200 years of Egyptology: the good, the bad and the ugly

Renowned Egyptologist Dr Chris Naunton explains what Egyptology has taught us about the ancient past, but also how its darker, colonialist side might help us to do things differently in the future.

Dr Chris Naunton is an Egyptologist, writer and broadcaster. He is the author of Searching for the Lost Tombs of Egypt, published by Thames & Hudson in 2018 and Egyptologists’ Notebooks (2020). He has presented numerous television documentaries, including The Man Who Discovered Egypt (BBC4 2012), Secrets of King Tut’s Treasures (Channel 5, 2018) and Egypt’s Lost Pyramid (Channel 4, 2019). He was Director (CEO) of the Egypt Exploration Society from 2012 to 2016 and President of the International Association of Egyptologists from 2015 to 2019.
