Future of Egyptology

When mentioning ancient Egypt, images of tombs covered with hieroglyphs opening at the hands of Victorian explorers often come to mind, revealing "remarkable things" — as Howard Carter described when he first saw the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become exclusive to wealthy Europeans? And what can be done in the future to restore justice and agency to the country where this science originated? In the book "The Future of Egyptology," Dr. Monica Hanna presents a comprehensive vision of Egyptology as it should be; a science not limited to the brilliance and grandeur of the Pharaohs, but also aiming to connect the ancient world with modern Egypt, and to recover its lost treasures. Dr. Monica Hanna calls for Egyptology to only progress if its connection to its past filled with practices of plunder, racism, and Eurocentric views is broken. The book "The Future of Egyptology" offers an exceptional and impactful journey into the future — through the gateway of ancient history. Author: Monica Hanna Published by: Diwan Publishing
