Ancient Near East PhotographsThis collection, created by Professor Scott Noegel, documents artifacts and archaeological sites of the ancient Near East. While the majority of the collection depicts structures and sites dating from 3000 BCE to 200 CE, the collection also has images of more recent sites, such as the al-Azhar Mosque and the modern creation, Lake Nasser. Currently, all images are of Egypt and Israel, although plans exist to eventually add images from Anatolia, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. About the DatabaseThe images were collected over a ten year period by University of Washington scholars, and the images included in this database were chosen to facilitate research and to supplement general reading in a variety of disciplines. The richness of this image collection can be seen in the diversity of the topics represented by the images within. In addition to topic-specific images, one can find pictorial data to supplement to the study of pharaonic history, daily life in ancient times, ancient art, architectural features, and the history of religions (Egyptian, Canaanite, Israelite, Judaism, Coptic Christianity, Early Islam, etc.). Images were scanned at 300dpi using an Umax Astra 2000 scanner and saved at 72dpi as jpg files. Alterations were made with Adobe Photoshop. The images in this collection are owned by Professor Scott Noegel. For permission to use these images you must send an inquiry to Dr. Scott Noegel at snoegel[at]u[dot]washington[dot]edu. Dept.
