Harvard Egyptology Professor Merges Ancient Discoveries with New Technologies
Gabriella Gage
Harvard’s Philip J. King Professor of Egyptology
Peter Der Manuelian first discovered his passion for all things Egypt
during a fourth grade history class at the Belmont Day School.
“I remember that as the first class that actively grabbed my attention,” said Manuelian.
From there, he was hooked. Luckily, young Manuelian was able to foster this interest locally at the famous Egyptian collection at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).
Manuelian is Harvard University’s first Egyptologist in more than half a century.
His predecessor was George A. Reisner (1867–1942), whom Manuelian described as “one of the greatest archaeologists and Egyptologists of his generation.”
“I feel honored and privileged to try to help reawaken Harvard’s glorious archaeological legacy of work in Egypt. There is indeed great passion for the subject here, and I’ve been supported on every level,” said Manuelian.

Let's Honor Manoog Young by Continuing His Quest
Marc A. Mamigonian
The founding chairman of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), Manoog S. Young, passed away July 3, 2012, a few months shy of his 95th birthday. He is mourned by his family and friends, recognizing that Manoog lived a productive, long life. He was a founder and the long-serving (1955-2001) board chairman of the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).
On Thursday, October 4, at 7:30 p.m., two days shy of what would have been Manoog's 95th birthday, NAASR will welcome all who wish to gather to remember and honor Manoog Young's life and work. We hope that the Armenian community will come and join with us in looking back, remembering and honoring a man who worked tirelessly towards worthy goals. In addition, a fund has been established in his name - because no one understood better than Manoog that nothing gets done without money. We hope that those who value the importance of Armenian Studies will give in order to make possible the continuation of that work - work that is never finished.
