"Ancient Egypt" is a magazine that deals with the subject of Egyptology. It is published bi-monthly.Ancient Egypt magazine is pitched somewhere between an academic journal and a travel magazine - bringing the spectacular sights of the ancient world together with the latest archaeological discoveries and theories from the world's leading authorities on the subject, illustrated with numerous photographs.
Published bi-monthly in the UK, it now in its eighth year of publication. The contents concentrate mainly on a wide range of subjects related to ancient Egypt, though it does occasionally include items on Coptic or Islamic Egypt and also items of interest to visitors to Egypt.
Edited by Egyptologist Robert Partridge, Ancient Egypt seeks to explain the mysteries of this ancient civilisation in a concise manner.
The magazine doesn't just deal with the past, but has a correspondent in Cairo who provides updates on the latest travel information and assesses the impact Egyptology has on modern Egypt.
There are extensive listings of Egyptology societies in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
The magazine is of interest to anyone who wants to study the subject further or become involved in Egyptology. It provides contact details for all the many Egyptology Societies in the United Kingdom and a number of overseas societies, including the United States, Canada and Australia. Full details are given of lectures and events in the UK.
In each issue there is a large section devoted to reviews of the latest books and internet material as well as recommendations for further areas of study. Egyptology is now a core subject on the UK's national curriculum and each issue features an article on a subject suitable for younger readers.
