First time seeing the Tutankhamun material at the GEM. King Tut’s gang. Don’t mess…

Yes, absolutely amazing!
Finished our desert day at Dimeh, & slightly later than planned which meant the risk of driving home in the dark. But also that we were there as the sun god Ra began his nightly descent down into the ground and perilous journey back to towards the new day. It’s not called the magic hour for nothing…
Love me a bit of desert exploration…

Catching up with photos… Spent a day recently exploring the Faiyum, visiting Qasr es-Saga, Soknopaiou Nesos and Widan el-Faras where I was delighted that we were able to stop by the ancient trackway, which I’d only ever seen in photos before… Full post: www.instagram.com/p/DUGUfd-DNm...
Busy few weeks coming up: lecturing & TV will take me to Spain, Paris, Egypt & the US, and I'll be travelling around the UK giving talks too. So if you're in Cordoba, Poynton, New York(!), Worthing, Chesterfield, Taunton, Carlisle or Kent... do come and say 'hi'! chrisnaunton.com/lectures-in-...
This is part of a series organised in conjunction with the exhibition on CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE IN ANCIENT EGYPT which I'm really looking forward to seeing: eldespertaralavidaenegipto.com/en/home/#pla... Thanks to the organisers for the invitation!
I'll be lecturing in Cordoba, Spain on Thursday evening (8 Jan) on 'The conception and birth of the divine child'. More info: eldespertaralavidaenegipto.com/en/activities/
Apologies again and thanks for your understanding! For those of who who are members of the channel (lapis level) I look forward to seeing those of you can be there are the revised times, and I hope those of who can't will enjoy the recorded versions!
