It’s an early start but i’m on my way to Denver for the American Research Center in Egypt’s Annual Meeting… Thought i should represent my home town on arrival 😬 Stand by for weather updates and pictures of coffee 😍

I’m so pleased that i booked a ticket to attend this @bilnas.bsky.social event @britishacademy.bsky.social. Libya has always been on the periphery of my knowledge and this film made me realise how connected the histories of northern Africa are! Many thanks to @bilnas.bsky.social for organising 🤩

Leaving @theees.bsky.social is getting harder and harder as reality sinks in. Redevelopment, even for good reasons, inevitably means that we must accept change. The library may not be the same when i’m next in, but my memories will remain and our relaunch in 2028 will be accessible and sustainable.

Next in our series of #ADozenDiscoveries is ‘Pharaohs, Fellahs and Explorers’ by Amelia Edwards from @theees.bsky.social's Special Collections. Our founder aimed to make #AncientEgypt more accessible, and we continue to do so today. ℹ️ Visit Facebook or Instagram 📙 Sonia Prakash with the book

Farewell to #Alexandria, Pearl of the Mediterranean, as we begin our @theees.bsky.social journey south to #Cairo. It’s been amazing to explore some of the ancient, Medieval, and more recent history of the north west coast of #Egypt 🤩

Our @theees.bsky.social adventure in Lower #Egypt visited Taposiris Magna and #Alexandria today. More coming tomorrow too! 🫣 These places are not as ‘lost’ as we might first expect… 🤔

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.

Inspired by a lecture I attended by @cgraves88.bsky.social at @unibirmingham.bsky.social, hosted by @leireolabarria.bsky.social... We look at Amelia B. Edwards, "Queen of Egyptology" & co-founder of the Egypt Exploration Society @theees.bsky.social! #LGBTHistoryMonth #LGBTplusHM25 #LGBTQ
