Friends of 麻豆直播 present the next webinar in our monthly series on February 23, 2023, at 6:00 pm EST, featuring Prof. Greg Mumford and moderated by Prof. Stuart Tyson Smith.聽This presentation briefly introduces the complicated circumstances and setting of a decorative program from a late Old Kingdom tomb belonging to Niankhnisut, who spanned late Dynasty 5 through early Dynasty 6 (temp. Kings Unas to Teti). Like many Ancient Egyptian elite tombs, this tomb chapel apparently displayed extensive damage by the time of its rediscovery and looting in 1917 (during World War I), with looters removing numerous blocks and extensive scenes, which were in turn obtained and dispersed by a dealer, Jacob Hirsch, to at least 18 museums and collections across the globe.聽 Although the precise location of Niankhnisut鈥檚 tomb remained unknown for many decades, in 2000 the Supreme Council of Antiquities (now MoA) located and excavated this tomb, finding further scenes and numerous ex-situ fragments.
This webinar continues with an examination of an aspect of the decoration from Niankhnisut鈥檚 tomb, namely Egypto-Nubian relations in the Old Kingdom: Several scenes from this tomb, like many other Old Kingdom elite tombs, illustrate the presence of exotic fauna, frequently in conjunction with little people (i.e., 鈥渄warfs鈥� and/or pygmies), which reflect Egyptian interrelations with Nubia and Punt, which is widely attested via archaeological and textual-pictorial sources. The Old Kingdom court and elite often feature the employment of little people as animal handlers alongside imported Nubian primates, felines, and dogs, with an added emphasis upon the desirability of utilizing dwarfs and sometimes sub-Saharan pygmies, for diverse employment within the royal court and broader settings, including jewelry production, animal handlers, bearers, entertainers, and other roles.聽 The presentation cannot encompass the much broader aspects of Egypto-Nubian relations during the second millennium BCE, but will touch upon further aspects in relation to Niankhnisut鈥檚 tomb scenes and the importation of exotic animals from Nubia. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Stuart Tyson Smith (University of California, Santa Barbara).
Professor Greg Mumford grew up in Kenya (1965-1976) and South Africa (1977-1980), during which he accompanied his parents on frequent trips to archaeological sites, museums, and public lectures in these and adjacent countries. Mumford later pursued studies in archaeology and Egyptology at the University of Toronto, expanding his interests to Egypt’s relations with its neighbours. 聽He direct projects at Tell Tebilla (NE Delta) and Markha Plain (SW Sinai) in Egypt, and聽work frequently with his spouse, Dr. S. Parcak, on several joint projects, including assisting at el-Lisht, Egypt. Mumford has also participated variously in prehistoric through Roman-Coptic period projects at East Karnak (Luxor), Tomb of Merenptah (Valley of the Kings), Amarna and its vicinity (Middle Egypt), Dakhleh Oasis (Western Desert), Mendes (NE Delta), Tell Kedwa (NW Sinai), and Tell Borg (NW Sinai), and has taught at Wilfrid Laurier University (1995), UCLA (1999-2000), the University of Toronto (1999-2005), and the University of Wales Swansea (2005-2006), and is now based –as an associate professor– at the (2006/7-present).
