COURSE SUMMARY
1. Thebes in Ptolemaic and Roman Times (February – April)
The course aims to acquaint students in detail with a specific region of Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt
and forms an extension of the class Archeologie a hmotná kultura III: Egypt in Ptolemaic/Hellenistic
Times, taught at the same time. In the first half of the semester an overview will be given of the
history of the Theban region in Ptolemaic and Roman times and of the Theban religious landscape,
with a focus on characteristic features of and local developments in architecture, art, burial practices
etc. In the second half of the semester each student is expected to present in class a Theban
monument of the Ptolemaic and Roman era (topics to be assigned during the first hour of the
seminar).
2. The Delta in the first millennium BC (May)
V závěrečné části tohoto semináře se zaměříme na několik důležitých archeologických lokalit Egypta
doby 1. tis. př. n. l. z oblasti východní nilské delty, včetně nejvýznamnějších nálezů, které zde byly
učiněny. Nejedná se v žádném případě o náhodný výběr lokalit, protože Tanis, Mendes, Bubastis,
jako mocenské centra Pozdní doby, zásadním způsobem ovlivnily dění v Egyptě. Studenti prací na
jednotlivých referátech získají solidní přehled o způsobech výzkumu v této důležité oblasti, včetně
znalosti základní odborné literatury a jejího hodnocení.
