Palace Green! I walked through here almost every day in 1985~88!

Taken by one of our Visitor Services Staff early Sunday morning, this gives us a glorious bright, sunny view of Palace Green Library, taken from the entrance to Dun Cow Lane.

Palace Green Library is the current home of Durham University's Museum of Archaeology, and of Durham's World Heritage Site Visitor Centre, both hosting free entry displays to the public. The building is open 7 days a week, 10 am to 5 pm.

We hope to welcome you shortly!

There was light': Amunhotep III and his Dazzling Age

1 October 2022 - 21 May 2023

ORIENTAL MUSEUM

The ancient Egyptian king Amunhotep III was the grandfather of the famous boy king Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamun ruled Egypt for only nine years and died at the age of 18. He was largely forgotten by history until the discovery of his relatively undisturbed tomb by the British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. In the hundred years since this discovery Tutankhamun has become a household name the world over.

Using the collections of the Oriental Museum, this exhibition focuses on Tutankhamun’s family, particularly his father and grandfather, together with the courtiers who surrounded them, exploring the dazzling age of the boy king.

These kings ruled at a time when Egyptian power extended over lands from Syria to Nubia. They possessed enormous wealth, including luxuries from across the known world. There was Light showcases a selection of treasures from this golden age, ranging from royal sculpture to the intimate personal objects once owned by the men and women who lived and died along the banks of the Nile over three thousand years ago.

That is the spirit of US!

The challenge to the 2020 election result has helped create “an extremely adverse environment,” former defense secretaries and generals said in an open letter.

九月五日，做了一日的法庭記者，採訪報道彭滿圓牧師被控「作出一項或多項煽動意圖的作為」罪及「發表煽動文字」罪的案件審訊，那是第二日審訊，也是正式開審的日子。

庭上播出案發時的鄒幸彤案錄音（兩位被告被指旁聽時拍手掌），全長大概十五分鐘。之前文字上應看過鄒幸彤「求情」的陳述了，但這樣聽一次是另一回事。她不徐不疾地訴說一個一個六四死難者的故事，最後指出案件最大受害者是六四難屬，而不是她自己。旁聽者於是拍了手掌，掌聲如雷，法官作出警告，說法庭是莊嚴地方，不容喧鬧，如再有人吵鬧，會抄下身份證，可能被告藐視法庭。鄒再說了幾句後，又有零星掌聲。此時，不同旁聽人士都說了話，講出他們覺得如何不公。期間，彭牧師說了一句：「良知啊，你跌咗啊，閣下。」

一向冷靜的我，聽到這裡不知道為何眼眶濕了，幾行淚水突然流下，口罩也濕了一些，悒住咗。但仍繼續抄。錄音中，旁聽者再說了幾句話後，彭牧再說了其後有討論的一句：「良知啊，你無咗。」

整天下來，抄到手痛（恰巧沒帶一支好一點的筆）。不過卻很滿足，覺得大開眼界，因為彭牧在庭上的表現確實精彩。他沒有律師，選擇自行代表，雖然不熟知法律程序，但向證人盤問起來頭頭是道，且讓人覺得「幾有料到」。整個過程中，牧師的狀態比我之前預想的好，雖然已經還柙幾個月，但當日他冷靜、神態堅定，休庭時還兩三次向旁聽的支持者做加油手勢。

結果如何，其實大概都可以預計了。可是過程還是重要的，可以旁聽和記錄實在是bonus。可惜近來機構人手不足，實在無辦法每天去聽審。

晚上回想時覺得，社會都已經這樣了，但願我們都盡一點努力，在各自的崗位上做好本份，甚至盡力做多一些吧。這就已是對在囚者一些交代了吧。

Beautiful ancient sculpture!

Connected with death, resurrection and the afterlife, Osiris was one of the most important deities in ancient Egypt. This finely carved basalt statue depicts the god in his characteristic form as a mummy and is of a quality that suggests it originated in a royal workshop for display within a formal setting despite the lack of any inscription.⁠
⁠
The god’s hands project through the mummy wrappings to hold the royal insignia of crook and flail. In this way Osiris is both the dead king and King of the Dead. The distinctive carving of the cobra on the atef-crown suggests the piece was carved during the 26th Dynasty.⁠

The university has undergone a number of significant changes. It began as the Advanced Academy of Agronomy and Forestry, founded by the Japanese in Taipei in 1919. After 1928, the academy became a special department affiliated to Taihoku Imperial University (now National Taiwan University). The department became an independent school again in 1943 and was moved to Taichung.

After the Kuomintang took over Taiwan in 1945, the school was reorganized and renamed Taiwan Provincial Taichung Agricultural Junior College. In 1946, the Junior College evolved into a higher institution, Taiwan Provincial College of Agriculture.

In 1961, it combined with the newly established College of Science and Engineering on the same Taichung campus and the College of Law and Business founded in Taipei in 1949, to become Taiwan Provincial Chung Hsing University. In 1964, an evening school was set up on the Taipei campus. In 1968 another evening school and the College of Liberal Arts were added to the Taichung campus.

The University continued to grow in size, but it was not until 1971 that it became a national university and assumed its present name: National Chung Hsing University.

The College of Veterinary Medicine was established in September 1999. In February 2000, the Taipei campus including the College of Law & Business and the Taipei evening school was combined into the newly established National Taipei University. The College of Social Sciences & Management was established on the Taichung campus at the same time. In August 2002, the Extension Division and the Extension Education Center was combined into the Extension Division for Inservice and Continuing Education.
