So glad to read this: the Tanis treasures are some of my absolute fave antiquities and that there might be more to uncover is great. Can't wait to see what the newly discovered glyphs reveal. #egyptology

A city in the distance: Helen Maudsley www.themonthly.com.au/june-2025/ar...
I hope Quentin Sprague is writing a full biography on Maudsley
This @themonthly.com.au article pays respect to a living artist who is still largely uncelebrated & certainly deserves to be. #art #paintings #helenmaudsley
A city in the distance: Helen Maudsley
Overshadowed by her more famous spouse, the nearly 98-year-old is a great who has delivered a lifetime’s worth of inquiring, abstract works

This is terrible! As a lover of mausoleums and history, that this could happen in beloved Egypt of all places is heartbreaking! #mausoleum #egypt

End of the road? A motorway threatens Cairo’s ancient necropolis
Cairo’s City of the Dead is the oldest Muslim cemetery in the world – so why is the Egyptian government routing a motorway through the site? Hussein Omar urges them to slam the brakes

I empathise. Similar issue with astonishing cinema artefacts collection and no museum will take the bequest
Kraftwerk’s equipment defined electronic music. Now it’s on sale to the highest bidder
Kraftwerk helped invent modern electronic music. What happens to their legacy when a co-founder’s studio is broken up and sold off?

Great read, but the ALP of today is not that of Whitlam or Keating, and under Albo probably the closest socially to LNP than we have had
Awed Albo abandons republic (and Australia's dignity) in haste to embrace King Charles
Albo's recent meeting with Charles Windsor and avid declaration that Australia would not become a fully independent nation had interesting echoes to the past.
