"Ramses Square ... has made the name of Ramses II synonymous with overcrowding and pollution…"
So I have a draft of my #BritishMuseum exhibition catalogue essay on what #Pharaoh means in #Egypt now.
A topic I came to through a short book on a film, Shadi Abdel Salam's #TheMummy.
It was published as an #academic paper but it's really #autotheory/ #memoir/ something.
Here's a short piece on it on #Mubi:

Below is the very cool still they included:
