KMT: A Modern Journal of Ancient Egypt
This American publication has appeared quarterly since Spring 1990 and has featured contributions from many eminent Egyptologists. Articles are fully referenced.
My contibutions are listed below:
ARTICLES
‘Hidden in Plain Sight: The facts Surrounding the Burial of Unknown Man E’, KMT 10.1 (Spring 1999), 68-76. This remains the most comprehensive coverage of the reports on the strange, contorted mummy Elliot Smith listed as Unknown Man ‘E’.
‘The Discovery of Hatshepsut’s ‘Throne”, KMT 13.1 (Spring 2002), 71-77. Discussing the possible provenance of the enigmatic artefact (actually a funerary bed) and the objects associated with it.
‘The Mummy in the Nile’, KMT 13.2 (Summer 2002), 74-79. Amelia Edwards said that her travelling companions, the ‘MBs’ threw the mummy they had purchased into the Nile. Was it a pharaoh from the royal cache? If not, then who was it?
‘Examining the Mystery of the Niagara Falls Mummy. Was he from the Royal Mummies Cache? And is he Ramesses I?‘, KMT 17.4 (Winter 2006-07), 26-34. The mummy returned to Egypt as Ramesses I cannot have come from the royal cache and cannot be that pharaoh, but who is he, and why are his arms crossed like a king?
‘Embalming Caches in the Valley of the Kings’, KMT 18.2 (Summer 2007), 46-53. The recently discovered ‘tomb’ in the Valley of the Kings is in fact an embalming cache. The role of these caches is discussed as are the clues they may offer to the location of associated tombs.
‘Death in the Nile. The Birth of Egypt’s Last God’, KMT 19.2 (Summer 2008). The visit of the Roman emperor Hadrian to Egypt was crowned with tragedy when his favourite, Antinous, drowned in the Nile. Hadrian is said to have been devastated by the loss, but the death was suspicious. Antinous died at just the right place and time to become a new god.
‘The Fury of Amen. The Cursed Play in the Valley of the Queens’, KMT 19.3 (Fall 2008). In 1909 a play was to be staged in the Valley of the Queens in which the heretic pharaoh, Akhenaten, would receive the pardon of the gods. However, the participants were beset with a series of disasters and ailments. Was it the curse of the god Amen?
‘The King is Dead. How Long Lived the King?’, KMT 21.2 (Summer 2010), 38-44. Did everyone really die young in the past? How accurate are estimates of the age attained at death by ancient Egyptian kings and queens through examination of their mummies likely to be, when skilled observers get the ages of British Victorian bodies so badly wrong?
‘The Enigma of Kings Valley Tomb 58,’ KMT 21.3 (Fall 2010), 35-44. How did Kings Valley tomb 58 come to contain gold foil naming Tutankhamun, and Ay as both a private individual and as king? Who is represented by the calcite shabti figure found on the tomb floor? This tomb has much to tell us about events in the Post Amarna period.
