This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1818. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. Departure for Philae--Locusts--Sail for Ibrim--Ruins at Gartaas--Taeefa-- Cataracts of Galabshee--Ruins at ditto--Temple at Garsery--Arrival at . Dukkey--Description of temple there--Hailed by an officer of the Cashief of Deir--Interview with the latter--Arrival at Deir--Excavations--Narrow escape of the writer--Ibrim--Superstition of natives. As Pococke and Denon did not proceed beyond Philae, and Norden, who ascended as far as Deir, appears rarely to have landed, and does not give any account of the antiquities of Nubia; and though Mr. Legh's work contains much valuable information; yet, as the objects described in it are new, I may be excused for entering again on the subject. I shall therefore relate what I saw in my progress up the Nile above Philae. I had to regret that Mr. Hamilton and his companions were not able to prosecute their researches here. Fortunately I received some information which was of use to me from Mr. Buckingham, an English gentleman, who went as far as Dukkey a short time before me. Having gratified my curiosity at Assuan and Elephantina, I prepared for my voyage; and, as the navigation was stopped by the rocks by which the river is here filled, and the channel so divided and reduced, in the ordinary state of the stream, as not to leave sufficient breadth or depth for boats; I therefore quitted mine, to proceed by land to the shore opposite Philae, and procured asses for my journey. On the 10th of May, I left Assuan, attended by my English servant and an Arab from my boat, having two asses for riding and three for baggage, accompanied by the sheik of Assuan's son, named Osman, as guide and guard; and proceeded through the ruins of the Arab town on the heights above Assuan. The desert here on every side is broken by large ma...

The truly extraordinary life story of Giovanni Belzoni, one of the giants of 19th century Egyptian archaeology. Sometimes maligned as a tomb robber, Giovanni Battista Belzoni - engineer, barber, monk, actor and strongman in a circus, where he earned his title, 'The Great Belzoni' - is perhaps the most important and yet least remembered explorer and archaeologist of the last two hundred years. After a failed business venture in Egypt, attempting to sell a patent water wheel to the Pasha, he undertook one of the most ambitious archaeological projects ever. Under seeming impossible conditions, Belzoni transported the colossal granite head of Ramesses II from Thebes to England, where it is now one of the treasures of the British Museum. He went on to excavate the great temple of Abu Simbel, discover six major royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, including that of Seti I, and provide the British Museum with a spectacular collection of Egyptian antiquities. Giovanni Belzoni was the first person to penetrate the heart of the second pyramid at Giza and the first European to visit the oasis of Siwah and discover the ruined city of Berenice on the Red Sea. His exhibitions and best-selling memoirs made him a major celebrity in Regency London where he was a huge influence on the vogue for Egyptian style in art, design and architecture. In 1823, at the age of forty-five, Belzoni died of fever trying to reach the mysterious city of Timbuktu.

This book covers a broad range of topics relating to architecture and urban design, such as the conservation of cities’ culture and identity through design and planning processes, various ideologies and approaches to achieving more sustainable cities while retaining their identities, and strategies to help cities advertise themselves on the global market. Every city has its own unique identity, which is revealed through its physical and visual form. It is seen through the eyes of its inhabitants and visitors, and is where their collective memories are shaped. In turn, these factors affect tourism, education, culture & economic prosperity, in addition to other aspects, making a city’s identity one of its main assets. Cities’ identities are constructed and developed over time and are constantly evolving physically, culturally and sociologically. This book explains how architecture and the arts can embody the historical, cultural and economic characteristics of the city. It also demonstrates how cities’ memories play a vital role in preserving their physical and nonphysical heritage. Furthermore, it examines the transformation of cities and urban cultures, and investigates the various new approaches developed in contemporary arts and architecture. Given its scope, the book is a valuable resource for a variety of readers, including students, educators, researchers and practitioners in the fields of city planning, urban design, architecture and the arts.

The collective volume Ottoman Cyprus - New Perspectives presents new studies on various topics (primarily history, but also history of art, folklore and literature) about Cyprus in the Ottoman period (1571-1878), offering new approaches on the history of institutions and developments in Cyprus during the Ottoman period, in an attempt to propose new interpretative frameworks and a more analytical reading of the historical past. The book is divided into four parts: The first part concerns the history of the island from the eve of the Ottoman conquest until the cession of the island to British administration. The studies of this part follow a chronological order, and analyze developments in Cyprus as an Ottoman province and part of the Empire's periphery. In the second part there are studies that analyze various particular historical topics, without necessarily following a chronological order. In the third part there are studies on literature, folklore and art. The fourth part includes an extensive bibliographical guide, a catalogue of archives and archival material related to Cyprus in the Ottoman period, as well as chronological lists of important officials.
