Meretaten

An open door to an ancient world

Meretaten is an independent journal about ancient Egypt and material culture. We begin with objects and the questions they invite, using museum and university resources to make a thoughtful first encounter possible.

Our name is a doorway into a broad historical subject; this publication is not a biography of one royal figure. We have no affiliation with a museum, archaeological project or previous operator of this domain.

Read our editorial approach for how we handle sources, uncertainty and illustrations.
