When mentioning ancient Egypt, images of tombstones covered with hieroglyphics often come to mind. These images were discovered by archaeologists during the Victorian era, revealing “wonderful treasures” – as Howard Carter described when he first saw the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did the field of Egyptology become exclusive to wealthy Europeans? What can be done in the future to restore justice and authority to the country where this science originated? In her book “The Future of Egyptology,” Dr. Monica Hanna offers a comprehensive vision of Egyptology as it should be: a science that goes beyond the glory and greatness of the pharaohs, and seeks to connect the ancient world with modern Egypt, and restore its lost treasures. Dr. Monica Hanna argues that Egyptology can only progress if it breaks away from its connection to a past filled with plundering, racism, and European-centric views. “The Future of Egyptology” offers a remarkable and inspiring journey into the future, through the gates of ancient history.
