Question for the hive-mind: does anyone know where I can get my hands on "The Rash Adventurer: A Life of John Pendlebury" by Imogen Grundon? Earlier this year, I read Mary Chubb's "Nefertiti Lived Here" & now really want to read more about Pendlebury. #Egyptology #AncientEgypt #Archaeology #Books

Locality 136 near modern Teneida is one of the largest Sheikh Muftah settlements in Dakhleh. Stretching 1000+ years, it held hearths, a possible dwelling and 500+ stone tools. Join us next week to find out more: gogetfunding.com/dakhleh-oasi... #Archaeology #AncientEgypt #Prehistory #AncientSky

Visited the archaeological site of Carnuntum, just outside of Vienna, this weekend. The reconstructed city quarter is very well done! It really allows you to immerse yourself in Roman life. Strongly recommend a visit: www.carnuntum.at/en #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #History #AncientBlueSky

Querem saber o que significa um governo de extrema-direita hoje em dia, sem exageradas referências ao passado? Não é preciso ir muito longe. Olhem para a Hungria, chefiada e controlada pela mesma família política do Chega. É isto que queremos em Portugal? #eleicoes2025

Se os partidos moderados não acordarem para a realidade, não se deixarem de politiquíces absurdas, e não proporcionarem verdadeiras soluções aos problemas do país, então preparem-se para daqui a uns anos termos um governo de extrema-direita. #eleicoes2025

Eu não vou estar aqui com grandes análises políticas sobre os resultados de ontem. Apenas quero dizer o seguinte: o PSD e o PS já há muito tempo que andam a brincar com o fogo. O fogo está agora em 3o lugar, prácticamente empatado com o PS. #eleicoes2025

Saturday was the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. Discrimination and hatred against LGBT people not only persists, but is on the rise in many places. Together, we have to guard and push back against the immorality of this hatred. #IDAHOBIT

I've just finished reading the brilliant "Nefertiti Lived Here" by Mary Chubb, about her time at the @theees.bsky.social excavations in Tell el-Amarna in 1930. Such a great book. Cannot recommend enough! Does anyone have any recommendations of other books like this? #AncientEgypt #AncientSky

Was going through my MA Egyptology notes and came across a great lecture we listened to on ancient beekeeping 🐝 The earliest evidence of domesticated bees and beekeeping comes from the Sun Temple of Nyuserre (5th Dynasty). You can see it below (references in the image). #AncientEgypt #AncientSky
"Fig.3, Relief from the Solar Temple of Nyuserra, Fifth Dynasty. After G. KRITSKY, The Quest for the Perfect Hive, A History of Innovation in Bee Culture (Oxford, 2010), 12."

From Hammad, M.B. "Bees and Beekeeping in Ancient Egypt", Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality 15 (1) 1-15.

Two days ago, Hungary enshrined its crackdown on civil rights into the constitution. The EU must act decisively, because an attack on democracy, liberty and civil rights in one Member State is an attack on the entire Union. #LGBTRights #CivilRights

So true. A couple of years ago in my native Portugal, olive oil prices rose 70%, an inflation spearheaded by climate change. The same is happening to cocoa in West Africa, and other crops around the world: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
