No prizes for guessing where I'm proud to be from; my interests include (but aren't limited to) ancient and modern history (have a postgraduate degree in Egyptology), technology, and breathtakingly aromatic arabica coffee. Mmmm, coffee!!

My username, Bezapt, is an Arabic language word meaning "exact(ly)" or "precise(ly)". The emphasis is on the second syllable. It's more fun if you say the ZAPT! part with some emphasis.

Why not visit the Egyptology Portal !

Oh, and check out Bookmarklets -really handy!


[edit] Projects

Of late, I seem to be drawn to the idea of writing biographical articles about famous Egyptologists. Recently, I was amazed to discover that Raymond O. Faulkner, whose books are consistently popular amongst students and scholars of ancient Egypt, seemingly had no biographical details up on the web at all (or at least none that I could quickly locate via a few internet search engines). Well at least I can say that that is now remedied! Below is a table of proposed forays into this area. I intend to complete this list in no particular order, or haste!

Egyptologist Biographies
to Create to Expand
Janet Gourlay
Elise Baumgartel Robert Mond
Aylward M. Blackman James Henry Breasted
Arthur Callender Theodore M. Davis
Ricardo Caminos Heinrich Brugsch
Walter Crum Francis Llewellyn Griffith
Raymond O. Faulkner Naguib Kanawati
Hermann Grapow (tr) Victor Loret
Henry Hall Édouard Naville
William Loat Boyo Ockinga
Zaki Saad Kurt Sethe
Henry Westcar Richard Vyse
Zbyněk Žába Herbert E. Winlock

In this project I will be working alongside Wikipedian Markh, who also has a "missing Egyptologists" to-do list.

I've also noticed that scientific journals of Egyptology seems to be a neglected area.. started working on this too (created Category:Egyptological journals page).

And also have found that although several other-language Wikipedia references exist, Google can find none on English Wikipedia about Queen Khentkawes.. this may be remedied soon!
