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.

Abydos
Egypt’s First Pharaohs and the Cult of Osiris
David O’ConnorAs both the burial place of the first pharaohs and a cult center for the god Osiris, Abydos was of immense importance to the ancient Egyptians for thousands of years and continues to yield spectacular discoveries. However, no full analysis of the site has been written in the last thirty years. Here David O’Connor provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of the site’s extraordinary history, as well as telling the story of his own excavations there. O’Connor himself has made some of the most remarkable finds of recent years, including a royal burial consisting of a fleet of fourteen boats, buried far out in the desert. This beautifully illustrated and authoritative book fills a significant gap in the literature on ancient Egypt and will be of interest both to students and to anyone who ever wondered about the origins of one of the greatest civilizations in world history.
