Hi, I'm Chris. I'm an archaeologist now in the cultural heritage sector. I'm currently working on a project based in London that is tracking, identifying and repatriating looted and stolen Egyptian antiquities.
Alongside this, I focus on Late Antique religion and Philosophy in the MENA/SWANA region. My Masters was in Egyptology & Middle Eastern Heritage at UCL and my research interests are around the archaeology of magic, the antiquities trade in the Middle East, and especially the reception & exchange of religious manuscripts and papyri.
Here I mostly discuss philosophy and theoretical approaches to the study of esotericism and religion, especially Neoplatonism & Hermetism, but also ways of approaching magic and religious practice in the material record and with anthropological models.
