This outstanding archaeological area contains such magnificent monuments as the Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel and the Sanctuary of Isis at Philae, which were saved from the rising waters of the Nile thanks to the International Campaign launched by UNESCO, in 1960 to 1980.

Brazilian Emperor Pedro II in Egypt (1871)

Dom Pedro II, who had an interest in Egyptology, took two trips to Egypt in 1871 and 1876. Here he is photographed in Giza during his earlier trip, seated on the far right of the picture. With him are members of his household, including his wife Teresa Cristina (seated at center, wearing a black dress), a group of Egyptian men, and the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette (first seated man on the left, wearing pale pants), who died in Cairo 121 years ago today. Brazil acquired a significant collection of Egyptian artifacts during the rule of Dom Pedro I, which is currently on display at the National Museum of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, housed in the country’s former imperial palace.

The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University (ISAW) will present the first U.S. exhibition with a comprehensive overview of the unique nomadic culture of ancient Kazakhstan

“…the exhibition provides a compelling portrait of nomadic culture, challenging the traditional view of these societies as less developed than their sedentary counterparts.  ” Oh wow, I wish I could go. Includes artifacts from a 3rd-4th century BC permafrost excavation that found intact saddles, tack and other organic material.
