So it turns out that Egyptology is a discipline of databases! Something for (almost) every niche -- check out this list and be amazed :-)

[A. Ilin-Tomich @ailintom]

Tobias Konrad and I prepared a Bibliography of Egyptological databases and datasets to give an overview of publicly available databases in Egyptology(past and present).Description: https://t.co/aRLdKxveWm Library: https://t.co/H9ODEp5VmC Corrections/additions highly appreciated

Our work re-configuring narratology for Egyptology has just hit the press in open access! Very exciting! https://t.co/CVRPQsb44x

@FDS_III Yes, apologies! I found out too late...

[Camilla Di Biase-Dyson @DiBiaseDyson]

Beyond excited that my new work on pedagogic practice in Ancient Egypt has just appeared in JEA and is open access: https://t.co/Qg3urrUWnx. Spoiler: I think I found a new type of scribal exercise... ;-)

Hello archaeologists! Who can recommend a moderately-priced tablet ($EUR/USD 1K or $AUD 1.5K) for use in the field? Does anyone have experience with using e-ink tablets in the field? Thanks!!!

[Camilla Di Biase-Dyson @DiBiaseDyson]

@uroshmatic Super, thanks so much, Uroš! Very helpful!

For this #WorldTeachersDay, here's an Egyptian writing board in the MET's collection. The apprentice scribe is clearly fumbling with imperfectly formed, unevenly spaced hieroglyphs... which is probably what my @egittologiaPISA students are struggling with now 🙃

There is a comet (67P) of which every area is named after an Egyptian god! https://t.co/jn7mEPby7F. Fascinatingly, some names are not arbitrary, e.g., Hapi for the middle section (like the Nile). The probe giving us information about the comet is, tellingly, called 'Rosetta' <3
