The first part of most days involves processing artifacts at Hatshepsut’s temple. Each piece must be catalogued, which includes taking measurements, capturing photographs, and recording information about its location on the dig site. She sometimes spends her afternoons on other sites. Her working video log (working vlog) offers us insight into how historians study our past.
During her non-working hours, she visits the local sights to learn even more about the area’s history. If you are considering a career as an archaeologist or a trip to Egypt, this is an excellent resource. While she doesn’t give away all the secrets, she gives enough information on each site to make you want more.
As she goes about her days, you can see the expression of joy on her face. To be able to live and work in your dream world must be fantastic. As she records videos about things like hieroglyphs, she explains how to read them. She offers examples and describes how the order of the ancient language is integral.
Some of her videos examine things that were common in ancient times but are now considered unusual. If you like gossip, she even takes the time to spill some of the tea discovered by archaeologists in Egypt.
