And now for the promised EEF weekly news:

Following news courtesy of the EEF.

Press article about the supposed interrelations between Ancient Egyptian and Hebrew texts:

Press article about the ancient Jewish colony at Elephantine:
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2004/713/he2.htm

Both good articles by Jill Kamill. Read the whole things.
