About Ta-wer Egyptology
Ta-wer Egyptology was founded by Paul Whelan and Jane Hamilton in 2018, initially to run study days. Since then, we have expanded our services to include proof reading, editing, illustration and photography. Paul is now a full time Egyptologist and plans to finish writing his book on Abydos in the near future!
We provide specialised services to Egyptologists as well as organising new and interesting Egyptology courses and lectures in London and online. Paul is an experienced freelance researcher and lecturer, having taught courses in Reading and Oxford as well as speaking at various international conferences.
Everyone is welcome to attend, but some background knowledge of Egyptian history and culture would be useful! We look forward to seeing old friends again and meeting new enthusiasts.
