[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] Here is an example of how Egyptology and African history are taught at a Swedish university: Uppsala university is one of Sweden´s leading universities and the oldest in the country. They have courses in African history, African archaeology and in Egyptology. They also have courses about the archaeology of Nubia. So Egyptology is a separate discipline in relation to the other African courses. Uppsala is the only university in Sweden which teaches Egyptology and they also have more courses about African history than the other Swedish universities. Here are descriptions of the different introductory courses [QUOTE][b]African history, culture and society[/b] The course provides an overview of Africa's historical, cultural and societal development. Themes such as pre-colonial social and subsistence systems, slavery, colonialism and independence are touched upon by the episode using anthropological, archaeological and historical approaches and insights.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][b]African and Comparative Archaeology[/b] The course first describes the evolution of man and the spread of man from Africa across the world. Then, on the basis of African environments and African archaeology, general cultural manifestations such as hunting, agricultural and urban society are compared. Man's way of interacting with and mastering changing environmental conditions is taken up in a long-term perspective with examples from different parts of the world. The course also introduces the archaeological primary material, the artifacts and their context.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][b]Egyptology A[/b] The course is an introduction to the basics of the study of ancient Egypt and consists of four sub-courses, each of which deals with different aspects of Egyptology. The first part of the course provides an introduction to 5000 years of Egyptian history, from the end of prehistoric times to Egypt's incorporation into the Roman Empire. The next module covers the basic principles of how to interpret Egyptian art, and presents the most important temple and tomb monuments. The third module provides an introduction to ancient Egyptian religion, while in the fourth module you get to know the ancient Egyptian language, writing system and literature.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] [b]Archeology of Nubia[/b] Nubia and Egypt have a long and entangled history. An understanding of the archeology of Nubia is essential to understanding this complex relationship. The course provides an in-depth analysis of the main archaeological sites in Nubia and their development over time from ca. 4000 BC until the Meroitic period (4th century AD). At each site, the different kinds of features, e.g. settlements, harbours, roads, temples, quarries, tombs and rock art, are studied in order to understand the function and meaning of each site. An integral element of the course is the study and interpretation of the unique archaeological collection from the Scandinavian Joint Expedition to Nubia 1960-1964 housed at Uppsala University Museum Gustavianum.[/QUOTE][URL=https://www.arkeologi.uu.se/education/Egyptology/]Egyptology[/URL] [URL=https://www.uu.se/en/study/syllabus?query=15710]African and comparative archaeology[/URL] [URL=https://www.uu.se/en/study/course?query=5KA115]African History, Culture and Society[/URL] [URL=https://www.uu.se/en/study/course?query=5EG702]Archaeology of Nubia[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
