EEF NEWS is an email newsletter posted on the EEF mailinglist. It appears
every week, on Thursday. Below you'll find the website version, which is also
renewed after every following weekend (usually on Sunday evening).
For subscription to the EEF, the
moderated scholarly mailinglist for mainstream Egyptology, see http://www.egyptologyforum.org or the link at
the end of this page. The EEF list also has a Weekly Digest option (meaning
you'll get the EEF NEWS email on Thursday and one digest email of gathered
regular mails on Sunday).
Major news items which are of obvious interest for the list as a whole (like
first-hand announcements of discoveries ad excavation reports) are best posted
directly on EEF; smaller news bits (like announcements of lectures, website
updates/reviews, email address changes etc.) are good candidates for being
bundled in EEF NEWS.

The 26th Dynasty was a period in which private portraiture flourished, as the people who made up the dynasty’s complex administration commissioned temple statues and tomb furnishings that express their identity and reflect the prosperity of the era,” says Sara E.

Egyptian medicine taught that an entombed woman faced a biological barrier to rebirth. The ancient Egyptians believed that in human reproduction it was The Man who created the fetus, and transferred it to the woman during intercourse. This ultimately made rebirth impossible for a woman alone. To overcome this perceived problem a priest ritually transformed a woman's mummy into a man long enough to create a fetus. The ritual for this transformation required representing a woman with red skin on her coffin--- the color normally assigned to a man. Furthermore, artisans inscribed the coffin with spells that addressed the woman in masculine pronouns for a priest to recite. The use of "male" color and strategically inflected language had the power to change her gender in the coffin. A woman later returned to her original female state and incubated herself for rebirth into the afterlife as a woman. (..)" URL URL info: English press report at URL "(..) The show demonstrates this concept with a coffin from the museum’s collection (around 1292-1190 BC), which portrays the deceased with male skin (conventionally red) on the coffin’s exterior—addressed by four gods using a masculine pronoun—and with female skin (conventionally yellow) on the mummy’s mask. Around 25 objects from the museum’s collection are on view, including pieces never before exhibited, like a collar with Atum, a male god who created the world all on his own. There is also a statuette of Atum holding his erect phallus in his hand, which is a feminine word in Egyptian. “This is the way [he created the world]—quite literally, masturbating,” Bleiberg says. Other objects, like two wooden statues, show that females are once again treated as women when they enter the afterlife, despite their portrayal with male attributes on their coffins. There are also statues of Osiris and Isis. (..)"
