The Ancient Egyptian Film Site
http://www.ancientegyptfilmsite.nl/_img/kop%20met%20bovenmarge%20ah.gif
"Egypt, 4000 years ago, a land of strange rituals and savage cruelty..."
(trailer of The Mummy, 1959)
Welcome to the Ancient Egypt Film Site! This site offers an elaborate overview of motion pictures and tv movies that prominently feature Egyptology and ancient Egypt, its monuments or sites. Looking for those magnificent mummy films, or films featuring pyramids or Cleopatra? This is the site to visit!
More than 930 movies, television films and episodes from television series are featured here.
The film and television productions that qualify for mention on this site either have the story set in Ancient Egypt, set in modern times with flashbacks or travel back in time to Ancient Egypt, or in modern times have an ancient Egyptian object or person somehow influence the storyline in a minor or major degree.
The listings presented here were gathered on basis of careful research done on the Internet, in books and by watching and collecting many movies and tv films. Though I did everything possible to give a complete overview, some films or television episodes may still have escaped my attention. If there is anything missing that you think should be included, films, film news or film oddities, please let me know!

Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic, and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca, and Tablets

[First posted in AWOL 9 July 2014, updated 17 April 2018]

Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin, Demotic, and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca, and Tablets
Founding Editors: John F. Oates and William H. Willis
This new instance of the Checklist is a work in progress. Most of the data already supersede those of the previous site. Previous print and online editions were curated by a board of Editors, founded by the late Professors John F. Oates and William H. Willis. This latest carries forward the spirit of openness and collaboration that they championed. Abbreviations are arrived at after discussion by a variety of stakeholders, including Joshua D. Sosin (Duke), Rodney Ast (Heidelberg), Roger S. Bagnall (NYU), James Cowey (Heidelberg), Mark Depauw (Leuven), Alain Delattre (Brussels), Robert Maxwell (BYU), volume editors, and others, sometimes including the wider papyrological community (via papylist). The quickest way to initiate discussion of updates and abbreviations is to write the papylist, or any one of the individuals named above. Editors are strongly urged to let us know when new volumes are published.

Medieval Nubia
This is a site dedicated to the collaborative publication of scholarly resources for the study of medieval Nubia. It is a site that will grow as scholars from the international community use and contribute to it. A preliminary list of resources appears below. All articles on this site can be edited by multiple people at once, and their edits can automatically appear on the live website, available for the world to use. If you are interested in editing or adding to one of the available articles, or if you would like to contribute a new scholarly resource of your own, feel free to contact us, and we can give you the necessary editorial access. We welcome any and all ideas for growing this site and making it useful to the widest number of people.

GODOT: Graph of Dated Objects and Texts

GODOT: Graph of Dated Objects and Texts
The aim of this graph database system is to create and maintain a gazetteer of calendar dates in different calendar systems used in the Greek and Roman antiquity all across the mediterranean sea. Like geographical gazetteers this authority list can be used to provide stable, unique identifiers (URIs) for each date in any of the calendar systems that has been used to refer to an astronomical day in any ancient source, be it papyri, ostraca or inscriptions. It will serve as a means to search and browse ancient texts by their precise temporal footprint using these URIs in digital editions and database or TEI/EpiDoc XML driven projects. 
Where a clear system of conversions between different calendar systems has been established, dates will be converted algorithmically into (proleptic) Julian calendar and Julian Day Numbers. As more and more dates from antiquity are linked to the GODOT infrastructure, a complex knowledge graph of ancient dated objects and texts evolves. More...

The identification of ancient places with modern sites is not always certain. We have followed the certainty codes 1-4 in Parpola and Porter, Helsinki atlas (2001), and coloured the pins in the Google Earth (KMZ) files accordingly:
  1. Yellow: definitely known location (no "probably/perhaps/possibly" in People, Gods, and Places)
  2. Green: "probably" known to be a modern location
  3. Aqua: "perhaps" known to be a modern location
  4. White: "possibly" known to be a modern location

Herculaneum in Pictures
Jackie and Bob are pleased to announce the launch of HerculaneuminPictures as a companion site to our PompeiiinPictures offering.
We would like to thank Michael Binns and Buzz Ferebee for their many photographs that have helped fill the gaps we had with our own.
We would also like to thank Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill for allowing us to use material from his book Herculaneum Past and Future (Wallace-Hadrill, A. 2011. Herculaneum, Past and Future. London, Frances Lincoln.)
So many houses in Herculaneum are closed and under restoration which means that our coverage is limited in places.
This is our first offering and we look forward to expanding the coverage wherever the Parco Archeologico Ercolano allows access.

Our Pompeii sites www.pompeiiinpictures.com and www.pompeiiinpictures.org will continue to be available separately but the Herculaneum and Pompeii web sites will be linked so you can move between them, whenever you wish.

Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry (MAA)
ISSN (print): 1108-9628

MAA is converted to full online journal free access to whole texts as .pdf files from last year. The process is ongoing. The printed version (2001-2014) is kept only if authors ask for back issues or if individuals or libraries require printed volumes.

As from 2015 frequency is increased to 3 times per year and there is an advertisement page too. The Journal will keep the rapid reviewing procedure following the standard double blind review and ensures swift publication of high quality papers in innovation or important applications and excavation reports related to the Mediterranean region.

Mediterranean Archaeology & Archaeometry (MAA) is an interdisciplinary International Journal issued by The University of the Aegean, Department of Mediterranean Studies, Rhodes, Greece. MAA is published since 2001 and from 2008 is operating in updated format.

LES CITÉS GRECQUES ET LA GUERRE EN ASIE MINEURE À L’ÉPOQUE HELLÉNISTIQUE
Les monarchies hellénistiques, en raison de leur puissance financière et militaire, furent les protagonistes majeurs de la diplomatie et des conflits armés en Orient depuis la fin du IVesiècle av. J.-C. jusqu'à l'arrivée de Rome sur la scène régionale aux IIe/Ier siècles av. J.-C. En furent-elles les seuls acteurs ?
L'idée a longtemps prévalu, dans l'historiographie contemporaine, d'un abaissement politique irrémédiable des cités grecques à cette époque, face à l'émergence des nouvelles...
