My First Visit to Paris *** the Third part زيارتى الأولى لباريس *** الجزء الثالث

Really I was surprised when I saw Egyptian antiquities in the Louvre Museum. About both quantity and quality. I had discovered that what we studied was not enough.  

I saw Egyptian antiquities from the Pharaonic era, ,Romanian era, Coptic civilization and civilization of the Nile Valley ,Upper Egypt and Sudan, which was formerly part of Egypt. The Egyptian department contains more than 50 thousand pieces of great archaeological placed in a wonderful places.

I saw the statues of the Egyptian writer of various eras and statues of ancient Egyptian gods such as Isis, Osiris, Set, and Thoth (goddess of wisdom when the Pharaohs), and a great coffins such as the size of the ark of the King Ramses II.
But all of this did not surprise me because we all know that,and we had studied it in the schools, what surprised me I will write to you with the pictures now.

I liked that our grandparents -the Pharaohs -  were interested in all beauty aspects and they decorate every thing and you will see with pictures with me.

It surprised me to find a statue of a woman wearing a bra which shows the progress reached by the ancient Pharaohs.

My First visit to Paris *** The second part زيارتى الأولى لباريس *** الجزء الثانى

It is my first visit to Paris and I am very happy to be there even for only 8 days.
Many historical monuments are found  here mostly back to the nineteenth century.
Of the most important and most famous landmarks here I had chosen some to talk about .

The Eiffel Tower 

Eiffel Tower 

Is the symbol of the city of Paris and is an iron tower with a height of 324 meters, there is in Paris, in the far north-west of Park Champ - de - March, near the River Seine. Created by Gustave Eiffel and his associates on the occasion of the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.

The Cannon of Breakfast of Ramadan مدفع رمضان *** مدفع الإفطار إضرب

The Cannon of Ramadan is the cannon used as an announcement for the breakfast time to tell the public about this appointment.

It is a tradition in many Muslim countries so that the country's army fired an artillery shells sound at the moment of announcing the sunset date for the breakfast and break the fast during Ramadan.

Cairo the capital of Egypt was the first city where the cannon of Ramadan was launched . At the location of the Citadel of Salah al-Din.

Historical Overview History suggests that the Muslims - in the month of Ramadan - during the days of the Prophet Muhammad, (peace be upon him) eat and drink from sunset until bedtime, He began to use prayer's call ( adhaan ) by Bilal and Ibn Umm Maktoum as an announcing for the end of the breakfast of the day. Muslims have tried throughout history - and with more space and the spatial spread of Islam - to invent different ways to the prayer's call of the announcement date for the breakfast, until the cannon appeared to exist .

The story of the cannon of breakfast in Cairo 

The Cannon of Breakfast of Ramadan

Cairo was the first city where it started at Ramadan. A novel that the appearance of the cannon came about by accident, there was no deliberate intention to use for this purpose at all.

There are two stories:

SOME ILLUSTRATOR DESIGNES

Here are some Illustrator designs .

I chose one symbol and group it in different positions and I had added it to a background.I added then style to both the symbol and the background.

That's all .

I think it can be desktop background. 

وهنا بعض التصاميم صممت ببرنامج المصور Illustrator .

اخترت رمز واحد وكررته و عملت منه مجموعة  ، و إضافته إلى الخلفية. ثم أضفت نمط إلى كلا من الرمز والخلفية على حد سواء.

هذا كل شيء.

وأعتقد أنه يمكن أن يكون خلفية للكمبيوتر .

For this design the style gave thread like  background   

فى هذا التصميم اضفت نمط للخلفيه كأنه عمل يدوى بالخيط (مثل أشغال الإبره )

With different style for the background.you can get different effect .Like the next design .

مع نمط مختلف للخلفية. يمكنك الحصول على تأثير مختلف.مثل التصميم الآتى .فمع نمط مختلف للخلفيه انفس المجموعه حصلنا على تأثير مختلف به نعومه و بعض الإضاءه لم يحتويه من تدرج لونى .

Different style for the  background  gave smooth glowing effect and new look for the design .
 

The same style for the background  with different colour for different taste  

 نفس نمط الخلفيه السابقه و لكن مع لون مختلف لإعطاء تأثير مختلف ايضا . هل تستطيع أن تشعر بالفرق ؟ 

Cloth like style for the background and different look for different styles for the same symbol.
 

 هذا النمط للخلفية يشبه القماش و كأنها من المشغولات اليدويه ايضا و لكن يشكل مختلف مع نفس الرمز المكرر بانماط و ألوان مختلفه.

Primitive life and African dance with illustrator as I had imagined it  .It is hand drawing style 

الحياة البدائيه و الرقص الإفريقى حول الطبول و النار كما تخيلتها .ولكنها هنا تشبه الى حد كبير الرسم اليدوى .

That is the same symbol with some changes and again different style . As you can see I had changed some colours of the symbol, with some changes for the symbol itself .

هذا هو نفس الرمز أيضا مع تغيير بعض ألوان الملابس و إضافة بعض التغييرات على الرمز نفسه و أضافة نمط مختلف ايضا .

ارجو ان تكون فكرتى قد اتضحت لكم و اعجبتكم 

شكرا لكم 

I hope you liked my idea and it was clear .

Thanks 

Hatshepsut ؛ Foremost of Noble Ladies.[Part I]حتشبسوت الملكه المصريه الفرعونيه العظيمه

What do you know about Hatchopsut? 

Hatchepsut; meaning Foremost of Noble Ladies.
1508–1458 BC) was the fifth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt. She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty.

Her Reign

Hatshepsut was given a reign of about twenty-two years by ancient authors .

Although it was uncommon for Egypt to be ruled by a woman, the situation was not unprecedented.

In comparison with other female pharaohs, Hatshepsut's reign was much longer and prosperous. She was successful in warfare early in her reign, but generally is considered to be a pharaoh who inaugurated a long peaceful era. She re-established trading relationships lost during a foreign occupation and brought great wealth to Egypt. That wealth enabled Hatshepsut to initiate building projects that raised the calibre of Ancient Egyptian architecture to a standard, comparable to classical architecture, that would not be rivaled by any other culture for a thousand years. 

Her Building projects

Hatshepsut was one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt, commissioning hundreds of construction projects throughout both Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt, that were grander and more numerous than those of any of her Middle Kingdom predecessors. Later pharaohs attempted to claim some of her projects as their's. 

During her reign she employed the great architect Ineni, who also had worked for her father, and her husband.

[Ineni was an Ancient Egyptian architect and government official of the 18th Dynasty, responsible for major construction projects under the pharaohs Amenhotep I,Thutmose I, Thutmose II and the joint reigns of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.  He  came from an aristocratic family. He had many titles, including Superintendent of the Granaries, Superintendent of the Royal Buildings, Superintendent of the Workmen in the Karnak Treasuries.]

Some of her projects :

*Following the tradition of most pharaohs, Hatshepsut had monuments constructed at the Temple of Karnak. 

*She also restored the original Precinct of Mut, the ancient great goddess of Egypt, at Karnak that had been ravaged by the foreign rulers during the Hyksos occupation. It later was ravaged by other pharaohs, who took one part after another to use in their pet projects and awaits restoration. 

*She had twin obelisks, at the time the tallest in the world, erected at the entrance to the temple. One still stands, as the tallest surviving ancient obelisk on Earth; the other has broken in two and toppled. 

*Karnak's Red Chapel, or Chapelle Rouge :have stood between her two obelisks. It was lined with carved stones that depicted significant events in Hatshepsut's life.

*She later ordered the construction of two more obelisks to celebrate her sixteenth year as pharaoh; one of the obelisks broke during construction, and thus, a third was constructed to replace it. The broken obelisk was left at its quarrying site in Aswan, where it still remains. Known as The Unfinished Obelisk, it demonstrates how obelisks were quarried.
*Following the tradition of many pharaohs, the masterpiece of Hatshepsut's building projects was her mortuary temple. She built hers in a complex at Deir el-Bahri. It was designed and implemented by Senemut at a site on the West Bank of the Nile River near the entrance to what now is called the Valley of the Kings because of all the pharaohs who later chose to associate their complexes with the grandeur of hers. Her buildings were the first grand ones planned for that location .

ماذا نعرف عن الملكه العظيمه حتشبسوت ؟

معنى الإسم : أبرز السيدات النبيلات أو الشريفات.

فترة حكمها(1508-1458 قبل الميلاد) و هى خامس فراعنة الأسرة الثامنة عشرة في مصر القديمة. إعتبرها علماء المصريات واحدة من أنجح الفراعنة، وحكمت مدة أطول من أي امرأة أخرى من الأسرة الحاكمة الفرعونيه من أصل مصرى .

حكمت حتشبسوت مصر لمدة إثنين و عشرين عاما

مقارنة حتشبسوت بالملكات اللآتى حكمن مصر 

في مقارنة مع غيرها من النساء الآتى حكمن مصر، كان عهد حتشبسوت أطول مدة و أكثر ازدهارا . لقد كانت ناجحة في الحروب في أوائل فترة حكمها، ولكن بشكل عام أقامت حتشبسوت  حقبة سلمية طويلة . وإعادت تأسيس العلاقات التجارية التى فقدت أثناء الاحتلال الأجنبي وجلبت ثروة كبيرة لمصرمكنتها هذه الثروة من بدء مشاريع البناء التي رفعت قيمة العمارةالمصرية القديمة إلى مستوى مرتفع مقارنة بالعمارة الكلاسيكية فى ذلك الوقت والتي لم تضاهي أي ثقافة أخرى لألف سنة.

وكانت حتشبسوت واحدة من أغزر البناة في مصر القديمة، شيدت مئات من مشاريع البناء في جميع أنحاء كلا من مصر العليا ومصر السفلى ، كانت أعظم وأكثر عددا من أي من أسلافها فى المملكة الوسطى .و قد حاول الفراعنة في وقت لاحق نسب بعض المشاريع التى شيدتها حتشبسوت لأنفسهم . 

بعضا من الآثار التى تركتها 

* كتقليد لمعظم الفراعنة، كان لحتشبسوت معالم أثريه شيدتها في معبد الكرنك.

*واستعادت أيضا المنطقة الأصلية للإلآهه موت، (من الإلهة الفرعونيه القديمة ) في الكرنك التي دمرها الحكام الأجانب خلال فترة إحتلال الهكسوس . و في وقت لاحق دمرها غيرها من الفراعنة ، الذين أخذوا جزء تلو الآخر لاستخدامها في مشروعاتهم  الأخرى وتنتظر الترميم.

*وكان لها مسلتان توأم اقيمت عند مدخل المعبد، و تعتبر أطول مسلة قديمة على الأرض . واحد لا يزال قائما والآخر قد كسر.

*مصلى الكرنك الأحمر:أو المصلى الأحمر وهو بمثابة مزار وغير متسق الشكل في الأصل، قد وقفت بين مسلتين لحتشبسوت. ومبطنه بالحجارة المنحوتة التي صورت أحداث هامة في حياة حتشبسوت. 

*كانت حتشبسوت قد أمرت في وقت لاحق بتشييد اثنين اخرين من المسلات للاحتفال بعامها 16 كفرعون لمصر ، واحدة من المسلات حطم أثناء عملية البناء، وبالتالي، تم بناء ثالثة لتحل محل المحطمه. وقد تركت المسلة المكسورة في موقعها على استغلال المحاجر في أسوان، حيث لا تزال موجوده ومعروفة بإسم المسلة الغير مكتملة .

* كتقليد لمعظم الفراعنة شيدت حتشبسوت تحفتها الرائعه معبدها الجنائزى فى مجمع الدير البحرى في الضفة الغربية لنهر النيل بالقرب من المدخل إلى ما يسمى الآن وادي الملوك
