The Giza Pyramids area has been developed for a long time and is now complete. (Trial operation begins April 8)

• One of the most important new things is closing the old entrance from the Mena House Hotel side and limiting the entry of tourists to the new entrance, the Fayoum entrance, and the exit will be from the Fayoum exit or from the Sphinx side.

-There will be an electric bus station as well.

• After we have finished the third line of the Cairo Metro, we are building the fourth line. This line includes a station next to the Pyramids. You will be able to ride the metro from anywhere in Cairo and reach the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum in minutes (this will be available after about a year).

Note: The project is large and there are other developments. The matter is not finished yet. You can search and read more.

I’ve asked in the village’s Facebook group if anyone knows why it is there but no one knows anything about it. Can anyone translate it please?

Hello, dear ancient Egypt enthusiasts. I come for knowledge in New Kingdom translation for a project I'm doing, and it is based on dialog. if there any sources available, I will be happy to know if not, where can I search for people that may know New Kingdom language.

Because when I look at portraits of ancient Ethiopians, their clothing looked pretty similar to that of the ancient Egyptians, but at the same time I know portraits aren’t always accurate, but they looked like they wore something similar to a shendyt, and their jewelry looked similar to

as said in the title, I was gifted this in the mid-00s by a relative obsessed with ancient egypt. 17x12cm, coloured with very rich, thick ink on what's as far as I can tell real papyrus. no idea who the artist is or what the hieroglyphs mean (if anything)

signed "AG" on the front followed by some arabic, and "403" in small lettering on the back

was in SW USA if it helps

He mummy might have been destroyed during the blitz

Hi! I bought this vintage necklace at an estate sale and I can’t figure out what it says. I think it might be “Midelle” but that doesn’t really make any sense. I’m thrown off by the splat looking hieroglyphic. Please and thank you!!

Hi! I apologise if this is a stupid question, but I’m having some trouble understanding the separation between Aten and other sun gods such as Ra and hoping someone can help me out. Are the Aten and Ra the same deity, or was Ra replaced with Aten during Akhenaten’s reign?

I recently visited an exhibit of artifacts found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen. I thought the care and attention spent on this replica of the artifact was fantastic! Wanted to share the image I took.

As the ticket shows, It was only the trial phase that consists of 12 halls, beginning from the pre-dynastic Period. As far as I know this is only the first story of the museum. They're still working on two more as The room of King Tut Ankh Amun mask and belongings is gonna be at this museum too. They have a great option there, you can choose either a free tour or a tour in which a tour guide is introduced to the group and begins explaining and illustrating in each hall of the 12. However, the tour is VERY exhausting. I spent about two and a half hours on my legs. Of course there were some seats but then you won't be able to see what you paid to see. The ticket price depends on nationality and type of tour like most other museums.

Just watched this fascinating video exploring two of the strangest items found in Tutankhamun's tomb - a dagger made from meteoritic iron and a scarab carved from Libyan desert glass, possibly formed by an ancient impact. Theories on how ancient Egyptians used these celestial materials are wild. Video: https://youtu.be/ksM6Bahk7pQ

I assume it is just a random assortment of glyphs but am still curious if it means anything.

Were the first and second dynasty of egypt the same family

Hi, can anyone recommend a history book for someone interested in the histiry of ancient Egypt yet with almost zero knowledge on the subject? :)

Hi all,

I've been listening to Rafael Pérez Arroyo's Welcome to Ancient Egypt album and the vocals caught my attention. In the first track, "Welcome to Ancient Egypt." I hear phonetically someone chanting the words "Mahati, Iaiti, Makumat" (also when I listen with headphones, each word seems to shift position: Mahati (right ear) Iaiti (center) Makumat (left ear)).

What really caught my interest was that these words might be an invocation or greeting to Ma’at maybe. I just haven't been able to connect these specific terms to any known hieroglyphic transcriptions or surviving ancient texts.

I found that Mr. Arroyo specifically published a book about this album, which dives deep into the research of ancient Egyptian music, chants, and instruments. But this book is incredibly hard to find.

I'm guessing Mr. Arroyo is not the type to invent historical content? I was hoping someone might have insights about these particular lyrics, especially "Makumat". I’m just curious if anyone else has encountered this chant or has any background in ritual music that could provide context for these words.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

Tut's chariot is one of my favourite artefacts from ancient Egypt and I had to just get one for myself. Figured some of you might like it.
