I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University.  And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.

I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old.  And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you.  I hope to see you soon in this class.  I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.  And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.

I  use a number of primary and secondary materials from experts on the subject of ancient Egyptian chariots and other types of warfare:

1. Chariots in Ancient Egypt: The Tano Chariot, A Case Study by Dr. Andre J. Veldmeijer (Editor), Prof. Dr. Salima Ikram (Editor) - the authors describe the chariot as the racing cars of the ancient world which first appeared in Egypt about 1600 BC.  Chariots, say the authors, quickly became not only the preferred mode of transport for royalty and the elite, but also revolutionized military tactics and warfare.  Both editors conduct research for the Egyptian Museum.

2. Warfare in Ancient Egypt by Bridget McDermott - The author surveys 3000 years of continuous development of arms and armor beginning with the early predynastic culture and ending in the totalitarian state of Egypt's New Kingdom.  
This book developed from the author's thesis on weapons in ancient Egypt.

3. The Chariot in Egyptian Warfare by Troy Fox. The author gives an extensive overview of ancient chariots in an article written for the former Website of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism.
