Gale Digital Scholar lab allows students the ability to uncover new historical connections to King Tut’s tomb
A major archeological discovery made nearly 100 years ago now appears in a whole new light for researchers and the curious public.

A major archeological discovery made nearly 100 years ago now appears in a whole new light for researchers and the curious public. Tutankhamun Centenary: 1922–2022 showcases groundbreaking Digital Humanities (DH) research. By using tools to make previously inaccessible collections accessible, masters and undergraduate students created Tut Talks. In the collection are Howard Carter’s private papers featured in The Times of London.
Dr. Sarah Ketchley, project sponsor, and affiliate instructor, at the University of Washington Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, says;
“There has long been a wealth of information on the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, but it was not aggregated, curated, or highly accessible until relatively recently, when archives such as the Griffith Institute in Oxford, U.K., started putting material online. The Tut Talks DH project is not only important due to its interesting subject matter; it also highlights the critical role DH plays in academia to connect our understanding of the past, present, and future.”

All about the Divine 42 Laws of Ma’at
The 42 Laws of Ma’at are known as The Negative Confessions or The Declaration of Innocence.
The ancient Egyptian goddess Ma’at from The Old Kingdom played a significant role in the law, religion, and cosmology of ancient Kemet (Egypt). Traditionally, Ma’at is depicted as feminine with an ostrich feather on her head and sometimes with wings. Her ostrich feather represents truth, morality, justice, balance, and harmony.
Ma’at is the principle governing all aspects of life, society, and the Universe. She is the daughter of the Sun God Ra and the wife of Thoth, the God of Wisdom. The ancients believed Ma’at was the force keeping the universe balanced. By doing this; society, the Pharaoh’s ruling of the land, and the afterlife were all able to function correctly.
