  4. What Do You Do For A Living?

    in Hora Postilla Thermae

    Posted 

    I wonder how you would make a living (give an estimate) as an archeologist. Also if you were one, how would life be? Does it require lots of traveling.

     

    Oh, yes. A lot of travelings and very interesting and very hard job and have nothing to do with Indiana Johns. :lol:

     

    Hopefully next september i'll be enrolled upon an archaeology degree and i can only hope that it'll lead onto a career in archaeology. Laboratory work preferred.

     

    Where are you going to study? :)

    at least I'll be remembered!

     

    Maybe you want to achieve the fame of Spartacus? :) But you may become notorious here.

     

    Being such a young and innocent citizen (i.e. not having seen the "dark side of UNRV"), i remain loyal to the admins

  17. Excavations For Students

    in Archaeological News: Rome

    Posted

    Start sending emails to archaeology professors at universities throughout Europe. Most professors are eager to help students who show interest and initiative.

     

    Really good advise. I did so. Then I was agreed for formal talks to the University and I'll have good practic work in summer. But not all professors like to help to foreign students. If you haven't any archaeological practic before you must be very inquisitive student when talk with professors. Browse University's sites and you can find information about plans for digs.

    It is depend on where are you from. I came to agreement with one of the universities myself. You must know about any excavations for students and argue why you may take part in excavations.

    I dont know where are you from and it is hard for me to understand what excavations need for you really.

    I think the students of classic archaeology must have any practic. Or your college (or anything else) cannot give any summer job for the students? :D

  23. Religion Of Egypt

    in Templum Romae - Temple of Rome

    Posted

    After the Greek conquest, the new city of Alexandria became the centre of Egyptian religious life, and indeed of the religious life of the whole Hellenic world. Eventually in Egypt the hellenic pharaohs decided to produce a deity that would be acceptable to both the local Egyptian population, and the influx of hellenic visitors, to bring the two groups together, rather than allow a source of rebellion to grow.

    Thus Osiris was identified explicitly with Apis, really an aspect of Ptah, who had already been identified as Osiris by this point, and a syncretism of the two was created, known as Serapis, and depicted as a standard Greek god.

    A great temple, the Serapeum, was set up by Ptolemy I at which a sort of trinity of gods was worshipped. There were Serapis (who was Osiris-Apis rechristened), Isis and Horus. There were not regarded as separate gods but as three aspects of one god, and Serapis was identified with the Greek Zeus, the Roman Jupiter and the Persian sun-god.

    This worship spread wherever the Hellenic influence extended, even into North India and Western China. The idea of immortality, an immortality of compensations and consolation, was eagerly received by a world in which the common life was hopelessly wretched. Serapis was called
