@EgyptMcr @EugeneCann17 @TheEES And the Cairo and Berlin busts were almost certainly made by different craftspeople as they were both found still within the workshops in which they were made. The Berlin bust in the Thurmond Workshop and the Cairo one in the “Waddington Workshop”

Thanks so much for inviting me to contribute, @HMaloigne! Was such a pleasure ☺️

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.

Sit down outside for a quick breather before a lecture and this beauty appears from the bushes and climbs into my lap 😍🐈

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!

@CGraves88 @TheEES @ASA_1893 @Graecoromanegy @DinaGohar7 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!

Back in Cairo after a whirlwind weekend in Alexandria - which included a Friday stroll with @CGraves88 around the city, including a visit to the Serapeum.

[Dr Stephanie Boonstra @Steph_Boonstra]

@CGraves88 @TheEES @ASA_1893 @Graecoromanegy 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 🐈 ☺️

[Dr Stephanie Boonstra @Steph_Boonstra]

@CGraves88 @TheEES @ASA_1893 @Graecoromanegy @DinaGohar7 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.

[Dr Stephanie Boonstra @Steph_Boonstra]

@DinaGohar7 @TheEES @CGraves88 It was so lovely to see you, Dina! Thank you for the fascinating tour of the National Museum - inshallah see you again in warmer, dryer weather!!

[Dr Stephanie Boonstra @Steph_Boonstra]

Happy #Caturday from the Alexandria @Graecoromanegy collection of the cats of the Boubasteion!

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.

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.

The preparations continue! Meeting at the @EgyptianMuseumC this afternoon to discuss logistics. Watch this space to see what we’ve been up to! 👀
