Talking Pyramids

Ever wanted to study Egypt and the Ancient Near East? Perhaps teaching is more your thing? Well, there is a position of Lecturer in Pre-Dynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt available at the Macquarie University that you can apply for.

Be sure to look at the Oriental Institue’s Splendors of the Nile post today as it gives some great detail and annalysis of the Osirian Chapels on the roof of the temple. Speaking of museums, Brooklyn Museum has announced a new exhibition: The Mummy Chamber.

Some more free PDFs to download from the Oriental Institute’s archives with focus today on Medinet Habu.
