Article about John Sarr and his love for ancient Egypt.
"Sarr is perhaps Portland's most enthusiastic scholar of ancient
Egyptian culture and language (..), one of those fabulous Portland
examples of someone who has figured out how to carve a
fully formed second life from his spare time."
"Sarr will give a lecture on the Portland Art Museum's
collection of more than 1,300 scarabs at 2 p.m. Feb. 11 in
the Fields Sunken Ballroom; $5 members, $10 non-members,
www.portlandartmuseum.org or 503-226-0973. "

Lengthy article about the resettlement plans for Qurna

Subject: Amenemope Dissertation address changed
A number of Egyptological web sites have links to the online
text of my doctoral dissertation, "The Instruction of Amenemope:
A Critical Edition and Commentary--Prolegomenon and Prologue".
The dissertation has recently been moved to a new location, and
the old web address will be going away soon, so all links should
be updated accordingly.
The OLD link was:
