Someone had a bad breakup…

By looking at the history of the sport of sailboat racing during 1905 and 1906 in Egypt, one can learn several things about the culture. I looked for all sections throughout the 1905 and 1906 issues of the Egyptian Gazette that mentioned the word “regatta”.

Whenever I ask my grandparents to tell stories about their childhoods, I place myself back in time to the early 1900s. History has always been fascinating to me simply because I picture everything as if it were occurring right in front of me.

My goal throughout my research in the Egyptian Gazette was see if there was a way to determine when there were ups and downs in the economy during the years of 1905 and 1906.

Even in our current society we see advertisements for products that do not always seem conventional. We might be walking through a store and see a product that is advertised to do great things for our health without using chemicals or anything unnatural.

The passing of the Doyen of Local Press, a beloved soul and very important man in Egypt.

Brewing the Idea I began upon this subject for my analysis project through my blog post that I wrote earlier in the class. I found a peculiar article in my week of March 1905 entitled “A Cairo Nuisance”.

Origins, treatment, cure?

In the early 20th century, in Alexandria, Egypt, many people died, but not everyone had a funeral. Of the funerals reported by the Egyptian Gazette, it turns out that not all of the funerals reported even took place in Alexandria.

The Egyptian Gazette is a typical daily newspaper that not only gives the news that occurs around Egypt, but provides advertisements for local businesses in addition to other stories about what is going on in the world.
