MAPPING THE SPHINX
Mark Lehner knows the Great Sphinx better than anybody. For over five years he mapped it—by hand. In the process, he discovered the answers to the big questions surrounding the Sphinx. Now that historic archive of maps, photos and notes is online—and free for you to study in amazing detail.

Dr. Nicholas Reeves—the Egyptologist whose theories launched four years of probing and debate—has released new evidence to support his original conclusions: that Tutankhamun’s tomb hides the untouched burial of Nefertiti.

ANCIENT NUBIA NOW
For more than 3,000 years, a series of kingdoms flourished along the Nile Valley. It wasn’t Egypt.
This is Kush, known today as Nubia. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is showcasing its incredible (and dazzling) collection of Nubian artefacts, and asking why it has taken so long for Nubia to tell its own story.

UNDERSTANDING (AND MISUNDERSTANDING) HIEROGLYPHS
How the knowledge of understanding ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs was lost, then misunderstood, before being discovered.
