Total Solar Eclipse Captured From the Middle of the Ocean
In June of 2009, a rare total solar eclipse blanketed certain portions of the planet in total darkness. Czech photographer Miloslav Druckmüller traveled to the middle of the Pacific ocean to the Marshall Islands to capture the incredible event.
To create the photos above, he compiled over 40 images shot from two different cameras.

Where do you study Egyptology at? It sounds such an interesting topic. I have been interested in Egypt since I was about 8. I'm currently studying for A-levels and looking at university.

You and me both! I was interested in Egypt even before I could read, and I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else but studying it. I know I whine about it at times, but I really love Egyptology more than anything.
Anyway, I study it in Leiden, the Netherlands. :) I take it you’re from the UK? I know they offer Egyptology in Liverpool, Cambridge and Oxford, but that’s as far as my knowledge goes.
Came for the fellow Egyptology nerd status stayed for Sonja being awesome :)
Woohooo I’m awesome <3

Could add Faulkner’s MEg dictionary (that seems almost synonymous with Gardiner in my dept!) or Baines & Malik Atlas of Ancient Egypt? (See I didn’t suggest my advisors book!) I know both of those books were essential 1st year reading for us.
Yikes, the only excuse I have for forgetting the Atlas in that list is that it’s not actually in my collection at the moment, I loaned it to one of Mike’s pupils. But you’re absolutely right!

It’s a favourite of mine. You’ve got a fascinating read in store. :)
Awesome, definitely looking forward to that. Summer is my Read More Egyptological Books season.

This is a really great list! Though I’d add Hornung, “The One and the Many” s essential reading on religion, myself. :)
There you go, anon!
I haven’t read that one myself yet, going to pick it up when I’ve money to spend again. :3
