The City

Little is necessary in terms of an introduction, since Amarna is one of the best-known settlements of ancient Egypt. The city was founded by pharaoh Amenhotep IV, known from his fifth regal year as Akhenaten, on his move away from Thebes and Memphis to found a new religious and administrative capital city. Akhenaten reigned approximately between 1348 and 1331 BC, and his principal wife was Nefertiti. Akhenaten’s direct successor appears to have been a figure named Smenkhare (or Ankhkheperure) who was married to Akhenaten’s daughter Meritaten. Like Nefertiti, Smenkhare/Ankhkheperure held the throne name Nefernefruaten. For this reason it is uncertain whether this individual was Nefertiti, who may have reigned for some years after the death of Akhenaten, possibly even with a brief co-regency, or whether this was a son or younger brother of the latter. The rule of Smenkhare/Ankhkheperure was short, and he or she was eventually succeeded by Tutankhamun. The core city of Amarna was erected on a relatively flat desert plain surrounded by cliffs on the east bank of the Nile, in Middle Egypt, approximately 60km south of the modern city of Minia, surrounded by the villages et- Till to the north and el-Hagg Qandil to the south. The site was defined by at least sixteen boundary stelae, three of which actually stand on the western bank, past the edge of the modern cultivation. In total, the city measures 12.5km north–south on the east bank between stelae X and J, and c.8.2km west–east between the projected line between stelae X and J and stela S to the far east, which also indicates approximately the longitude of the royal tomb. The distance between stelae J and F, to the far south-west, measures c.20km, and between stelae X and A, to the far north-west 19.2km. The core city, which is the part of the settlement examined in this section, was erected along the Nile, on the east bank, and it is defined by the ‘Royal Road’, a major thoroughfare running through the entire core city north–south.

History Of

В марте 1950 года в Магадан приехала московская молодежная труппа оперетты. Это событие положило начало качественно новому этапу в истории музыкального театра Севера Дальнего Востока России. Статья посвящена деятельности этого молодого коллектива в 1950‒1953 годах, когда Магаданский музыкально-драматический театр находился в подчинении у руководства исправительно-трудовых лагерей Колымы. Приводятся сведения из неизвестных ранее архивных документов и материалов периодики. На их основе прослеживаются события в жизни коллектива, работа над репертуаром, постановочные проблемы; рецензии отражают восприятие и оценку современников. По мнению автора, деятельность труппы оперетты в начале 1950-х годов утвердила Магаданский музыкально-драматический театр как центр музыкальной культуры региона, стимулировавший развитие в нем профессионального исполнительства и музыкального образования. In March, 1950 the Moscow youth operetta troupe arrived in Magadan. This event laid the foundation for qualitatively new stage in the history of musical theatre of the North of the Far East of Russia. The article is devoted to the activity of this young collective in 1950‒1953 when the Magadan musical and drama theatre was under supervision at the management of labor camps of Kolyma. Data from unknown archival documents and materials of the periodical press are provided, serving the basis for tracing events in collective life, work on the repertoire, the production problems, reviews which reflected perception and assessment of contemporaries. The remained photo of the soloist of troupe is provided in the article, along with the first time published data and pictures of archival documents which were secret until the early 1990s. According to the author, activity of the operetta troupe in the early 1950s approved the Magadan Musical and Drama Theatre as the center of musical culture of the region stimulating development therein of professional performance and music education.

Geological Work

Tectonics and magmatism are inextricably interconnected phenomena of the single tectonic-magmatic process. Their scales must be a priori commensurate. However, in practice of geological work, small magmatic complexes often do not correspond to extended magma-controlling structures, due to the notorious complex creation that distorts the geological history, leads to genetic misconceptions and errors in forecasting and searching for mineralization. The urgency of the problem of correct identification of magmatic complexes is illustrated by examples on the materials of large tectonic structures of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East of Russia.

Extreme Flood

Atmospheric processes over the Far East of Russia and the North-West Pacific are investigated for understanding the reasons of the rainfall over the Amur basin in the summer of 2013, extreme by its duration and intensity, that has caused catastrophic flood in the middle and lower flow of the Amur River. On the base of detailed analysis of the air circulation, the reasons of such rainy weather are analyzed, and recommendations for its prediction are proposed. The circulation is described quantitatively by several parameters, as average atmospheric pressure at the sea level, geopotential height, air temperature, indices of integrated air transfer over certain areas, and indices of cyclonic activity over the Amur basin and tropical zone. Prevailing pressure systems are revealed, which are responsible for formation of precipitation fields over the Amur basin. In particular, the long and intense rains over the Amur basin in May-August of 2013 were caused by cyclones propagating along the stable atmospheric frontal zone located in this area. They were blocked by the baric ridge over the Okhotsk Sea, so the deep and stable atmosphere depression (Far-Eastern Low) was formed over the middle and lower flow of the Amur in July-August of 2013 with the negative pressure anomaly > 1.7σ (standard deviation), where the cyclones deepened below than usually (on average in 5 hPa below). This depression was maintained by intensive meridional air transfer in the troposphere over East Asia that transported heat and moisture from the tropical zone. This transfer was reasoned by huge reserves of moisture, latent and sensible heat over southeastern Asia that was formed by abnormally strong equatorial trade-winds and unusually frequent tropical cyclones, mostly going by eastern trajectories because of strong western spur of the Hawaiian High that blocked their ways. All these patterns were presumably conditioned by strengthening of the Hawaiian High. As the result of these large-scale circumstances, the air mass with tropical properties was moved to temperate latitudes, and cyclones converted them to heavy rains just following to their usual paths across the Amur basin.

Comparative Aspect

Introduction: game culture of the Khanty end Mansi peoples has been developed over a long period of time, and it reveals different game plots, analogies of which we can find only in the Far East, Amur region, North-East of Russia and in North America. This allows us to determine the directions of the oldest contacts of migrations and cultural borrowings. Objective: to reveal common game plots in the culture of the Ob Ugrians and the peoples of the Far East and the North- East of Russia with following determination of the time and place of their emergence. Research materials: game plots published in works on the game culture of the Ob Ugrians, the peoples of the Far East, the Amur region, the North-East of Russia, and the Indians of North America. Results and novelty of the research: two games «The Snow Snake» and «Get Into the Ring With A Spear» were revealed, which linked the game cultures of Western Siberia, the Far East, the Amur region and North America, as well as at least three original stories: games with a large number of stones, various types of jumping, and jumping over sledges (narty) of the Khanty and Mansi peoples, which found analogies with the games of the peoples of the Far East and the North-East of Russia. The same type of rules, similar game equipment, and the male character of the games are observed. The author comes to the conclusion that the considered games originate from the oldest male rituals that came to America with Paleolithic migrants and have been preserved in the format of games. The games of the Eskimos, Chukchi, Koryaks and peoples of the Amur region, as well as the Ob Ugrians, indicate the existence of a common cultural space at a later time, but not earlier than the Paleolithic. Subsequently, the unity was destroyed: tribes and cultures migrated to the North-West (the ancestors of the Khanty and Mansi), to the North-East (the ancestors of the Chukchi, Koryaks, Evenks, etc.), and to the East (the ancestors of the peoples of the Amur region and the Far East). The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the game culture of the mentioned ethnic groups in a comparative aspect has not previously been the subject of scientific research.
