In 2017 an Egyptian Mission discovered a previously unknown pyramid at the site of Dahshur & it seemed the burial chamber was intact… I was lucky enough to visit to make a film when the tomb was opened. This is the story.

Alexandria Found and Lost - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Dr. Chris Naunton provides historical background on Alexandria, founded by Alexander the Great in Egypt in 332 BCE. Strabo's writings from the 1st century CE describe the layout of Ptolemaic Alexandria, including its two harbors, the Pharos lighthouse, royal palaces and gardens, and public buildings like the museum. Over time, Alexandria was lost and rediscovered, with few remains of its ancient glory. Excavations have uncovered remnants of the city walls, temples like the Caesareum and Serapeum, and civic structures like the stadium.

Kings in Thebes - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
During the First Millennium BCE (Dynasties 21-30), what it meant to be ‘king’ or ‘pharaoh’ seems to have changed. This was a time when Egypt was often split into south and north – or even more fragmented than that – and it was subject to influence from various groups of foreigners. While the kings who were recognised by Manetho were generally based in the north, Thebes, in the south, repeatedly produced powerful local individuals who claimed the kingship, or wielded equivalent authority. Some who claimed kingship barely left a trace in the records and were perhaps not so influential; others who didn’t claim kingship seem to have been far more influential and wealthy, causing us to ask what it really meant to be ‘king’ during this era. This is the story of the powerful Chief Priests of Dynasty 21, Theban kings, Libyan Chiefs, and the owners of the three largest and most spectacular tombs anywhere in the country – Harwa, Montuemhat and Padiamunope of Dynasties 25 and 26.
Herihor, his tomb, and the priests who became kings
The Twenty-first Dynasty was characterised by a split between the pharaoh in the north, and the Chief Priest of Amun at Karnak who came to take control of Thebes and the south. Herihor was among the first of these newly powerful Chief Priests, and was in authority during the early stages of the ‘restoration’ and caching of the royal mummies of the Valley of Kings and elsewhere. His tomb has never been found, although tantalising clues have appeared in the remote ‘western wadis’ of Thebes. Herihor and the other Chief Priests of the era were also in command of the armies and the judiciary, and they adopted some of the trappings of kingship, but were they really ‘kings’ of Thebes? And what would that mean for the kind of tomb Herihor might have had…?

Royal Mummies, Robbers & Caches - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
1) Two caches of royal mummies and funerary equipment were discovered in Egypt in 1881 - one at Deir el-Bahri known as the Royal Cache, and one in KV35.
2) Gaston Maspero, the director of the antiquities service, had been investigating the trade of illegal antiquities which led him to two brothers who were tomb robbers. After questioning, one of the brothers revealed the location of the Royal Cache.
3) The cache contained over 40 coffins and mummies belonging mainly to the family of pharaoh Pinudjem II from the 21st dynasty. Most of the mummies and coffins showed signs of damage from ancient tomb robber
Tutankhamun: in Life, Death & Eternal Afterlife' - an online lecture by Dr Ch...
The discovery of the intact tomb of pharaoh Tutankhamun by Howard Carter in 1922 was the greatest moment in the history of archaeology. It brought to light more than 5,000 of the most exquisite objects to have survived from the ancient world, masterpieces which speak to the vision and imagination of the Egyptian artists and craftsmen, and their ability to work with a wide range of materials – wood, stone, ceramic and precious metals especially, of course, gold. Such beautiful objects need no more explanation – they can simply be enjoyed as exquisite works of art – but in fact every item was present in the tomb for a reason: they were the equipment the king would need for his journey to an eternal afterlife. This is the story of how he got there – of an eventful life, an early death, what came next, and how the treasures in his tomb have helped us to tell that story.

'The Missing Tomb of Amenhotep I' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
The document discusses the missing tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep I. Several potential burial sites are mentioned, including Tomb KV39 in the Valley of the Kings, two tombs at Dra Abu el-Naga (Carter's Tomb ANB and Tomb K93 11/12), and a possible site discovered by the Polish cliff-top mission at Deir el-Bahri. No definitive evidence has been found for Amenhotep I's burial, but these sites provide some of the best leads for where his tomb may be located.
'Cleopatra: Tomb, Baths and Birth-house' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Cleopatra is perhaps one of most famous figures in the ancient world and yet little of what we know about her comes from archaeological evidence in Egypt. The story of her final days is well know and classical accounts tell us a little of her tomb and where it was, but it has never been found. She created a myth that she was Isis and her son, Horus – to help establish their legitimacy – and yet these crucially important scenes were lost over a century ago. Famously she bathed in milk and yet the ‘baths of Cleopatra’ which were a must-see for 19th Century travellers have now disappeared. What happened, and how can Egyptologists’ records help us to retrieve what has been lost?

The document provides an overview of Egypt's Twenty-fifth Dynasty, which consisted of Kushite kings from Nubia who conquered and ruled Egypt. It discusses the kings Piye, Shabaqo, Shebitqo, Taharqo, and Tantamani based on historical sources and archaeological evidence. It also describes the Kushite kings' conflicts with neighboring Assyria over influence in the Levant during this period when the Kushite dynasty controlled all of Egypt.
'The Royal Tombs of Tanis and The Missing Third Intermediate Period Tombs' ...
Part three of a four-part series on the Third Intermediate Period (TIP) in Egypt for the Kemet Klub.
The TIP has been much misunderstood. Spanning roughly four centuries it is a period characterised by cycles of division and reunification within the country, and also the influence of foreigners, particularly various groups of ‘Libyan’ settlers, and the emerging new power in the south, the kingdom of Kush. Individuals from both groups came to rule Egypt as pharaoh at various times. Archaeological and textual evidence for the period is fragmentary and has proven difficult to reconcile with other sources, particularly the king list provided by the historian Manetho. We now have a much improved understanding of how Egypt changed during the TIP, of what was distinctive about it, and in particular how Egypt was influenced by the foreign groups. Also vice versa, much more so perhaps, to the extent that even though we refer to parts of the period as the ‘Libyan’ or Kushite’ periods, Egypt was still very much Egypt.

'Alexander the Great - buried three times in Egypt' - an online lecture by Dr...
Alexander the Great conquered vast amounts of territory and came to rule a greater empire than had ever existed up that time. Along the way he chased the reviled Persians out of Egypt and was welcomed as pharaoh. He stayed in the country for just a few months and never returned, dying a few years later in Babylon. But his body was brought to Egypt for burial by his eventual successor, the general Ptolemy, no doubt in a suitably grand monument. Classical authors tell of visits by Julius Caesar, Augustus Caesar, Hadrian and others, but the tomb (or tombs…) has never been located. Where was it, and could it yet be found?

'The Kingdom of Kush' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
The Kingdom of Kush: Egypt’s mighty rival in the south. Egypt expanded into the territory to its south at various times in history, built monuments there and influenced the beliefs and practices of the people they encountered. But the influence went both ways; at times the tables turned and the Kingdom of Kush, centring on the cities of Kerma and later Napata and Meroe, became more powerful than Egypt. Kings of Kush even came to rule Egypt as the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. They retreated after a century of rule but continued to thrive in the middle Nile Valley for centuries more, burying their rules under distinctively tall pyramids. This is their story.
'Searching for Imhotep' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Imhotep. The name has been made famous by Hollywood mummy movies but the real-life man of this name was perhaps even more extraordinary. He is credited with designing the Step Pyramid, the very first of these iconic monuments, and long after his death he became a folk hero, and eventually a god. Despite his status, his tomb has never been found. Two thousand years after he lived, the ancients made thousands of offerings to him around a group of tombs of Imhotep’s time. Could one of them have been the final resting place of the man himself?
'After Akhenaten' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
What happened after Akhenaten’s death? Where was he buried? Who succeeded him? Could it have been Nefertiti? And who was Smenkhkare? Tantalising clues have been found at Amarna and in the Valley of Kings. But how to make sense of them?

'People at Amarna' - an online lecture by Dr Chris Naunton
Tell el-Amarna is the name we give to the site of Akhetaten, the city founded by the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten as the capital of his new Egypt. His story has proven to be one of the most captivating from anywhere in the ancient world and yet it was almost completely unknown until less than two hundred years ago. Various travellers, expeditions and archaeologists have helped reveal the evidence for what happened in the relatively brief period of the city’s existence, and the contribution of the various EES expeditions in this is immense. In this talk we’ll look at the site, some of its history and the work of those who have revealed Amarna to be one of the most important ancient sites in the world.

This document discusses the challenges of translating Egyptology research for television. Subtleties must be lost and definitive answers emphasized to adhere to pacing and entertainment rules. Presenters must compromise nuance for clarity and appeal to hold viewers' attention. While promotion requires less control, television is a valuable opportunity to introduce audiences to the research and an important part of the work.
An adventure in the desert: why everyone should visit the Egyptian Oases
In February and March 2014, Medhat Saad and I led a group of EES members on a tour of the Egyptian western deserts and oases. Our visit took in numerous rarely visited archaeological sites, some utterly stunning landscapes, and I discovered a new favourite way to travel: up and down sand dunes in a 4x4. Sadly, we found - as we had expected - that Egypt is virtually empty of tourists. It's doubly tragic as the local people are really suffering from the massive blow to the economy, but it also just seems such a shame that there aren't more people going to these wonderful places at the moment. I hope the photos might inspire some of you to consider visiting, you'll find it's a beautiful and welcoming place and it would be a great way of helping the people of Egypt.
