British Museum (UK) Tour - coming soon

From Andie at Egyptology News

I've checked the database and Hatshepsut is covered. Also featuring will be Senenmut, Neferure and Thutmose III.

Whilst every attempt will be made by me to visit Bristol and Birmingham, nothing is ever certain so if any of you visit and photographs are allowed- please get in touch. It may be that artifacts vary from museum to museum and it may be that the above names may not visit the same museums as i do.

Thanks to Andrea for the heads- up.

Regards,
Stuart

News from the Valley of Kings - Kate Phizackerley

I am a proud follower of Kate Phizackerley and her News from the Valley of Kings blog.

Last night as i was nearing brain- freeze on Flickr - i decided to drop in to see what Kate was posting. To my delight, Kate had just posted the following article:

UK TV Tonight 10pm - Hatshepsut

After running around the house, tripping up over my blog material (the horrible paper-based information which i always have the intention of working through, but inevitably end up resting my coffee cup on) i turned on the TV.

Now as a blogger (and specifically a Hatshepsut blogger), i share this delayed information with you.

The documentary is related to the Punt trading expeditions which are documented on the walls of Deir el Bahri- and for which Hatshepsut is so well known.

I intend to make notes, but have yet to do so. However, as luck would have it- there is a lovely write-up on another blog i follow: Egyptology News by Andie Burns/ Kat Newkirk.

Other blogs have been so helpful to the Hatshepsut Project. Please feel free to drop in to see what others are reporting on.

Thanks to Kate/Andie/Kat

Regards,
Stuart
