Hello everyone, Dominic here.

This week I released an interview with Professor Kara Cooney of University of California, Los Angeles.

I released the interview in three separate episodes because our conversation moved around three distinct areas.

However, if you would like the full discussion in one go, here it is.

Enjoy! If you would like the full discussion in one go, here it is. Enjoy. Hello everyone, and welcome back to the History of Egypt podcast.

This is an interview episode in which I speak to Professor Kara Kuhni.

Kara, or Kathleen Kuni, is a professor of Egyptian art and architecture at the University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA.

She is also the chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA, and

is active in both the academic and public archaeological communities.

Professor Cooney specializes in several historical fields.

Most notably, she investigates funerary practices

in ancient Egyptian society. Under this umbrella, she examines funerary crafts and craftworking,

tomb building and tomb robbery, reuse of sacred spaces, artistic trends, reception history,

and patterns of change in ancient tastes.

Kara also studies socioeconomic systems and the structure of ancient Egyptian society.

This is a small drop in the bucket of her work, but it is a major part of her academic research.

Kara Cooney also works in the public field and is a well-known figure in television documentaries.

She has published two trade books, one about Hatshepsut called The Woman Who

Would Be King, and one about Egyptian royal ladies, called When Women Ruled the World.

Both books are available now, and you will find a link

to Kara Kuni's website where you can purchase them. Both books are available now from Professor

Cooney's website. Link in the episode description. I sat down with Professor Cooney to discuss
