Timna revisited : egyptian chronology and the copper mines of the southern Arabah

This article studies the chronology of the New Kingdom Egyptian copper mining in the southern Arabah valley, and particularly Timna, traditionally dated in the 13th– 12th centuries BCE. a reassessment is made of the local archaeological evidence and especially of the findings of the Hejazi Qurayya pottery in archaeological assemblages of the southern Levant. It is argued that the chronology of the New Kingdom activities at Timna needs a revision towards lower dates.

Peftjauawybast, king of Nen-nesut : genealogy, art history, and the chronology of late libyan Egypt

This paper argues in detail for the identification of Peftjauawybast, King of Nen-nesut (fl. 728/720 BC ), with Peftjauawybast, High Priest of Ptah in Memphis (fl. c. 790–780 BC2), known from the Apis stela of year 28 of Shoshenq III. This identification ties in with a significant lowering of the accepted dates for the kings from Shoshenq III, Osorkon III and Takeloth III to Shoshenq V, and the material culture associated with them. Such a shift seems to be supported by stylistic and genealogical evidence. As a consequence, it is further suggested that the Master of Shipping at Nen-nesut, Pediese i, was perhaps related by descent and marriage to the family of the High Priests of Memphis and King Peftjauawybast.

Las puertas de la India : consideraciones sobre la indología moderna

Resumen: El presente trabajo pretende ser una introducción al pensamiento de la India. Comienza considerando el desarrollo de la Indología, en sus distintas etapas y corrientes metodológicas, e incluye una precisión sobre estos estudios en la Argentina. Luego de centrarse en la perspectiva hermenéutica, se detallan las épocas de la tradición clásica de la India y las características básicas de su espiritualidad. La autora se adentra a continuación en cuatro nociones que pueden comprenderse como portales de acceso al mundo Indio: mâyâ, karma, yoga y moksha. A la luz de estas nociones tan específicas, la conclusión plantea el diálogo entre disciplinas y culturas como vía para comprender la profunda interdependencia del mundo.
