Rameses: Wrath Of God Or Man? |
Google It! |
|
A review of the Discovery Channel producation "Rameses: Wrath Of God Or Man?" on DVD. This is the story of Rameses, one of the most powerful men the Earth has ever seen. His kingdom in Egypt grew so vast that temples the sizes of cities were built in his honor. As he grew older, he declared himself to be a god, leaving the day-to-day leadership of the kingdom to his eldest son. But along came Moses, demanding freedom for his people. Moses brought with him plagues, debilitating Rameses' land with frogs, locusts, blight and darkness. But it was the final plague that did Rameses in, killing all the first born children in Egypt, including Rameses' own beloved son. This is also the story of Dr. Kent Weeks, famous Egyptologist who has made the study of Rameses his life's work. Described as a real-life Indiana Jones, Weeks lives in a houseboat on the Nile River and spends his days digging through ancient tombs. A recent discovery of a mammoth burial site has turned up an artifact so significant, it has the potential to change how the world looks both at history and religion. Weeks has unearthed a human skull which may or may not be Rameses' son. What follows is an autopsy thousands of years in the making. Will the cause of death be revealed as God's plague or something else entirely? [More] DVD Verdict, USA, April 27th, 2005. Buy the DVD from Amazon.co. uk, Amazon.com or Amazon.ca. |

Glyphdoctors: Study Hieroglyphs Online |
Google It! |

A new website called Glyphdoctors has been launched with the aim of providing easy online lessons in Middle Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The Egyptologist running the online course is University of Chicago Ph.D. candidate Nicole B. Hansen who is also a staff member of Kent Weeks' Theban Mapping Project. The site includes a glyph gallery and a discussion forum split into fourteen topics and is looking very promising. cf. Continuity and Change of Reproductive Beliefs and Practices in Egypt from Ancient to Modern Times, Nicole B. Hansen, Ph.D. dissertation proposal, University of Chicago, 1999. |
