course GLOR 1511 and a basic knowledge of Hittite and/or Egyptian language.
|
| Main themes |
By emphazising the written sources at our disposal, the course focuses on various topics concerning Near Eastern civilization (Hittite and North Syrian societies), Egyptian civilization (chronology, relations with Nubia), or common to both (the Egypt-Hatti relations during the fourteenth - twelfth centuries BC).
|
| Aims |
This course, designed to enhance the student's knowledge of the ancient Near Eastern and Egyptian civilizations, aims at developing their scientific approach to some historical questions.
|
| Content |
The part dealing with Near East concerns the internal organization of the Hittite Empire, and its relations with other Eastern Mediterranean peoples.
The part dealing with Egypt addresses such questions as how to establish an absolute chronology, to convert Egyptian into Gregorian dates, as well as the history of the relations between Egypt and Nubia (texts, local inscriptions, and archaeological remains).
The part dealing with Egypt-Hatti relations examines the fourteenth century situation (reign of Suppiluliuma I), the Ramesside wars, and the final treaty between Ramses II and Hattusili III instauring a new political order.
