Note about the GraphicsTry the Egyptian Scavenger Hunt
Chat with Katherine Griffis, a noted Egyptologist. She will be available to answer questions starting around 10:45. Here's how she introduces herself:
I began the study of Ancient Egypt when I was around
12 years old, when I checked out a copy of the "Tomb of Tutankhamen" (Howard
Carter) from the "adult" side of the library where I lived....I have been
hooked ever since...when in college, I began my study of the ancient hieroglyphics
from the teaching of a brilliant Biblical scholar who knew at least 5 archaic
languages, including cuneiform, Akkadian, Sanskrit, and ancient Hebrew, as
well as Egyptian hieroglyphics...
Since the mid-1980's, I have served as a consultant in ancient Egyptian
History and Culture to museums and educational institutions, and my work
ranges from translating hieroglyphics for archaeological expeditions to
authenticating artifacts of unkown origin that have been held by private
collectors and recently given to either a museum or educational institution.
(The oddest job I ever did was translate some words into hieroglyphics for
the rock group, ZZ Top!!)
I have traveled pretty extensively in the Middle East, and speak Arabic,
German, some Hebrew, (and presently working on Spanish). I am a member of
the American Research Center in Egypt, one of a few professional organizations
dedicated to the study of ancient, Islamic, and modern Egypt. My training
is in Law and International Relations, and, as I had prepared for US Department
of State work, I have extensive experience in cultural issues of many lands...and
presently consult with companies, government, and other organizations in
securing international business opportunities, either at home or abroad...
Write your name in hieroglyphics!
