Wendy Doyon (EUME Fellow 2024/25) talk “Ghost Writers of Upper Egypt: Arabic Field Diaries from Egypt and Sudan in the History of Archaeology” was held in the framework of the EUME Berliner Seminar on 15 January 2025. The talk was chaired by Ilona Regulski (Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin).The seminar was in cooperation with the BEYONDREST Research Group.

In the early part of the twentieth century, the rural community of Quft, Upper Egypt, provided the setting for an ethnographic account of spirit possession among the so-called “fellahin,” a term often associated in popular culture with a traditional and presumably uneducated peasantry from the South of Egypt. Hans Alexander Winkler’s Ghost Riders of Upper Egypt (originally published in 1936) showed the folksy side of village life, but Quft was also home to Egypt’s most elite community of archaeological foremen (rūyasa) known as Quftis, renowned for their advanced knowledge and skills in archaeological excavation since 1895. In this talk, I will present an overview of the Quftis’ historical record as “Ghost Writers of Upper Egypt”: skilled foremen and field technicians whose embodied knowledge lurks behind the monographic publications that make up our body of modern literature about ancient Egypt, the Sudan, and the Middle East. As part of the Quftis’ unpublished written record, the talk will focus on the production of a large archive of Arabic excavation diaries documenting archaeological work in Egypt and Sudan in the first half of the 20th Century. The main corpus of this material includes over 6,500 unique manuscript pages in 73 diary volumes, which form part of archaeological archives at Harvard and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. These diaries were written by two generations of Egyptian foremen in a mixture of Classical, Cairene, and Upper Egyptian Arabic. The presentation will cover aspects of their collective authorship, dialects, narrative voice, challenges of translation, and trans-archival context.

Lyrics:
She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

There's a song in my heart,
let me play it through
this is how I feel, I know it's possibly true
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up
and stars will wait for her to shine
cause she can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same

She can choose to change my whole world
I know I won't complain
She can offer me solace
I know I'll do the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime.

She can put a smile across my face
and just take it away
She can roam around the moon and back
I know she'll stay the same
She can bat those eyes and get away with crime

Stepping out, I look around
hoping that she's safe and sound
the sun may go down but I will send the moon back up 
to keep her by the glow of his light
cause she can roam around the moon and back
and I know she'll stay the same.
