‘Reconstructing ancient Egypt’ discusses the challenge of reconstructing ancient Egypt. New paradigms have been adopted by different generations of Egyptologists, gradually transforming the accepted picture of ancient Egyptian culture. Moreover, new methods, such as innovative excavation techniques or sophisticated processes of scientific analysis, have, at various times, altered people's perceptions of the surviving evidence from ancient Egypt. An important question to ask is: what can geology and archaeology reveal about the origins of the Narmer Palette? The discoveries of the Avaris frescos and the Amarna Letters, as well as the excavations of Flinders Petrie, are all important parts of this history.
