Ancient Egypt Magazine
The June/July 2009 issue of “Ancient Egypt” magazine (published in the U.K.) is now available.
Contents of this issue include;
News from Egypt and the World of Egyptology: In the largest ever ‘News from the Editor’ and our regular ‘From our Egypt Correspondent’ all the latest news and information including reports on new work in the Valley of the Kings, at the Mortuary temple of Amenhotep III and at Karnak, as well as new discoveries at Dahshur, Saqqara and Giza.
The Mosque of Abu Hagag: AE has been reporting on the on-going restoration of this mosque, at the heart of the temple of Luxor. The work is almost complete and this article looks at the work on the fabric of the building and the challenges the restorers faced, following the damage in a major fire a few years ago.
Dental Health and Dentistry in ancient Egypt: Today, good dental health and visits to the dentist are normal, but things were not always so. Roger Forshaw looks at how the rich and poor of ancient Egypt looked after (or in most cases, did not look after) their teeth.
KV63 Update: the 2009 Season: AE is delighted to bring you its fifth report on the discovery of, and the contents, of tomb KV63 discovered in the Valley of the Kings in 2005. This makes the articles in AE the most comprehensive on this important discovery so far published. Roxanne Wilson looks at the coffins, their contents and their restoration as well as some of the intriguing and unique objects discovered in the many storage jars found in the tomb.
The Headrests from the Tomb of Tutankhamun: Jan Summers Duffy looks at the history of headrests and in particular at the many and splendid examples found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun.
