Capturing the immensity and beauty of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) in just a few photos is impossible, but here's some shots nevertheless. Truly grand! #egyptology #archaeology #museums

I've been fortunate enough lately to work at the Archives and Library of the Ifao - Institut français d'archéologie orientale in the Mounira Palace, once belonged to Princess Mounira Sultan (mid 19th century), daughter of an Ottoman Sultan and wife of Prince Ibrahim Pasha. #egyptology #egypt #academia

A day well spent in Dahshur yesterday. But I'm just not young, flexible, and fit enough to descend into such a death trap as the bent pyramid leaving unscathed 😅😭 Beware, future passers-by! #pyramids #egypt #egyptology #fieldtrip

A few photos from my recent visit to the Khanqah of Faraj ibn Barquq, a splendid example of early 15th century Mamluk funerary architecture in Cairo's Northern Cemetery, which is part of the historic "City of the Dead" necropolis districts. #egypt #cairo #mamlukperiod #travel

It seems we finally have a positive ID on the final resting place of Thutmosis II (Tomb C4, in the Western Wadis of the Theban necropolis) thanks to an Egyptian-British team (SCA & NKResearch Foundation), who have been working in the area for years 🥳 #archaeology #egyptology
