La boîte verte Antique Prints of Egypt Beautiful Aquatints of Egypt Luigi Mayer, an Italian painter, created, among other travel descriptions, a wonderful series of drawings of pre-Napoleonic Egypt, commissioned by the British Ambassador to Constantinople (Istanbul), Robert Ainslie, at the turn to the 19th century.

1996 Les langues en Égypte Sous la direction de Madiha Doss et Catherine Miller Il nous a paru utile de présenter un panorama des langues en Égypte, dans une perspective à la fois historique et contemporaine mettant en valeur la diversité et la pluralité des pratiques linguistiques à travers les époques. Notre démarche faisait donc appel tant à des compétences d’historiens qu’à celles de linguistes, et c’est ce regard croisé qui nous intéressait. Nous avons réuni principalement des contributeurs résidant en Égypte pour favoriser de réels échanges entre les participants, la proximité géographique rendant possibles plusieurs séances préliminaires de réflexion commune et des apports mutuels.

BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Lost city 'could rewrite history' By BBC News Online's Tom Housden The remains of what has been described as a huge lost city may force historians and archaeologists to radically reconsider their view of ancient human history. Marine scientists say archaeological remains discovered 36 metres (120 feet) underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off the western coast of India could be over 9,000 years old. The vast city - which is five miles long and two miles wide - is believed to predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by more than 5,000 years. The site was discovered by chance last year by oceanographers from India's National Institute of Ocean Technology conducting a survey of pollution. Using sidescan sonar - which sends a beam of sound waves down to the bottom of the ocean they identified huge geometrical structures at a depth of 120ft. Lost civilisation The city is believed to be even older than the ancient Harappan civilisation, which dates back around 4,000 years. Chronological problem
Photos d'Egypte David Rumsey Historical Map Collection | The Collection Sex In The Middle Ages: 10 Titillating Facts You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid to Ask By David MortonImages: History of Sex: Middle Ages Without the Christian church of the Middle Ages, Sigmund Freud of the 19th century would have been out of work. Many of the deepest ideas and notions of sex that we hold today were formulated and laid down in the Middle Ages, especially by the Church’s sometimes confused and other times severe pronouncements. The Church had opinions and laws about every aspect of sex. Adultery and fornication in some cases were sins punishable by death, but for a time the Church actually condoned prostitution, admitting that it was a necessary evil. But despite the Church’s overall opposition to sex, it appeared to be very interested in the subject. Courtly Love: You can look, but you’d better not touch The Church forbade open expression of sexual desire, but the medieval notion of “courtly love” suggested that love and admiration could exist somewhere between erotic desire and spiritual attainment. Adultery: Keep your pants on, mister!
