Abydos Lecture Dr Matthew Adams

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."
