Of course if you're a postgrad/postdoc Egyptologist & you'd like to come and stay here you can apply to do so: https://t.co/t0HlDjobI9 As if rent-free accommodation in London wasn't enough we have significantly increased the bursaries for 2025 to £500. What are you waiting for?!

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

Really pleased to have got this done. We did everything possible to avoid scaffolding, it proved impossible in the end but the results were worth it - I'm absolutely amazed & delighted by how good everything looks now!

[RobertAndersonTrust @RARCTrust]

The exterior of the Trust’s house in Kensington – Dr Anderson’s former home – was covered with scaffolding for several months over the summer while extensive repairs were carried out to the stonework, window frames, drainage and so on. It now looks as good as new!

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

@bazzaloo Lovely, thanks! 🙏

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

My pleasure, thanks for a warm welcome!

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

Jealous!

[The Egypt Exploration Society @TheEES]

Great photo of the temple scene of Thutmose I and his mother Queen Senseneb in the chapel of Thutmose I at Deir el-Bahari, with @TheEES Chair @EgyptMcr and @DrKenGriffin, Curator of @TheEgyptCentre. There, in Swansea, you can see Howard Carter's painting of this scene on display!

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

I'm getting really behind with this sort of thing but I'm still hoping these guides are useful. A full list is here: https://t.co/5ihbzNxMZ4

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

Amenhotep & Akhenaten - a guide to further reading and links to resources online are now available here, along with a link to the talk itself: https://t.co/PS9kI7lXxB

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

My talk on the Osrieion, ‘MEGALITHS in ANCIENT EGYPT: The Osireion’, takes place tomorrow, 6 Nov 2024, see https://t.co/UpEbYZsR9g. See you there!

[Dr Chris Naunton @chrisnaunton]

In its position - deliberately built below ground - and construction, the Osireion is unique. The architecture & decoration evoke ideas connected with creation, the tomb of Osiris, and the passage of the sun through the night to be re-born into the new day.

[Dara Ó Briain @daraobriain]

Oh my! @channel5_tv are currently showing a super-cut of my two Pyramid documentaries! 1h 55 of me scrabbling around in the sand, learning loads about massive stone buildings (and not taking any of the alien stuff seriously). Right now, if you’d like a break from dancing/football

@AndresJanson @ArceMissouri @Mutey_says @k8shep As far as I know no-one here was even notified that they were being taken down - they just disappeared!
