Almost 2 months have passed since we successfully closed our final season on Sai!
This week is quite busy with presenting our results to different audiences – the SARS Day on Monday in London was great as always, I am really happy about various and mostly very positive feedback!
Tonight, I am going to present the highlights of the 2017 season here in Munich.
This lecture is part of the rich programme organized by the friends of the institute, the Collegium Aegyptium. I will give a brief summary of work in the town and will then focus on Tomb 26. With Chamber 6, the burial of Khnummes and his wife, and especially with the “hidden” Chamber 5 and its 18th Dynasty burials rich of jewelry there is quite something to talk about!
Chamber 5 during the process of excavation; note that, like Chamber 6, it was completly sealed by flood levels.
Looking much forward to this occasion, also because so many team members will be present!
Hi Julia-
This is a great discovery. Yvonne Markowitz and I are working on a book on Nubian Gold and I wondered if we migh include some images of this find? I e-mailed you about it, but perhaps it didn’t get through.
Best and congratulations,
Peter
Hi Peter, thanks – much appreciated – will be in touch shortly! Best, Julia
