Yes, these are all real and they all came from Deir el-Medina, the village for all the artisans who worked on the Valley of the Kings tombs and nearby temples #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #ancientegypt
I FINALLY made it over to the Mithraeum! I’ve been trying to get here for a few years but just never had enough time on layovers. This is such a fantastic space and a fantasic way to allow visitors to learn & engage with an archaeological site. I’m obsessed with the light “walls”. 10/10 highly recommend. #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #london #romanempire #travel
It’s tike for everyone’s favorite triangles! We had an absolutely perfect day for seeing pyramids, sphinxes and everything in between. Come enjoy this close up of the Great Pyramid. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #ancientegypt #pyramid
When in the Valley of the Kings, always pay extra for the bonus tombs and make sure to see the tomb of Seti I if you can. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #ancientegypt #valleyofthekings
Replying to @Conniesuer #greenscreen We have those! And based in what we have/know and the confrxt in which these were found, it seems likely that these weren’t game pieces. It’s not impossible though! #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #mystery #ancienthistory #games
#greenscreen All the information on the single example of Cleopatra’s handwriting we have and how+where to download the hi-res scan! #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #cleopatra
#greenscreen Please enjoy these delightful examples of pottery vessels with little feet. That’s it. That’s the post. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #ancientegypt #ancienthistory
It’s Valley of the Kings time and for the first time ever, I bought the extra ticket to go see KV65, the tomb of Tutankhamun. It’s so much smaller than I imagined! #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #ancientegypt #tutankhamun
#greenscreen This is so dumb. If you want to come see this stuff up close IRL, join us in October for the next trip to Egypt. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #ancientegypt #tutankhamun
Valley of the kings hot tip: always pay for the bonus tombs! We got to see the join tomb of Ramesses V and VI which is directly above the tomb of Tutankhamun. #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #egypt #ancientegypt #valleyofthekings
Everyone’s favorite ancient Yelp review and the so very not cursed royal board game, 2 of the many great items from Ur. If you want to learn how to play the game there’s a great video on YT. #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #ancienthistory #mesopotamia
Even though the famous bust of Nefertiti is in Berlin, there’s still a few pieces here in Egypt from the same workshop. Enjoy! #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #ancientegypt #nefertiti
#greenscreen Here are just 5 in a very long list of real archaeological mysteries! #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #mystery #discovery #ancientegypt #ancienthistory
And of course we can’t have a Luxor day without a stop at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut. It’s surprisingly hard to film because it’s always so bright! #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #egypt #ancientegypt #hatshepsut
Someone had asked about ancient fabric and wouldn’t you know it, they had some on display for the current Roman Legion exhibit at the British Museum! The sock is quite famous and the leather shoes are one of the most common finds at Vindolanda thanks to the incredible anaerobic mud there. #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #ancienthistory #romanempire #fabric
Day 4! Valley of the Kings and our first 2 tombs were those of Ramesses IV and IX. Gorgeous stuff. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #valleyofthekings #ancientegypt
More iconic artifacts that came to the BM after the famous excavations of the Royal Cemetary of Ur. If you google it, you can read more about this formative moment in modern archaeology that now makes us want to bang our head against a wall. Penn Museum has a great page about it! #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #ancienthistory #mesopotamia
#greenscreen Its a rare anthropology in the news post! The mandible that is taking the internet by storm is a super cool discovery that will probably tell us some equally cool info about the presence of hominids in what is now Turkey. #archaeologytiktok #archaeology #discovery #fossil #bones
Our optional activity for the trip is a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor, where you can see all the tombs and monuments including Hatshepsut’s temple, Medinet Habu, the Ramesseum and so much more. #archaeology #archaeologytiktok #egypt #luxor #trova
