Aksum and Nubia
Author: George Hatke
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 081476066X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Aksum and Nubia assembles and analyzes the textual and archaeological evidence of interaction between Nubia and the Ethiopian kingdom of Aksum, focusing primarily on the fourth century CE. Although ancient Nubia and Ethiopia have been the subject of a growing number of studies in recent years, little attention has been given to contact between these two regions. Hatke argues that ancient Northeast Africa cannot be treated as a unified area politically, economically, or culturally. Rather, Nubia and Ethiopia developed within very different regional spheres of interaction, as a result of which the Nubian kingdom of Kush came to focus its energies on the Nile Valley, relying on this as its main route of contact with the outside world, while Aksum was oriented towards the Red Sea and Arabia. In this way Aksum and Kush coexisted in peace for most of their history, and such contact as they maintained with each other was limited to small-scale commerce. Only in the fourth century CE did Aksum take up arms against Kush, and even then the conflict seems to have been related mainly to security issues on Aksum’s western frontier. Although Aksum never managed to hold onto Kush for long, much less dealt the final death-blow to the Nubian kingdom, as is often believed, claims to Kush continued to play a role in Aksumite royal ideology as late as the sixth century. Aksum and Nubia critically examines the extent to which relations between two ancient African states were influenced by warfare, commerce, and political fictions.

Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Book Series Student Workbook
Author: Legesse Allyn
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781506183909
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This student workbook includes exercises to help synthesize "Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners" with Bloom's Taxonomy in the classroom, a pronunciation key for many common hieroglyphs, and classroom games and activities. Background: There are several current trends in social studies education. Among them are multicultural education, and the value of using phenomena similar to the learners' life and/or society to enhance and stimulate learning and motivation. These two trends are often mutually supportive and complimentary, as they are in the present case of the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum. In 1994, the AIOS National School Program curriculum was endorsed by the Black Education Commission of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second largest school district in the United States. In reference to multicultural education the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum serves to expand the learners view of the ancient society and people of Ancient Gebts. Gebts is the ancient name of Egypt and the name Ethiopians and Eritreans continue to refer to Egypt by. Much has been written regarding the effect of mass communication and electronic media in narrowing the world community into a global village. In this context, the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum gives depth and meaning to the media images and provides positive examples of the functioning of ancient African societies. The latter factor doubly is important because the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum counteracts the often-negative stereotypes of Africa and its people, and serves as an instrument in enhancing the important cognitive functions, as defined in Benjamin Bloom's Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain. The Curriculum provides students the opportunity to compare and contrast the ancient society of Egypt, observe the similarities and differences, and facilitates the development of systematic thinking in the student (see appendix I, for summary of Bloom's Taxonomy). A second factor of importance is the potential of the curriculum as a motivational instrument, which will enhance positive and productive learning behavior by the Africa-descended student, including African-American students. Also, it is important for students from other ethnic groups to become aware of ancient African cultures and people, such as this curriculum provides. American educators have generally accepted the importance and need for multicultural education as a means of addressing the problems of alienation and hostility, which exist between ethnic groups in America. There are numerous possibilities of synthesizing the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum with Bloom's Taxonomy. However because of time limitations, this brief introduction presents a mini-module of instructional plans as an example of how a synthesis of Bloom's Taxonomy and the AIOS Amarigna & Tigrigna Qal Hieroglyphs for Beginners curriculum might be developed.
