Next Saturday 11th October, I'll be travelling up to Barnsley to deliver a lecture for the wonderful Hapy Egyptology Society. This lecture will be an overview to my work on disability in Ancient Egypt, focusing primarily on what we can tell about the ancient Egyptian's attitudes towards disability.

Doing some prep work to find modern graffiti in Egypt. Frediani, Domenico Ermenegildo ‘Amiro’ seems like a right dick.

Amazing artwork by @ciaraioch.bsky.social bringing to life the mythology of Princess Scotia’s journey to Ireland! @issegyptomania.bsky.social
Doodled some new box art in Tralee of Scotia, the Egyptian royal from Irish mythology who, while pregnant, fought in a battle and died just outside Tralee - her grave is said to be marked by a large stone in Scotia's Glen. Thanks @nonfaction.com for coordinating!

This is an amazing read and great to see Dr Hincks get the credit he deserves. As Irving Finkel so eloquently put it, he was ‘a f&€king genius!’
Finally, an article on the decipherment of cuneiform that does justice to the many figures involved, the timeline, competition, and sheer philological grit.
Fascinating and colourful synopsis of how we came to be able to read tablets from ancient Mesopotamia www.smithsonianmag.com/history/myst...

In the 1850s, cuneiform was just a series of baffling scratches on clay, waiting to spill the secrets of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia

This is depressing reading on the erasure of humanities at Cardiff - a department that saved me, and my PhD, from another university ruined by cuts in the humanities.
The DESTRUCTION OF THE HUMANITIES at Cardiff University
Management seems to think that Humanities scholars don't know how to read statistics
Diving into their proposals shows how they are trying to hide the true extent of damage to Humanities disciplines here
