Anyone at all doing Teti as their case study? (1 Viewer)

[xlandax]

I am looking for other people doing Teti for this years (or previous years!) extension course. Apparently only about twenty people in the state do it every year, and there are four in our class... so where are the other 16? I swear it is the most impossibly stupid case study, extremely difficult because of lack of information. If anyone is out there doing Teti... do they agree???!

Oh dear!

Macquarie University's own Naguib Kanawati is one of the world's foremost experts on this period... Have you tried to locate his book and have a look at it?

Old Kingdom can be daunting - to a lot of Egyptological study, Egypt goes like this:

1. Predynastic - Narmer, all that jazz,
2. Old Kingdom - Pyramids!
3. Middle Kingdom - Coffin texts, democratisation of religion!
4. Hyksos - Asiatics!
5. New Kingdom - Ramses!!!

The more finer details of history can certainly be left out in relation to the Old Kingdom... I'd really look at Naguib's book, though, it's tops.

Oh my GOD landa!!!! I was about to post a topic like this. I really think we're the only 4 teti students on the face of the planet. Please please if you do teti talk to us!! I think we're going to fail case study question pretty much.
Pwar, we have erad his book 'conspiracies' and a few other pieces from him. We also went and spoke to him ourselves and were astounded that he gave up an hour of his time for us!! The book is very interesting. Although landa ran out of highlighter going through it q:
What history do you do at Mcq?

Hahah, you went to see Kanawati?! He's such a cool guy!

I have him this semester for Hieroglyphs, and will have him next semester for Egypt in the Old Kingdom (which is his area of study).

I'm currently doing Egyptology with a few historiographical (history on film, world histories, historians, philosophy of history) units planned. Next semester, I'm doing Hieroglyphs, Egyptian Religion, World Histories, and a research unit, along with Egypt in the Old Kingdom.

He is a cool guy! I was like woah great accent haha. We think he was freaked that we had read his book. I hope I have him [if I get a good enough UAI lol!] You sound like me when it comes to Egypt, nothing is better!! My friend thinks Rome is like a billion times better I'm like.. kay. haha. Yeah we do 2 unit egypt aswell. It's all good but we're doing the same period 3 times!! we were hoping for the ramessides next term but no one is willing to like remember more stuff. Last term we did hatshepsut for personality, this term we did nk to the death of thut4, and next term for society study we're doing teh same period plus amen3.
So disappointing. Ramessides would have been awesome. ]:

Yeah, he was born in Egypt and studied there. I think he learnt English when he went to France, which is where he met his French wife and did some research. Then he came over here to do his PhD. Understandbly, his accent is very muddled English-Arabic-French mix.

We think he was freaked that we had read his book.

I haven't, is it good?

I'll need to read it this holidays for Old Kingdom next semester.

Ramesside period is really fascinating, especially if you've done pre- and post-Amarna.

You see a huge shift in what their religion is, especially in terms of personal piety.

Dier el Medina is awesome if you look at it properly - especially if you're willing to look at the primary Hieratic texts, although its trumpet is blown more that Kahun, which is mean.

Your teachers do seemed to have made a good decision - if you did Ramesside Society and one of the periods, things can be a little disjointed, especially if your personality was Hatshepsut. Since the two Periods are joined to each other, you've got an excellent run-down New Kingdom Egypt, and should be very prepared for uni.

yeah we've looked at deir el-medina..
our teacher is really awesome so it's not too bad doing the same period 3 times just because he makes it so fun to learn. [not that it wouldn't be anyway]

You're lucky to have a good teacher - it makes such a huge difference.
