6- Comparative studies with similar regions, areas, sites, monuments,

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

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.
- The final program

Xth International Congress
of Egyptologists
- X Congreso Internacional
de Egiptólogos -
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.
Academic Committee (in alphabetical order)
John Baines (Oxford), Christopher J. Eyre (Liverpool), Nicholas Grimal
(Paris), Zahi Hawass (Cairo), Yvan Koenig (Paris), Alan B. Lloyd (Swansea),

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

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.

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

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.
