EEF NEWS is an email newsletter posted on the EEF mailinglist. It appears
every week, on Thursday. Below you'll find the website version, which is also
renewed after every following weekend (usually on Sunday evening).
For subscription to the EEF, the
moderated scholarly mailinglist for mainstream Egyptology, see http://www.egyptologyforum.org or the link at
the end of this page. The EEF list also has a Weekly Digest option (meaning
you'll get the EEF NEWS email on Thursday and one digest email of gathered
regular mails on Sunday).
Major news items which are of obvious interest for the list as a whole (like
first-hand announcements of discoveries ad excavation reports) are best posted
directly on EEF; smaller news bits (like announcements of lectures, website
updates/reviews, email address changes etc.) are good candidates for being
bundled in EEF NEWS.

An oddly shiny surface and unusually preserved nose led some to dismiss it as fake when it appeared at auction in Gloucestershire, UK, in 2022, after 40 years in a private collection. In fact, the 24cm bust dates from the reign of Amasis II (570–526BC) and attributed to a sculptor known as the Greywacke Master after the stone from which it is made. It is thought to have come from the Temple of Neith at Sais, Egypt. However, it was given a “nose job” by 18th century Italian craftsmen attempting to restore the badly damaged face and then painted over in later years. (..)" With photos. [Next three items submitted by Michael Tilgner] * Press report: "The eruption that shaped the Aegean world occurred before Pharaoh Ahmose unified Egypt and ushered in its age of splendor" URL "A pioneering radiocarbon study dates key Egyptian objects and reveals that the catastrophic Minoan eruption of Thera occurred before the reign of the pharaoh who unified Egypt, disproving a famous theory that linked it to the “Tempest Stela.” (..) After a meticulous search, they obtained permission from the British Museum and the Petrie Museum in London to analyze three sets of key artifacts: a mudbrick from [the Abydos Temple of] Pharaoh Ahmose (..), a linen cloth of Queen Sitdjehuti (..), the aunt of Pharaoh Ahmose (..), wooden statuettes (“shabtis”) from the 17th Dynasty (..). (..) The dating of this [brick's] straw, and that of one of the wooden statuettes (UC 40179) linked to a mayor of Thebes who served under Ahmose, firmly point to what Egyptologists call a “low chronology” for the beginning of the New Kingdom. This means that Ahmose’s reign began later than some historical theories suggested—around 1539 B.C. instead of around 1580 B.C. (..)" -- Spanish version: URL -- The original research article [in Open Access]: Hendrik J. Bruins, Johannes van der Plicht, "The Minoan Thera eruption predates Pharaoh Ahmose: Radiocarbon dating of Egyptian 17 to early 18 Dynasty museum objects," in: PLOS ONE, vol. 20, no. 9 (2025), published online September 10, 2025 URL "(...) Comparing our uncalibrated dates of 17th and early 18th Dynasty objects with a robust series of uncalibrated radiocarbon dates for the Minoan Thera eruption, it becomes clear that the two data sets have a different time signature. The Minoan eruption is older than the reign of Nebpehtire Ahmose (..). Our calibrated results support a low chronology for his reign and the beginning of the New Kingdom. Previous radiocarbon dates of king Senusert III support a high chronology for the Middle Kingdom. Therefore, the Second Intermediate Period, sandwiched in between these united Egyptian Kingdoms, embodies a significant time interval, as also indicated by Chris Bennett’s genealogical studies of the El-Kab governors."

Egyptian medicine taught that an entombed woman faced a biological barrier to rebirth. The ancient Egyptians believed that in human reproduction it was The Man who created the fetus, and transferred it to the woman during intercourse. This ultimately made rebirth impossible for a woman alone. To overcome this perceived problem a priest ritually transformed a woman's mummy into a man long enough to create a fetus. The ritual for this transformation required representing a woman with red skin on her coffin--- the color normally assigned to a man. Furthermore, artisans inscribed the coffin with spells that addressed the woman in masculine pronouns for a priest to recite. The use of "male" color and strategically inflected language had the power to change her gender in the coffin. A woman later returned to her original female state and incubated herself for rebirth into the afterlife as a woman. (..)" URL URL info: English press report at URL "(..) The show demonstrates this concept with a coffin from the museum’s collection (around 1292-1190 BC), which portrays the deceased with male skin (conventionally red) on the coffin’s exterior—addressed by four gods using a masculine pronoun—and with female skin (conventionally yellow) on the mummy’s mask. Around 25 objects from the museum’s collection are on view, including pieces never before exhibited, like a collar with Atum, a male god who created the world all on his own. There is also a statuette of Atum holding his erect phallus in his hand, which is a feminine word in Egyptian. “This is the way [he created the world]—quite literally, masturbating,” Bleiberg says. Other objects, like two wooden statues, show that females are once again treated as women when they enter the afterlife, despite their portrayal with male attributes on their coffins. There are also statues of Osiris and Isis. (..)" URL info: English press report at URL f) Tampa Museum of Art Cornelia Corbett Center, 120 W.
