Current Research in Egyptology 2021 cover

Current Research in Egyptology 2021 presents papers from the Twenty-First Annual Meeting of the international postgraduate conference Current Research in Egyptology, held online by the Department of Mediterranean Studies of the University of the Aegean (Rhodes, Greece) on 9-16 May 2021. Almost 100 participants from institutions all over the world presented their insightful research on a wide range of topics regarding all periods of ancient Egypt. Fifteen Egyptological and Papyrological papers are published here, which investigate a great variety of issues, including social and religious aspects of life in ancient Egypt, ritual and magic, language and literature, ideology of death, demonology, the iconographical tradition, and intercultural relations, ranging chronologically from the Prehistoric to the Coptic period. The wide chronological and thematic scope of the book reflects the multifaceted, interdisciplinary and innovative character of modern Egyptology.

‘Both volumes are very well edited, in a similar style and layout. … Overall, the volumes provide a fascinating insight into scholarly research underway on a large variety of different topics related to ancient Egypt in all of its aspects and periods. Hence, thy offer a significant means to keep a finger on the ‘Egyptological pulse’ and stay up to date with current quality research at a postgraduate level.’ – Filip Coppens (2024): Ancient West and East Volume 23
