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. - STEVE ZOSKI Newsroom y34-418-4115 opt.3 Correctious correction@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com SportsSection sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Lettensto he Editor tonhedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com tlassified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.com Lindsay Ambridge teaches in the Department of Near tasters Stadies.
