برعاية د. خالد عبدالغفار وزير التعليم العالي والبحث العلمي، ود. خالد العناني وزير السياحة والآثار، نظم المعهد القومي للبحوث الفلكية والجيوفيزيقية، برئاسة د. جاد القاضي، أمس الإثنين، مُلتقى وورشة عمل تحت عنوان "هوارة من العجائب القديمة للدولة الوسطى وحتى السياحة المُستقبلية في مصر".

شهد المُلتقى عرض ومناقشة نتائح المشروع البحثي الذي يقوم المعهد بتنفيذه تحت عنوان "تخفيض المياه تحت السطحية، ونمذجة الواقع الافتراضي للحفاظ على التراث، هرم هوارة وبيت التيه (الفيوم – مصر)، بتمويل من صندوق العلوم والتنمية التكنولوجية وصندوق نيوتن - مشرفة، وبمشاركة فريق من جامعتي نوتنجهام ترنت وليدز الإنجليزيتين.

وخلال المُلتقى، تم عرض جميع الأنشطة والأعمال التي تمت على مدى ثلاث سنوات، بواسطة فريقي العمل بجامعة نوتنجهام ترنت والمعهد القومي للبحوث الفلكية والجيوفيزيقية، واشتملت هذه الأعمال على قياسات جيوفيزيقية ميدانية، وتصوير ليزر، وتصوير جوي، وقياس انبعاثات الأشعة تحت الحمراء، والبيانات البيئية ومنسوب المياه الجوفية، بالإضافة إلى الأعمال المكتبية من تحليل البيانات ونمذجتها باستخدام أحدث البرامج المُتخصصة، وتمثيلها في أشكال ثُلاثية الأبعاد وعرض نتائج هذه الدراسات بشكل مُتكامل.

وقدم فريق العمل مُقترحات لخفض منسوب المياه الجوفية بالمنطقة، وإعادة اكتشاف البقايا الأثرية بها، وإعادة تأهيل المنطقة بالكامل لوضعها على خريطة السياحة العالمية لمصر في المستقبل، وذلك بناءً على النتائج التي تم التوصل إليها من خلال الدراسات.

حضر كل من فريق العمل من جامعة نوتنجهام ترنت، وأعضاء الفريق البحثي بالمعهد القومي للبحوث الفلكية والجيوفيزيقية، وممثلون عن المجلس الأعلى للآثار ومديرو ومفتشو منطقة آثار الفيوم، وبعض المُهتمين بآثار الفيوم.

الجدير بالذكر أن منطقة هوارة تعد من مناطق الآثار المصرية القديمة، وتقع علي المدخل الجنوبي لمدينة الفيوم، وأهم ما يُميز المنطقة هو هرم أمنمحات الثالث (1860–1814 قبل الميلاد)، وقصر التيه "اللابيرنث" الذي يعُد أكبر تركيب جنائزي في عصر الدولة الوسطى.

Fayoum Pottery Ceramic Arts and Crafts in an Egyptian Oasis Hardcover Book

 The Fayoum, a broad, fertile depression in Egypt’s Western Desert, known for its great salt lake, its rich green fields, and its unique pharaonic and Greco-Roman remains, is also home to three very different centers of pottery production. The potters of Kom Oshim specialize in decorated garden pots and other utilitarian ware, and guard the special secret of how to make the largest clay vessels in Egypt, up to an extraordinary two and a half meters tall. At al-Nazla, ancient traditions are kept alive, as members of a single extended family continue to use millennia-old techniques passed down from generation to generation, hand-forming among other things their distinctive spherical water jars with amazing dexterity and speed. In the small village of Tunis, the establishment of a pottery school by a Swiss couple in 1990 led to a complete transformation, and the village now hosts more than twenty-five pottery workshops and showrooms, whose products are sold in Cairo, London, and New York.

In this lively insight into a varied and vital craft, the author reveals the stories of the three villages and the skilled potters who make their living there, looking at how they learned their trade and how they work, from the preparation of the clay to the formation of the pots on the wheel or by hand, to the decoration, the glazing, and the firing, and finally to the display or distribution and sale of the finished product.

For past and future travelers to Egypt, lovers of the craft of pottery, practitioners, and collectors, this beautifully illustrated exploration of the ceramics of the Fayoum will inspire and enchant.

Lavishly illustrated with over 250 full-color photographs of unique designs and rare methods, providing an in-depth look at the pottery produced in the Fayoum

Fayoum Heart-shaped Oasis

While in orbit over Egypt, an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) captured a photograph of this heart-shaped basin bordering the Nile River and the Western Desert. The depression, known as the Faiyum Oasis, spreads across more than 1,200 square kilometers (450 square miles) and was formed from the ancient lakebed of Lake Moeris.

Partial damming of Lake Moeris during the reign of Ptolemy II allowed large areas of fertile alluvial soil to be reclaimed for agriculture. Today saltwater Lake Qarun (Birket Qarun), located on the northern margin of the depression, is the remnant of Moeris. The salinity of Lake Qarun is caused by high evaporation rates in the arid climate.

Farms and orchards fill the depression and line the western banks of the Nile. The numerous small gray patches are villages and towns in the intensively cultivated agricultural areas. The area has supported human life for more than 8,000 years and provides resources to many bird and fish species, as well as the endangered slender horned gazelle.

Bahr Yussef, which connects the Nile to the Faiyum Oasis, originally formed as a natural offshoot of the river. In 2300 BC, it was widened and deepened into a canal to help regulate flow to the oasis. The canal transports freshwater and sediment to the area before emptying into Lake Qarun.

Astronaut photograph ISS065-E-66742 was acquired on May 25, 2021, with a Nikon D5 digital camera using a focal length of 100 millimeters. It is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 65 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by Sara Schmidt, GeoControl Systems, JETS Contract at NASA-JSC.

Treasure with gold islamic dinars in fayoum

 The Egyptian-Russian archaeological mission working at the archaeological site of Deir Al-Banat in Fayoum has unearthed a collection of 28 gold dinars and five small coins.

They were found wrapped in a linen roll tied to a clay seal bearing unclear symbols.

Osama Talaat, Head of the Islamic, Coptic and Jewish Antiquities sector at the Supreme Council of Antiquities; describes the discovery as the most important in the area; given that it is the first season of the Egyptian-Russian expedition in the northern part of the archaeological area. This was where a collection of mummies dating back to the Greco-Roman era, were previously found.

This reflects, he added, that the area was used during different historical periods between Greek, Roman, Coptic and the Islamic period.

The discovery consists of 16 golden dinars from the era of the Caliph Al-Muqtadir Billah (295-317 AH / 908-932 AD) as well as five parts of gold dinars from the era of Caliph Al-Muqtadir. This is in addition to 10 dinars from the era of Caliph Al-Radi Billah (322-329 AH / 934-940 CE) and two dinars from the era of Caliph Al-Mu'tasim Billah (218-227 AH / 833-842 AD).

The Russian mission has been working at Deir Al-Banat area since 2003 where they since then unearthed several coffins and mummies.
