Flinders Petrie - Egyptology's Problematic Fave

Описание: Flinders Petrie is one of the biggest names in Egyptian archaeology, and he's a controversial figure with good reason. In some ways he is the pinnacle of the problematic Victorian 'gentleman scholar'.

Yet there are positive aspects of his legacy, as he set standards for the scientific rigour of archaeology that are still (mostly) upheld to this day.

You can learn more about the commendable 'Papyrus for the People' project here: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/culture/project...

And if you want a look at some of the items in the Petrie Museum's extraordinary collection, and don't mind a bit of a learning curve where its search function is concerned: https://petriecat.museums.ucl.ac.uk/

Look out for a new Armchair Egyptology video every Wednesday.
