Visitors and students of Egyptian temples are familiar with their core components: vast enclosure walls, towering pylons, elegant hypostyle halls, and dark sanctuaries. But many of these well-known temples have features which are less frequently seen by the average visitor - some tucked behind walls, others buried right beneath your feet, and even a few hiding in plain sight! This lecture will give a short introduction to a few of these eclectic elements from a handful of temples in Upper Egypt.

Kelly Accetta Crowe holds a Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology and Art History from the University of Virginia, a Master of Philosophy in Egyptology from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD in Archaeology, also from the University of Cambridge. Her dissertation was entitled “Thresholds of the Gods: Doorways and Movement in New Kingdom Theban Temples”, in which she explored the connection between the construction and decoration of doorways and their perceived and actual usage. Whilst doing her doctoral research, she spent much time in Luxor documenting and studying the doorways in situ, as well as consulting with the missions working on the temples in order to better understand how modern reconstruction and interpretation has physically altered the ancient structures. In the field, Kelly has worked with the Middle Kingdom Theban Project, the Amarna Project, the New Kingdom Research Foundation, and the Deep History of the Asyut Region project (British Museum). Kelly currently works at the British Museum, where she was the project curator for the 2022-2023 “Hieroglyphs: unlocking ancient Egypt” exhibition and is currently developing Egyptian touring exhibitions.
