Bulletin of the Egyptian Museum (Volume 6)

This volume of the Bulletin, a journal that publishes scholarly research on all periods and aspects of ancient Egyptian art, museum objects and collections, conversation, and museology, is dedicated to the late Mohamed Ahmed Mohsen, who served as the general director of the Egyptian Museum from 1987 to 1992. He also participated in many international museum exhibitions, including those showcasing the treasures of Tutankhamun in London in 1977, and Ramesses II in Canada, in 1985. He was an active archaeologist, working in Saqqara and Tell Basta. The contributing articles include recent studies on the controversial cuts on King Tutankhamun’s chest wall and heart; the transcription, transliteration, and translation of a false door from the tomb of Qdw; a preliminary report for a reference catalog on the stelae and other inscribed objects from Deir al-Medina; and the latest findings on the coffin and mummy found in Dahshur North in 2005 by Wased University.
