Potential cocktails from ancient-Egyptian myth...think I’ll pass! 😂@MadsChawner #Sphinx18

[Sara Brio @BrioGirl24]

There’s nothing to be ashamed of in enjoying the willing suspension of disbelief surrounding the myth and magic of ancient Egypt. @EllieCDobson #Sphinx18

@EllieCDobson brings the conference home in her closing comments. Intriguingly, the Egyptian funerary architecture pictured in the middle at Highgate Cemetery actually has a lift inside to move coffins! #Sphinx18

@ArcEgyptologist This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!

Next up @BrioGirl24 on 19th C graveyards. Case study Leeds. Much influenced by classical sources rather than Egypt itself. Tenuous space between body below & grave markers above. Bram Stoker through Jewel of The Seven Stars looks at the space between in safe form of lit #Sphinx18

[Sara Brio @BrioGirl24]

Fascinating response from Anne Rice to @MadsChawner on the Egyptian origins of vampires!

[Sara Brio @BrioGirl24]

@ArcEgyptologist @TeaWithSphinx I see obelisks in 19thC cemeteries as connected to a need for legacy. Pyramids in 19thC cemeteries are rare, possibly because, classically, they housed the dead whereas an obelisk fulfilled a different role. This may be why obelisks appear even more post WWI as war memorials.

[Nichola J Tonks @NicholaTonks]

Starting them early! My hubby and children came to bring cakes for delegates at @TeaWithSphinx
, got super interested, and are now listening to @LiamMcLeod_e & @BrioGirl24 on the obelisks panel. #GeekyKids #Sphinx18
