Letters between Caroline Ransom Williams, the first American university-trained female Egyptologist, and James Henry Breasted, the first American Egyptologist and founder of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, show that Ransom Williams had a full life and productive career as the first American female Egyptologist.
The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"? In Pyramid Quest, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings.
This two-volume study of the Senedjemib Complex at Giza by Edward Borovarski owes a great debt to the work of Richard Lepsius in the mid-19th century and George A Reisner who excavated there in the early 20th century. The tombs of Senedjemib Inti (G2370), Khnumenti (G2374) and Senedjemib Mahi (G2378) which form the focus of this publication are three of the largest tombs in the complex, located at the northwest corner of the Great Pyramid. Excavations in 1912-13 revealed that the tombs of Mahi and Inti formed part of a great complex of family tombs erected around a paved court, and that four generations of the Senedjemib family served as viziers of Egypt and royal architects over a hundred year period in the later old Kingdom. Voluem one includes a complete history and description of all three tombs. Through the decoration and architecture of these tombs Brovarski traces the increasing trend in the elaboration of family tombs from the end of the fifth dynasty to the end of the sixth. Volume one also contains two lengthy autobiographical inscriptions.
