2 New Pages added, more to come

As a way of expanding the information given on this blog, I have created 2 separate pages. These pages will be used to list the Museums and Sites and the Items Found during the course of the Hatshepsut Project.

These will take some time to update, but i have noticed a few of you have a sharp eye and have already visited these links.

Please look below the photo of Deir el Bahri on the blog, under the HOME page. Look to the right of the page and you should be able to see the 2 pages. I will make a start in the next few days (listing and sorting). The items page will be MASSIVE, so this is the one i will update last.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy New Year. May you all live long, with health and prosperity. For those of you thinking of travelling, please be careful. For those of you thinking of drinking- leave the cars at home. And finally for those with children or who will be in the company of children- enjoy yourselves, be silly, have fun and forget rules for one day.LET THE CHILDREN RUN RIOT!!!

Forever grateful to you all,

Stuart "Santas' Naughty Elf" Tyler

    Thank you very much Anneke. In the New Year i will be sure to include your drawings- which i have been aware of for a while.

    Leiden Museum - Is that the same as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, or am i getting the 2 mixed up? I thank you for the photos. i will be sure to view them all in detail.

    Welcome to the blog Anneke, your presence here is very welcome, indeed.

    No, the statue is in the "Rijksmuseum van Oudheden" (Statemuseum of Antiquities) in Leiden.
    The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam does not have many Egyptian antiquities (if any at all). In Amsterdam the Allard Pierson Museum has Egyptian Antiquities.

    And thanks for the welcome

    Thanks for the correction, Anneke.
    Two Rijksmuseums, two locations. I will check a previous entry, where i may have the two mixed up.
    Regards,
    Stuart

    I've checked the previous post. it was about the Hatshepsut shabtis. I had listed Amsterdam as the location of one of the shabtis, when in fact it was he Rijksmuseum Meermanno-Westreenianum in The Hague! I assumed there was only one Rijksmuseum.

    So it appears that the Rijksmuseum van Oudhen will soon be the newest museum on the blog.

    Thanks, Anneke, :)

    The torso of Hatshepsut is actually part of a seated statue of the Queen. The lower half is in the MET museum:
