Review of BBC1's Egypt docudrama |
Google It! |
|
A review of the first episode of the BBC's docudrama Egypt. The review doesn't read as being that positive but is not entirely negative either. Having been in Copenhagen at the weekend, I haven't seen it myself so cannot comment. I set the video on Friday, and even remembered to adjust for the British Summer Time change, so I hope I managed to video it correctly! I also videoed the Dan Cruikshank Egypt program that followed it on BBC2 and, ahem, Stargate SG1. So that gives me two-and-a-half hours worth of TV to find time to catch-up on. Real pharaoh's curse is that we have to hear story again, The Scotsman, UK, October 31, 2005. |

This weekend sees the start of two new BBC TV series on Egyptology. The first, Egypt, has been getting quite a bit of press due to filming difficulties and budget overruns, whilst the second has snuck in without the slightest mention!

Thutmose or Tuthmosis? |
Google It! |
|
So is it Thutmose or Tuthmosis? Or perhaps Thutmosis or Tuthmose? Randomly picking a few books from the shelf I find that Peter Clayton seems to prefer Tuthmosis, yet Aidan Dodson uses Thutmose, and Regine Schulz Thutmosis. The two exhibitions featuring recreations of T IIIs tomb, at the City Art Centre, Edinburgh and the de Young Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco opt for differing spellings also. So I decided to conduct an experiment of sorts and asked Google what the world ‘thinks’. Here are the results: So there you have it. References , Peter A. Clayton, Thames and Hudson, London, 1994. |

Puntland? |

Whilst trawling the net for Egyptology related articles I came across this useless fact. Punt is now a place again! It's an autonomous state in north-west Somalia. See this Wikipedia article: Puntland and the CIA World Factbook entry for Somalia. It is named after the Ancient Egyptian name for the area which is where Hatshepsut sent her famous expedition depicted upon the walls of Deir-el-Bahari.
