Uncovering ancient Egpyt

What are your interests
in the subject of Egyptol-
ogy?
I study the history of
Egyptology itself as a disci-
pline. I study how Egyptolo-
gyhasbeen done -primarily
American Egyptology in the
19th and early 20th centu-
ries. I look at early Ameri-
can Egyptologists and how
they wrote their histories
of Egypt and why they-said
what they said.
What has been a favor-
ite archeological experi-
ence?
My favorite thing about
working in Egypt is that we
get to work with Egyptians

in the field. We work closely
with an Egyptian crew as
well as an American crew.
We get to meet Egyptians
and become their friends,
and the whole experience of
living and working in Egypt
is the best part of archeol-
ogy. These sites are really
beautiful.
Do you think the recent
political events in Egypt
will affect student inter-
est in Egyptology?
I hope that it will encour-
age people to think how
ancient Egypt relates to
modern Egypt. That's part
of what I study myself: how
ancient Egypt is relevant to,

or matters, in the modern
day. I hope it will encour-
age people to think about
Egypt as a whole instead of
just thinking about Egypt
as an ancient culture. I hope
they will look at it as a con-
tinuously occupied Egyptian
culture, and there is a lot
in modern Egyptian politi-
cal discourse that is equally
important as anything in the
ancient world.
What are some of the
values that learning the
history of Ancient Egypt
hasfor students?
The surface value is that
it's a culture that shows
up so frequently on TV, in

documentaries and what-
not. Often, students are very
interested in it,buttheydon't
know what's true or what's
not. It's great to see students
learn how to interpret televi-
sion shows, how to interpret
archeological evidence - to
be able to see for themselves
whether they should believe
or not what they see on TV.
At a deeper level, being able
to read a history book and
understand that what it's
telling you about history has
a certain agenda, certain
biases and there's meaning
in everything we say about
history.

A study by Consumer
Reports found that five
samples of apple juice
tested had levels of arsenic
higher than the FDA per-
mits, MSNBC reported. The
accumulation of arsenic in a
child's body can increase risk
of cancer.
