The papyrus Iโ€™m working on here is a fragment of P. Rylands IX (the complete roll is 4.25 meters long), one of the most important Demotic papyri, dating back to the first period of Persian domination in Egypt. We are preparing some exciting things to make it more widely known! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This evening, Iโ€™m getting excited about astronomical notation on papyri. This is P.Oxy. astr. 4188, a sign-entry almanac and, as far as I know, the only Greek planetary table that indicates retrogradation. We may have discovered a Demotic one (edition forthcoming!). #papyrology

Iโ€™m writing today my report about the work I did on the astral ostraca at Athribis last week. A short but very productive research stay! Athribis is such a fascinating site, and the current archaeological project is revealing many unusual features that make it unique. Stay tuned!

๐Ÿ“– Once it is complete, this will be the most comprehensive and updated anthology of ancient Egyptian literature. The first two volumes (of a total of 8) are now available, and they are excellent! By Bernard Mathieu, in @BellesLettresEd . #TheEgyptologicalBibliophile

This image of the Rebis, the final product of the alchemical Great Work, reminds me of Horus standing on the crocodiles, an Egyptian depiction conveying magical protection over dangerous and venomous creatures, which appears on cippi, stelae, statues and amulets. (See ALT for ๐Ÿ“ธ)
