After taking early retirement from a career in finance I was able to
indulge my interest in Ancient Egypt by studying Egyptology
at the University of London where I was awarded an MA in
2012.
I have had two books published:
What Did the Poor Take With Them?
which
is an academic treatise on Ancient Egyptian grave
goods.
“Understanding Ancient Egypt” which is
a more accessible introduction to the subject, suitable for
anyone with a general
interest in this ancient civilisation. A second
edition of this book was published in 2023.
I am proud to be an accredited lecturer for the Arts Society
in the UK and Australia, and a Guest Speaker for several
cruise lines. My subjects are the history, people and
culture of Ancient Egypt and other civilisations of Europe,
South America and Australia.
I
developed a keen interest
in maritime history and now also have talks on piracy in the
Caribbean and the South Seas.
