Me: Please, do not even think about it. My brain: Walk like an Egyptian 🎶 #Egypt #Egyptomania

One day I would love to be able to do a tour like this 😊 #Egypt #Egyptology

If you are interested in the ancient Egyptian society during the Ramesside Period, you can read the doctoral thesis "Zur Gesellschaft Ägyptens in der Ramessidenzeit" by Rainer Nutz for FREE here: edoc.unibas.ch/96571/1/Nutz_D… #Egypt #Egyptology

If you ever wondered about these golden flies, read T. Sidpura's PhD-thesis "Flies, Lions and Oyster Shells: Investigating Military Rewards in Ancient Egypt from the Predynastic Period to the New Kingdom (4000-1069 BCE)" for FREE here: research.manchester.ac.uk/en/studentThes… #Egypt #Egyptology

A summary of T. Sidpura's results can be found here: "Golden flies as military awards? It doesn’t fly! PhD research by Taneash Sidpura refutes a well-established theory" the-past.com/feature/golden… #Egypt #Egyptology

I cannot emphasise enough how happy I am that I do not need to draw hieroglyphs by hand for publications... They would be unreadable otherwise 🙈 #Egypt #Egyptology

This is so true: Egypt is everywhere. I love walking around cities and keeping my eyes open. You never know where you might find Egyptianising architecture and statues or shop and brand names influenced by ancient Egypt. What is your favourite? #Egypt #Egyptology #Egyptomania

The tomb of Sennefer (TT96), known as the "Tomb of the Vines", has one of the most beautiful ceilings ever. When standing in the tomb, the vines give you the impression of standing in a vine arbour 😊 More information on the tomb: osirisnet.net/tombes/nobles/… #Egypt #Egyptology

#BREAKING: Artifacts from Sudan's National Museum, including antiques, statues, and archaeological treasures of significant national, historical, and material worth, are now available for sale.

This is THE national museum of Sudan, our heritage, our history, the most important museum in the country. I went on multiple school trips there as a kid I can’t believe they’re selling its priceless artefacts on Facebook marketplace like that :(

I am really sad to miss this year’s CREgyptology, since it looks and sounds amazing—I am particularly jealous of the beautiful conference bag. I am a day late, but I wish everyone who is presenting good luck and everyone attending a great time 😊 #Egypt #Egyptology #Egyptomania

In case you are bored on the 18 September: I am giving an online talk (in English) for Huis van Horus on “The Path to Power: Education and Knowledge at the Royal Court”. This is the 1st time I am presenting my new project—so nervous. huisvanhorus.nl/online-lezing/… #Egypt #Egyptology

Sending you all windy greetings from Norddeich, Germany, where I am spending some days off! 😊

Me: I am going to the German North Sea, so that I can have a break from work and ancient Egypt. The shops in the area: A break from ancient Egypt. Hahahahahaha, no! But, to be fair, I never need or want a break from ancient Egypt anyways 😂 #Egypt #Egyptology #Egyptomania

While it was rather windy and rainy in Norddeich yesterday, the sun is out today—and a little wind very welcome 🌬️

Today, I also enjoyed a typical East Frisian cream tea with a piece of East Frisian cake, the so-called Ostfriesentorte. As they say: When in Rome (or, actually, East Frisia), do as the Romans do. It was delicious 😋

Sometimes, even ancient Egyptian gods need to use public transport… #Egypt #Egyptology #Egyptomania

If you cannot get enough of CREgyptology, you can download the proceedings of last year's CRE, CRE 2023 in Basel, for FREE here: archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/d… #Egypt #Egyptology

I am not entirely sure what to make of this suggestion: “Life is Short. Eat Desert First.” 🤔 Is this meant for Egyptologists in particular? Because I have to admit that I have indeed tasted sand when in Egypt, although by sheer mistake… 🙈

This is an amazing opportunity for people who would like to make a trip to Egypt. It is a great programme with wonderful experts. I know a couple of them personally & have even studied with one of them—actually, we had the same DPhil supervisor 😁 #Egypt #Egyptology #Egyptomania
