An ancient Egyptian #ghost story for #Halloween : a (unfortunately fragmentary) tale of a High Priest of Amun named Khonsuemheb who summons a wandering spirit + promises to furnish a new tomb for it. Recorded in hieratic script on a New Kingdom ostracon, now @MuseoEgizio S.6619

Look at this tiny wee Middle Kingdom dignitary, so finely worked despite his small scale! 😍 Acc. No. 9647, donated by George Spiegelberg

An appropriate image to welcome a #NewYear : the horizon shown between two lions labelled 'Yesterday' (sf) & 'Tomorrow' (dwA) 2022 will be an important chance for #Egyptology to examine its past and look to the future Book of the Dead Papyrus of Anhai, c. 1100 BCE @britishmuseum

Currently a bit obsessed with the idea of the goddess Hathor casually emerging from a papyrus thicket or sacred mountain and being like "So....." 👀

#Throwback to visiting Kom Ombo temple last month and finding the patches of sunlight that threw the sumptuous relief carving into focus. Here Horus, one of two deities of the temple, is followed by a goddess 🤩❤️🇪🇬 #ThrowbackThursday #KomOmbo #relief

Back to work and some gorgeous details now on display @McrMuseum . This #scarab is part of Nub-kheper-Re, the throne name of King Intef VI, who ruled the southern part of Egypt around 1570 BCE.

When I was in primary school the teacher asked which celebrity we wanted to meet. All the boys said famous Scottish footballers. I said #TinaTurner because I'd read she thought she was Queen #Hatshepsut reincarnated... 😢

Fulfilled a long-held ambition of getting a look around KV34, the beautiful tomb of King Tuthmose IV today - and again had it all to myself for half an hour!

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and looking forward to "millions of jubilees like the sun god for ever" in 2024! 🥳✨ (Me at Karnak 2 weeks ago, with Hatshepsut's last remaining standing obelisk - in which my dear Senenmut may have had a hand!)
