Country Info Egypt Introduction Egypt General Data Egypt Maps Egypt Culture ... Egypt Time and Date Egypt Culture Back to Top The impact of the West is one of the recurring themes in the modern Egyptian novel, as in Tawfiq al-Hakim's 'Usfur min ash-Sharq (“The Bird from the East”) and Yahya Haqqi's novella Qindil Umm Hashim (“The Lamp of Umm Hashim”). A further theme is that of the Egyptian countryside—romantically handled at first, as in Muhammad Husayn Haykal's Zaynab, and later realistically, as in 'Abd al-Rahman ash-Sharqawi's al-Ard (The Land) and al-Fallah (“The Peasant”) and in Yusuf Idris' al-Haram (“The Forbidden”). A Dickensian capacity to catch the colour of life among the urban poor is a characteristic quality of the early and middle work of Egypt's greatest modern novelist, Najib Mahfuz, notably in Zuqaq al-Midaqq (Midaq Alley). The modern theatre in Egypt is a European importation the first Arabic-speaking plays were performed in 1870. Two dramatists, both born at the turn of the century, have dominated its development Mahmud Taymur and Tawfiq al-Hakim. The latter, a versatile and cerebral playwright, has reflected in his themes not only the development of the modern theatre but also, in embryo, the cultural and social history of modern Egypt. The changes in Egyptian society are reflected in the themes adopted by younger dramatists. Contemporary Egyptian music embraces indigenous folk music, traditional Arabic music, and Western-style music. The revival of traditional Arabic music, both vocal and instrumental, owes much to state sponsorship. Popular Arabic music consists of a blend of classical Arabic music, folk songs, and Western music. Muhammad 'Abd al-Wahhab has been one of the leading figures in the development of this genre, as both composer and singer. Umm Kulthum was the leading vocalist not only of Egypt but also of the whole Arab world for almost 50 years. Western-style music has been a familiar component in Egyptian musical culture since the 19th century. Pioneers such as Yusuf Greiss and Abu Bakr Khayrat succeeded in incorporating Arabic elements to give a national colouring to their Western-style compositions.

38. Ancient Egypt - Culture: Dependence On The Nile Ancient egypt culture. by Kari Phippen The Ancient egyptian People’sDependence on the Nile. ater is fundamental to man’s existence. http://carbon.cudenver.edu/stc-link/AE/culture.html

Ancient Egypt - Culture by Kari Phippen The ancient Egyptians were a religious people. Two of the earliest religious cults were sun and nature. As an agricultural society, they depended upon the cyclical nature of the Nile floods to replenish the lands with fertile topsoil and they depended upon the sun to help produce a bountiful harvest. Witnessing the natural processes of the earth likely influenced their beliefs in the afterlife. Kamil explains, Such religious beliefs pervaded society. Egyptians often buried their dead on the West bank of the Nile River presumably due to their belief that the underworld was located in the west where the sun died each day. Relatives of the dead often buried miniature boats in their tombs to transport the soul in the afterlife. Like many other tomb artifacts, these were often marked with symbols of the sun God Re. Great Pyramid organization The pictograms, hieroglyphics, murals and contents found in such edifices reveals a great deal about daily life in ancient Egypt. They offer answers to the question of why construction of these monuments was undertaken in the first place and give evidence of the effect they had on the life of the common man. The symbolism of the tomb paintings carried spiritual meaning. Through pictograms, murals on tomb walls we also know that their religious beliefs had a fundamental effect in shaping the organization and structure of Egyptian society. Scholars argue that the first written language arose out of the need to keep records of harvests and rainfall. Historians believe that as few as one percent of the populace were literate. Scribes held a special position in Egyptian society and were revered as powerful and important people. The occupation required mastery of over 700 hieroglyphs representing objects, ideas, or sounds. Their education involved the study of reading, writing, and mathematics. Scribes functioned as tax collectors, record keepers, even architects. Scholars further suggest advances in astrology arose out of their need to predict the annual flood.
