Hi! I'm Merytat3n! Welcome to my user page

My passion is Ancient Egypt, especially the Eighteenth Dynasty and Amarna Period. I mostly work on pages about tombs.
I am interested in archaeology, history, and paleontology in general.
I want to help make pages as accurate and well-sourced as possible.
I make mistakes so let me know if I've messed up!
I'm really shite at using sfn and make mistakes all the time
I am barely literate in Middle Egyptian
My true identity is ...a covetous goblin!
My cat's name is Thutmose : 3
