Despite appreciating the opportunities she has had in Australia, papyri researcher and restorer, Arzak Mohamed, says she will eventually return to Egypt to share her knowledge with university students there.
Key points:
- Arzak Mohamed received funding from the Egyptian government to study dating and documentation of ancient papyri.
- The aim of the research is to identify, date and validate texts, and understand the role of environmental and technological change in making these papyri.
- Ancient Egyptians, according to Ms Mohamed, were also pioneers in recycling.
