    Class: 3rd LLE Allotted Time:3 hrs

    First Term Exam of English

    Egyptology, the study of pharaonic Egypt, spanning the period 4500 BC to BC 641. Egyptology began
    when the scholars accompanying Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion of Egypt (1798–1801) published Description
    de l’Égypte (1809–28), which made large quantities of source material about ancient Egypt available to
    Europeans.
    Written Egyptian documents date to 3150 BC, when the first pharaohs developed the hieroglyphic script
    in Upper Egypt. The documents of these kings, their successors, and their subjects, as well as the archaeological
    material of their culture, well preserved by Egypt’s arid climate, provide the source material for Egyptological
    study.
    After the Roman conquest (31 BC), the knowledge of pharaonic Egypt was gradually lost as Hellenism
    infused Egyptian culture. The temples alone preserved pharaonic religion and the hieroglyphic script.
    By 250 BC the Greek alphabets, with six added letters from the demotic (cursive hieroglyphic script), replaced
    the hieroglyphic system. The last known hieroglyphs were carved in 394 at Philae, where the worship of Isis
    survived until about 570. The worship of Isis and Osiris had also spread throughout the Roman Empire,
    and Manetho, an Egyptian priest, had compiled a list of kings for Ptolemy I that preserved the outline of
    Egyptian history in Greek.
