Dr. Colleen Darnell on Instagram: "Reading a short snippet of hieroglyphic text from the Graeco-Roman Temple of Hathor at Dendera shows one way in which so-called Ptolemaic hieroglyphic signs work. By expanding the number of signs used to write individual phonemes, the ancient Egyptian scribes of the Graeco-Roman period were able to devise new writings of old words. . #egyptologist #egyptology"

Dr. Colleen Darnell on Instagram: "A summary of how early medieval Arabic sources describe mummiya as a medicine; at this point, mummiya does not relate to ancient bodies, but bitumen or pitch. In medieval Europe, mummified Egyptian bodies were identified as a source of bitumen and thus ground mummies were used as medicine. In the early 1500s, the Swiss alchemist Paracelsus argues for the benefits of corpse medicine, including the consumption of the bodies of executed European criminals. This pr

Dr. Colleen Darnell on Instagram: "What is your favorite work of historical fiction? Please share! Amazingly, the first stories that we can classify as historical fiction were written around 1250 BCE in the reign of Rameses II. As I examined in my 2013 Oxford University Press book, Imagining the Past: Historical Fiction in Ancient Egypt, there are four surviving stories that are set two or three hundred years in the past. New Kingdom Egyptians could not only entertain themselves by reading ficti

The four columns within the temple take the form of the sistrum (a rattle used in temple music) topped by the head of the goddess Hathor, the daughter of Re. Each winter, the solar goddess (who could go by many names, like Nekhbet, Hathor, Tefnut, Shesmetet, and others) went south to Nubia. She returned in summer, mar
