4 +4 | ancient intercultural region |
|
interkulturellen antiken Raum ancient intercultural region Explanation: Without further context, this is how I would translate it. Presuming Raum here means region. It could mean space - ie an intercultural space, but that will depend on the type of text. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2009-03-13 14:22:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://egyptology.blogspot.com/2008/11/more-re-conference-in... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2009-03-13 14:33:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Intercultural contacts in Ancient Mediterranean'? No, I don't think so: Although ancient Egypt is often seen by the wider public as a unique, united and rather isolated culture, the presentations made clear that Egypt had many and far- reaching contacts all over the Mediterranean. Not only did Egyptian objects and ideas reach the furthest corners of the region, but Mediterranean people, ideas and objects were also welcomed in Egypt itself. Owing to archaeological discoveries and research, it is now seen that ancient Egyptians were in contact with their neighbours from prehistoric times and not, as is often believed, only since the Open Door policy opened up trade with the European Union. To illustrate these connections, on the fringe of the conference the Netherlands- Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC) has mounted a panel exhibition on intercultural contact between ancient Egypt and other countries of the Mediterranean. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2009-03-18 10:11:54 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the points, David |
