British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan (BMSAES) Issue 22

Editorial This issue of BMSAES presents results from fieldwork projects undertaken in a broad range of settings: ancient Egypt’s cemeteries (Elkab, Edfu), quarries (Gebel el-Silsila) and desert routes (near Kharga Oasis). Readers are also invited to make a closer acquaintance with three less familiar deities: ‘Amun-Ra, lord of the sky’, the snake goddess Werethekau, and Min, patron of quarrymen.
