Next Saturday 11th October, I'll be travelling up to Barnsley to deliver a lecture for the wonderful Hapy Egyptology Society. This lecture will be an overview to my work on disability in Ancient Egypt, focusing primarily on what we can tell about the ancient Egyptian's attitudes towards disability.

The Hapy Egyptology Society Attitudes to Disability in Ancient Egypt Born with Cerebral Palsy, Kyle Jordan has been passionate about ancient Egypt from an early age. He completed his masters degree at University College London, where his thesis explored the use and significance of disabled bodies within early societies in Egypt. The many lectures he has given have proven to be thought-provoking, occasionally funny and often moving. The Cooper Gallery in Barnsley Saturday 11th October at 4:15pm A buffet is included afterwards with tea or coffee Tickets are £15 (£14 for members) from the Cooper Gallery. They can be reserved by calling the Cooper Gallery on 01226 775678 or by visiting the Hapy Society website at hapysociety dot org. Cash sales only, please

Amazing artwork by @ciaraioch.bsky.social bringing to life the mythology of Princess Scotia’s journey to Ireland! @issegyptomania.bsky.social

Doodled some new box art in Tralee of Scotia, the Egyptian royal from Irish mythology who, while pregnant, fought in a battle and died just outside Tralee - her grave is said to be marked by a large stone in Scotia's Glen. Thanks @nonfaction.com for coordinating!

Photograph of a utility box depicting an Egyptian woman in Celtic ornaments and a green cloak, holding a spear. Behind her are the pyramids and the Sliabh Mis mountains, and the sea. It reads "Ón Éigipt...Go Ciarraí" and the name "SCOTIA"

This is an amazing read and great to see Dr Hincks get the credit he deserves. As Irving Finkel so eloquently put it, he was ‘a f&€king genius!’

Finally, an article on the decipherment of cuneiform that does justice to the many figures involved, the timeline, competition, and sheer philological grit. Fascinating and colourful synopsis of how we came to be able to read tablets from ancient Mesopotamia www.smithsonianmag.com/history/myst...

A lovely piece by Faith Nolan on one of the first Egyptian objects to enter the @nmireland.bsky.social from the @theees.bsky.social - just one of the many objects from the EES that form the majority of Ireland’s Egyptian collections www.museum.ie/en-IE/Collec...

This is depressing reading on the erasure of humanities at Cardiff - a department that saved me, and my PhD, from another university ruined by cuts in the humanities.

The DESTRUCTION OF THE HUMANITIES at Cardiff University Management seems to think that Humanities scholars don't know how to read statistics Diving into their proposals shows how they are trying to hide the true extent of damage to Humanities disciplines here /1
