Pyramids, power and the dynamics of states in crisis

该项目旨在改变现有的关于埃及在金字塔时代的影响的叙述。公元前2670-2200年）。它将展示大型国家实体作为古代世界社会变革驱动力的影响力。这个跨学科的项目超越了学科和现代边界，通过网络科学分析与考古和历史证据，从整个地中海东部。该项目的预期成果是对公元前第三个千年国际关系的广阔愿景，将埃及提升为经济、社会和政治变革的推动者。在一个目前动荡不安的地区，跨越时空的全球问题的共同性质以及人类的反应将是显而易见的。

This project aims to transform existing narratives about the impact of Egypt in the Pyramid Age (c. 2670–2200 BC). It will demonstrate the influence of large state entities as drivers of societal change in the ancient world. This interdisciplinary project transcends academic disciplines and modern borders by networking scientific analysis with archaeological and historical evidence, from across the eastern Mediterranean. The expected outcome of the project is an expansive vision of international relations in the third millennium BC, which elevates Egypt as a driver of economic, social and political change. In a region currently troubled by much turmoil, the shared nature of global issues across time and space, and the human response, will be evident.
