This volume contains the collected papers from the international colloquium on early Egypt held at the British Museum in July 1993. It includes contributions on the interpretation of excavated material from various sites, some of which allow comparisons of Predynastic funerary practices in Upper and Lower Egypt, whilst others focus on the development of major cult centres. Material from excavated contexts has been reassessed and analyzed by modern techniques to allow the presentation of new conclusions on chronology, material culture, administration and trade in early Egypt.

From its beginnings as a frontier military post on the Missouri River, through its years as a transportation and meatpacking center, to its present role as a home to Fortune 500 companies, Omaha has always been a city of opportunity, growth, and change. Historic Photos of Omaha captures this journey through still photography selected from the finest archives.

An ISIS terrorist planned to kill more than 500 people. He would have succeeded except for three American friends who refused to give in to fear. On August 21, 2015, Ayoub El-Khazzani boarded train #9364 in Brussels, bound for Paris. There could be no doubt about his mission: he had an AK-47, a pistol, a box cutter, and enough ammunition to obliterate every passenger on board.
