My Journey to Ancient Egypt

Welcome to MyAncietEgypt, your portal to the fascinating world of ancient Egypt! I’m Merideth Sweeney, the founder and curator of this website, and my passion for this bygone era stems from a spark ignited in 1978.

A Lifelong Fascination Begins

As a child, I was captivated by the treasures of King Tutankhamun’s tomb during a traveling exhibition in New Orleans in 1978. The sight of that intricately decorated sarcophagus left an indelible mark, igniting a curiosity about ancient Egypt that has only grown stronger over the years.

Education

My academic background may seem far removed from the pyramids and hieroglyphs. While my studies in healthcare administration and health sciences instilled in me a meticulous approach to research, it was ancient Egypt that truly captured my imagination.

Experience

My quest for knowledge about ancient Egypt has been fueled by extensive reading and research. I’ve also been fortunate to travel to Egypt itself, where I stood in awe before the عظائم (ʿaẓāʼim) – the great monuments like the pyramids of Giza and the majestic temples of Karnak. These experiences have given me a deeper appreciation for the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient Egyptians.

Sharing the Wonders of the Ancient World

My goal with MyAncietEgypt is to share my passion for this incredible civilization with you. Here, you’ll find informative articles, analysis of archaeological discoveries, and travel guides focused on historical sites. Whether you’re a seasoned Egyptology enthusiast or simply curious about this captivating culture, I hope MyAncietEgypt will be your gateway to the wonders of the ancient world.

Fun Facts & Upcoming Projects

Did you know that the ancient Egyptians believed cats were sacred protectors? There’s always more to learn about ancient Egypt, and that’s what keeps me so fascinated. I’m currently working on a new section of the website dedicated to daily life in ancient Egypt and I’m always seeking new ways to share my knowledge.

Join me on this journey of discovery as we explore the mysteries and marvels of MyAncietEgypt!
