Hi every one on Friday attended a seminar in York given by three speakers from Egyptian Exploration society. the theme being amarna. The first speaker was Aidon Dodson who set the scene of the move from thebes to the wonderful city of Amarna . He showed photos of Aknaraten with his wife Nefertiti and their little girls. certainly a first in Egyptian art. It seemed to me to iddlic!!!! almost as though Aknaraton had a P.R man and was presenting to the people what he wanted them to see . The next speaker talked about our perception of the royal couple and how little is actually known about them.
Knew this was on the way so got another bottle of wine and am now headed for my favorite chair again. Thank you ladies. This is such a treat for this old woman.
Hi
Problem with first conference report.
gives this message.
http://www.egyptological.com/2011/09/awt-conference-2011-glass-faience-and-pottery-making-at-amarna-paul-nicholson-5685, and it doesn’t exist.
Hi. Yes, sorry about this. It was published by accident before it was completed and has been withdrawn. It will be published in the next couple of days when it is complete. We got a little carried away with the preparations for tomorrow’s edition!
Best
Andie
Outstanding job! Very proud of both of you ladies. Thank you for this and all future editions. I’m so excited, printing everything and going to curl up in my favorite chair and maybe have a glass of wine, or 2, and read, read.
I hope that you enjoy it, Alice. And the wine too! :-)
Just want to thank Andie and Kate for this wonderful site.
