-peqe.jpg" alt="La reina Nefertiti " width="82" height="152" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003366;">Este busto se atribuye al escultor Totmés y se cree que la retrató en plena juventud. Esposa de Akhenathon, tuvo seis hijos sin que se deformara su silueta. Como todas las damas de la corte, llevaba la cabeza rapada para poder cambiar de peluca o tocado con mayor facilidad.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">EDAD MODERNA</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dama del renacimiento:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-31" title="Dama del Renacimiento " src="http://esplendorbelleza.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dama-renacimiento-peqe.jpg" alt="Dama del Renacimiento " width="116" height="155" /><span style="color:#003366;">El perfil delicado de esta dama, la belleza de su tocado y la esbelta línea de su cuello nos demuestran un concepto de la moda en quesobresale por encima de todo el arreglo del rostro. Las damas de esa época usaron los afeites con prodigalidad, cuidaron su cutis y depilaron sus cejas con el mismo esmero con que lo hace la mujer de hpy. Y se puede observar el detalle de la depilación de la frente para darle mayor amplitud.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">SIGLO XVIII</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Maria Anonieta:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-32" title="Maria Antonieta " src="http://esplendorbelleza.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/maria-antonieta-peqe.jpg" alt="Maria Antonieta " width="147" height="188" /></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#003366;">Rosa Bertin fue su modista, Léonard su peluquero y suministrador de afeites. En este retrato Maria Antonieta tenía 16 años y era solamente Delfina de Francia. Se supone que poco retoque debía dar a su rostro ya que las crónicas de la época aseguran que tenía un cutis “fragante”. Años más tarde, cuando ya era Reina de Francia, gastó verdaderas fortunas en perfumes, colorete y polvos. El último de sus retratos, realizado cuando era prisionera den el Temple, poco antes de su ejecución, demuestra que aún se empolvaba sus cabellos y se aplicaba colorete.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="color:#800000;">EN LA ACTUALIDAD</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#800000;"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Patricia Rodriguez:</span></strong></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We&#8217;re on a famous syllable now:  nefer, the Egyptian word for beautiful or, as in this case, good.  It has sounded down the ages in the names of some of Egypt&#8217;s most famous queens: </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-414" title="73889001SG007_Egypt_And_Ger" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nefertiti1.jpg?w=200" alt="73889001SG007_Egypt_And_Ger" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p>Nefertiti, &#8220;the beautiful one is come&#8221;;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-418" title="Nefertari" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nefertari2.jpg" alt="Nefertari" width="191" height="293" /></p>
<p>Nefertari, &#8220;the most beautiful of them all&#8221;. </p>
<p>So what symbol did the Egyptians choose to represent the sound of good and beautiful?  Have a look and see if you can tell what it is:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-392" title="nefret" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nefret.jpg" alt="nefret" width="27" height="86" /> </p>
<p>Nope?  Give up?  OK, I&#8217;ll tell you.  It&#8217;s the heart and windpipe, possibly of an ox.  Aaaah, of course!  You&#8217;re smacking yourself on the forehead now, aren&#8217;t you?  What else would you use to convey the sound for good or beautiful?  Well, I suppose these abstract concepts are hard to draw.  You have to reach for the practical, and the practical can be pretty earthy.  I suppose that, as writing was invented to keep inventories of valuable commodities, the butchered components of an expensive animal like an ox would be something you would want to itemise on a list.  The sound is just a coincidence. When writing is developing beyond the practical to capture abstract qualities, if a symbol already exists for that sound, that&#8217;s what you use.  So, they used the heart and windpipe for nefer, meaning good or beautiful.</p>
<p>Or rather, in this case:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-394" title="nfrt transliteration" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nfrt-transliteration1.jpg" alt="nfrt transliteration" width="111" height="91" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The nefer hieroglyph is a triliteral, conveying in one symbol the sound of three consonants:  n, f and r.  The second and third of these letters are written out more fully in other examples: <img class="size-full wp-image-399  aligncenter" title="nfr full099" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nfr-full099.jpg" alt="nfr full099" width="104" height="79" /></p>
<p>However, in the case of our offering formula, like nebet in the previous post, the adjective is feminine, to agree with khet, &#8220;thing&#8221;.  You could put a loaf of bread after it, to stand for the &#8220;t&#8221; if you wanted, but as it&#8217;s a formula and things tend ot get compressed in formulae, the scribe hasn&#8217;t bothered in this example.    To draw the nefer sign, I usually start with the downward stroke, loop it around to make a squat little jar shape for it to stand on, cross the upright like a Roman t (I usually cross it twice, as the Egyptians often did, too) and then put in the details on the jar shape:  a little crescent above, and a little loop below.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of examples of the real hieroglyph, one a sculpted relief, the other an inlay in semi-precious stone:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-422" title="nfr relief101" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nfr-relief101.jpg" alt="nfr relief101" width="136" height="315" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-424" title="nfr inlay100" src="http://susanllewellyn.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nfr-inlay1001.jpg?w=118" alt="nfr inlay100" width="118" height="300" /></p>
<p>You can see the internal markings of the heart carved into the limestone, but not into the tiny bit of gemstone &#8211; too fiddly, perhaps, when you have a lot of them to do.</p>
<p>Again, I did consider putting a picture of a real, gory specimen on the blog &#8211; but if you really want to see one, you know where to look.  I&#8217;m not squeamish, but I don&#8217;t want to put people off.</p>
<p>So, if you fancy one of your colleagues but don&#8217;t know how to tell them, you can write the hieroglyph for beautiful on their whiteboard, and take it from there.  Or, if you really loathe them but are forced to write the offering formula on their birthday card because you&#8217;ve done it for yourself, you can console yourself that what you&#8217;re drawing for them is something really gory.  Fill in those details with relish!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O periódico &#8220;Focus Storia&#8221; publicou em sua edição de novembro o trabalho de dois italianos, que se dedicaram à reconstrução do busto da rainha/deusa egípcia Nefertiti, a qual teria sido dotada de uma beleza ímpar.</p>
<p>A imagem que cultivávamos de Nefertiti, até então, é o busto mantido pelo Neues Museum, em Berlim, na Alemanha, o qual, em razão dos bombardeios sofridos na 2ª Guerra Mundial, permaneceu fechado por 70 anos, até ser reaberto ao público em 2009.</p>
<p>O estudo foi baseado em tomografias realizadas no próprio busto existente em Berlim. O resultado é a imagem abaixo, com Nefertiti cultivando um olhar mais meigo, e com algumas rugas no rosto.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-123" title="Nefertiti" src="http://alvedrio.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/nefertiti.jpg" alt="Busto reconstruído da rainha Nefertiti" width="386" height="531" /></p>
<p>Não deixa de ser interessante, mas surgem duas perguntas: até que ponto seria confiável o trabalho realizado? Não questionamos a idoneidade dos profissionais, mas será que os elementos que basearam a obra são fidedignos?</p>
<p>Anos atrás, a rede londrina BBC publicou um gráfico, feito por meio de computadores, que representaria a verdadeira face de Jesus. Seria completamente diferente da imagem cultivada pela humanidade ao longo dos séculos.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-124" title="Suposta face de Jesus" src="http://alvedrio.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/suposta-face-de-jesus.jpg" alt="Suposta face de Jesus" width="369" height="250" /></p>
<p>Esta fisionomia hebraica, embora nos pareça mais confiável que a do Jesus europeu, loiro de olhos azuis, também seria diferente da carta (1) atribuída ao senador romano Públio Lentulus (2), que escrevera a Tibério César, então imperador romano, sobre as características físicas e morais Daquele que estava revolucionando a Palestina.</p>
<p>Ah, claro, a segunda pergunta: pra quê?</p>
<p>________________________________</p>
<p>1 - <em>&#8220;Sabendo que desejas conhecer quanto vou narrar, existindo nos nossos tempos um homem, o qual vive atualmente de grandes virtudes, chamado Jesus, que pelo povo é inculcado o profeta da verdade, e os seus discípulos dizem que é filho de Deus, criador do céu e da terra e de todas as coisas que nela se acham e que nela tenham estado; em verdade, ó César, cada dia se ouvem coisas maravilhosas desse Jesus: ressuscita os mortos, cura os enfermos, em uma só palavra: é um homem de justa estatura e é muito belo no aspecto, e há tanta majestade no rosto, que aqueles que o vêem são forçados a amá-lo ou temê-lo. Tem os cabelos da cor amêndoa bem madura, são distendidos até as orelhas, e das orelhas até as espáduas, são da cor da terra, porém mais reluzentes. </em></p>
<p><em>Tem no meio de sua fronte uma linha separando os cabelos, na forma em uso nos nazarenos, o seu rosto é cheio, o aspecto é muito sereno, nenhuma ruga ou mancha se vê em sua face, de uma cor moderada; o nariz e a boca são irrepreensíveis.</em></p>
<p><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0945700882315333"; /* 160x90, criado 30/07/08 */ google_ad_slot = "6681439665"; google_ad_width = 160; google_ad_height = 90; // --><em>A barba é espessa, mas semelhante aos cabelos, não muito longa, mas separada pelo meio, seu olhar é muito afetuoso e grave; tem os olhos expressivos e claros, o que surpreende é que resplandecem no seu rosto como os raios do sol, porém ninguém pode olhar fixo o seu semblante, porque quando resplende, apavora, e quando ameniza, faz chorar; faz-se amar e é alegre com gravidade.</em></p>
<p><em>Diz-se que nunca ninguém o viu rir, mas, antes, chorar. Tem os braços e as mãos muito belos; na palestra, contenta muito, mas o faz raramente e, quando dele se aproxima, verifica-se que é muito modesto na presença e na pessoa. É o mais belo homem que se possa imaginar, muito semelhante à sua mãe, a qual é de uma rara beleza, não se tendo, jamais, visto por estas partes uma mulher tão bela, porém, se a majestade tua, ó César, deseja vê-lo, como no aviso passado escreveste, dá-me ordens, que não faltarei de mandá-lo o mais depressa possível.</em></p>
<p><em>De letras, faz-se admirar de toda a cidade de Jerusalém; ele sabe todas as ciências e nunca estudou nada. Ele caminha descalço e sem coisa alguma na cabeça. Muitos se riem, vendo-o assim, porém em sua presença, falando com ele, tremem e admiram.</em></p>
<p><em>Dizem que um tal homem nunca fora ouvido por estas partes. Em verdade, segundo me dizem os hebreus, não se ouviram, jamais, tais conselhos, de grande doutrina, como ensina este Jesus; muitos judeus o têm como Divino e muitos me querelam, afirmando que é contra a lei de Tua Majestade; eu sou grandemente molestado por estes malignos hebreus.</em></p>
<p><em>Diz-se que este Jesus nunca fez mal a quem quer que seja, mas, ao contrário, aqueles que o conhecem e com ele têm praticado, afirmam ter dele recebido grandes benefícios e saúde, porém à tua obediência estou prontíssimo, aquilo que Tua Majestade ordenar será cumprido.</em></p>
<p><em>Vale, da Majestade Tua, fidelíssimo e obrigadíssimo, Públio Lentulus, presidente da Judéia Lindizione sétima, luna seconda.”</em></p>
<p>2 &#8211; Publio Lentulus, segundo conceitos do Espiritismo, seria a reencarnação de Emmanuel, que escrevera inúmeras obras por intermédio do médium Francisco Cândido Xavier, inclusive o romance &#8220;Há 2000 anos&#8221;, que narra a passagem do senador romano pela Palestina.</p>

Un personaje cuyo halo de misterio y serena belleza ha conseguido cautivar a multitud de generaciones.</p>

C. La revista mensual Gruner + Jahr / Mondadori, dirigida por Marco Casareto, publica en su nuevo número los resultados del trabajo realizado por dos expertos en el Antiguo Egipto: El etnólogo Crevatin Franco, de la Universidad de Trieste y el historiador de cosmética y  maquillador Stefano Anselmo.</p>

Son precisamente con estas diferencias &#8211; un ligero abultamiento en la parte posterior de la nariz, arrugas labiales alrededor de la boca, pómulos menos prominentes y párpados con estrías menos evidentes &#8211; con las que Anselmo ha reconstruido la &#8220;verdadera&#8221; &#8216;Nefertiti con la ayuda de gráficos por ordenador. </p>

<p>In Berlin’s reconstructed Neues Museum, open for the first time in more than 70 years, the queen gets her own room. The exquisite 3,400-year-old bust of Nefertiti gazes alluringly from her perch under a coffered cupola, the star exhibit of what is the last of five museums to reopen its doors on Museum Island, just in time for the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/10/24/arts/24abroad/articleLarge.jpg" align="center"></p>
<p>From the NYT today: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/24/arts/design/24abroad.html?_r=1&#38;hpw">When Ancient Artifacts Become Political Pawns </a></p>
<p>Zahi Hawass has been demanding the return of a lot of Egyptian artifacts lately, from Berlin, the Louvre, and the British Museum. Many critics have noted the nationalistic and political reasons for this behavior, linking it to a stagnant Egyptian government desperate to show the Egyptian people some kind of progress or victory. When an Egyptian was passed over or turned down for the position of head of UNESCO, it fell to Hawass to recover face for Mubarak&#8217;s government.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Getting back Nefertiti would help on that score. So might flexing some archaeological muscle, even with no realistic expectation the bust will be returned. Either way, art becomes a political football.</p>
<p>That’s what restitution often comes down to these days.</p>
<p>Nationalism by other means.</p>
<p>Politics by proxy. </p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Scrive Giuliana Altamura:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nefertiti è un anti-romanzo che alterna il passato al presente, la prosa alla poesia, la prima alla terza persona, ricercando costantemente un annullamento della dimensione temporale che tanto si avvicina a quell’eternità vagheggiata dalla regina e che ci permette di leggere oggi la sua vicenda come la nostra. «Le tracce richiedono una cornice, una mente creativa che sappia organizzare le informazioni in una saga se non coerente almeno in una sequenza di qualche immagine»: è proprio questo principio lirico e visionario che guida la penna della scrittrice nel tratteggiare con delicatezza, passione e incanto il volto di Nefertiti e la sua inenarrabile storia d’amore. E poco importa quale verità storica celò la misteriosa egizia: la Tešanovic parla di lei per parlare di ogni donna, della sua condizione universale di regina senza più potere, ma – soprattutto – per parlare a noi di se stessa.</p>

<em>Home at last:<br />
The Bust of Nefertiti in Berlin&#8217;s New Museum<br />
(14th century BCE)</em></p>
<p>IT TOOK ONLY A few hours to obliterate Berlin&#8217;s New Museum, the brightest jewel in the capital&#8217;s proud crown of cultural heritage sites. British bombs blasted holes through its roof on the night of November 22/23, 1943 and then the flames took over the job. A further bombing in February, 1945 finished off the last undamaged wing. Pitched battles by SS and Red Army forces in the last days of the war destroyed what little had been preserved from the flames, leaving only blackened walls and shattered exhibition rooms behind.</p>
<p>The museum itself had already closed at the oubreak of war in 1939. This means that its more mobile treasures were hidden away in mine shafts and other protected sites, preserving most of them for later  generations to view in a hodge-podge of museums scattered across Berlin. But these seventy years of improvisation are finally over, because on October 17, 2009 the New Museum finally reopened its doors, allowing visitors to admire some of the world&#8217;s greatest historical art collections at their original site.</p>
<h2>Sleeping Beauty awakes</h2>
<p>The New Museum was commissioned by Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1841&#8230;</p>

<blockquote>
<h2>Revamped Neues Museum Finally Opens in Berlin</h2>
<p id="spIntroTeaser"><strong>For seven decades Berlin&#8217;s Neues Museum was a derelict, bomb-scarred shell &#8212; but finally it is back, boasting a star-studded cast including the 3,400-year-old bust of the Egyptian queen Nefertiti. German Chancellor Angela Merkel officially opens the restored museum on Friday.</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a day that took decades to arrive. One of the jewels of Berlin&#8217;s Museum Island complex will reopen its doors. The Neues Museum reopens on Friday, meaning that the entire ensemble of Berlin&#8217;s neoclassical galleries will be open for the first time since World War II.</p></blockquote>
<p>Do follow the link to the full article, as there are some truly excellent photos there. Also, a hertening extra from the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>The star of the show will be the limestone-and-stucco bust of Nefertiti, which has been in Germany since 1913. Reflecting her status in the world of art history, the beautiful object will reside alone in a dome-ceilinged room which overlooks the length of the museum.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s always make me smile to see Egyptian art get pride of place&#8230; biased a know, but in this case I think almost everyone would agree it&#8217;s a place rightfully occupied.</p>
<p>The restoration of the Neues is a major achievement, and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how it&#8217;s been executed, as much of the original structure has been preserved, complete with it&#8217;s battle scars.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Lectura imprescindible para cualquier fan de la cultura e historia egipcia. Este relato, permite sumergirnos gracias a su personaje principal, Sinhué el médico real del faraón, en las costumbres, estilos de vida y pensamientos de la población del antiguo Egipto. Concretamente durante el reinado del faraón Akenatón (se dice que fue el primer hombre monoteísta), y del posterior reinado del famoso Tutankamon.</p>
<p> <img class="alignleft" src="http://www.randomhousemondadori.es/var/plain_site/storage/images/libros/s/sinuhe-el-egipcio-es/sihuhe-el-egipcio/768664-1-esl-ES/Sihuhe-el-egipcio-BOLSILLO1_libro_image_big.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="296" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tras la muerte del faraón Akenatón, Sinhué emprende un largo viaje a través de Oriente Próximo: Babilonia, Creta y la Tierra de los Hiitas. Estos viajes permiten al lector sumergirse también en la cultura de estos desconocidos parajes.</p>
<p> Uno de los factores que hacen que este libro me encante, es que en todo caso los personajes históricos fueron reales (excepto Sinhué). Estamos hablando de conocidos faraones como Akenatón, Tutankamon o Horembeb, o también otros personajes destacados como Nefertiti.</p>
<p> Yo me leí el libro tras mi viaje a Egipto, y me cautivó al momento, en su lectura se adquieren muchos conocimientos sobre la historia antigua del país. En mi caso, la lectura del libro me sirvió para consolidar todo lo aprendido durante mi viaje a la Tierra Negra, pues está muy bien documentado.</p>
<p> Además, el tópico de que la novela histórica es aburrida, queda totalmente descartado con este libro: aventuras, intrigas, ansias de poder, religión, amistad, amor&#8230; es todo lo que espera al lector. Bajo una escritura entendedora  y sencilla, a la vez que muy rica en detalles. Ideal para iniciarse en la egiptología.</p>
<p> Una novela que respira humanidad, que abre a los lectores un mundo fantástico y apasionante, una joya para cualquier buen lector y sin duda un imprescindible para los amantes de la cultura egipcia.</p>
<p> Ahora solo me queda&#8230; ver la película!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">Ancient Egyptian art is five thousand years old. We are all familiar with its distinctive representation and style, and of course, with the historical figures which made its art and culture famous the world over: Ramesses the Great, Nefertiti (below right), Akhenaten, and of course, King Tut-Ankh-Amun. Expressed in painting, sculpture and architecture, the art forms of the Ancient Egyptians are symbolic and fascinating, and of course intended to keep history alive.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-15428-San-Diego-Art-Examiner~y2009m7d29-The-functions-of-beauty-Ancient-Egyptian-art-forms"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58" title="bust_of_nefertiti" src="http://aishasvisualjourney.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bust_of_nefertiti1.jpg" alt="bust_of_nefertiti" width="285" height="470" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In a narrow sense, Ancient Egyptian art refers to the canonical 2D and 3D art developed in Egypt circa 3000 BC and used until approximately the 3rd century. The majority of elements in Egyptian art remained remarkably stable during that time period without incorporating any outside influences.The same basic conventions and quality of observation started at a high level and remained near that level over that entire time period.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">So what, you ask, are the most important influences that dominated the character and style of Ancient Egyptian art? Regularity of features, keen observation, and exact representation of 3D forms are all definite factors. Although we are still stunned today by the sheer beauty of tomb art in particular, &#8220;prettiness&#8221; was not as important to the Egyptians as completeness and exactness of representation.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59" title="Sennefer-Tombart-701714" src="http://aishasvisualjourney.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sennefer-tombart-7017141.jpg" alt="Sennefer-Tombart-701714" width="294" height="269" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Symbolism also played an important role in establishing a sense of order. Symbolism, ranging from the Pharaoh&#8217;s regalia (which symbolized his power to maintain order) to the individual symbols of Egyptian gods and goddesses, was omnipresent in Egyptian art. Animals were also considered symbolic figures. The most prevelant of these would be the cat, an animal strongly revered in those days, and representative of the cat goddess, Bastet.  (below ).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/bastet-large-statue(1).jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60" title="bastet-large-statue(2)" src="http://aishasvisualjourney.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bastet-large-statue2.jpg" alt="bastet-large-statue(2)" width="242" height="420" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Colors were also symbolic; blue and green represented the Nile and life, yellow stood for the sun god, and red represented power and vitality. As stilted as some of the human figures appear to us now in this day and age, the artists in Ancient Egypt show a sophisticated knowledge of anatomy and a close attention to detail, especially in their rendtions of animals.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Tomb art in particular had another important function, one that we find odd today. The painted figures, as well as ceramic figures, were intended to accompany the deceased upon his/her journey into the afterlife, either to keep him company or as slaves to serve his needs. Artists endeavoured to preserve everything of the present time as clearly and permanently as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Basically, we could say that Egyptian art in all of its forms obeyed one law, and one law only: the mode of representing man, nature and the environment ramained almost identical for thousands of years, and the most admired artists were those who replicated the most admired styles of the past.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Next time we will take a look at other forms of Ancient Egyptian art and how they related to everyday life, as well as how gender roles were portrayed. Stay tuned.</p>
