We are now living in an era in which modern media and advanced technology, including satellites, satellite channels, and the information network, are intensifying, all of which are working to dissolve cultural subjectivity and remove popular legacies to replace them with Western cultural values ??and behavior patterns. Hence, the Egyptian researcher sees the necessity of reviving contemporary inspired, where every civilization in history has its own culture and pattern which always reflects civilization and expresses their lives and beliefs. Herein, we will mention about the ancient Egyptian civilization, in northeastern Africa that dates from the 4th millennium BCE. It has many achievements, which preserved in its art and monuments. It holds a fascination that continues to grow as archaeological finds expose its secrets. This article focuses on ancient Egyptian culture through the patterns of their beliefs, and how did these patterns affect the designs of the jewelry, and how we can benefit from these patterns in the creation of innovative designs. Here, we focused on the Egyptian pattern because of its great importance in ancient Egypt. Besides, its distinctive shapes enable us to create new modern designs for this era.

The features of depicting space in the reliefs and murals of Ancient Egypt are considered. Attention is drawn to the preservation of the connection of ancient Egyptian art with primitive art in sacred paintings and to the evolution of the ways of depicting space in secular scenes. There is enough material to reconstruct the ancient Egyptian version of the World Tree myth and to establish links with other archaic myths and ideas about the World Tree in the synchronous cultures of the Middle East. When analyzing markers of evolutionary changes, the most active channels were established and the forecast of the self-organization scenario was checked. The results are presented in the form of generalized psychological portraits and behavior patterns of representatives of the main estates.

The Oxford Handbook of Egyptology presents a series of articles by colleagues working across the many archaeological, philological and cultural subdisciplines within the study of ancient Egypt from prehistory through to the end of the Roman Period. The volume seeks to place Egyptology within its theoretical, methodological, and historical contexts, both indicating how the subject has evolved and discussing its distinctive contemporary problems, issues and potential. Transcending conventional boundaries between archaeological and ancient textual analysis, it stresses the need for Egyptology to seek multidisciplinary methods and broader collaborations if it is to remain contemporary and relevant. It therefore serves as a reference work not only for those working within the discipline, but also as a gateway into Egyptology for archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists and linguists. The book is organized into ten parts, the first of which examines the many different historical and geographical perspectives that have influenced the development and current characteristics of the discipline. Part II addresses the various environmental aspects of the subject: landscapes, climate, flora, fauna and the mineral world. Part III considers a variety of practical aspects of the ways in which Egyptologists survey, characterize and manage landscapes. Part IV discusses materials and technology, from domestic architecture and artefacts through to religious and funerary items. Part V deals with Egypt’s relations with neighbouring regions and peoples, while Part VI explores the sources and interpretive frameworks that characterize different phases of ancient Egyptian history. Part VII is concerned with textual and iconographic approaches to Egyptian culture, and Part VIII comprises discussions of the key aspects of ancient Egyptian scripts and philology. Part IX presents summaries of the current state of the subject in relation to a variety of textual genres, from letters and autobiographies to socio-economic, magical and mathematical texts. The final section covers different aspects of museology and conservation.

This article analyzes the importance of preserving the local cultural values of the archipelago in addition to facing the negative impacts of social change caused by globalization. The phenomenon that society now faces is a very basic social and cultural change. Acceleration of information wave globalization bring significant changes in society, both at the level of surface structure (attitude and behavior patterns) and deep structure (value system, life view, philosophy and belief). Changes occur because of inter-state cultural contacts that are interpreted by the dialectic of new values with old values that dominate each other, which allows homogenization and neoliberalization in all aspects of life including local cultural values that have been the guidance of society. This condition gives rise to spit and a sense of value because society is more glorifying modern value by marginalizing transcendental value. As a result there are various forms of deviation of moral values that are reflected in the style, style, and lifestyle of society. Therefore, the strengthening and inheritance of local cultural values needs to be done intensively in the younger generation.

<p>Abstract<br />This article analyzes the importance of preserving the local cultural values of the archipelago in addition to facing the negative impacts of social change caused by globalization. The phenomenon that society now faces is a very basic social and cultural change. Acceleration of information wave globalization bring significant changes in society, both at the level of surface structure (attitude and behavior patterns) and deep structure (value system, life view, philosophy and belief). Changes occur because of inter-state cultural contacts that are interpreted by the dialectic of new values with old values that dominate each other, which allows homogenization and neoliberalization in all aspects of life including local cultural values that have been the guidance of society. This condition gives rise to spit and a sense of value because society is more glorifying modern value by marginalizing transcendental value. As a result there are various forms of deviation of moral values that are reflected in the style, style, and lifestyle of society. Therefore, the strengthening and inheritance of local cultural values needs to be done intensively in the younger generation.</p><p>Abstrak<br />Artikel ini menganalisis pentingnya pelestarian nilai-nilai budaya lokal nusantara selain untuk menghadapi berbagai dampak negatif perubahan sosial yang diakibatkan globalisasi. Gejala yang dialami masyarakat kini adalah perubahan sosial budaya yang sangat mendasar. Akselerasi informasi gelombang globalisasi membawa perubahan cukup signifikan pada masyarakat, baik pada tataran surface structure (sikap dan pola-pola perilaku) dan deep structure (sistem nilai, pandangan hidup, filsafat dan keyakinan). Perubahan terjadi karena kontak budaya antar negara yang dimaknai adanya dialektika nilai-nilai baru dengan nilai-nilai lama yang saling mendominasi, yang memungkinkan terjadinya homogenisasi dan neoliberalisasi pada seluruh aspek kehidupan termasuk nilai-nilai budaya lokal yang selama ini menjadi pegangan masyarakat. Kondisi ini menimbulkan spit dan kegamangan nilai karena masyarakat lebih mengagungkan nilai modern dengan memarginalkan nilai transcendental. Akibatnya terjadi berbagai bentuk penyimpangan nilai moral yang tercermin dalam corak, gaya, dan pola hidup masyarakat. Oleh karenanya penguatan dan pewarisan nilai-nilai budaya lokal perlu dilakukan secara intensif pada generasi muda.<br /><br /></p>

‘Reconstructing ancient Egypt’ discusses the challenge of reconstructing ancient Egypt. New paradigms have been adopted by different generations of Egyptologists, gradually transforming the accepted picture of ancient Egyptian culture. Moreover, new methods, such as innovative excavation techniques or sophisticated processes of scientific analysis, have, at various times, altered people's perceptions of the surviving evidence from ancient Egypt. An important question to ask is: what can geology and archaeology reveal about the origins of the Narmer Palette? The discoveries of the Avaris frescos and the Amarna Letters, as well as the excavations of Flinders Petrie, are all important parts of this history.

Egyptology as a discipline developed very late in China, in the 1930s, and from this point onwards, the laying of the foundations of Egyptology took another three generations of effort. This late arrival of the discipline has made it difficult for Chinese scholars to make a great contribution to the development of Egyptology, especially since the history of Egyptology has an almost 200-year legacy in Europe and America. However, the Chinese perspective could help towards an understanding of ancient Egypt from a more global and comparative viewpoint. This chapter sets out a comparative study between the two great civilizations of China and Egypt as an important analytical method, focusing particularly on the comparison between the approaches the two writing systems followed when they invented their written characters, an aspect which reveals detailed ideas about ancient Egyptian culture and society.

‘Introduction’ provides an overview of ancient Egypt, beginning with the discovery of the Narmer Palette in 1898. The Narmer Palette is one of a few surviving artefacts from the Nile Valley which can act as microcosms of certain aspects of ancient Egyptian culture as a whole. For the next century or so, this object would be variously interpreted by Egyptologists attempting to solve numerous different problems, from the political origins of the Egyptian state to the nature of Egyptian art and writing. It is important to consider Greek and Roman view of Egypt and consider the link between ancient Egypt and the Bible. The emergence of Egyptology is a fascinating area to explore.

The Sacrifice

Mythological beliefs about the first victim are archetypal for ancient cultures. According to ancient Egyptian mythology it is the god Osiris — the first mythical king of Egypt — who became the first victim having been killed by his twin brother Seth. Binary logic of the mythological consciousness based on the beliefs about conflicts and reconciliation of opposites has solved the problem of overcoming death through the sacrifice of Osiris. The image of Osiris based on the cult of ancestors, twin motive and sacrifice of bull. Osiris personified the spirit cosmogony of Ancient Egyptian culture.

Cultural Texts

The existence of culture is impossible without memory as a supra-individual intellectual and communicative system in synchronous and diachronic dimensions. From semiotics in pre-written (as in unwritten) cultures, all facts, phenomena, events, objects, etc., are natural and cultural texts, as they contain information encrypted in image-symbolic language, which explains the mythological consciousness of the cultures of antiquity. In this context, this article examines the forms of keeping in the collective memory of the basic spiritual values of the culture. The basis of myth-religious ideas was the idea of returning to the origins, of the great-time creation of the world. This sacred time was repeated in rituals, cementing the identity of the population of ancient Egyptian culture through centuries and millennia. The main channels of cultural memory keeping were temples and texts and rituals. The king responsible for the prosperity of society played a key role. The cult of the ruling and deceased king had a cosmogony basis. The notions of the cyclical movement of time, the victory of order over chaos were reflected at all levels and spheres of society. The central model of an orderly world with a dedicated core was a model for social structure, temple buildings, burial complexes of elite necropolises, rites, compositions on ritual objects. Cultural memory kept ancient symbols, placing them in the contexts of subsequent eras, as a reminder of the ancient, eternal foundations of culture.

How Religious were the Ancient Egyptians?

Secular Society

Ancient Egyptian culture was permeated by statements, symbolic and direct, which defined a world of deities and divine power. They amounted to a form of knowledge that was largely divorced from general personal behaviour and which afforded little recognition of individual experience. Furthermore, although practical provision for survival after death was important, life seems not to have offered a quest for enlightenment through enhanced knowledge of the divine. The exemplary life was a career pursued in what was basically a secular society. Our use of the term ‘religion’ for ancient Egypt, whilst justifiable as a convenience, clearly covers a relationship between belief and behaviour which is distinctive for its place and time. In this article, several kinds of evidence for religious behaviour in ancient Egypt are examined in an attempt to assess the nature and strength of the commitment that they represent. The question of whether the populace at large lived by reference to a world of superstitious gesture which has left little evidence behind is only briefly touched upon.
