课程名称：古埃及的奇迹 课程概述：古埃及文化中的巨大金字塔、雄伟神庙、金色宝藏、神秘象形文字、强大法老、奇特神灵和神秘木乃伊，吸引了人们数千年的兴趣。圣经提到了其神明、统治者和金字塔，邻近的古代近东和地中海文化也曾对其神似的国王及似乎源源不断的黄金进行描述。希腊人和罗马人同样对埃及的文化和历史进行了记录。 进入19世纪，拿破仑在埃及的军事行动引发了公众对这一古老土地的极大兴趣。随后，尚波辽解读了埃及的象形文字，为学者们揭示埃及文献涉及医学、牙科、兽医、数学、文学及会计等多个领域铺平了道路。20世纪初，霍华德·卡特发现了图坦卡蒙的墓及其华丽的内容，数十年后，这一宝藏的展览成为世界第一部轰动效应的展览，而在21世纪的复兴又进一步保持了公众的兴趣。 在本课程中，将由宾夕法尼亚大学埃及学教授、大型埃及文物馆的策展人，及图坦卡蒙展览的策展人大卫·西尔弗曼博士带领学员一同探索这一古老土地的奥秘与奇观。他将在闻名遐迩的宾夕法尼亚博物馆的展厅中设定课程，并利用众多原始的埃及文物来说明他的讲座，帮助学员们自己发现这一迷人文化。 本课程重点集中在古埃及研究的五个关键领域：1）埃及艺术的原则，2）古埃及语言基础：象形文字，3）埃及魔法，4）阿赫那吞、图坦卡蒙与阿吞宗教，5）图坦卡蒙的埋葬和他墓地的寻找。 本课程旨在配合，并理想地在《古埃及导论》课程（同样可在Coursera上找到）之后进行学习。 课程大纲： - 欢迎课程 - 埃及艺术的原则 - 古埃及语言基础：象形文字 - 埃及魔法 - 阿赫那吞、图坦卡蒙与阿吞宗教 - 图坦卡蒙的埋葬和他墓地的寻找

Description:
Colossal pyramids, imposing temples, golden treasures, enigmatic hieroglyphs, powerful pharaohs, strange gods, and mysterious mummies are features of Ancient Egyptian culture that have fascinated people over the millennia. The Bible refers to its gods, rulers, and pyramids. Neighboring cultures in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean wrote about its god-like kings and its seemingly endless supply of gold. The Greeks and Romans describe aspects of Egypt's culture and history. As the 19th century began, the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt highlighted the wonders of this ancient land, and public interest soared. Not long after, Champollion deciphered Egypt's hieroglyphs and paved the way for other scholars to reveal that Egyptian texts dealt with medicine, dentistry, veterinary practices, mathematics, literature, and accounting, and many other topics. Then, early in the 20th century, Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun and its fabulous contents. Exhibitions of this treasure a few decades later resulted in the world's first blockbuster, and its revival in the 21st century has kept interest alive. Join Dr. David Silverman, Professor of Egyptology at Penn, Curator in Charge of the Egyptian Section of the Penn Museum, and curator of the Tutankhamun exhibitions on a guided tour of the mysteries and wonders of this ancient land. He has developed this online course and set it in the galleries of the world famous Penn Museum. He uses many original Egyptian artifacts to illustrate his lectures as he guides students as they make their own discovery of this fascinating culture. This course focused on five key areas in the study of Ancient Egypt: 1) Principles of Egyptian Art, 2) The Basics of the Language of Ancient Egypt: Hieroglyphs, 3) Egyptian Magic, 4) Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, and the Religion of the Aten, and 5) The Burial of Tutankhamun and the Search for his Tomb. This course is intended to accompany, and ideally to follow, Introduction to Ancient Egypt (also available on Coursera).
