The Book of the Dead (BD) is a collection of funerary spells whose purpose was to aid the deceased in achieving immortality through revivification, passing the great judgement after death before the god Osiris, having food, fresh air, and cool water in abundance, traveling with the sun-god through the sky by day and through the underworld by night, and knowing the names of the various gods, demigods, and demons in the underworld, to name just some of the various types of goals that the collection of spells making up the Book of the Dead were to provide. Books of the Dead were widely produced during the New Kingdom (Dynasties 18-20; 1550-1070 B.C.), the 21st Dynasty (1070-945 B.C.), and the start of the 22nd Dynasty, followed by a long gap of nearly 300 years during which only a small number of Books of the Dead were produced on short lengths of papyrus, typically containing less than ten spells, very few of which were accompanied by illustrations. It was revived possibly as early as the late 25th Dynasty, but the main revival blossomed around the start of the 26th Dynasty (roughly 664 to 525 B.C., known as the Saite Period), during which time the texts of the some 165 spells underwent considerable rework, the illustrations or vignettes accompanying those spells also underwent rework, and the texts and vignettes to a varying degree became standardized, and the same can generally be said for the sequence of spells.

Lors d'une journée d'étude, organisée par l'ISTA (UFC) en 2013, des spécialistes de l'histoire des philosophies, littératures et religions de l'Antiquité se sont réunis autour de la thématique de la croyance grecque et indienne en la transmigration des âmes. Ils sont arrivés aux conclusions suivantes : la doctrine de la métempsychose, quoi qu'en ait dit Hérodote, ne peut avoir une origine égyptienne ; les idées indiennes sur la survie de l'âme et la rétribution des actes renvoient à des conceptions hétérogènes ; enfin, divers auteurs comme Platon, Clément d'Alexandrie ou Philostrate ont sur-interprété le thème des voyages de l'âme comme autant de clichés afin d'étayer leur projet doctrinal.

"The study of conflict archaeology has developed rapidly over the last decade, fuelled in equal measure by technological advances and creative analytical frameworks. Nowhere is this truer than in the inter-disciplinary fields of archaeological practice that combine traditional sources such as historical photographs and maps with 3D digital topographic data from Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and large scale geophysical prospection. For twentieth-century conflict landscapes and their surviving archaeological remains, these developments have encouraged a shift from a site oriented approach towards landscape-scaled research. With case studies ranging from the Western Front to the Cold War, Ireland to Russia, this volume demonstrates how an aerial perspective can both support and challenge traditional archaeological and historical analysis, providing an innovative new means of engaging with the material culture of conflict and commemoration"--Priovided by publisher.

En complément au livre Du Soldat inconnu aux monuments commémoratifs belges de la Guerre 14-18 qui racontait comment les monuments commémoratifs étaient nés, ce second volume vous invite à vous en approcher pour les décoder et comprendre le sens de ces représentations monumentales. Vous donner l’envie de (re)découvrir — sur le terrain — ce patrimoine extraordinaire, de scruter de plus près ces statues ou plaques que l’on côtoie tous les jours… Tel est le but de cet ouvrage. Quelle(s) histoire(s) nous racontent les monuments commémoratifs de la Première Guerre mondiale érigés partout en Belgique ? Pourquoi et quand ont-ils été inaugurés ? Quelles images de la Grande Guerre conservent-ils ? Comment interpréter les différents symboles, inscriptions et personnages qui les composent ? De quelle manière ces mémoriaux conservent-ils les souvenirs des civils massacrés, combattants, déportés ou prisonniers politiques morts et des survivants ? Et les survivants, justement, que sont-ils devenus ? Ont-ils obtenus une reconnaissance de l’Etat belge ? À travers de nombreux exemples, ce livre analyse les monuments aux morts (et aux survivants !) belges de la Guerre 1914-1918. Le lecteur pourra désormais resituer dans leur contexte, décrypter et (re)considérer ces précieux témoins du passé.
