Happy 30th birthday to the #NationalLottery from the Egypt Exploration Society! Thanks to the support of Lottery Players and The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The Egypt Exploration Society is developing plans for a major regeneration to create an accessible future for our unique collections and for British #Egyptology

I’m SO excited to announce that this Thursday at 5:30pm I will be doing a live mummification demo with/on the incredible Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk! Watch me get Philomena ready for the afterlife at the Lamb’s Conduit Street Christmas Fair! #history #comedy #Cunk #egyptology

Cunk and Scrivens, the duo dreams are made of. (From my mummification demo at last night’s Lamb’s Conduit Street Christmas Fair for The Egypt Exploration Society) #PhilomenaCunk #comedy #egyptology #ancientegypt #history #education #heritage #engagement #archaeology

Friday was the #launch for ‘Women in Transition’, a fantastic #book in which I wrote about connections between femininity and the primordial in ancient #Egypt. It came out in 2021 when covid restrictions were still tricky, so it was great to finally celebrate! #egyptology #gender

Our ‘Building the Future’ campaign aims to make the EES and its collections #accessible for all by transforming our premises into a new #heritage centre. We believe everyone has the right to be part of the exciting story of British #Egyptology, whatever their needs or background!

Looking forward to talking all things #goddess tomorrow in my lecture for the Southampton #AncientEgypt society!

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating! 🌙 ✨

Happy #mothersday Mums, whether your current vibe is the joyous wine-sated mother #goddess Hathor, or the Lady Naunakhte whose will cuts off ungrateful kids. And if your relationship with your mother is hard, I salute your inner Neith, self-created mother of the world #egyptology

Very excited to receive my reviewer copy of ‘Thutmose III and Hatshepsut: Pharaohs of Egypt’ by Aidan Dodson and AUC Press - @aucpress.bsky.social! Catch my review in the autumn issue of Egyptian Archeology magazine from The Egypt Exploration Society. #egyptology #ancientegypt #newbook #history #archaeology

Happy #StGeorgesDay to folks marking it! St George is venerated as ‘Prince of the Martyrs’ in the #Egyptian Coptic Church. Some say his famous dragon-slaying depictions draw on ancient models, such as this #Nubian carving of Horus as a Roman horseman spearing a crocodile #history

It’s #LondonMarathon day, which is kinda like the Egyptian Sed festival on a huge scale. The ‘Heb Sed’ was held on the king’s 30th jubilee (then every 3 years) to ritually renew their rule. They ran a course representing the borders of #Egypt and their dominion over them.
