Very nostalgic to be back at the University of Birmingham today. A peaceful morning stroll before presenting at the #ImageAndAuthority workshop.

We are starting with this #ancientEgyptian #Saqqara #relief from the #Tomb of Akhethotep, dated to the Old Kingdom, Dynasty 6.

Beautiful weather with scattered showers led to this amazing little one waking up for its journey. It reminds me of my writeup progress over the past couple of weeks. However, sometimes we need to move slowly to achieve great distances. #snailspace #snail #nature #phdwriteup #phdlife #garden

‘Spreadsheets of empire’: red tape goes back 4,000 years, say scientists after Iraq finds Ancient Mesopotamian stone tablets show extraordinary detail and reach of government in cradle of world civilisations

These new documents from Girsu (written on clay, of course, not stone as the URL suggests) sound fascinating! The scribes "note absolutely everything down. If a sheep dies at the very edge of the empire, it will be noted. They are obsessed with bureaucracy.”

Manufacturing Technology: Firing as an Integral Component in the Production of Cuneiform Tablets from the Amarna Archive This article explores the technological processes involved in the production of the Amarna tablets, focusing on firing temperatures associated with these cuneiform artefacts. Building on the extens...

What role did firing play in the production of cuneiform tablets? This technology varied depending on the place of production and the intended purpose of the tablet. #cuneiform #Assyriology #AmarnaLetters #ArchaeologyofTexts #IANESPrague www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Really, the Uluburun ship's inventoried cargo reads like the lists of royal gifts from the #AmarnaLetters - correspondence between Egyptian administration and its representatives during New Kingdom):

☑️ copper & tin ingots
☑️ glass ingots
☑️ ebony
☑️ ivory
☑️ jewelry
☑️ weapons
