News summary

A new book titled "Sacred Places Tell Tales: Jewish Life and Heritage in Modern Cairo" by Prof. Yoram Meital explores the once-thriving Jewish community in Egypt, highlighting its cultural significance and the impact of 20th-century events that led to its decline. Meital's research, which involved unprecedented access to Cairo's synagogues, emphasizes the Golden Age of Egyptian Jewry from the late 19th century to the 1950s, coinciding with British rule that offered minorities greater rights and opportunities. Meanwhile, an article discusses the historical intersection of Greek settlers in Egypt beginning in the 7th century BC, detailing their arrival during a tumultuous period under King Psamtik I. Furthermore, new evidence of the Gallus Revolt in 351-352 AD reveals previously overlooked Jewish resistance against Roman rule, challenging long-held historical narratives. Lastly, Ahmed Kamal is recognized for his contributions to Egyptology, being one of the first native archaeologists in Egypt, with his legacy celebrated in various historical contexts. Together, these pieces reflect the rich and complex tapestry of Egypt's historical and cultural evolution.
