SUMMARY:ARCE Lecture: Understanding Ancient Egyptian Comics
DTSTART:20181011T220000Z
DTEND:20181011T233000Z
DESCRIPTION:Since Egyptian hieroglyphs could first be read again in th
 e modern era\, it has been recognized that texts recorded on tomb wall
 s include conversations\, speeches\, songs\, and exclamations. The dis
 covery of the tomb of Paheri at El Kab by the French expedition in 179
 9 was followed by the recognition by Champollion as early as 1828 that
  a "Song of the Threshers" might be recognized amidst the other texts 
 accompanying the agricultural scenes\, an identification that was met 
 at first with skepticism. A series of other songs\, speeches and conve
 rsations are featured in the scenes illustrating the seasons of Planti
 ng and Harvest on the west wall of Paheri's burial chamber\, and form 
 a revival in the earliest New Kingdom of an important aspect of Old an
 d Middle Kingdom tomb decoration.
