kmt_sesh Posted June 22, 2014 #102 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Hi Kmt_sesh, You just take care of yourself as we all need you in top form. Take care jmccr8 I'm trying my best, trust me. But if you expect me to lift weights and run wind sprints…forget it! Keep up the good work here. Edited June 22, 2014 by kmt_sesh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladking Posted June 22, 2014 #103 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm trying my best, trust me. But if you expect me to lift weights and run wind sprints…forget it! You are looking just a tad peaked. If you can't do sprints just try to relax and unwind. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted June 23, 2014 #104 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You are looking just a tad peaked. If you can't do sprints just try to relax and unwind. Best wishes. Sounds like a good plan, cladking. Thanks. But I hope you're not comparing me to my mummy photo. Everyone makes that mistake. I've never looked that good to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccr8 Posted November 2, 2014 Author #106 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, I am adding some links that I have been intending to add for some time now and just never got around to doing.This first link is about the origins of hierarchy in Egypt. http://www.livescience.com/47284-how-stone-age-despots-evolved.html This next link is about the lost population of ancient Amarna http://popular-archaeology.com/issue/06052014/article/archaeologists-uncover-lost-population-of-ancient-amarna I have this link about agriculture in Egypt but am somewhat confused,as it talks about growing corn so I am not sure as to how accurate this authors research is as I was under the impression that corn came from S.America.Possibly one of the other members here is more familiar with this site and respond. http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/timelines/topics/agriculture.htm I should add that there are several other links or articles at this site that may offer added background information if you are interested in exploring it a bit. jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted November 4, 2014 Author #107 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Hi, I have some links about architecture and art that I am posting as I think that there were some fascinating structures(other than the pyramids) that were built during this time. http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Karnak/assets/media/resources/ConstructionMethodsAndBuildingMaterials/guide.pdf https://www.google.ca/search?q=dynastic+egyptian+architecture+construction+methods&rlz=1C1CHFX_enCA459CA459&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=gz9ZVJCOAYG0yAT1uYKIBQ&ved=0CD0QsAQ http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/architecture/ancient-egyptian.htm https://www.boundless.com/art-history/textbooks/boundless-art-history-textbook/ancient-egyptian-art-4/early-dynastic-period-54/architecture-298-10740/ http://www.ancient-wisdom.co.uk/constructiontechniques.htm http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/building/ http://www.gutenberg.org/files/40144/40144-h/40144-h.htm http://history-world.org/egypt_art_and_architecture.htm jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmt_sesh Posted November 8, 2014 #109 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) On the subject of doctors in ancient Egypt, I recently finished a book by Rosalie David called Egyptian Mummies and Modern Science (Cambridge University Press, 2008). As much as I enjoy studying Egyptian mummies I'm also fascinated by the paleopathological research of ancient mummies. David and her team are from the Manchester Museum in northern England, and this institute is the world leader in the study of Egyptian mummies. It's an incredibly interesting book and also quite advanced, so some of the physics and chemistry were over my head. But there's also a lot of information on the archaeology of mummies and ancient Egyptian medicine, including a terrific summary of the dozen extant medical papyri. I've always known there's very little evidence for dentistry in ancient Egypt, and it's a well-known fact that a lot of ancient Egyptians suffered and/or died from dental diseases. But David's book relayed an interesting fact I wasn't aware of: in 3,000-plus years of pharaonic history, there are only seven known people who carried the title of "dentist." Seven! I think they must have been more afraid of dentists than even we moderns are. Edited November 8, 2014 by kmt_sesh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Merton Posted November 8, 2014 #110 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I think they must have been more afraid of dentists than even we moderns are. Modern dentists only frighten the bank account, not the pain receptors. Back then I imagine they scared the devil out of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmccr8 Posted November 9, 2014 Author #113 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I came across some other information about dentistry and medicine that I am adding,some of the linked are not solely dedicated to Egyptians but are from a similar time period and thought that they would add to an expanded overview of the subject material. https://www.google.ca/search?q=ancient+egyptian+dentistry+tools&rlz=1C1CHFX_enCA459CA459&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&imgil=0IdJnmOveLGDBM%253A%253BVZFJC4l4TK7YTM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%25252Fsciencetech%25252Farticle-2215769%25252FThe-unique-linen-filling-used-Egyptian-dentists-2-100-years-ago-try-treat-worst-cases-dental-decay-seen.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=0IdJnmOveLGDBM%253A%252CVZFJC4l4TK7YTM%252C_&usg=__IjAJKJib1JQbvC0qtCwquClYFbc%3D&ved=0CCgQyjc&ei=LNpeVLLfB9apyASn84GYBQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=lGPufw3dxMGyAM%253A%3BxHlxaQ0hYonbuM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Flib.hku.hk%252Fdenlib%252Frarebook%252Fgen%252Fhist_dent_tools2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Flib.hku.hk%252Fdenlib%252Frarebook%252Fgen%252Fgen3.html%3B630%3B417 http://www.nature.com/bdj/journal/v206/n8/full/sj.bdj.2009.309.html http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/timelines/topics/medicine.htm jmccr8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted November 9, 2014 Author #114 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have some links to add about ancient Egyptian mathematics that I think are relevant to the earlier links that I gave about architecture. http://www.thegreatpyramidofgiza.ca/book/TheGreatPyramidofGIZA.pdf https://ia600500.us.archive.org/5/items/ArchitectureAndMathematicsInAncientEgypt/ArchitectureAndMathematicsInAncientEgypt.pdf http://aaatec.org/documents/article/sak1.pdf http://www.rhodes.aegean.gr/maa_journal/5_Magli.pdf http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1317869/1/290085.pdf https://www.fig.net/pub/cairo/papers/wshs_02/wshs02_02_paulson.pdf I do have another link that I would like to post but promised Cambridge publishing that I wouldn't,however I did not promise that I wouldn't give it to someone on a PM if they were interested and wanted to read the material.The book is "Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt" by Corinna Rossi I personally thought that it was worth the read. jmccr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, that one's in my own Amazon Wish List. A good friend of mine is a professor of advanced mathematics and she also happens to be an Egyptophile such as I, and she personally recommended the Rossi book to me. LOL Are you serious? Cambridge might take issue with this? I don't see how there is possibly any legal issue with this, and for pete's sake it's free advertising. Or are you talking about posting a link that provides a lot of free content from the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccr8 Posted November 10, 2014 Author #116 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi Kmt_sesh. It's actually a link for a pdf of the complete book which is why I said I wouldn't post it,I did post the approved link in Cladkings thread as I thought that it might be of some use for him in understanding the ancient Egyptians .well maybe not. jmccr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the PDF got out there, then? If Cambridge itself didn't do it, did someone scan and rebuild the entire book digitally? I could see how Cambridge would frown on that. Any such route, if not approved by the publisher, directly interferes with copyright law. I personally don't like it. But I won't tell. Give me fifty bucks and mum's the word.
