Are you aware of how the Egyptians are enhancing their treasures and what restrictions are being placed on visitors to these historic sites? Nevertheless, you can still enjoy a memorable visit given the wonders of the monuments, tremendous effort expended to enhance security and safety of these treasures and still partake of the wonderful hospitality and food fare the Egyptians are so famous for. Therefore, ... Research Essays on Ancient Egypt is a collection of early essays written by the author, Dr. Frederick Monderson, and expanded for a series of lectures delivered, during February, Black History Month, 2004, at the St. John's Recreation Center in Brooklyn, New York. The Table of Contents labels the chapters Introduction I, II, III and IV; Who were the Egyptians?; The Religion of Ancient Egypt; The Egyptian Temple; History of Egypt; The Archaeology of Ancient Egypt; The Architecture of Ancient Egypt; The Power of One; Metals, Men and Materials; The Art of Ancient Egypt; Egyptian Warfare; Egyptian Technology; Science in Ancient Egypt; Gold of Egypt; Pharaonic Taxation; The King; The Conspiracy Against Ancient Egypt; and, Suggestions for Further Reading. A historian by training and Egyptologist by vocation, the author dedicated an inordinate amount of time focusing on the quintessential nuts and bolts issues that contributed to the totality of ancient Egyptian civilization. The first two Introductions deal with the emergence of man in Africa, having taught this for years; while the second addresses changes encountered in 2005 as contemporary Egyptians further modernized their facilities and become stricter about the ancient monuments. Egypt 2008 and Egypt 2010 as Introductions III and IV bring the reader up to the most modern developments in the ancient land and elaborates on restriction now being placed on visitors to the monuments. The other essays are extensively researched, to essentially add fuel to the pro and con discussion regarding the nature and dynamics of the Origins of the Egyptians and The Conspiracy Against Ancient Egypt. More importantly, however, a great deal is presented to highlight and add color to the technical, cultural, religious and philosophic aspects of the Egyptian experience that has endeared this ancient African culture in the minds and hearts of humanity, down through the ages, and still it retains a magnetic attraction to this day. The photographs, illustrations, plans, papyrus art and entrance tickets of temples create an enjoyable pictorial imagery of the phenomenal civilization of Egypt\/Kemet\/Tawi in all its timelessness. This is indeed a highly comprehensive and informative yet easily readable book that provides food for thought for the student, the scholar and the general reader. sumonpublishers.com@sumonpublishers.com blackfolksbooks.com@blackfolksbooks.com Fredsegypt.com@fredsegypt.com blackegyptbooks.com@blackegyptbooks.com","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51677453418769,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51677453615377,"sku":"NIN9781610230056","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1610230051.jpg?v=1750763112"},{"product_id":"seven-letters-to-mike-tyson-on-egyptian-temples-book-frederick-monderson-9781587210020","title":"Seven Letters to Mike Tyson on Egyptian Temples","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52340976386321,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52340976943377,"sku":"NLS9781587210020","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781587210020.jpg?v=1758171250"},{"product_id":"quintessential-book-on-egypt-book-frederick-monderson-9781434313614","title":"The Quintessential Book On Egypt","description":"The Holy Land is a Novel of sorts about some 48 African Americans traveling through Egypt on a Educational Tour led by Dr. Fred Monderson, an Egyptologist, who uses some of his previous writings to engage his people with reading material as they go from site to site. The book is packed with a whole repertoire of experiences of the Tour Guide, from his class notes as a student at Hunter College of the City University of New York in the early 1970s, notes from interesting lectures he has attended in New York, notes from his classes at Temple's Afrocentric Institute under Dr. Molefi Asante, notes from lectures at New York University and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York and historical and cultural sayings as well as lectures given on the spot after each day's itinerary.  The book is divided into sections involving discussions in the Airport Lounge at JFK, New York prior to departure and once on the ground in Egypt and checked into hotels by all the characters then the book is divided into the following arrangement. The characters talk to each other at breakfast, on the bus to the sites, at the lecture after each day's outing, followed by a question and answer period, middle of the day free time, then at dinner, in the hotel lounge and back in their hotel rooms. Each individual brings a different perspective to the group dynamic sharing their knowledge and experiences to make the overall educational tour a memorable one. Some are students who share their notes, others are retired professionals who write and offer aspects of their knowledge from work to play. Then famous quotations are added to make the overall picture one of a spiritual, historical, cultural, photographic and historical adventure. More than a hundred photos are added to make the stops on the tour seem real when a little imagination is added.

The photographs and illustrations have been largely expanded. The illustrations include materials not readily available in regular scholarship, but serves a useful purpose in presenting myriad bits of this enormously voluminous and fascinating ancient Nile Valley culture. The photographs have been updated to include recent changes in the cultural geographic landscape of that wonderful historical experience blest by the sun and Nile River. The articles present an Introductory Survey of general interest topics while the illustrations and photographic images provide the weight that adds insightful and thought provoking balance to a presentation expressing the new view of Egypt.

The venerable and venerated Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan always admonished, When doing research on ancient Egypt, get the oldest materials you can find  Appropriately, the old illustrations justify this admonition. Thus, in identifying the very existence of such old material through photographs, this work serves as a useful and indispensible tool for students, teachers and general readers. The changing nature of Egyptian history is such that one must have all the information to maintain a balanced understanding of a subject that for nearly two centuries has been grossly misrepresented. Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet helps tip the balance towards objectivity providing students with useful insights in search for truth. That is, if One photo is worth 1000 words, consider 600 such images equaling 600,000 words of informative cultural wisdom that beckons come explore a rich cultural heritage. Remember, Diop argued, the ancient Egyptians were Negroes and that the Black reader will discover that most of the ideas used today to domesticate, atrophy, dissolve, or steal his 'soul' were conceived by his own ancestors. To wit, Pythagorean mathematics, the theory of the four elements of Thales of Miletus, Epicurean materialism, Platonic idealism, Judaism, Islam and modern sciences are rooted in Egyptian cosmogony and science.

The first article, Which Way America? was penned during the Democratic Primary on eve of the Democratic National Convention. By time of the National Election, nearly a dozen such articles were published in that newspaper, extolling Obama's candidacy, magnetism, strategy, tactics and successes, from the perspective of one person. Table of Contents reads: BARACK OBAMA: AN INTRODUCTION; WHICH WAY AMERICA?; OBAMA: THE PRAGMATIC PATRIOT; ALL THE MARBLES; OH, JOHN, NO ; OBAMA THE VISIONARY; BARACK OBAMA: READY, FIT TO LEAD; BARACK OBAMA: THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION; THE BLACK MAN: DID IT; BARACK OBAMA: VICTORIOUS; CONVENTIONS, ELECTIONS AND OUR TIMES; BARACK OBAMA: NUTS AND BOLTS; CONCLUSIONS; BARACK OBAMA: A CONCLUDINJG PERSPECTIVE. The driving force that fueled this effort is the tremendous interest generated by his candidacy, and not simply because BaraCk Obama was African American; but because of the suavity of the man, his cool demeanor, the depth of his intellectuality, his ability to learn fast, the manner in which he conceptualized readily and well, his big smile, consensus and coalition building, and organizational ability, and the manner in which he attracted untold persons interested in seeing change come to America and wanting to be part of it. As a student long ago, I remember my Professor saying, Never let a historic situation pass you by without writing about it, and so I wanted to be part of that history. Naturally, as the campaign unfolded and our candidate faced the onslaughts, fire in the belly motivated the effort more and thus the work got completed. As all this unfolded a friend suggested, why not package these historic articles and distribute them for the significance of posterity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52485312971025,"sku":"NLS9781438941257","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53476727554321,"sku":"NIN9781438941257","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438941257.jpg?v=1759857534"},{"product_id":"medinet-habu-book-frederick-monderson-9781438950013","title":"Medinet Habu","description":"The Mortuary Temple of Rameses III seeks to generally survey this magnificent architectural construction from the 20th Dynasty, generally considered the last major building project of the New Kingdom that has withstood the test of time and man, and today able to exhibit the great potential of historical and architectural wonder the structure represents. The Table of Contents reads: An Introduction; Poem to the Temple of Medinet Habu; The Tomb of Rameses III; Places of the name of Rameses III; Medinet Habu: A History; The Temple of Medinet Habu: Another Look, with Conclusions and References, that seeks to attempt a number of things with this important Mansion of Millions of Years. Beyond introducing the temple to visitors, students and even specialists, a Poem praises the temple for its magnificence and defying time. In addition, because of the significance of the tomb of Rameses III, a graphic description, written when the temple was first cleared in the late 1888s, is reproduced because it highlights all the salient features that then survived the ravages of time and man. More particularly, and just as the both tomb and temple have undergone changes, features observed over a century ago and may have disappeared with the influx of throngs of people who go there these days. Much more important, however, this work seeks to identify (some of the) places where the name of Rameses III has been preserved, whether in his temple and tomb, on civic structures, in museums and private collections, wherever, to reflect on how significant a ruler this, the last of the emperors of Egypt really was. Even more, the book seeks to put the temple in a historical context that also praises the excavators who rescued this magnificent piece of divinely inspired architecture, from a time when ancient man believed in the attributes and actions of a divine being, whom they made every effort to please because their destiny in the afterlife depended on how well, while on earth, they treated their fellow man and the gods, and how they stood before their god. Photographs, many in color, and Illustration provide the graphic view of important features of the temple that would familiarize the visitor and help in facilitating the functions of a Guide Book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52507816395025,"sku":"NLS9781438950013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52749268943121,"sku":"NIN9781438950013","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781438950013.jpg?v=1760351103"},{"product_id":"where-are-the-kamite-kings-book-frederick-monderson-9781610230025","title":"Where are the Kamite Kings?","description":"WHERE ARE THE KAMITE KINGS Have you ever wondered 'Where are the Kamite Kings?' and 'Where have they left evidence of their existence?' Are you in need of a Short History of Ancient Egypt from the Prehistoric to Late Periods? If perhaps you have been to Egypt before, can photographic images help remind you of the wonderful sites you encountered on that memorable outing? If not, can these photographs entice you to hurriedly go on that visit? Where are the Kamite Kings? is written within the context of exploring locations across the historical landscape where respective kings have left evidence of their names. Though time and man have destroyed much, sufficient remains still permit painting a cohesive history of Egypt. The Table of Contents reads: Introduction; Predynastic Kemet\/Egypt; The Archaic Period I; The Archaic Period II; Methodology I; Methodology II; The Old Kingdom; The First Intermediate Period; Science; The Middle Kingdom; New Kingdom: Politics, Priesthood, Culture and Architecture; The New Kingdom and the Eighteenth Dynasty; The Nineteenth Dynasty; The Great Temple of Karnak; The Temple of Luxor; The Ramesseum of Rameses II; Medinet Habu Temple of Rameses III; The Tomb of Seti I; The Tomb of Rekhmara; and The Ethiopian Ascendency. Thus, beginning in the Prehistoric Badarian, Amratian and Gerzean or Naqada I and II culture sequence, kings from Narmer to the Ethiopians have been identified in graphics and images. Places where kings' names have survived in civil areas, religious and mortuary structures, on papyri, etc., have been pointed out. First and foremost, the author holds, the rise of civilization in Egypt is traceable to antecedents in Upper Egypt and Nubia\/Ethiopia\/Central Africa from which the Nile's cultural effluence flowed. Second, and equally interesting, the author recognizes the potency of names and naming. Modern 19th Century scholarship on Egypt emphasized Graeco-Roman names, as for example, Egypt for Kemet; Cheops, Chephren and Mycerenius for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure; Diospolis Parva and Thebes for Waset; Amenophis for Amenhotep; and Tuthmosis for Thutmose; such was a skillful attempt in the overall conspiracy to move Egypt out of Africa and Africans out of Egypt. Since the present work ends with the Ethiopians, Graeco-Roman names are not apropos, except where reference is made to such temples as Isis, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Esneh, etc. Still, photographs, plans and illustrations are included, enhancing the visual image of the wide diversity of the culture, created by these Kamite Kings. Therefore, in answer to the title, 'Where are the Kamite Kings?', this work provides some of the answers while recognizing a whole lot more could have been included, since much of the culture's artifacts are dispersed globally. Thus, brevity dictates this effort be confined to the physical borders of Egypt, though reference is made to foreign places and collections where Kamite or Egyptian artifacts are held. This work could therefore be useful to the general reader, student and expert alike. sumonpublishers.com@sumonpublishers.com fredsegypt.com@fredsegypt.com blackfolksbooks.com@blackfolksbooks.com blackegyptbooks.com@blackegyptbooks.com","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52752832004369,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752832758033,"sku":"NIN9781610230025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781610230025.jpg?v=1763562834"},{"product_id":"intrigue-through-time-book-frederick-monderson-9781610230179","title":"Intrigue Through Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of American cliches and historic landmarks in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Washington, DC., I\u003cb\u003eNTRIGUE THROUGH TIME\u003c\/b\u003e is a wonderful read, a page turner and an exciting foray into antique dealings and an aspiring love relationship that unfolds amidst intrigue and excitement in a New York setting\u003cb\u003e LADIES\u003c\/b\u003e, have you ever looked for true love and couldn't find it then been floored by a handsome, dynamic and available young gentleman suddenly on the scene?
