Question for the hive-mind: does anyone know where I can get my hands on "The Rash Adventurer: A Life of John Pendlebury" by Imogen Grundon? Earlier this year, I read Mary Chubb's "Nefertiti Lived Here" & now really want to read more about Pendlebury. #Egyptology #AncientEgypt #Archaeology #Books

Later I'll be moderating this great webinar on the Dakhleh Oasis in the Late Neolithic, particularly looking at the Sheikh Muftah Cultural Unit. You're all welcome to join! Book your place below. #Archaeology #Egyptology #Prehistory #Neolithic #AncientSky

Locality 136 near modern Teneida is one of the largest Sheikh Muftah settlements in Dakhleh. Stretching 1000+ years, it held hearths, a possible dwelling and 500+ stone tools. Join us next week to find out more: gogetfunding.com/dakhleh-oasi... #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #Prehistory #AncientSky

Visited the archaeological site of Carnuntum, just outside of Vienna, this weekend. The reconstructed city quarter is very well done! It really allows you to immerse yourself in Roman life. Strongly recommend a visit: www.carnuntum.at/en #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #History #AncientBlueSky

Starting off the week by listening to the entire Epic: The Musical! For those who might not know about this phenomenon, it's a brilliant adaptation of Homer's Odyssey by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Just check it out...it's amazing. #EpicTheMusical open.spotify.com/playlist/3sd...

Eu não vou estar aqui com grandes análises políticas sobre os resultados de ontem. Apenas quero dizer o seguinte: o PSD e o PS já há muito tempo que andam a brincar com o fogo. O fogo está agora em 3o lugar, prácticamente empatado com o PS. #eleicoes2025

Saturday was the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Discrimination and hatred against LGBT people not only persists, but is on the rise in many places. Together, we have to guard and push back against the immorality of this hatred. #IDAHOBIT

Let's start the week on a positive: Austria won Eurovision! I'm particularly psyched because it was my favourite 😁 Here's the winning entry 🤩 #ESC #ESC2025 youtu.be/onOex2WXjbA?...

So, my top 3 for the 2nd Semifinal: 🇦🇹 🇬🇷 🇱🇹! Special mention to 🇩🇰 🇷🇸 . #ESC #ESC2025

Time for the 2nd Eurovision Semifinal! 😁 Particularly looking forward to Austria's entry, which as of now is my favourite! #ESC #ESC2025

Some great articles to add to the reading list if, like me, you're interested in trade and connections in the ancient world. #Archaeology #Trade #AncientSky

You can now register below for the next @egyptdop.bsky.social webinar, which I'm excited to be moderating! #Archaeology #History #HistorySky #WW1

A great song to start the day 😊 open.spotify.com/track/2HeLqR...

Eurovision Semifinal #1 top 3: 🇦🇱 🇳🇱 🇸🇪 Also, the hostess is hilarious! #ESC #ESC2025

If anyone asks why I watch Eurovision, my answer will now include Espresso Macchiato.

Eurovision time!!! 1st Semifinal, looking forward to it 😁

Another exciting webinar by the DOP coming up next month. Very much looking forward to moderating it. It'll be an fascinating break, and quite the time travel, from my Old Kingdom Egypt work 😊 Stay tuned below! #Archaeology #Egypt #HistorySky #WW1

Habemus papam!

If you're looking for a good Egyptology book to read, I strongly recommend "Nefertiti Lived Here" by Mary Chubb. It's a great book. I wrote a short review, you can check it out here: archaeojorge.wordpress.com/2025/04/29/b... #AncientEgypt #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientSky

As mentioned yesterday, I've started a blog on Egyptology & Archaeology, where I'll be sharing some thoughts throughout my research journey. This link should now work for all browsers! Feel free to stop by and say hi 😊 #AncientEgypt #Archaeology #Egyptology #AncientSky archaeojorge.wordpress.com

Hi everyone, I'm launching a blog focused on Egyptology and Archaeology! I'll be using it as a platform to share some thoughts throughout my research journey. You're welcome to stop by and leave your thoughts 😊 #AncientEgypt #AncientSky #Archaeology #Egyptology www.archaeojorge.wordpress.com

Here is more information about the exciting new discovery at Saqqara of the tomb of Prince Waser-if-Re, son of King Userkaf, of the 5th Dynasty. #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

An exciting Old Kingdom discovery in Saqqara! The tomb of 5th Dynasty prince Wesir-ef-Ra, evidence of Late Period reuse, statues of Pharaoh Djoser & his family. Fascinating material! Will share more soon. Meanwhile on Facebook: t.co/KxUuMwnNZp #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

The @theees.bsky.social has a great collection of archival photos online, including photos from the 1930 expedition to Tell el-Amarna. It's awesome to see photos of the finds that Mary Chubb wrote about in her book. www.flickr.com/photos/egypt... #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

I've just finished reading the brilliant "Nefertiti Lived Here" by Mary Chubb, about her time at the @theees.bsky.social excavations in Tell el-Amarna in 1930. Such a great book. Cannot recommend enough! Does anyone have any recommendations of other books like this? #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

Was going through my MA Egyptology notes and came across a great lecture we listened to on ancient beekeeping 🐝 The earliest evidence of domesticated bees and beekeeping comes from the Sun Temple of Nyuserre (5th Dynasty). You can see it below (references in the image). #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

I've written to my MEPs to call on the EU to take decisive action against Hungary for its oppression. You can reach out to your MEPs in the LIBE Committee and DROI Subcommittee and call for action. I have put both links in the image below. #LGBTRights #EqualRights

Two days ago, Hungary enshrined its crackdown on civil rights into the constitution. The EU must act decisively, because an attack on democracy, liberty and civil rights in one Member State is an attack on the entire Union. #LGBTRights #CivilRights

Well, I've been considering popping over to Carnuntum from Vienna for a day, so I guess this is the universe telling me to go! 😁 Exciting Roman period find on the Danube, read below for more! #Archaeology #AncientSky

Excellent resource launched by IFAO! 🤩 Already going through the great photos of rock art on the island of Sehel on the First Cataract, which were a great source for my MA thesis on the economic hinterlands of Elephantine during the Old Kingdom. #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

The free, democratic, liberal world should not be in the business of banning books, and should certainly not bow down to pressure to do so. We know where this leads. We've been here before.

What a fascinating webinar! Very happy to have moderated such a great discussion on #RockArt in the Dakhleh Oasis, by Pawel Polkowski, where we looked at, among other things, the enigmatic Bashendi figures. So much food for thought! #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

Very much looking forward to getting this book! Trade and economics was the core theme of my MA thesis, as I looked at mapping the economic hinterlands of Old Kingdom Elephantine. Fascinating topic! #Archaeology #Egyptology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

Really looking forward to moderating this exciting webinar later today on #RockArt in the Dakhleh Oasis with Pawel Polkowski! It's not too late to sign up, check out the details below! #Egyptology #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

Got to watch the amazing classic "The Great Dictator" yesterday in cinema. The film resonates in our time, given the growing threats to our democracies. Here's the famous speech from the film. Worth a watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY1Xg6X20

Last day to download this excellent resource! Just downloaded mine, and can't wait to read it 🧐 #Egyptology #AncientEgypt #AncientSky
