Ramadan Mubarak to all observing! 🌙

A great time at the Garden Cinema last night for a screening of the 1982 #film ‘For the Love of Egypt’ about @theees.bsky.social founder Amelia B. Edwards. Brilliant to meet Director Anna Benson Gyles and cast member Jeremy Clyde - huge congrats to @cgraves88.bsky.social for organising! #egyptology

In our February episode of #AwayWithThePharaohs, @edwardscrivens.bsky.social provides an overview of religion in ancient Egypt, before exploring the complex, fluid nature of its gods and goddesses and the rituals that empowered them. 🎧 buff.ly/3X6FHHF #AncientEgypt #Gods #Goddess #Mythology

I was positively giddy today at the Petrie Museum, where I had the chance to handle this fragment of a red jasper statue foot found at the site of Amarna. The most gorgeous ankle I ever did see! #museum #ancientegypt #egyptology #archaeology #amarna

As an ex e-learning developer, I can confidently say this will be a terrible learning experience. I cannot wait to rip it to shreds. Here's what the Free AI Training will look like 🧵 1/

Having worked on this for over 3 years, it feels amazing to share this news! @theees.bsky.social has been awarded a £2.03million grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to transform its premises into a sustainable and accessible heritage centre. #heritage #museums #archives #egyptology #funding

Some local interest on David Bowie’s birthday. I live in Beckenham, a leafy little place where Bowie lived as his career took off. The Three Tuns pub on the high street, now a chain restaurant, was home to his collective ‘the Arts Lab’. Beckenham is where he created the persona of Ziggy Stardust.

A very happy Coptic Christmas to those celebrating!

It’s 1st December and the season switch has very much been flipped here in London 🌧️❄️ Here are some photos from a walk in a local park yesterday, which was the last day of (meteorological) autumn.

So excited to see my article about curating an exhibit at @theees.bsky.social, and about the challenges/possibilities of using collections to tell stories, in the latest edition of Egyptian Archaeology magazine! #publicationday #article #ancientEgypt #heritage #curation #archives #exhibit

An honour to attend the Egyptian Embassy’s reception to mark the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, held at the British Museum. Between the esteemed company, performances of ancient hymns, and the chance to wander the Egyptian sculpture gallery out of hours, it was a wonderful night!

Had such a lovely time at the Petrie Museum last night for the launch of ‘Ancient Egypt in 50 Discoveries’, the wonderful new book from @theees.bsky.social which I’m chuffed to have written some sections of. Congratulations to the editors @stephanieboonstra.bsky.social and Campbell Price!

Wishing a Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! 🪔

We’re getting murderous tonight in CRIMINAL! 🔪 If you’re in London and are a fan of dastardly #improv deeds, come join us down at Hoopla

Get some Egypt in your ears! #AwayWithThePharaohs #podcast #egyptology #history #archaeology

Come learn about ancient Egyptian art and architecture with me! 🎨 #course #ancientegypt #egyptology #art #arthistory #archaeology #learning

So excited to see this published! 🤩 I had the privilege of writing a number of pieces in the book about key objects/sites and topics like ancient Egyptian religion and art. Grab your copy of this gorgeous little book from the EES website! 📚 #newbook #ancientegypt #history #egyptology #archaeology

‘In a city full of big exhibitions, sometimes it’s the smallest that delights the most…’ A lovely surprise to see that my spotlight exhibit at @theees.bsky.social has been featured on London institution IanVisits! #egyptology #archives #museums #heritage #Hatshepsut #Nefertiti #archaeology

I had a great time showing Alicia round @theees.bsky.social for the Science Factory #podcast! Check it out for a peak inside the EES, a chat about #Hatshepsut and #Nefertiti, and to hear stories of life at the Society and our plans for the future! #egyptology #archaeology #heritage #archives

I had the best time last night at Snapchat’s London HQ for the launch of Bettany Hughes’ new #documentary series ‘Seven Wonders of the Ancient World’! The series looks brilliant, with an exciting use of #augmentedreality to bring these monuments to life. #ancienthistory #popularhistory #archaeology

Honoured to be invited to the residence of His Excellency the Egyptian Ambassador in celebration of Egypt’s National Day 🇪🇬 #Egypt #Heritage #Egyptology #Embassy

In honour of #worldUFOday, here’s an old video essay of mine. 4 years old but it bears repeating: ‘Ancient Aliens is Racist’. youtu.be/htUgMDtqJQ8?... #archaeology #history #racisim #colonialism #ancientaliens #ancientastronauts #atlantis #conspiracytheories #pseudoarchaeology

My offering this #MonumentMonday comes from yesterday’s visit to the Iron Age hut circles of Tŷ Mawr, Anglesey. #archeology #history #wales #anglesey #heritage

Check out my new piece for @theees.bsky.social, in which I search for stories of the groundbreaking female rulers #Hatshepsut and #Nefertiti among the EES’ amazing archival collections. #egypt #egyptology #archaeology #archives #history #heritage www.ees.ac.uk/resource/hat...

Not to say brat was written about me but I’m considering having a coffee after 6pm

Went on a little jaunt to Eltham Palace today! Art Deco meets medieval, with what looks to be an Amarna-inspired embodiment of ‘the ancient world’ as an Egyptianising figure. @englishheritage.bsky.social #history #heritage #architecture #egypt #egyptology #1930s #egyptomania #london

I recently got back from a trip to Crete, where I took a turn around ancient Aptera - cisterns and bathhouses and theatres, oh my! #archaeology #history #crete #greece #greek #hellenistic #roman

Happy Sunday from my leafy little corner of southeast London

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. The pharaoh ran a course representing the borders of #Egypt, symbolising dominion over the country. #history

Happy #StGeorgesDay to folks marking it! St George is venerated as ‘The 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 #archaeology

Happy Easter to those celebrating!

Some timely words from Judith Butler.

Very excited to receive my reviewer copy of ‘Thutmose III and Hatshepsut: Their Lives and Afterlives’ by Aidan Dodson and @aucpress.bsky.social! Catch my review in the autumn issue of Egyptian Archeology magazine from @theees.bsky.social #egyptology #ancientegypt #newbook #history #archaeology

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

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating! 🌙 ✨

Working on a little something at @theees.bsky.social, have loved spending time in the #archive with materials like these beautiful 19th Century #watercolours of fragments from Deir el-Bahari. Made by Rosalind F. E. Paget, one of the many #women whose work has shaped #Egyptology.

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

Seen the exciting news of Thutmose II? @theees.bsky.social members heard it first! In 2023, Piers Litherland shared the #discovery of this #pharaoh's tomb in #EgyptianArchaeology 63! Join us to explore the latest groundbreaking discoveries in our magazine online: www.ees.ac.uk/support-us/m...

It’s a dark and wet Monday morning here in London, so here are some photos from a bright wintery walk in my local park the other day. Did you know that London is one of the world’s largest urban forests? #greenspace #woods #trees #nature #winter #London

Met some historical movers and shakers today when visiting Southwark Cathedral! John Gower (1327-1408) was an early English poet, a chum of Chaucer who was acquainted with Richard II and Henry IV. Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626) was on the team that translated the King James Bible. #history #london
