Councillor Russell Oppenheimer, the County Council’s Executive Member for Highway Operations, said: “Managing and improving our highway network is a top priority for the County Council and these schemes will provide long term benefits for residents and road users. It is vital that we do all that we can to keep our 5,500 miles of road in good condition. This is important to enhance the quality of life for those who live, work and visit Hampshire - contributing to sustainable economic growth and social equality by enabling the safe, reliable and efficient movement of people, goods and services. Road condition affects all users including cyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers as well as car users, motorcyclists and freight vehicles. I have asked officers to carefully consider the impact of the individual and combined schemes being delivered in the New Forest area to ensure that disruption and inconvenience is kept to a minimum.” e works taking place in the New Forest and Waterside areas include: • Redbridge Viaduct: these are on-going repairs to the 50 year old bridges that carry westbound tra c in and out of Southampton. Most of the work is being delivered without any impact on tra c ows but there is a requirement for some temporary closures of the A35 to complete the works.

It dates back to the h dynasty, when kings built pyramid complexes and sun temples scattered around the Memphite necropolis. Hetepherakhty held titles of a judicial nature, but as a priest he was also connected to the cult of former kings. His modest sized o ering chapel is decorated with high quality relief decoration. It shows him spear shing in the marshes, inspecting agricultural activities and enjoying a funeral meal. He is surrounded by scenes of shing, fowling, baking and brewing, as well as preparations for his funeral. e tomb was excavated by Auguste Mariette in the1860’s, when a di erent stance was held with regard to antiquities than nowadays. How did the tomb chapel end up in a museum in Leiden? What happened during its long museum history? And how can it be studied using modern technology? Nicky van de Beek is a PhD student at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, where she studies representations of landscape in tomb iconography from the Old to the New Kingdom. She has excavated in Luxor and Saqqara, and loves to wander around these sites with her camera. An EXTRA MEETING will be taking place on Thursday 25th November at 7pm for John Wyatt ‘Herodotus on Egyptian Animals - Fact or Fiction?’ Herodotus has been described as both the Father of History and the Father of Lies. is talk examines his statements on Egyptian wildlife in Book 2 of his Histories and assesses their accuracy as a partial answer to this question. The Society meets at the Oasis Academy, Lordshill, in a comfortable, modern and welcoming environment, with disabled access and ample on-site parking.
