This volume reflects the most recent state of research on ancient
Egypt presented and discussed at the international conference
Current Research in Egyptology XVII, May 2016. Nine papers are
arranged in chronological order covering the wide time span from
the Predynastic till the Greco-Roman Period, with the remaining
five considering more general thematic, theoretical, and
cross-cultural topics. Papers re-examine the archives from early
excavations of Predynastic tombs in the light of modern research;
discuss various types of object from different periods; consider
the roles of travelling artists, regional artistic schools styles,
and the mobility of ancient high-skilled craftsmen. Thematic,
theoretical, and cross-cultural papers consider the relation of
gods, cosmic sacredness, and fertility beliefs; take a comparative
approach to cultural identity extracted from narrative poetry of
Greek and Egyptian origin; the inclusion of Egyptian musical
elements incorporated into Greek traditions and the analysis of
artifacts from the Egyptian collection of Zagreb, illustrating the
range of information that essentially unprovenanced objects may
have for future research.
