We've teamed up with our fellow British International Research Institutes for this years' Being Human Festival, 4-19th November, to bring you Groundbreakers at the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology!

An exhibition hosted by the Petrie Museum will highlight the pathbreaking work of British women archaeologists across the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Alongside the exhibition will be a range of talks, including a book reading about our own founder, Amelia B Edwards, on 11 November by @CGraves88 and @Beket_Aten. Join us in-person or online by reserving your ticket here:

Who ruled ancient Egypt? See how our archives have been used to demonstrate that Meretneith was a female king of Egypt over 5,000 years ago during the First Dynasty!
Have a read below and in the latest volume of Prague Egyptological Studies (36: 2026).
New research is challenging what we thought we knew about power and gender in ancient Egypt. Could one of its earliest rulers have been a woman?
