Talking Pyramids

Another week of hieroglyphic Vocab Tweets has passed and so we have another chart recapping those words covered. You can click on the image to view a larger version at Flickr.

Cleopatra and Tutankhamun are still in the news. Leena has posted a closer shot of her painting and Cleo’s artifacts will debut in Philidelphia. While holidaying in the Dominican Republic Zahi Hawass is channelled by Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford at the Tutankhamun exhibition.

It seems to be the week for Canopic jars and the latest is a story on Tutankhamun’s canopic chest with several nice shots of the chest by photographer Sandro Vannini.
