Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 104-111.<br>This research focuses on the role of Ancient Egypt during antiquity. It attempts to demonstrate a rereading of Egypt through the lens of an African, in relation to the views held by traditional scholarship. It also provides its readers with an alternative way of looking at how Egypt and the Near Eastern countries influenced each other. Secondly, this research provides evidence, which suggests that the founders of ancient Egyptian civilization relates closer to their African heritage than their Asian, or even its European neighbours.

African American Studies<br>Ph.D.<br>This is an Afrocentric examination of women's use of agency in Ancient Egypt and Igboland. Most histories written on Kemetic women not only disconnect them from Africa but also fail to fully address the significance of their position within the political spiritual structure of the state. Additionally, the presence of matriarchy in Ancient Egypt is dismissed on the basis that patriarchy is the most visible and seemingly the most dominant form of governance.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore Osiris’s role in the Book of the Dead[1] to unearth the ancient Egyptian connotation for the term death. This study contends that western scholars have debased the arcane expression of death to literal interpretation. The basic function of ancient Egyptian scripture was to instruct man’s soul into deity—in the earthly realm. This investigation suggests the ancient Egyptian priesthood instituted this esoteric philosophy in scripture to adumbrate this grand idea death, which was Bes—to be initiated.

All Besshi-type deposits are contained within sequences of clastic sedimentary rock and intercalated basalts in a marine environment.

Abstract:
Dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, l’Éthiopie luttait farouchement pour conserver son indépendance, tout en agrandissant considérablement son territoire. Une région de montagnes et de prairies, jusqu’alors aux marges méridionales de l’espace national, se retrouva au centre du pays défini par de nouvelles frontières. C’est là qu’est née Addis Abäba vers 1886, d’abord simple "kätäma" (camp royal) et base logistique pour les conquêtes militaires, avant de devenir un « carrefour du monde ».L’objectif de cette thèse est une mise en lumière du rôle moteur, exercé par la volonté de reconnaissance

Abstract:
La ville antique d’Ammaedara (aujourd’hui Haïdra) est située dans le centre ouest de la Tunisie, à proximité de la frontière algérienne. Nous nous proposons d’étudier dans cette thèse l’évolution de la colonie d’Ammaedara, issue du camp de la IIIe Legio Augusta, depuis sa fondation au Ier siècle après J.-C. jusqu’à la conquête arabe à la fin du VIIe siècle, à partir des données archéologiques et historiques. L’examen de la documentation ancienne (plans, clichés aériens) et l’acquisition de nouvelles données de terrain (relevés topographiques, prospections sur le site et la campagne), nous perm

Abstract:
L'Egypte, territoire aride, dépend essentiellement du Nil pour l'irrigation de ses terres agricoles. La variabilité temporelle de la crue du fleuve a donc pu affecter directement la dynamique de la population égyptienne. Ici, cette hypothèse est testée en étudiant la variation du climat pendant l'Egypte ancienne parallèlement à des indicateurs du mode de vie des égyptiens. La variation dans le temps du δ18Ow de l'eau du Nil est reconstituée à partir des valeurs de δ18Op du phosphate de l'apatite de momies égyptiennes. L'augmentation de +3 ‰ du δ18Ow de l'eau du Nil entre la période Prédynastiq

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie une question historique classique, celle de la transition entre l'évergétisme et la charité chrétienne, à travers l'étude des dons à la collectivité en Afrique du Nord tardo-antique, de la fin du IIIe siècle au VIe siècle. La recherche s'appuie sur les sources épigraphiques et littéraires africaines tardo‑antiques, et prend en compte les acquis de l'anthropologie du don. Pendant l'Antiquité tardive, l'évergétisme, pratique caractéristique des cités antiques par laquelle des aristocrates faisaient des dons à leurs concitoyens se renouvelle et disparaît progressivement.

Abstract:
Le modèle « Out of Africa » est profondément ancré dans les réflexions portant sur les peuplements paléolithiques. Pour le Pléistocène inférieur et moyen ancien, plusieurs vagues de dispersion des premiers hominidés à partir de l’Afrique de l’Est sont avancées, en particulier vers le Proche-Orient sur la base de trois sites majeurs : Dmanisi, ‘Ubeidiya et Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov. Cette théorie véhicule également l’idée d’imports répétés de techniques nouvelles, notamment le façonnage bifacial.Cependant, une déconstruction des mécanismes inhérents à ce modèle permet d’identifier des obstacles conc
