Launching our Annual Fund

The ancient city of Amarna continues to transform our understanding of how human society has developed. Not only was it home to the heretic king Akhenaten, his wife Nefertiti and their son Tutankhamun, it remains one of the world’s pre-eminent archaeological sites for understanding how people lived in the pre-Classical world. Its exploration has given us masterpieces like the bust of Nefertiti at the same time as providing a deeper understanding of what it was like to be an ancient Egyptian.

This year we are celebrating 40 years of continuous work at Amarna. To celebrate this milestone, and with so much left to do, the Amarna Trust (set up in 2005 to support work at the site) is embarking on an ambitious fundraising campaign to support archaeology at Amarna into the future. Come and join us in this adventure!
