How a wonderful evening @britishacademy.bsky.social Summer Showcase. Highlight was, of course, hearing from Elif Shafak. Eloquent, thoughtful, and inspirational 🥰

It was such an honour to launch @theees.bsky.social latest book, Amelia B Edwards: The 'Queen of Egyptology' for #PrideMonth2025 at Bolton Museum. Read all about the launch and my sincere thanks to Ian Trumble and Prof Joann Fletcher here: www.ees.ac.uk/resource/his...

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? It is good and proper in a well-kept library to dispose of books.

🥰🥰🥰

That’s a wrap! Our @theees.bsky.social Lost Cities of Lower Egypt tour has come to an end. An energetic final few days around the Faiyum facing sun and sandstorms! 😬 Thank you to all those who joined me - it was a dream come true! 🤩

Very appropriate socks for our visit to Bubastis and Tanis yesterday as @theees.bsky.social Lost Cities of Lower #Egypt tour went to the eastern delta. Very soon we’ll be heading off to the Faiyum to end our journey!

Today @theees.bsky.social members have (literally!) walked the history of #Cairo from the Tulunids to tomorrow… ‘Travels through time and space’ may be our next tour! 😂

When @theees.bsky.social members say they want to visit #GrandEgyptianMuseum #GEM, they mean business! Over 6 hours and most are organising further visits 😅

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… 🤔

The north of #Egypt is a very special place 🥰 Visits to Qaitbey Fort and Ottoman houses with @theees.bsky.social members at Rashid (Rosetta) today before arriving in #Alexandria.

We’re about to drive up to Rashid and Alexandria for #EESLostCities. Here are some sounds of #Cairo for you this morning. We’ll be back in a few days 🤩 The start of another adventure with @theees.bsky.social members!

Ooo and what are the chances that i’ll be visiting Rashid tomorrow with @theees.bsky.social members!? 🤩

I’ll never be this cool 🫣 #Nefertiti #Egypt #Cairo

It’s finally here. The adventure begins tomorrow 🤩🤩🤩 We’ll be travelling across Lower Egypt finding evidence of lost cities and landscapes. Join us virtually on social media!

Finally back in #Cairo #Egypt and i visited the new Grand Egyptian Museum. It’s incredible! Cannot wait to visit with members of @theees.bsky.social next week 🤩

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

Thanks to @cgraves88.bsky.social and @momoulton.bsky.social for a great lecture and a thought-provoking discussion. It was a pleasure to have you back on campus, Carl!

I hope this is of interest to @theees.bsky.social members and even those who followed @profaliceroberts.bsky.social up the Nile (by train!) a few years ago 😁

Welcome to colleagues @griffithinstitute.bsky.social! 👋

Are you anxious about #ClimateChange and the impact it is having on #heritage? Last year, thanks to the support of @britishacademy.bsky.social and the Barakat Trust, we explored these issues in an online conference and Creative Climate Leadership Retreat.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s a picture of my cat to celebrate (try finding him!).🐱 🎄

Really excited to explore Lower Egypt from Alexandria in March/April next year with members of @theees.bsky.social. Check out the itinerary here: www.ees.ac.uk/whats-on/eve...

My copy has finally arrived today: “Howard Carter: from tracer to Tutankhamun” by Carl Graves. I am really looking forward to reading this book 😊 Yet, I wonder whether I will hear @cgraves88.bsky.social’s voice in my head while reading this… 😉 Many heartfelt congratulations on the publication!

Cunk and Scrivens, the duo dreams are made of. (From my mummification demo at last night’s Lamb’s Conduit Street Christmas Fair for @theees.bsky.social) #PhilomenaCunk #comedy #egyptology #ancientegypt #history #education #heritage #engagement #archaeology

Is it weird to love coming home to mail from @theees.bsky.social when you actually work there?! 🤔 Congratulations to Charlotte Jordan on another brilliant issue of Egyptian Archaeology - and i LOVE the bookmark (oh, and the shameless advert 🫣).

In what may be one of the coolest things to happen to me ever, this Thursday at 5:30pm I will be doing a live mummification demo with/on the incredible Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk! Watch me get Philomena ready for the afterlife at the Lamb’s Conduit Street Christmas Fair! #history #comedy #Cunk
