Egypt

Research: Amarna funding from Bloomsbury SS

Bloomsbury Summer School

Thanks to Lucia Gahlin for letting me know that the last Bloomsbury Summer School in Egypt with Barry Kemp at Amarna raised nearly £6000.00 for the Amarna Trust - excellent news. Wish I could have been there!

It is good to see the latest Bloomsbury programme up on the website (held in London, UK). For those of you studying hieroglyphs on your own you may be interested to know that Jose Perez-Accino is taking a next-steps hieroglyph class this year. There are lots of other week-long courses too.

Lucia has kindly sent me some Amarna photos which will be featured in future Photo for Today slots.
