Egypt Extra

So... way back when, when we lived along the Nile, I had scribbled down a number of weblinks and publication titles that came to my attention.

We're in Korea now and I just cleaned out my wallet (American and Thai phone cards, Taiwanese bookstore and restaurant cards, a miniature page of the Koran (that I found on the floor of Trabant chai house, an hour before I left Seattle)... There was also the ticket stub from the Khalil Musuem in Cairo, but there's a whole other story connected with that.

For now, please peruse:

Kmt, A Modern Journal of Ancient Egypt

The Bulletin of the Egyptian Exploration Society

The Giza Archives Project

Cairo Magazine

Egypt Today... with a special mention of an article on the zar, an indigenous healing ceremony that was illegal to perform since Islam forbids the practice of magic. "It's one of the few healing ceremonies performed mainly by women for women in an attempt to pacify the spirits and win some measure of inner harmony."
