The Grand Egyptian Museum is an impressive testament to the country’s enduring legacy. It was a pleasure to visit the museum and reflect on Egypt’s extraordinary contributions to human history & the lasting influence of its civilization far beyond the Nile.

An Egyptian scribe named Butehamun believed that he was haunted by his dead wife’s spirit. He wrote a letter to her coffin to address her ghost, more than 3,000 years ago, insisting he had done nothing wrong. But … was that 100% true? archaeology.org/issues/may-j…

While it may not look like much today, this ancient Egyptian shabti would have been very expensive when it was made. The shabti, found at Abydos, is now badly cracked and its face completely eroded presenting a rather disturbing faceless image, but the inscription still survives
