Abstract
  • This volume Egyptian Curses 2 presents some results of the research programme Egyptian Curses, within the framework of the PRIN 2009 (Progetti di rilevante interesse nazionale/Relevant Projects of National Interest) The Seven Plagues. A first glance on the project has been displayed in Egyptian Curse 1. The CNR Team is multidisciplinary, composed by colleagues of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and by scholar from other prestigious institutions, who has contributed to this volume. During our work, we have felt the need to broaden our horizon involving some colleagues through meeting and seminars. Some of these contribution are published in this volume regarding the Near Eastern environment and the debate on the historical accuracy of the Biblical sources about the Exodus stories. The programme has been developed at first gathering the data of the events from archaeological and written sources, and after discussing the data in interdisciplinary meetings and researches. The first section Egypt, contains four contributions, two on case studies from literary sources and two from archaeological data. The second section is on Near East studies. A paper by G. Squillace presents a research on the Greek sources regarding the Egyptian medicine. At the end, a wide section regards remote sensing, environment and survey technologies. The ancient Egypt, with its rich documentation, is a good observation point to understand the human response to the cataclysm and to investigate the destructive event in its mythopoietic perspective. On the other hand, data from ancient cataclysms can be useful for investigating current environmental problems. Crossing data from written and archaeological sources and analysing them in an interdisciplinary debate can effectively contribute to the knowledge of environmental disasters. (literal)
