A recent blog by @jdmgreen traces relief fragments at @MiamiOHArtMuseu to their original provenance at the entrance hall of the Maru-Aten in Amarna, their discovery during @TheEES excavations and subsequent journey across US institutions. Read now: sites.miamioh.edu/art-museum…

Last night at @TheEES Cairo lecture, @CGraves88 demonstrated that, once again, there is so much more to learn about our founder Amelia Edwards. Visually and intellectually stimulating and nice to see @Beket_Aten pop up too! Thanks to @essamnagy678 & @BritishCouncil for hosting!

Sunday started with the loveliest visit to the National Museum of Alexandria with curator @DinaGohar7. An amazing museum, collection, building (a palace!) - and great cats 🐈 ☺️ – at Alexandria, Egypt

Despite the cold and wet weather, it was so lovely to revisit Alexandria (13 years since my last visit!) and see many old friends (incl @ziad_morsy, @DinaGohar7, & @Ahmed78Mansour) and make many new ones! Thanks for the hospitality, Alexandria! Inshallah, see you again soon! – at Alexandria, Egypt

Final stop was the ever awe inspiring @bibalexOfficial for a tour hosted by former @TheEES scholar @Ahmed78Mansour. Over 4 million books plus so much more. Very privileged to see the newly acquired handwritten dictionaries of Ahmed Kamal Bey. – at Alexandria, Egypt

Was such an honour to work with 10 amazing Egyptian scholars and the @EgyptianMuseumC to have a Walking Trail exhibition in Egypt’s “Mother Museum”. Was a lot of work but really proud to see @theEES banners welcoming all the visitors to the museum!
We're delighted to launch a walking trail in the @EgyptianMuseumC highlighting 12 discoveries made during @TheEES excavations since 1882. 10 early-career Egyptian scholars, participants of our Egyptological Archives Skills School, researched the panels. ℹ️ees.ac.uk/resource/discoveri…

Really enjoyable visit to @AUC_RBSCL to meet with Amr Kamel and view some of the huge and amazing collection of rare books and archive - much of the archive focussing on documents and work of some of the most prolific Egyptian Egyptologists. @AUC @AUC_Library

Spent a lovely morning at @ifaocaire printers, including seeing their impressive museum of 100+ yr old Egyptological printing presses. Spot the scarab type! 🪲
