"It is an extraordinary moment for Egyptology and the broader understanding of our shared human story."

And that's where she just fell in love with Egyptology, and she becomes the first female Egyptologist.

Professor Larry Barham, from the University of Liverpool's Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology, who leads the 'Deep Roots of Humanity' research project said:

“Empress of the Nile” is about a female archaeologist who broke into Egyptology.

Those efforts are in keeping with a growing trend in Egyptology toward giving Egyptians, once overlooked in the study of their own country’s history, more prominence in the field.
