Conference News: Egyptological Colloquium 2009


Heritage Key (Sean Williams)

A summary of some of the main themes of the Colloquium.

This year's Egyptological Colloquium, held in the British Museum's fantastic BP Lecture Theatre, was roundly applauded as a great success. No fewer than eighteen gifted minds took to the lectern, as a glut of opinions, theories, excavations and discoveries were explored to a large audience's enthralment. Some of the speeches were incredibly specialist; others not so. But what is certain is that the past week has seen some of the most compelling and intriguing axioms on one of Ancient Egypt's greatest pieces of iconography, the Book of the Dead. From colours to kingdoms, magic bricks to evil demons; the colloquium had it all in abundance. And Heritage Key is on hand to give you all the best of the event's ideas from the bleeding edge of Egyptology.
