I am a creative and practice-based museum researcher exploring the intersection of museums, bodies and ethics. My background is as a historian of Egyptology and for a decade I explored academic and public engagement around the display of ancient Egyptian mummified bodies. What did that look like? Well I wrote a lot of dissertations on it! A bachelor's degree, then a master's and a PhD on Egyptian mummies in museums, which I did in the UK. I then did a postdoc on the topic, and did a whole lot of public talks and conferences, I once even gave a talk in a pub! I am really passionate about finding ways to engage the public with big ethical questions such as the collecting, retention, study and display of human remains in museums. I wrote a book about this, it came out last year and it's called Mummified, The stories behind Egyptian mummies in museums. I also work on creative health, storytelling and art-based projects in museums around questions of narratives and representations: I curated two exhibitions with refugees and asylum seekers in Leicester (UK) where I lived, and I run two digital projects: Mummy Stories (http://www.mummystories.com ) is a participative project on human remains in museums; The Lyme Museum (http://www.thelymemuseum.org ) is the first virtual museum with touring exhibitions exploring the lived experience of invisible illnesses and disabilities through visual storytelling and materiality.In short, I spend a lot of time in front of my phone and laptop building communities, and then I run creative workshops, curate exhibitions, and consult for museums, all to make sure that museums and heritage sites have more expansive narratives, and give a voice to more people. I'm starting my second book, but this one will take longer, because I am juggling so many projects, but also because it's a lot more personal.Link to my work: I can be found online in many places; a testament to the many hours I spend on a screen!Mummy Stories: http://www.mummystories.com / @mummystories on FacebookThe Lyme Museum: http://www.thelymemuseum.org / @thelymemuseum on InstagramMy work: http://www.angelastienne.com / @angela_stienne on TwitterMy life: @museemporium on InstagramMy book: https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526161895/ or order it for your library / bookstore!A podcast I recorded with the BBC History programme: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5cKoe6Om49ihECsEzWLDPp Support the show

Egyptology must be the most fascinating and complicated subject of human history. Spanning …

Champion competitive sculptor and ancient history researcher Rob Neyland (FreetheLioness.com) joins me to discuss his fascinating and ground-breaking research into the true nature and history of the famous Egyptian Sphinx. Rob is known for using his advanced skills as a sculptor to create a stunning miniature "re-carving" of the Sphinx with a very different head to the one we currently see. Listen in to the conversation and see some of the ways our Egyptology (and general history) books need to be re-written. You'll Learn: - Why 1,000 years of the Sphinx's history mysteriously went missing - What the Sphinx originally was - About the important Egyptian goddess Mehit - The significance of the oldest religious writings (the pyramid texts) in Egypt… - …and who the composer was - The subtle complaint encoded in the tomb of Unas - What Rob discovered by carving his own realistic miniature of the Sphinx - The KEY role of the moon (not the sun) in the ascent of the dying king's spirit ...and MUCH, much more. Note: there are a few sections where Rob shares slides and talks about them (see my BitChute channel), but you should be fine without them if you want to stick with audio. This is a conversation not to miss. Please subscribe, drop a review, and share this information widely. Special Guest: Rob Neyland.

We know little about the famous great sage, Imhotep, who was the Vizier, or Prime Minister, of Egypt under the Pharaoh Netjerikhet Djoser of Egypt's Third Dynasty. As well as being the Royal Architect and Royal Physician among his many titles, the man himself is somewhat of an enigma. This book is, perhaps, the most complete account of Imhotep's architectural and medical careers as revealed in the grandeur and graceful beauty of Egypt's oldest pyramid, and challenges the reader to look beyond the obvious and see the hidden Sacred Wisdom that Imhotep embedded within its architecture. In this book is the proof of Imhotep's status of Royal Physician, even though none had existed before.His skill as an architect is clearly visible in his innovative, extensive use of stone in the Step Pyramid and its surrounding buildings. However, this book goes beyond admiring the results of Imhotep's endeavors. Rather, it goes into detail concerning the methods and hidden history of its design and construction. Gleaned from books and reports from the initial excavations and reconstruction beginning in the late 1920s to more recent discoveries, the result is the most detailed study of the Step Pyramid to date. No other book contains as much information about the Step Pyramid. More than that, it is one man's journey from a serendipitous find to an ever-expanding awareness of the Step Pyramid's many secrets hidden in plain sight in the ensuing decades following his discovery.Through extensive research, the author has unraveled a mystery (or mysteries) confirming Imhotep's uncanny genius in creating a masterpiece within this most unique pyramid of Egypt. Numerous photographs and images depict the Step Pyramid almost in its entirety assist in illustrating and understanding the author's theory, as he provides in-depth, step-by-step supporting material to validate his claims. The ancient Egyptian connection between the physical and spiritual worlds comes into play as the author delves into anatomy, as well as the concept of duality – the Magic Number 2 (among other important numbers), cubits, the language of Sacred Geometry and Ratios, and their influence on Imhotep's blueprints for the Step Pyramid. This tale will not only captivate Egyptology enthusiasts but also those with little or no interest in the relevance of this historical account as the author tries to make sense of this socket, its location and use as it relates to the structure and doorways of the Step Pyramid. The author's talent for storytelling will quickly engage readers with the accounts of how Egyptians lived, worshiped, and celebrated within the Step Pyramid's ?eb-Sed Court that eventually became a medical center. The theoretical explanations of various rooms, alcoves, and courtyards may challenge current thought, but in the end, will undoubtedly enlighten and enthrall the reader.www.stevekallman.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2790919/advertisement

Kara and Jordan meet with Dr. Serena Love to discuss her ongoing work with Seamus Blackley on the collection of ancient yeast and reconstruction of ancient bread making techniques. How does one collect ancient yeast without contamination? What can be learned through experimental archaeology? And most importantly, what did ancient bread taste like?! --- Bio: Serena is an anthropological archaeologist with 30 years' experience working in Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Iraq and most recently in Australia. She earned a PhD from Stanford University with a specialty in geoarchaeology and prehistoric architecture, where her research developed new methods for analysing mudbricks and theoretically blending phenomenology and archaeological science to reach innovative interpretations about social lives in the past. Serena's publications have focused on symbolic landscapes in Egypt and the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Turkey. Serena has lectured internationally and taught archaeology at Stanford, Brown University and University of Queensland, and held a Senior Fellowship at Koç University in Istanbul in 2016. Serena is committed to science communication and community-led research and has spent the past 7 years working with Aboriginal communities in Queensland with grant writing, capacity building and developing curriculum aligned, archaeology themed teaching materials for Australian classrooms. Serena uses archaeology to connect the people of today with the people of the past and she is driven to constantly explore, learn and share the subject wherever possible.  -- If you want knowledgable hot takes on headlines about archaeology, Egyptology, and antiquity in general delivered to your inbox, subscribe to our Substack Ancient/Now.

Archeologists are buzzing with excitement because they believe they have found one of Egypt's oldest complete mummies. The last year has been a good year for Egyptology, with many new discoveries being made about life in Ancient Egypt. One of them was the discovery of the first-ever pregnant mummy. Even if we know quite a lot about mummification processes, we keep making discoveries that open new doors into the lives of Ancient Egyptians. And it looks like we might finally know the biggest secret of the pyramids. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about these ancient monuments, and so much more! Author, professor, deep researcher and self-proclaimed “arch skeptic of traditional thinking” Robert Temple shares his provocative reinterpretations of how and why they came to be, and how they've been used—and abused—at various times in history. Discrepancies in dating are often ignored, and manipulation or misinterpretation of new evidence protects ancient Egyptology's status quo. The pyramids at Giza are said to have been built by slaves using ropes and ramps to haul tons of massive rock that came from many miles away. Our guest says no, and offers his theory. How can stones be carved to fit together so exactly that a blade cannot be wedged between them? Whose face is on the conspicuously small head of the Sphinx... and who, or what, was the Sphinx modeled on, originally? Ancient civilizations often practiced deception to protect their discoveries, inventions and goods. How ancient, amazingly perfect "Viking lenses” made with crystal-carving technology ruffled the establishment years later. The riddle of Atlantis and how the pre-dating megalithic culture may be involved. Phoenicians—the first successful arms dealers? And what about the West African Dogon Tribe's mysterious cosmology involving a visitor from the distant, invisible star, Sirius B? These are mere samples of ancient mysteries we spotlight in this thought-provoking episode. Our conversation continues in Part 2. Robert Temple has authored more than a dozen books, including the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery, and the most recent, A Science of Heaven. He has done archeological dating work and intensive exploration of closed sites in Egypt with the permission of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. Robert is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and an abiding member of the Egypt Exploration Society and numerous other academic societies. His research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken.

EPISODE 57 | In this episode, special guests Dr. Katherine Blouin and Dr. Heba Abd el Gawad join Kara and Jordan for a conversation about Netflix's docu-drama Queen Cleopatra and the ways in which modern issues of reception, ownership, and race have played into how Cleopatra is seen today. Dr. Abd el Gawad brings her nuanced perspective as a scholar and an Egyptian to the discussion, and Dr. Blouin helps us get into the deep-cuts of how the threads of imperialism, Orientalism, and patriarchy have been used to weave narratives about Cleopatra that continue to influence how she is viewed as an historical figure. ---- If you want knowledgable hot takes on headlines about archaeology, Egyptology, and antiquity in general delivered to your inbox, subscribe to our Substack Ancient/Now.

Episode 15: On this Friday's show, your hosts Gary & Shona Allen will be welcoming very special guest Graham Phillips, Best Selling British Author, historical detective, modern-day adventurer and a real life Indiana Jones! Graham will be discussing his new book 'Strange Fate' an extraordinary true story of paranormal discovery! Graham Phillips has been one of Britain's bestselling non-fiction authors for over thirty years. In the 1980s, after working as a radio journalist and broadcaster for the BBC and editing a popular monthly magazine, Graham turned his talents to investigating unsolved historical mysteries. He has since written sixteen books that are in print around the world and have been published in many different languages. His first books were co-authored with Martin Keatman and from the start the authors adopted a unique and adventurous approach to their research. In the 1990s Graham and Martin searched for the truth behind the timeless legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood. In 1992 King Arthur - The True Story became a bestseller when the authors uncovered dramatic proof of Arthur's historical existence, and three years later their discovery of an ancient burial site that may have been King Arthur's tomb was filmed live for national television. Graham and Martin's Robin Hood - The Man Behind the Myth, published in 1995, not only showed that the Sherwood outlaw was an historical figure; it also revealed a true story that was in every way as spellbinding as the romantic myth. Graham and Martin's last book together, The Shakespeare Conspiracy, created academic upheaval and spawned an international controversy by uncovering sensational evidence to show that William Shakespeare had not only been a playwright, he also worked as a government spy. Graham Phillips has never been afraid of controversy. In 1995 he made headlines around the world, and created a storm in the Vatican that even involved the Pope himself, when he discovered a lost artifact that may have been the original Holy Grail. His first solo book, The Search for the Grail, told the fascinating story of this modern-day Grail quest. In the late 90s Graham turned his attention to biblical mysteries. In 1998 his international bestseller, Act of God, revealed startling new evidence that the plagues of the Exodus and the parting of the Red Sea were real historical events - the result of the largest volcanic eruption in the history of civilization. In 2000 The Marian Conspiracy told of Graham's search for the secret tomb of the Virgin Mary and investigated a Church cover-up at the very highest level. His book, The Moses Legacy, examines the work of eminent archaeologists and biblical scholars, and pieces together remarkable evidence to show that the Old Testament is far closer to the truth than many historians believe. Graham's latest books are Alexander the Great: Murder in Babylon that examines the mysterious death of history's most renowned soldier, The Templars and the Ark of the Covenant, in which Graham goes in search of the lost Ark, Merlin and the Discovery of Avalon in the New World, a personal quest to discover the truth behind the Merlin legend, The End of Eden which investigates an ancient comet that may have shaped civilization, and The Lost Tomb of King Arthur which further examines the historicity of the legendary king. Critics often wonder how Graham has managed to solve so many historical enigmas. The answer is that he employs a hands-on, investigative approach to his research that gives him a cutting-edge advantage. By collating evidence from many different subject areas, such as archaeology, history and Egyptology, he is able to gain an overall perspective that those tied to a particular discipline are often prevented from doing. More often than not, he has simply applied himself to a mystery that academics have been unwilling, or even afraid to touch.

Geoffrey Drumm is an Egyptologist and self-taught chemist who has theorized that several ancient Egyptian pyramids were not pharaonic burial chambers - they were industrial manufacturing plants for ammonia based fertilizer and the raw materials used for metallurgy. His presentation begins inside the red pyramid, whose three chambers mirror the three stages of nitrogen fixation used in the Haber-Bosch process we depend upon today. We talk about the physical evidence his investigations have uncovered, the difficulty of doing research in Egypt, and pervasive belief of a primitive history for ancient civilizations Support the scientific revolution by joining our Patreon: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB Tell us what you think in the comments or on our Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub (00:00:00) Go!

In Coast to Coast PM's very first interview, the boys talk to Jeffrey Shanks, a real life archaeologist who explains to us the history of the more esoteric ideas of what is hiding under one of Egypt's most famous enigmas, the Sphinx. Jeffery guides us through Edgar Cayce's writings on the Hall of Records that he claimed were in underground chambers below the sphinx, to his organization's history of actually funding expeditions to Egypt to find the information Cayce claimed was there. We discuss Graham Hancock's history with the Sphinx and how these individuals have helped and hindered the Egyptology. That and much more on today's episode of Coast to Coast PM.    Support:  C2CPM's Patreon Twitter: https://twitter.com/c2cpmpod  Contact: c2cpmpod@gmail.com    Jeffrey Shanks Bio: Jeffrey Shanks has been a professional archaeologist for over two decades.

HIDDEN CORRIDOR FOUND! What Can This Mysterious Discovery In The Great Pyramid of Giza Tell Us? A hidden corridor nine meters (30 feet) long has been discovered close to the main entrance of the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza, and this could lead to further findings. The discovery within the pyramid, the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, was made under the Scan Pyramids project that since 2015 has been using non-invasive technology including infrared thermography, 3D simulations and cosmic-ray imaging to peer inside the structure.They Call Me The Ghost

Did human civilization begin 5-6,000 years ago (as we are told) with Sumer and Egypt? Or is there more to the story? What was the actual purpose of Stonehenge? Why is the Great Pyramid aligned to true north? Is it possible that advanced civilizations predated the modern era by tens of thousands of years? If so, what happened to them? Today, Academia and Egyptology remain hamstrung by limiting beliefs, false assumptions and shallow readings of ancient texts. Mark H Gaffney's book presents compelling new evidence in support of Charles Hapgood's theory of crustal displacement, first introduced in the 1950s. Deep History and the Ages of Man introduces a new and exciting earth climate model that will challenge everything you thought you knew about ancient history.

In this week's episode, Kara and Jordan sit down with their friend and colleague Dr Johnathan Winnerman to talk about his work on kingship, sovereignty, and globalism. How did the ancient Egyptian conceptualize of their society and increasing interaction with the 'outside' world? How did they imagine the world around them, and what lessons can we learn in our increasingly changing world society? ------ Jonathan Winnerman is currently Academic Administrator for Ancient Studies at UCLA. He first joined the UCLA community as a lecturer in Egyptology after completing his PhD at the University of Chicago in the department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations in 2018. His research focuses on kingship, divinity, and the purpose of sovereignty, topics which encourage reflection on our own social, religious, and political structures. In his administrative capacity, he organizes and assists faculty with the writing of grant proposals and works closely with the Global Antiquity Initiative, a program which advocates viewing the ancient world as a single connected expanse where no community is considered peripheral. 

Sarah Janes has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood and has written about dreams, dream culture and the anthropology of dreaming for a number of academic journals, the Idler magazine and more. She has given talks on the subject of dreaming at conferences, festivals, and events all over Europe and hosts her own online Egyptology lecture series Explorers Egyptology in which she has had many esteemed Egyptologists and ancient history scholars and experts as guests A lucid dreamer since childhood, Sarah Janes is a writer, speaker, and sleep hypnosis workshop facilitator. She runs Explorers Egyptology, an online lecture series, and with Carl Hayden Smith, operates the Seventh Ray, a mixed reality Mystery School. In the latter half, she spoke about lucid dreaming, dream incubation, and ancient traditions related to dreams. She highlighted the influence of Mnemosynem, the Greek goddess of memory and eloquence and the mother of all the Muses. In the Greek sleep temple tradition (rituals where individuals went to sanctuaries to incubate or bring about divine dreams), people invoked the name of Mnemosynem as part of the dream healing process. Janes connected the invocation of the Greek goddess of memory to the idea of lucid dreaming, in which people realize they are dreaming while in the dream state. "I think dreaming is a really good place to manifest your desires," and as you perfect your life in the dream world, this can carry over to your waking life, she indicated. During sleep and dreams we may be returning to a kind of primordial consciousness of the world and the cosmos, she theorized. In response to a caller's repeated dreams about being in physical fights, Janes suggested that the key is to "transmute and alchemize that feeling of anger and fighting" because all aspects of the dream are a part of yourself. "You don't really want to be fighting yourself...you want to integrate those shadow aspects back into yourself to be whole and evolve."

Developments in new technology such as DNA sequencing have transformed our understanding of the Neanderthals, one of a group of archaic humans who occupied Europe, the Middle East and Western Asia more than 300,000 years ago. First identified by fossil remains in 1856 in a German quarry, the Neanderthals led an extremely physical existence as hunter-gatherers. They were stronger than us, adaptable as a species to huge variations in climate, with brains as large as ours and sophisticated ways of creating tools. Many of us carry some of the DNA of Neanderthals, thanks to interbreeding with homo sapiens. Although the Neanderthals today are no longer with us, their story has a lot to tell us about ourselves and our future survival on the planet. Rajan Datar is joined by Janet Kelso, a computational biologist and Group Leader of the Minerva Research Group for Bioinformatics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. She specialises in the analysis of DNA sequencing of ancient people such as Neanderthals; Katerina Harvati, the Senckenberg Professor for Paleoanthropology and Director of the Institute for Archaeological Sciences at the University of Tübingen. Her work focuses on the origins of modern humans and Neanderthal evolution; and archaeologist and writer Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Honorary Fellow in the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool. Her award-winning book Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art was published in 2020.

Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be considered disturbing, frightening and in some cases even offensive.  Listener Discretion is therefore advised.  Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained.  I'm your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries but I promise, all sorts of weirdness.  So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....  And on today's Dark enigma well, we've got another listener suggestion and I'm working on a follow up to our Skinwalkers episode, got some really great information and stories to share, but if you have something, shoot me an email!  So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Labyrinth that will be a single shot and every time I say Egypt, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today's dark enigma… so don your most regal Linen robes and put plenty of Kohl eyeliner as we dive into today's offering and The Mysterious Lost Labyrinth of Egypt   There can be no doubt that Egypt is a land of deep, ancient mysteries that stretch back many millennia into the mists of time. Here is an enchanting land of magnificent ruins, soaring pyramids, and darkened tombs surrounded by whispers of curses and black magic. It is a place that has drawn the curiosity and study of archeologists and indeed the public for years, yet for all we have learned of this enigmatic place over the centuries there are still many secrets buried here in the desert sands, ensconced with mystery and as unknown as they always have been. One of these is an alleged network of subterranean tunnels and chambers whispered of in ancient and modern texts and forgotten for centuries, which are said to hold vast troves of lost knowledge and secrets and, if they exist, could change how we view history itself.

This is the second half of our conversation with Joshua Myers on his latest book Of Black Study. In part one we covered Myers' goals for the project and the selection of thinkers he includes. We also reviewed in some detail his chapters on W.E.B. Du Bois and Sylvia Wynter, as well as his inclusion of June Jordan and Toni Cade Bambara. In this part of the discussion we focus on the interventions of Jacob Carruthers and Cedric Robinson, who Myers often places in dialogue with one another. We talk about Carruthers work toward an African historiography, and around language and African Deep Thought, going into the terms mdw ntr and whm msw and talking a bit about their meaning and importance and conceptual relevance to the Black Radical Tradition and revolutionary possibility.  Because we have two other discussions with Myers on Cedric Robinson, both of which go more in-depth on Black Marxism and Robinson's interventions there, we focused this time on Myers work around Terms of Order and An Anthropology of Marxism. Myers closes with a reflection on the inability of the western university to accommodate radical thought in general, and Black radical thought in particular, except as a means to discipline and control it, leaving open questions of where Black Study must go from here.  We again want to thank Pluto Press for donating copies for our reading group of incarcerated folks which we support along with Massive Bookshop and Prisons Kill. This book comes out Friday on Pluto Press, so make sure to pre-order your copy or pick it up from your favorite radical bookstore.  Shout-out to all the folks who are patrons of our show and support the work we do bringing you conversations like this.

A century ago, British archaeologist Howard Carter opened the only surviving intact tomb from ancient Egypt. Inside was the mummy of the boy king Tutankhamun, together with “wonderful things” including a solid gold mask. Treasure from King Tut's crypt has been viewed both in person and virtually by many people since. We ask what about Egyptian civilization so captivates us, thousands of years later. Also, how new technology from modern physics allows researchers to “X-Ray” the pyramids to find hidden chambers. Guests: Emma Bentley – Postgraduate student in Archeology and Ancient Worlds at the University of Edinburgh in the U.K.  Sarah Parcak – Archaeologist and Egyptologist, University of Alabama, and author of “Archaeology From Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past.” Richard Kouzes – Physicist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

In 1799, French soldiers in Egypt unearthed what would become one of the world's most famous artefacts. After a desperate race to decipher its symbols, the Rosetta Stone provided the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs, casting new light on the culture and history of this lost civilisation. But why was the Rosetta Stone made in the first place? How did it end up in the hands of the French occupiers, thousands of years after it was created? And when the battle to decode was over, what secrets did it reveal? This is a Short History of the Rosetta Stone. Written by Kate Harrison.

Tutankhamun, Mummies, and Murder, oh my! I sat down with Dr. Bob Brier to discuss the Tomb of Tutankhamun, and the legacy of this important discovery. We also chatted about Dr. Brier's work in Egyptology, including his experiment in mummifying a human for scientific research. Finally, we touched on some older works including his "Murder of Tutankhamun" hypothesis and the Great Pyramid's construction (including the "internal ramp" hypothesis of Jean-Pierre Houdin).My thanks to Dr. Brier for coming on the show, and for allowing me to release the video version!
