Dr Penelope Wilson (EES Trustee) presents our final #EESstudyday presentation of four Delta Capitals in chronological order with Sais: The City that Overcame Instability. The only evidence to present royal tombs at Sais takes form of a fragmentary shabti of Psamtek.

#EESstudyday returns after our break with our in person speakers. First, we consider Bubastis: City of the Feline goddess with Dr Eva Lange-Athinodorou (JEA Editor). She introduces the link with the goddess Bastet. Interestingly, the names have different etymological origins.

The second Delta Capital under discussion at the #EESstudyday is Tanis, presented by Dr Frédéric Payraudeau. He starts with a consideration of previous excavations at the site and the religious similarities with the site of Karnak.

#EESstudyday Delta Dynasties: Cities of Power in #AncientEgypt starts with Dr Henning Franzmeier, discussing Qantir-Piramesse: The (Kind of) Short Life of an #Egyptian Capital. He explains how this city was made a #capital and international hub through the actions of Rameses II.

Ricardo Caminos was born on 11 July 1915! #OTD He was a professor of Egyptology at Brown University and the Society’s epigrapher (see below) before he retired in the 1980s. For his retirement, he moved next to @theees.bsky.social, which has since become the Ricardo Caminos Memorial Library.
