Abstract:

Abstract A recently discovered inscription on an ancient Egyptian ointment jar mentions the heliacal rising of Sirius. In the time of the early Pharaohs, this specific astronomical event marked the beginning of the Egyptian New Year and originally the annual return of the Nile flood, making it of great ritual importance. Since the Egyptian civil calendar of 365 days permanently shifted one day in four years in comparison to the stars due to the lack of intercalation, the connection of a date from the Egyptian civil calendar with the heliacal rising of Sothis is vitally important for the reconstruction of chronology. The new Sothis date from the Old Kingdom (3rd–6th Dynasties) in combination with other astronomical data and radiocarbon dating re-calibrates the chronology of ancient Egypt and consequently the dating of the Pyramids. A chronological model for Dynasties 3 to 6 constructed on the basis of calculated astronomical data and contemporaneously documented year dates of Pharaohs is presented.

Abstract:

Summary Egyptologists have paid much attention to inscribed administrative seals and their impressions. By contrast, the so-called figure seals, which render no or hardly any text, but instead use icons and signs inspired on hieroglyphs which however yield no coherent sense, have received far less attention. Usually this material is related to the lower strata of society. According to current interpretations, it is rooted in the Egyptian culture of the later Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period. The phenomenon would be a corollary of the decreasing prominence of central state authority in this era. Proceeding from a number of recent early Old Kingdom finds from al-Shaykh Saʽīd/Wādī Zabaydā, the present article argues that a) figure seals were continually in use from the late Predynastic until the late Old Kingdom and b) different from what is commonly assumed, stamp seals were in existence long before the late Old Kingdom. The article challenges the relationship between these object categories and developments specifically in late Old Kingdom Egypt.

Abstract:

The present study concerns a longue durée evolution of the ancient Egyptian Snw.ty from the time of its foundation during the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom (ca 2600–1650 BC). During this time, Snw.ty was the apex of the royal grain management as an important royal tool and intermediary between the producers and receivers of the grain. The objective of this study is to determine how Snw.ty was used during this time and how its operations transformed with respect to changing royal administration and policies. The analysis is based on observation of term’s use transformations which might be indicative of its changing sense, as found in written documents referring to both Snw.ty and related Snw.wt installations.

Abstract:

An archaeological investigation of the Old Kingdom town of Buhen in 1962 revealed an ancient copper ‘factory’, some copper ore fragments from which have been examined by modern analytical methods. The results show that the main copper-bearing mineral in the ore is malachite but this has been extensively altered (in situ) to the green copper chloride, atacamite. The ore also contains a very high proportion of gold. The mineralogy of the ‘Buhen’ ore has been compared with known copper ores from Egypt and Northern Sudan. These other ores either do not match the Buhen specimens or they occur very long distances from the town. The only mining activity close to Buhen was at the gold mines of Kush, some of which were on the Nile immediately up-stream of the town and were worked in Middle Kingdom times. No mineralogical details of the Kush ores are known but it is possible in view of their location, and also because of the high proportion of gold found in the Buhen specimens, that it was the Kush ores which were used, in the Old Kingdom, for the extraction of copper.

Abstract:

Plantation agriculture differed from annual arable farming because of the need for investment in land development and for a perennial water supply. The typical orchard, a small walled plot containing a standing water source, is widely attested in the textual and pictorial record at all periods of Egyptian history. Differences in water management between plantation and seasonal crop cultivation are important for the history of irrigation and water control in ancient Egypt. Changes in the terminology for types of land in the New Kingdom may reflect the development of large-scale plantation agriculture in the Fayum and the Delta, which implies the use of seasonal, canal-fed rather than basin flooding of the land. It may also reflect the expansion of fully-controlled basin irrigation into previously under-developed areas. In appearance, organization, working practices, and economic role, the individual orchard changed little between the Old Kingdom and the Roman period. However, the development of plantation districts and the associated habits of water control provide a model for land development in general during the pharaonic period, and the basis for perennial irrigation in the post-pharaonic period.

Abstract:

As did Greek and Roman temples, Egyptian temples preserved collections of valuable objects or nouophores, i.e. ‘bearers of meaning’ (I). Two main types of nouophores can be distinguished in Egyptian temples (II): statues displayed in the temple (III), and ritual objects of costly materials stored in special chambers (IV). An examination of these collections suggests that the Egyptian temple functioned as an institution to collect and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient Egypt (V).

Abstract:

This study aims to determine whether current work on burial practices In early Egypt accurately reflects the evidence uncovered at Egyptian cemeteries since the 1890s. Two methods are employed: firstly an analysis of the written findings on a series of representative 'sample' sites across Egypt, and the evidence for burial practices within them; and secondly an indepth analysis of one region (Badari) which contains burials spanning the entire period, in which each individual grave is examined. The first method allows a comparative study of sites across the country, whilst the second allows a statistical approach to be used in the hope of ascertaining the frequency of particular funerary features (such as the position of the body, the treatment of the body, multiple and single burials, and the use of particular funerary objects).

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how the burial chamber of the 8th Dynasty pyramid of king Qakare Ibi at Saqqara in Egypt (c. 2109-2107 B.C.) was inscribed. It uses a holistic approach to focus on the textual programme and its unusual aspects in comparison to older pyramids. In doing so, it addresses issues of textual transmission and of scribal practice in the process of inscribing the walls of subterranean chambers in pyramids. The aim is to contextualise the texts of Ibi within the Memphite tradition of Pyamid Texts and the development of mortuary literature on different media from the late third millennium BCE Old Kingdom to the Middle Kingdom in the early second millennium BCE. The first chapter presents the background to this research and information on king Ibi and his pyramid. The second chapter treats research on the arrangement of the texts on the walls of subterranean chambers of royal pyramids of kings and queens and compares the layout of the texts in the pyramid of Ibi with older pyramids. It then discusses in detail one section on the east wall of Ibi, where the order of spells diverges from other transmitted sequences. The unusual combination of spells and the practice of shortening spells is investigated further in the third chapter, where two sections of texts on the south wall are analysed. The fourth chapter explores garbled texts and discusses processes of copying and inscribing the texts onto the walls of pyramids. The fifth chapter analyses the modifications of the writing system in pyramids, especially the mutilation of hieroglyphs, and how this practice relates to the tradition of altering signs in pyramids. Finally, the sixth chapter synthesises the results of the preceding chapters in two sections. The first section summarises the process of inscribing pyramids and contextualises aspects of scribal practices within it. The second section concludes the thesis with a discussion of the features of the textual programme of Ibi and of how it relates to the broader transmission of mortuary literature.

Abstract:

The late New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period (1215-650 BC) have been, and continue to be, interpreted as periods of decline and dramatic change within ancient Egyptian history. This thesis challenges such views through an analysis of those interpretations and the evidence used to support them. In so doing I have evaluated if these periods do reflect a decline from previous periods and if the changes were as all-encompassing as previously suggested. In order to carry out this evaluation three key processes have been examined through detailed analysis of related datasets. These will establish the complexity of the periods, and the potential for nuance within specific datasets which is masked by the current descriptions. Reference has also been made to cross-cultural comparisons and ethno-archaeological theories as many of these processes have been identified in other societies and discussed outside Egyptology. This has led to some clarity regarding the complexity of the periods, recognising the extensive level of continuity and possible explanations for the changes visible, and thus an alternative to the 'simplistic' interpretation of decline and decay.

Abstract:

This chapter outlines the diachronic development of and exchanges between central and local milieus in third millennium BC Egypt. The community at court witnessed a gradual rapprochement between kings and high-ranking officials during the Old Kingdom, beginning in the Fifth Dynasty. Increasing explication of kingship in visual discourse hints at conflicting views on the position of the king. Burial arrangements differed widely across provincial Egypt and at court, revealing a high degree of social diversity. Funerary culture revolved around the establishment of social relationships and social memory, whereas ideas about life in the netherworld were rarely expressed. The majority of preserved settlements in the Old Kingdom were planned by the state. Urbanism was weakly developed compared to other early complex states. The spiritual center of provincial towns was community shrines. Their material culture exhibits a mixture of central and local features, typical of “little traditions.” The shrines served as power bases for courtiers, sent out in the late Old Kingdom by the government to establish royal power permanently in the hinterland. The history of shrines and local elites differed across the country. In the long run, local temples emerged as the economic and ideological interface between provincial communities and the crown. Temples and towns coevolved toward the New Kingdom, at which time Egyptian society had a more urban outlook.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the vivid, dynamic, and multifaceted political history of the Old Kingdom of Egypt (twenty-sixth to twenty-second centuries BC). It focuses in particular on the evolution of Egyptian society and the role of state offices and bureaucracy in defining social status. The chapter surveys the available sources and environmental constraints, including the cyclical Nile floods, before analyzing the competition for status that drove social and political change, with a particular focus on the construction of funerary monuments. The chapter pays equal attention to the royal family and the other elites of the Old Kingdom. The state’s development is contextualized in external factors such as the constantly changing environment.

Abstract:

Imperial expansion was rather exceptional in pharaonic Egypt, mostly limited to the second half of the second millennium BCE. The reasons behind the conquest of the southern Levant and northern Sudan are related to several factors: the emergence of nearby states whose interests might collide with those of Egypt; the development of a dense network of international exchanges encompassing the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East, in which Egypt was ideally located to control much of the supply of African gold, ivory, and precious items; and control over the circuits through which these goods circulated, both at their origin and at their arrival points. However, imperial expansion was hardly an Egyptian unilateral affair, as it should cope with the interests of the elites of the conquered areas as well as with those of emerging actors in Egyptian society (army, traders) in order to ensure a durable domination.

The article is devoted to the capital of the United Kingdom. The description is based on a comparison of information about London in the past and modern London. It helps you to see the history of the capital of the United Kingdom in dynamics, assess the scale of changes and understand the reason for these changes. Modern London plays a significant role in the political, economic and cultural life of the country. Geographically the city, which is now a metropolis, is located on the River Thames in the south-eastern part of the island of Great Britain. All the famous parts of the city – the City, the West End, the East End, Westminster are quite old and historically significant and interesting. The authors trace the history of the city since its foundation, separately considering the informative names of London streets, its historical parts – the Town, many boroughs, the Tower and Hamlet.

Abstract:

Abstract Reservoir simulation is required to aid in the decision-making for high-impact projects. It is a culmination of geophysical, geological, petrophysical, and engineering assessments of sparse, uncertain, and expensive data. History matching is a process of elevating trust in numerical models as they are calibrated to mimic the behaviour of the real-life asset. Traditional history matching relies on direct parameter assignment based on flat files used as input to the reservoir simulator. This enables a convenient method for the perturbation of uncertain parameters and their value assignments during the history matching process. Given the nature of the input files, the scope for uncertainty parameters is limited to the original petrophysical properties, their derived simulation properties in a specified group of grid blocks, and occasionally extended to include fluid and multiphase flow properties. However, there are key influential model-building steps prior to reservoir simulation related to data interpretation. These steps control not only the values of petrophysical properties but also their spatial correlation, cross-correlation, and variability. The limitation in the scope for parameterization adds bias to the model calibration process, hence negatively impacting its outcome. In an era where ML/AI algorithms are shaping data interpretation methods, key modelling decisions can be revisited to realize the maximum value of subsurface data. However, a framework is required whereby these important model-building steps are captured in history matching to eliminate bias and ensure the geological consistency of the subsurface model during and after history matching. This paper demonstrates a liberated workflow to calculate the recommended parameters that achieve the minimum mismatch score. The workflow is executed through a cloud platform offering compute elasticity to expedite the history matching workflow. It is composed of three main steps. The first step is data loading, where simulation results and parameters are extracted from the submitted ensemble(s). Meanwhile, the second step involves data preparation and cleaning. Wells devoid of data are removed, and scaled metrics are created to calculate the mismatch score. The simulation ID then groups the data to get a field-level aggregation. The now aggregated and cleaned simulation results are merged with the parameters list to create the input dataset to the final step, where several machine learning models are trained and evaluated in parallel. The data is split into training and testing datasets. The target variable is the mismatch score, as the models are trying to predict the mismatch for a given set of parameters. Supervised learning regression algorithms were used. The best-performing ones were found to be random forest and gradient boosted trees. After fine-tuning the machine learning models and evaluating them based on their coefficient of determination (R2 score), the best fitting model is used to calculate the optimized parameters. This happens iteratively by generating new series of parameters within a range and using the machine learning model to predict the mismatch for each until the lowest mismatch is found. The parameters resulting in the minimum mismatch are the recommended parameters. This workflow is implemented on a simulation model built for a mature gas condensate field in the Mediterranean of Egypt. The field comprises three anticlines with a spill-fill Petroleum system, where the majority of the wells are in one of the anticlines. In contrast, the other anticlines have few wells and are candidates for appraisal. Moreover, there is high uncertainty in the sand distribution and reservoir properties, spill points depth, depletion, and observing an explained phenomenon of a sustainable gas water contact in the new anticline even after 30 years of production from the old Anticline. This uncertainty in the understand of the relation between the two anticlines makes the selection of the drilling locations a challenge. To Assess remaining reservoir volumes and identify potential infill targets, we used the ML to study all the uncertainties combinations in a full-loop approach from static to dynamic model and generate multiple representations that honour the geological understanding. The cloud-based Agile reservoir modeling approach enriched with ML / AI algorithms enabled us to generate Multiple realizations that match 30 years of historical production and pressure profiles capturing many possible combinations of uncertain geological parameters and concepts. In addition, several forecast scenarios for 3 new appraisal wells were optimized based on the ensemble of history matched models minimizing the risk of drilling dry wells. In addition to going through the work process and results, this paper highlights the method's practical effectiveness and common issues in practical application. The use of the cloud-based technology had a great cost saving and efficiency improvements, for example giving the existing on-premises Infrastructure would take 1-2 years to achieve the same results that was achieved in 1-2 months and cost saving around 1 million dollars in cluster hardware purchase.
