| Egyptology's demons (British Museum) |
It’s little wonder my archaeological hero Anson Hunter has a
healthy respect for both seen and unseen dangers from Egypt’s ancient past – as this malignant little collection
of underworld demons in the British Museum shows.
Anson has other demons too.
- A fugitive desire for acceptance by Egyptology for his controversial theories, for some kind of validation so that he does not spend his life gnashing his teeth in outer darkness.
- A willingness to experience the ancient sacred in spite of
wrestling with a faith.
- A weakness for the divine feminine and the allure of ancient Egypt.
- A demon of flexibility that gets him into danger and trouble and into dangerous company, including intelligence agencies, fundamentalists (Islamist and Christian), occultists and New Age and New World Order conspirators.
