Study of Ancient Egypt
POPULARITY
Measuring 240 feet long from paw to tail, and around the height of a six-story building, the Great Sphinx is one of Egypt's most spectacular, and mysterious, monuments. Believed to have been built over four millennia ago, much of its story has been lost to history, and the rest is shrouded in myth. So what do we know about who built it? What caused such an impressive structure to be forgotten for centuries? And how is it being protected today? This is a Short History Of The Egyptian Sphinx. A Noiser Production. Written by Nicole Edmunds. With thanks to Salina Ikram, a professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo. Get every episode of Short History Of a week early with Noiser+.

In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes author and head of the Pharaohs Pump Foundation, Steven Myers, to discuss the recent scans of the Khafre pyramid in Egypt. What is to be made of these scans and the bombshell scientific claims that a massive complex has been detected underneath the famed landmark? Could these ground-shaking findings be real, and if so, what does it mean for Archeology and Egyptology alike? In the second part of the episode, we welcome back Marla Wynn Cooper, author and niece of the infamous DB Cooper, the man who went down in infamy as the only skyjacker to ever evade the FBI. How did she come to discover her relation to the famed skyjacker, and how did she uncover the trail of clues that confirmed her family's story? Join the Curious Realm as we delve into the topics of the Khafre pyramid scans with Steven Myers and the DB Cooper mystery with Marla Wynn Cooper.

Send us a textA chance encounter with the ancient acoustics of Egypt's Great Pyramid transformed John Stewart-Reed from an acoustics engineer into a pioneering scientist on a mission to unlock the healing power of sound. During our conversation, John reveals the extraordinary moment when a simple sound experiment unexpectedly healed his debilitating back pain – a discovery that would change his life's trajectory and potentially revolutionize our understanding of healing.The cymascope, John's groundbreaking invention, allows us to literally see sound – revealing intricate geometric patterns in water that mirror the acoustic vibrations creating them. Through this technology, John shares how dolphins might be communicating in sound-pictures rather than words, sending actual visual information through acoustic signals. This same principle explains why human blood cells dramatically regenerate when exposed to specific frequencies, with laboratory tests confirming a 15-18% increase in red blood cell viability after just 20 minutes of musical immersion.Perhaps most fascinating is John's explanation of sound's spiritual dimension. He details how sound waves enter through our eyes, travel along water-rich pathways to our pineal gland, and potentially enhance our connection to higher consciousness. The specific frequency E3 (165Hz) appears particularly effective at stimulating this spiritual center – a finding that bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge acoustic science.With "frequency medicine" already gaining acceptance in mainstream hospitals through light therapy and music treatments, John's research stands at the threshold between conventional medicine and a new paradigm of healing.

Grab your maps and your best adventuring hat—we're heading to Hamunaptra! This episode, we revisit The Mummy (1999), the action-packed, horror-tinged romp that gave us peak Brendan Fraser, iconic Rachel Weisz librarian energy, and a whole lot of sand. Does this late-'90s classic still hold up, or is it buried under the weight of CGI scarabs and questionable Egyptology? More importantly, does it get even better with a little herbal enhancement? Join us as we unravel ancient curses, appreciate the sheer charisma of Fraser, and debate whether Imhotep was really that bad.

In this episode, Robert and Dr. Manu Seyfzadeh explore the latest claims from a team of Italian researchers who used synthetic aperture radar to detect what may be massive underground structures beneath Khafre's Pyramid—giant vertical shafts wrapped in spiral staircases, a limestone platform housing two enormous chambers, and a possible ancient water system over 2,100 feet deep. While some experts have pushed back against the findings, the potential implications are profound. Beyond the new discovery, the conversation dives into the science behind SAR scanning and seismic resonance, connections to Dr. Robert Schoch's original findings under the Sphinx, and the possibility of validating ancient legends through modern technology. Robert also reveals a remarkable Da Vinci sketch from Codex Atlanticus that appears to depict internal structures of Khafre's pyramid, long before any were known—raising fascinating questions about lost knowledge, time, and consciousness.

In the latest episode of Unlocking Academia, Tarin Ahmed, the host, unpacks the translation of this incredible text with Tim Mackintosh-Smith, a Senior Research Fellow at New York University in Abu Dhabi, the translator of this publication. Tim shares his story of how he first came across the original source text, his journey of translation, and even anecdotes on friendships and wonderful memories made along the way. A Physician on the Nile (NYU Press, 2022) begins as a description of everyday life in Egypt at the turn of the seventh/thirteenth century, before becoming a harrowing account of famine and pestilence. Written by the polymath and physician ʿAbd al-Laṭīf al-Baghdādī, and intended for the Abbasid caliph al-Nāṣir, the first part of the book offers detailed descriptions of Egypt's geography, plants, animals, and local cuisine, including a recipe for a giant picnic pie made with three entire roast lambs and dozens of chickens. ʿAbd al-Laṭīf's text is also a pioneering work of ancient Egyptology, with detailed observations of Pharaonic monuments, sculptures, and mummies. An early and ardent champion of archaeological conservation, ʿAbd al-Laṭīf condemns the vandalism wrought by tomb-robbers and notes with distaste that Egyptian grocers price their goods with labels written on recycled mummy-wrappings. The book's second half relates his horrific eyewitness account of the great famine that afflicted Egypt in the years 597–598/1200–1202. ʿAbd al-Laṭīf was a keen observer of humanity, and he offers vivid first-hand depictions of starvation, cannibalism, and a society in moral free-fall. A Physician on the Nile contains great diversity in a small compass, distinguished by the acute, humane, and ever-curious mind of its author. It is rare to be able to hear the voice of such a man responding so directly to novelty, beauty, and tragedy. Learn more about your ad choices.

00:00:00 - The show kicks off with Mike, Joe, and Cratchit discussing various topics, including a humorous take on finding out who really killed JFK. They dive into the latest "hot drops" of newly released JFK files and discuss the lack of a definitive "CIA did it" admission. The conversation moves to Alex Jones' latest clips, featuring bizarre rants and moments from his broadcasts. 00:10:00 - The team discusses Trump's State of the Union, with speculation about his behavior and an exaggerated joke about him guzzling feces. They transition into discussing the release of new JFK files, highlighting missing documents, specifically a conversation between Lyndon Johnson and the CIA director. They note that some files are being removed post-release, possibly to cover sensitive information. 00:20:00 - More on the JFK files: suspicions arise that a rogue CIA faction played a role in the assassination, with connections to Israel and intelligence agencies. They discuss the theory that JFK was killed due to his stance on Israel's nuclear program and currency reform. The files suggest multiple groups with separate motivations united to take down Kennedy, reinforcing the idea that it was not just a lone gunman scenario. 00:30:00 - They discuss the underground structures beneath the Giza pyramids, uncovered through radar technology. The findings indicate a vast, interconnected system, contradicting mainstream Egyptology's claims that the pyramids were merely tombs. Various theories are explored, including the pyramids being an ancient energy source, a weapon, or part of a global civilization that existed before recorded history. 00:40:00 - A bizarre story emerges from an Antarctic research station where a staff member has threatened to kill a colleague, raising concerns about the psychological impact of isolation. The discussion compares this incident to classic horror movie plots like The Thing. They explore the station's remote conditions and past incidents of violence among its personnel. 00:50:00 - The hosts review street interviews showing young people's lack of basic knowledge about geography and history, fueling concerns about education and awareness. They also discuss a trans person asking for advice on relocating due to perceived hostility in America. The hosts push back against the idea that trans individuals face universal oppression, arguing that most people are indifferent to others' lifestyles. 01:00:00 - The conversation shifts to media bias, focusing on the New York Times admitting that the COVID-19 lab-leak theory was dismissed unfairly. They criticize mainstream media for covering up information and later backtracking when it's no longer politically inconvenient. They also highlight past New York Times failures in reporting on major historical events. 01:10:00 - A discussion of the political podcast landscape, showing that independent and right-leaning voices dominate in terms of audience numbers. They argue that mainstream media still controls the larger narrative but is losing credibility. Fitness and masculinity are also discussed, with a joke about how working out is now considered a "far-right" activity. 01:20:00 - The topic of taxation comes up, with criticisms of government overreach. They argue that high taxes are essentially theft and that politicians act as though taxpayers' money belongs to them. A clip of Chuck Schumer discussing taxation is played, leading to a critique of government inefficiency and waste. 01:30:00 - The show closes with reflections on how billionaires are portrayed as villains. Elon Musk is used as an example of someone vilified despite achieving remarkable technological feats. They discuss whether billionaires should be taxed heavily, arguing that government mismanagement of money is a bigger issue. The episode wraps up with a mix of humor and frustration about the state of media, politics, and taxation. 01:40:00 - The "Toe Taker" Story: The crew discusses a disturbing story about a person caught stealing people's toes. The bizarre crime leaves them baffled, with speculation about whether it's some kind of ritual, fetish, or medical black market situation. They joke about the logistics of such an act and how someone could pull it off without being noticed. 01:50:00 - Golden Corral Buffet Chaos: A wild brawl breaks out at a Golden Corral buffet after a disagreement over steak availability. The hosts discuss the absurdity of a full-scale fight breaking out over food and how buffet culture seems to bring out the worst in some people. They reflect on other infamous food-related altercations and how tensions always seem to escalate in all-you-can-eat settings. 02:00:00 - Weird News Wrap-Up & Final Thoughts: They close out the episode with a rapid-fire discussion of more weird stories, including the state of fast food, strange encounters at truck stops, and society's declining common sense. They wrap up with a few closing thoughts on the bigger themes of the episode, mainly government overreach, media manipulation, and how people are being distracted by nonsense. - Affiliates Links - Jackery: https://shrsl.com/3cxhf Barebones: https://bit.ly/3G38773 - OBDM Merch - https://obdm.creator-spring.com/ Buy Tea!

Time to head beyond the bounds. Bird bone robots arrive as we check out some of Yoji Shinkawa's Zone of the Enders designs, one of the lesser Kojima series (by sales at least, I think they're great). Spindly weirdos meet clunky big boys, and then we close it out with a dash of evil femme by way of Egyptology. I wish he was working on something other than Death Stranding 2- I will play that game, but the like Wet Oil aesthetic those games have does not speak to me.

Through a thoughtful investigation, Disability in Ptolemaic Egypt and the Hellenistic World: Plato's Stepchildren (Routledge, 2024) reveals often-overlooked narratives of disability within Ptolemaic Egypt and the larger Hellenistic world (332 BCE to 30 BCE). Chapters explore evidence of physical and intellectual disability, ranging from named individuals; representations of people and mythological figures with dwarfism, blindness and vision impairments; cerebral palsy; mobility impairments; spinal disability; and medicine, healing, and prosthetics. Morris examines the historiographical ways in which disability has been approached, and how ancient disability histories are (mis)represented in various contemporary spaces. It uses terminology informed by the disability community and offers guidance for disability inclusivity in curatorial and pedagogical museum and university contexts, as well as prioritizing disability as an essential area of research in ancient world studies and assisting readers with the identification of ancient disability artefacts. The first-book length treatment of the subject, Disability in Ptolemaic Egypt and the Hellenistic World provides a much-needed resource for students and scholars of ancient Egypt, Egyptology, Classics, Classical Studies, and disability in the ancient world. It is also suitable for researchers in Disability Studies, practitioners in broader Ancient World Studies, and museum and heritage professionals. It is accessible to disabled people curious about their own history, as well as nondisabled people interested in disability history and those interested in a more accurate view of ancient Egyptian history.

La Voce di oggi è quella dell'eccentrico, ma geniale Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942). Archeologo meticoloso e brillante, non a caso noto con l'appellativo di Padre dell'Egittologia, scavò più di chiunque altro in Egitto e nei suoi settant'anni di carriera arrivò a pubblicare un migliaio fra monografie, articoli e riviste. Grazie al suo acume e alla sua sensibilità archeologica fu il primo a comprendere l'importanza storica di tutti i manufatti e non solo di quelli iscritti e/o architettonici. Fra i suoi incalcolabili meriti, quello di aver regalato all'archeologia una formidabile intuizione...Bibliografia:W.

Today I talked to Kara Cooney about Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches (American U in Cairo Press, 2024). The book is a meticulous study of the social, economic, and religious significance of coffin reuse and development during the Ramesside and early Third Intermediate periods, illustrated with over 900 images. Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology, and the numerous tombs, coffins, Books of the Dead, and mummies of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties have not been fully utilized as social documents, mostly because the data of this time period is scattered and difficult to synthesize. This culmination of fifteen years of coffin study analyzes coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-second Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation. Many Twentieth to Twenty-second Dynasty coffins show evidence of reuse from other, older coffins, as well as obvious marks where gilding or inlay have been removed. Innovative vignettes painted onto coffin surfaces reflect new religious strategies and coping mechanisms within this time of crisis, while advances in mummification techniques reveal an Egyptian anxiety about long-term burial without coffins as a new style of stuffed and painted mummy was developed for the wealthy. It was in the context of necropolis insecurity, economic crisis, and group burial in reused and unpainted chambers that a complex, polychrome coffin style emerged. The first part of this book focuses on the theory and evidence of coffin reuse, contextualized within the social collapse that characterized the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties. The second part presents photo essays of annotated visual data for over sixty Egyptian coffins from the so-called Royal Caches, most of them from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Illustrated throughout with high-quality images, the line drawings and color and black-and-white photographs are ideal for careful study, especially evidenced in the digital edition, where pages can be enlarged for close examination. Kara Cooney is a professor of Egyptology and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. Specializing in social history, gender studies, and economies in the ancient world, she received her PhD in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. In 2005, she was co-curator of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Her popular books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt, When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt, and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Her latest academic book is Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions, Exploring Approaches.

My guest today is Prof. Elizabeth Frood, Associate Professor of Egyptology and Director of the Griffith Institute at the University of Oxford, UK. In a lively discussion, Dr. Frood shares her insights into ancient lives and how people living in the non-royal sphere approached their immortality. Statues, texts and graffiti show us the minds of these people and how they depicted their concerns, beliefs and ideas. It's a great conversation and I think you'll really enjoy it!

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss a new historical audiobook from Fiona Davis. Charlotte Cross is an assistant curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1978. Charlotte is quietly conducting Egyptology research that harkens back to her devastating experience in Egypt in 1936. Linda Jones's excellent narration reflects Charlotte's ambivalence: She's determined to prove her controversial theory about an Egyptian ruler but fearful of returning to Cairo. When an artifact is stolen, Charlotte and her young student Annie must travel to Egypt to pursue the thief and prove Charlotte's hypothesis. Read our review of the audiobook at our website.

Charlotte Cross has built a satisfying career as assistant curator in the Department of Egyptian Art at New York's Metropolitan Museum. It's 1978, the museum has just opened the Temple of Dendur and is preparing to become the last US stop for the King Tutankhamun exhibit, and Charlotte at sixty has almost completed her long-planned article on Hathorkare, one of ancient Egypt's few female pharaohs. Between that and a steady romantic relationship with the playwright Mark Schrader, life looks pretty good. But if things stopped there, the story would end before it began. In The Stolen Queen (Dutton, 2025), Fiona Davis nimbly juggles three threads and two narrators: Charlotte in 1978, Charlotte in 1936, and Annie Jenkins in 1978. What connects them, besides a shared interest in Egyptology, is the Cerulean Queen, part of an ancient statue of Hathorkare and the stolen queen of the title. The theft of the Cerulean Queen and the mystery surrounding it presumably explain the publisher's decision to describe the book as an Agatha Christie throwback and a heist novel. It is those things, but what drew me in and kept me reading is the rich characterization of both Charlotte and Annie as they struggle, independently and together, to come to terms with their own pasts and plot a sustainable and satisfying future.

New York Times bestselling author FIONA DAVIS returns to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss THE STOLEN QUEEN, her addictive new novel that transports us from New York City's most glamorous party to the labyrinth streets of Cairo and back! We loved talking about the The Met, the world famous museum in New York City, particularly the Greek/Roman exhibits and the Met Gala! Our protagonist shared many qualities with the female Egyptian Pharaoh, Hathorkare. Were they both marginalized because of their sex? What secrets about their pasts needed to be unearthed? It is amazing how timeless certain issues can be! We talked about the power of a curse over Charlotte's life and whether she was projecting onto it some of her own feelings of self worth. We loved talking about the fresh ideas that one character brought to Diana Vreeland and The Met Gala. This conversation will leave you breathless!You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast! We're also on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube!

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.Today I'm joined by Chance Gardner, artist and producer of the Magical Egypt series. In this conversation, we discuss pioneer of ancient Egypt research, John Anthony West, and how his book Serpent in the Sky influenced Chance's interest in Egypt. We consider the two models of ancient Egypt, and the importance of icons and symbols. We discuss Eastern philosophy as top down and Western as bottoms up. Next, we discuss the principle of “As above, so below”, and the significance of organic geometry.From there, we discuss the neters of Egyptian mythology as “principles”, not “gods”. We talk about Edgar Mitchell's kundalini experience returning from the moon, and the concept of different planes of self. Chance considers cities as people farms, predicated on us not knowing our true nature. We consider the 128 sidhis known to the ancient Egyptians, serving as deeper organs of perception.Chance describes Angkor Wat as the stairway to heaven, and how it contains the secrets of kundalini. We discuss devas and asuras, and what they tell us about the history of humanity. We then discuss esoteric art and the recurrence of the third eye in Eastern spiritual traditions.From there, we talk about white and black magic and differentials in power. We discuss how the meaning of myth has been inverted, and consider evil as an interruption to the organizational pattern. We then discuss fraternal orders and ceremonial magic. Chance and I consider where humanity is within the yuga cycle, and reference the Three Body Problem. Chance discusses mandalas and their impact on brain coherence, and how hieroglyphics serve as a lesson in syncretism.Next, Chance explains how he first met John Anthony West and get involved in Magical Egypt. We talk about the age of the Sphinx, and theorize about its missing partner. We discuss the moon voyages and whether the public footage of those events has been edited and censored. Chance describes the hypnogogic realms and how the mind unfurls in higher dimensions. We consider the intersection of Egyptology, intelligence agencies, and the phallus of Osiris. Chance describes anamnesis as the recognition of fundamental truth.We then discuss how Heka differs from our traditional understanding of magic, and discuss hierarchies of consciousness. Chance describes how ceremonial magic attracts more nefarious individuals like Michael Aquino, founder of the Temple of Set. We discuss Disneyland and Club 33, and the tradition of human sacrifice.Next, we talk about the relationship between Egypt and Atlantis. Chance describes how the ancient Egyptians used sacred art to record the structure and functioning of consciousness. We end this conversation discussing how the brain is built to work in symbols.This Outro is titled “How Did the Egyptians Know Consciousness?” and begins at episode 81.

Kara and Jordan talk with Professor Anne Austin (University of Missouri - St. Louis) about her book Healthmaking in Ancient Egypt: The Social Determinants of Health at Deir el-Medina, how she uses data from ancient Egyptian human remains to understand health care practices, disease, and illness in the past, and her work on tattooing in ancient Egypt. Introducing Prof. Anne AustinDr. Anne Austin is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Missouri St. Louis (UMSL). She received her B.A. in Anthropology from Harvard University and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in the Archaeology program at UCLA. She joined UMSL in 2017 after completing a three-year postdoctoral fellowship in the History Department at Stanford University. Her research combines the fields of osteology and Egyptology in order to document medicine and disease in the past. In her book, Healthmaking in Ancient Egypt, Anne uses data from ancient Egyptian human remains and daily life texts to reconstruct ancient Egyptian health networks and identify how ancient Egyptians improved their health and responded to illness. While working at Deir el-Medina, Anne discovered the mummified remains of a woman with 30 different tattoos. Since then, she and her team have identified several other tattooed women, rewriting the history of tattooing in ancient Egypt. Anne's next book will explore the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt and its potential connections to gender, religion, and medicine.Healthmaking in Ancient Egypt: The Social Determinants of Health at Deir el-MedinaShow NotesT/W- Human Remains* Deir el-Medina* Social Determinants of Health* Working in Tomb Spaces* Butehamon* Naunakhte* Archeology Ink Get full access to Ancient/Now at ancientnow.substack.com/subscribe

Linen wrapping. Expensive resins. Sarcophagi. Preserving for eternity – or until someone raids their tomb. It's a brand-new Spooktober episode with not one but two guests: Dr. Salima Ikram is a professor of Egyptology and expert on mummification of both people and animals, and is joined by veteran guest from the Egyptology episode, professor and author Dr. Kara Cooney. The two chat about mummification techniques, how food studies lead into the pyramids, controversy over the word “mummy,” whiffing the dead, socioeconomic factors in mummification, animal mummies, lingering mysteries, field work, a house mouse, and more. Next week in Part 2 we'll dive into more ethics of collections, human sacrifice, the people who ate mummified remains, paint colors, coffin engravings and the meaning of “magic.” Visit Dr. Cooney's website and follow her on Instagram, X, YouTube, and FacebookGet Kara's latest book, Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches, and browse her other books on Amazon or Bookshop.orgSubscribe to Kara's Substack Ancient/NowVisit Dr. Ikram's website and follow her on FacebookGet Salima's latest book, Let a Cow-Skin Be Brought: Armour, Chariots and Other Leather Remains in Tutankhamun's Tomb, and browse her other books on Amazon or Bookshop.orgDonations went to the Yellowhammer Fund and Doctors Without BordersMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Egyptology (ANCIENT EGYPT), Taphology (GRAVESITES), Desairology (MORTUARY MAKE-UP), Thanatology (DEATH & DYING), Ambystomology (AXOLOTLS … AND LIMB REGROWTH?), Melaninology (SKIN/HAIR PIGMENT), Spooktober episodes of the pastSponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on Instagram and XFollow @AlieWard on Instagram and XEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jacob ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.
