A pottery figurine found in Fayoum from the Roman period, currently preserved in the Agricultural Museum in Dokki No. (527 Its height is 20 cm. It depicts the god "Harpocrates", an image of the god "Horr", who was known in the Greco-Roman civilization as "Horr-Ba-Chord" or "Horr the child". He is a member of the Alexandrian Trinity (Sarabes - Isis - Harpocrates), and he appears in the form of a boy distinguished by a lock of hair, and the finger of one of his hands extends towards the mouth as an expression of childhood. He puts a complex crown on his head, sitting on the back of a goose. The geese have been associated with religious and funeral beliefs and offerings.
Terracotta statues representing the child Hr-pA Xrd leading a goose were spread in the Greco-Roman era, and the religious significance of this type of statues is that it represents the victory of Hor Pa Gurd, which is one of the images of the goddess Horus over evil, those forces inherent in the god Set and his victory where the geese in the swamps of the delta are Delta spirits of enemies and evil counterparts.

The article is an attempt to highlight some aspects of the Numidia civilization that preceded the Roman Advent, which has not been thoroughly studied due to the scarcity of the sources that referred to it.
As well as the lack of monuments that was confined more to the funeral aspect. It is a brief look at the economic aspect, through which we know some of the crafts and industries that the Numidians knew, as well as giving an overview of the commercial movement that was between them and other peoples.

Pottery is one of the oldest traditional crafts that has received special care through different ages, from prehistoric times through the ancient Islamic eras to the present day. Algeria is rich in several regions for the production of pottery, including the region of Minor Kabylia, Great Kabylia, the region of Auras and Warchenes, the region of Al-Shenoui and the city of Nedroma in the west. This industry is considered one of the peculiarities of rural people, especially rural women.

The research seeks to publish the planning and description of the Ahmed Zaki Pasha Mosque for the first time, which is located in the Tanahiya area in Giza, Great Cairo, as well as explaining its various parts, with mention of its importance. The results of the library study of the mosque confirmed the importance of the mosque’s tourist location as it is located in a special place on the Nile bank near the Pharaonic village, which qualifies it to be placed on the map of religious and cultural tourism. The current building of the mosque is considered a modern building, its construction date goes back to the twenties of the twentieth century, specifically in 1926 AD, but there are some parts that date back to centuries ago, such as the ancient painting of Ghamdan palace from Yemen, and it contains a piece of the covering of the Kaaba dating back to 1341 AH / 1923 AD., which adds to the material and moral value of the mosque, especially for Muslim tourists, also what increases the moral value of the mosque for Muslims, is that Dust from the Cave of Hiraa was placed in the tomb of the founder to be blessed. The mosque is considered a masterpiece of Islamic arts and decorations that gather the creativity of the Egyptian Muslim artist at the beginning of the twentieth century. A valuable archaeological, artistic and religious display to be presented to the public in order for the whole community to be happy with it.

Playing is among the determining factors of human culture, yet it contributes to a large extent in the process of learning and entertainment at the same time. The human need for self-entertainment dates back to prehistoric times, so that this being sought to find different ways and a variety of things to distract his daily worries related to providing food. At that time, every unfamiliar matter that did not result in harm could bring happiness and elation to the soul of the man of these ages. But the matter became different with the stability of man and his establishment of villages and cities, his practice of agriculture and his domestication of animals, as all of this resulted in important inventions and industries that enabled man to move to the stage of high civilization that provided him with food stability. From this point of view, man has begun fishing, for example, not out of his need for food, but for self-entertainment, and he has many places where he meets to play games of chance.

The buildings that were erected in the Ottoman era are replete with ceramic squares, so almost no building, whether religious , civil, or public facilities, is free of this type of wall cladding, and despite the large number of these squares, they are not from the local industry and no source indicated that Knowing that the region has known centers for the manufacture of ceramics since ancient times, and the first appearance of ceramic squares in Tunisia was in the facade of the niche of the Kairouan Mosque, brought from Baghdad and then the craftsmen began to control this industry since the ninth century AD in Kairouan, Raqqada and Mahdia, as other centers appeared such as the castle Bani Hammad in the eleventh century AD, then Bejaia in the twelfth century AD, and in the Marinid and Hafsid periods, the art of ceramic industry reached its climax. So what are the reasons that led to the absence of this industry in the Ottoman era, and to bring its products from abroad?

Lights on some Egyptian antiquities which was reused in Islamic antiquities

This research deals with the study of the phenomenon of reusing the effects of antiquity within Islamic monuments, specifically the antiquities dating back to the period of the ancient Egyptian rule, which is known as the "Pharaonic civilization", whether they were fixed or movable monuments, so that we can stand on the extent of influence and impact, and the reasons that prompted the early Muslims to do so. And does the geographical location have a relationship as one of the multiple dimensions of the place at any time, or is it a civilized friction that carries its outward characteristics without going deep!
Because it is really interesting that we see pharaonic monuments bearing the characteristics of paganism and man-made religions, inside the corridors of Islamic civilization with its mosques and minarets, and the true divine religion it bears, without losing its intrinsic strength, or even just thinking about it, and how the essence in it is not copied but is reincarnated, But we can put it as a rule that the more Egypt changes and develops, the more its character and identity become more assertive and continuity. Even in the distant past, Egypt was Egyptianization everything new, digesting it, representing it, and making it a purely Egyptian entity in an amazing harmony without losing its identity; As Egyptianized the foreign waves and swallowed it up. Even religion, Egypt took Christianity and brought out its own Coptic version. As Wilson says about ancient Egypt: “Within Egypt, the most diverse ideas were tolerantly accepted and weaved together in what we moderns might consider as a lack of order in a philosophical conflict, but it was for the ancients integrated”. The way of the ancient Egyptian was to accept innovations and to include them in his thinking, without discarding the old and outdated and that the old and the new will lie together, or, as “Morrentz” mentions, that the Egyptian is not Egyptian unless he adheres to the old next to the new, harmonizing between them or linking one of them to the other at least.

During the work of the joint mission between Sohag University and Mainz University at the Western Mountain region of Assiut, large numbers of Islamic ceramic and pottery finds were discovered, and most of these finds are fragments of pots belonging to different types of Islamic ceramics and pottery, such as unglazed pottery, and painted pottery. Monochrome glazed porcelain, undercoated porcelain, imitation of Tang Dynasty porcelain, and Chinese porcelain. I have published research on some of these finds, and I still have an action plan to complete the publication of the rest of them.
Among what was discovered during the mission’s work, a group of Shubuk (smoking pipes) did not belong to the aforementioned group of ceramic and pottery finds, neither in terms of the nature of use, nor in terms of the era to which they belong, so I chose to publish and study these Shubuks in this independent study.

Although the Mahmudiya Mosque in the Salah al-Din Square area of the Citadel bears many different values that distinguish it from other archaeological buildings that were established in the Ottoman era, it suffers from neglecting and lack of care, and suffers from many different aspects of damage, whether structural, architectural, urban or public.
The research aims to identify, highlight and restore the total or partial of these different values of that mosque (the subject of the research) and the changes that occurred to it, or the total or partial loss or obliteration of these values, and it also aims to monitor the various manifestations and factors of damage affecting the case of the study.
And conducting examinations, analyzes and tests for the building materials used in the building, using polarizing microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and X-ray florescence in addition to tests of physical and mechanical properties and the geographic positioning system (GPS) was also used for latitude and longitude.
Where the study concluded through the results of those examinations, analyzes and various tests of damaged samples of limestone taken from the case of the study, and the results showed that materials suffer from deterioration and corrosion in calcite crystals and loss in the binding material It also showed the presence of cracks and fine cracks in the mineral crystals of the stone as a result of the internal stresses resulting from the blooming of salts on the surface (Efflorescence) and under the surface (Sub-florescence) and within the components of the stone (Crypto florescence) resulting from the rise of salt solutions from contaminated soil in the walls of the mosque, It was also shown through the physical properties tests that there was a decrease in the density of limestone and an increase in its porosity and its ability to absorb water. Components of limestone, where calcium sulfate compound was found in the results of X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope examination, and from the above it is clear the deterioration of the current state of building materials as part of the deterioration of the building, and many active cracks were detected, whether vertical, horizontal or inclined It confirms the exposure of the mosque to the subsidence of the bearing soil and the presence of excessive loads, as it is likely that it was exposed to previous earthquakes It was also found through monitoring with the tendency monitoring device (GPS) that there were tendencies in the minaret of the mosque.
The research ended with the development of several proposals for intervention and preservation represented in structural conservation proposals represented in proposals for soil treatment and foundations and architectural preservation proposals represented in the repair of cracks and the processes of completion, replacement and replacement and proposals for careful preservation represented in the extraction of salts and cleaning operations, and the research provides a set of recommendations related to the processes of Preserving ancient buildings.

Rather, calamities here and there indicated that the deviation from the values and provisions of Islam included some individuals and practices, but the reality confirms that these deviations were not often a character, but rather affected individuals, and could not constitute a prominent trend, due to the prestige that the provisions of legislation (Sharia ) had, especially in metropolises and major cities, in addition to the jurisprudents and judges carrying out their legal duty to raise awareness, guide and change evil.

Therefore, I chose to study a group of them, including an archaeological and technical study after the approval of those in charge of it in writing, and my choice fell on a distinct and integrated group of defensive metal weapons from the Islamic era to be the subject of this study.
This research aims to publish and study a group of defensive metal weapons, attributed to Imam Muhammad bin Saud and bearing the date of 1511, and an attempt to reveal the correct history of them or at least know the time period in which they were made, Documenting and describing it, analyzing its various technical elements, and trying to read the written bands and analyze it in terms of form and content.
This group includes a gear, a helmet, a forearm protector, and a Hauberk. In studying these metal artifacts, I will follow the descriptive and documentary method, as well as the analytical method of industrial methods and the technical methods used in their manufacture and decoration.

Egypt was famous through the Ancient Near East for both weaving linen cloth and the produced quantities. Cloth was sent as expensive gifts from one king to another and given to a laborer as wages in return for his work. Cloth was regarded as an essential element in everyday life as it could be used for everything: clothing, bedding, trappings for animals, or sails of a ship. It was in fact one of the most widely used item throughout Ancient Egypt.Although other textile fibers were used in Pharaonic Egypt, namely, sheep's wool, goat hair and a form of coir, the majority of textiles were made from the plant Linum usitatissimum, flax. Cloth made from this fiber is defined as linen.The research starts with a brief definition of the flax, and then reviews the scenes representing the sowing and the harvesting of its seeds. It also focuses on the way of removing the seeds heads, the preparing of the flax for spinning: retting, beating and scutching. After that, it deals with transforming flax into orderly lengths, and rolling it into balls or coils.The researcher as well studies the Ancient Egyptian spinning techniques: grasped spindle, support spindle and drop spinning; the different types of weaving: tabby weaves, basket weaves, tapestry weaves and warps-patterned weave and the types of looms that were in use in Egypt, namely, the horizontal and vertical looms.
