S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Syrian-Lebanese Immigration; the Pyramids and the Valley of Kings; and the Legacy of Ancient Egypt as World Heritage. All of these subjects will be covered this month in the Cycle of Meetings on Arab-Islamic History and Culture at bookstore Martins Fontes, on S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s Avenida Paulista, with support from the\u00a0Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lecture Syrian and Lebanese people in S\u00e3o Paulo: The Paths of Immigration in the City<\/em> will be given by Juliana Mouawad Khouri. \u201cI\u2019ve always been really interested in History. I was heavily influenced by the history of my family, who are Syrian and Lebanese descendants. My grandmother is an immigrant, she came by ship and she tells me all kinds of details about it. These stories have always been kept alive at home. And I also wanted to learn about the city of S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d says Khouri, who holds a master\u2019s degree in Arab Studies from the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP) and is a professor and researcher on Syrian and Lebanese immigration in Brazil.<\/p>\n

In her presentation, Khouri will discuss the paths taken by Arabs since the first immigrants arrived in Brazil, in the final decades of the 19th<\/sup> century. \u201cMy idea is to discuss the history of immigration. Mostly I researched the early days, and Rua 25 de Mar\u00e7o (pictured above, 25th<\/sup> of March Street) was the first site. Here, we can see that those people have remained. And then you have the names of streets, places of memory. I look at the pathways. The Para\u00edso and Vila Mariana neighborhoods as residential areas, Br\u00e1s as a retail area, and Ipiranga,\u201d says the researcher.<\/p>\n

And the three-class course Masterpieces from Ancient Egypt: the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings<\/em> will address the only remaining Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the pyramids of Egypt. The course is open to anyone who\u2019s interested in Egyptian civilization. It will be taught by Egyptologist and archaeologist Flavia Haddad. She will not limit herself to the better-known pyramids; she will also go over \u201ca few unknown pyramids,\u201d as well as the Great Sphinx of Giza and the tombs of the Valley of the Kings.<\/p>\n

And finally, a lecture on The Legacy of Ancient Egypt <\/em>as World Heritage<\/em> will cover the main archaeological sites in Egypt that were declared World Heritage Sites in 1979. \u201cThe question of world heritage is very much connected with Ancient Egypt. She wrote an essay on the moving of the Abu Simbel temples as of the building of the Aswan dam. That\u2019s where you have a hands-on laboratory, as several countries come together to protect something that belongs to humanity,\u201d explains Angela Rosch Rodrigues, who holds a doctorate degree in History and Foundations of Architecture and Urbanism and will speak on the subject.<\/p>\n

The lecture will also cover other major sites in Egypt that became Heritage Sites in 1979, like the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, the Memphite Necropolis, the Ancient Thebes area where the temples of Luxor, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings are; and the Nubian temple of Philae. \u201cIn order to understand landmark, you must understand its history, the way it was built, the way people relate to it now, and the way it has come to be valued as heritage. The focus is on how they get rediscovered, brought up as landmarks, especially after the 18th<\/sup> century,\u201d Rodrigues concludes.<\/p>\n
