Egypt
Abydos Lecture Dr Matthew Adams
http://touregypt.net/TEBlog/luxornews/?p=195
It's just as well that Jane has been as alert as ever, and has published the latest lecture notes from the Mummificiation Museum, or it would be a somewhat empty day on the news front! This week she is reporting about the lecture by Dr Matthew Adams entitled Monuments of Egypt’s Early Kings at Abydos: "The team have been at Abydos since 1991 and it is a joint University of Pennsylvania, New York Fine arts and Yale venture. They have been excavating in the area of Um el Qa’eb (Arabic for mother of pots) where there are a number of 1st and 2nd dynasty graves. This site was excavated many years ago and is now being re-excavated."
