7、演讲 Culture of Egypt The Culture of Egypt has five thousand years of recorded history. Ancient Egypt was among the earliest civilizations. For millennia, Egypt maintained a strikingly complex and stable culture that influenced later cultures of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. After the Pharaonic

8、era, Egypt itself came under the influence of Hellenism, for a time Christianity, and later, Arab and Islamic culture. Today, many aspects of Egypts ancient culture exist in interaction with newer elements, including the influence of modern Western culture, itself with roots in Ancient Egypt. Langua

9、ge The Ancient Egyptian language, which formed a separate branch among the family of Afro-Asiatic languages, was among the first written languages, and is known from hieroglyphic inscriptions preserved on monuments and sheets of papyrus. The Coptic language, the only extant descendant of Egyptian, i

10、s today the liturgical language of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The “Koin” dialect of the Greek language was important in Hellenistic Alexandria, and was used in the philosophy and science of that culture, and was later studied by Arabic scholars. Arabic came to Egypt in the seventh century and Egypt

11、ian Arabic has since become the modern speech of the country. Of the many varieties of Arabic, it is the most widely spoken second dialect, probably due to the influence of Egyptian cinema throughout the Arabic-speaking world. In the Upper Nile Valley, around Kom Ombo and Aswan, there are about 300,

12、000 speakers of Nubian languages, mainly Nobiin, but also Kenuzi-Dongola. The Berber languages are represented by Siwi, spoken by about 5,000 around the Siwa Oasis. There are over a million speakers of the Domari language , mostly living north of Cairo, and there are about 60,000 Greek speakers in A

The later, secular literature of ancient Egypt includes the wisdom texts, forms of philosophical instruction. The Instruction of Ptahhotep, for example, is a collation of moral proverbs by an Egyptian administrat

15、or. The authors of the literature of the Old and Middle Kingdoms seem to have been drawn from an elite administrative class, and were celebrated and revered into the New Kingdom . In time, the Pyramid Texts became Coffin Texts , and finally the mortuary literature produced its masterpiece, the Book

16、of the Dead, during the New Kingdom.The Middle Kingdom was the golden age of Egyptian literature. Some notable texts include the Tale of Neferty, the Instructions of Amenemhat I, the Tale of Sinuhe, the Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor and the Story of the Eloquent Peasant. Instructions became a popu

17、lar literary gee of the New Kingdom, taking the form of advice on proper behavior. The Story of Wenamun and the Instructions of Ani are well-known examples from this period. During the Greco-Roman period , Egyptian literature was translated into other languages, and Greco-Roman literature fused with

18、 native art into a new style of writing. From this period comes the Rosetta Stone, which became the key to unlocking the mysteries of Egyptian writing to modern scholarship. The great city of Alexandria boasted its famous Library of almost half a million handwritten books during the third century BC

19、. Alexandrias centre of learning also produced the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint. During the first few centuries of the Christian era, Egypt was the ultimate source of a great deal of ascetic literature in the Coptic language. Egyptian monasteries translated many Greek and Sy

20、riac works, which are now only extant in Coptic. Under Islam, Egypt continued to be a great source of literary endeavour, now in the Arabic language. In 970, al-Azhar University was founded in Cairo, which to this day remains the most important centre of Sunni Islamic learning. In the 12th century E

21、gypt, the Jewish talmudic scholar Maimonides produced his most important work. Egypts vast and rich literature constitutes an important cultural element in the life of the country and in the Middle East as a whole.

27、gn elements in art. The wall paintings done in the service of the Pharaohs followed a rigid code of visual rules and meanings. Early Egyptian art is characterized by absence of linear perspective, which results in a seemingly flat space. These artists tended to create images based on what they knew,

28、 and not as much on what they see. Objects in these artworks generally do not decrease in size as they increase in distance and there is little shading to indicate depth. Sometimes, distance is indicated through the use of tiered space, where more distant objects are drawn higher above the nearby ob

29、jects, but in the same scale and with no overlapping of forms. People and objects are almost always drawn in profile.
