Featuring Carl Graves ‘ e Lady that led to Tutankhamun: e Life and Legacy of Amelia Edwards’. It is fair to say that without Amelia Edwards, Howard Carter may never have begun his career in Egyptology and subsequently never led the team that discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. But Amelia’s legacy stretches far beyond the boy king and continues to play a role in the development of British Egyptology from nostalgia all the way to the next generation. As we come to the 140th anniversary of Amelia’s founding of the Egypt Exploration Fund and 130 years since her passing, this talk will re ect on Amelia’s life and legacy. Together, we’ll unpack some problematic aspects of her work, as well as contemplate the events of her own life and how they led to her becoming ‘ e Godmother of Egyptology’. Carl Graves is the Director of the Egypt Exploration Society and has worked there since 2013. He gained his PhD from the University of Birmingham in 2017 on the subject of Middle Kingdom landscapes of the Nile Valley and previously spoke to Southampton Ancient Egypt Society about the relationship between Egypt and Nubia.
