Very appropriate socks for our visit to Bubastis and Tanis yesterday as @theees.bsky.social Lost Cities of Lower #Egypt tour went to the eastern delta. Very soon we’ll be heading off to the Faiyum to end our journey!

Pop by if you can from 3pm. As well as the live demonstration at 5.30pm, we'll also be asking you to help us find Quacksenamun who went missing in the shops of Lamb's Conduit Street! You can ask us about Egyptology and why @theees.bsky.social is based around the corner in Doughty Mews.
