Last year I was able to do several weeks of research in the magnificent city of Alexandria. For @fkeshk's "The Place and the People", I wrote a short note about the "hidden hands" in the archives of the Graeco-Roman Museum (1892) of Alexandria. ⏳🧐
Have you ever thought to explore the work of the local labour at the earliest Egyptian Museums? Read "Hands that Excavated a Civilization from the Archives of the Greco Roman Museum" by @gerthuskens , read the full post on our page: facebook.com/permalink.php?s… #Egypt #heritage
