The three day Egypt symposium, last weekend in Toronto, yielded a number of interesting finds. As Heritage Key has reported, researchers unravelled evidence showing that the husband of Djedmaatesankh, a mummy in the Royal Ontario museum, is now located in Chicago.

Also, a large amount of info was presented on the discovery of an Amarna era fortress at Tell el-Borg. A detailed article on this can be seen here. 

Another key piece of research, released at the symposium, is an excavation project at the Seila pyramid.

The Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities, and the Royal Ontario Museum, kicked off a three day symposium in Toronto.

I’m going to be filing more detailed blogs at the end, once I have the time to do a proper write-up of all the research.

For now here are some news-briefs that I want to fill you in on.

-The Seila Pyramid is flat! No – it is not a step pyramid. It is a true pyramid. Professor Kerry Muhlestein of Brigham Young University, presented the latest research.

A team of engineers, using GPS equipment, completed a 3D model of the pyramid recently. Combined with (unpublished) excavation results it is now clear that it is not a step-pyramid.
