Looking for help in Egyptology

[DC]

HI i am looking for help for my sister.
she is working on her Masterwork in Arthistory or so.
Her focus is Childmummy Portraits.
and she would be interested in people knowing alot about it or people knowing the Egyptian time under the Roman empire.

would anyone be intersted in exchanging with her about it? on Skype or similar.
i saw several people are pretty knowledgable on Egyptology here.

thanks in advance.

thanks will forward it to her.

i hope it is a serious forum, it said alternative history

Yes it's a serious one, they have people there who are 'in the business'. It examines claims for alternative history and has a number of professionals and knowledgeable amateurs on it.

A hearty second for the Hall of Ma'at and a plug for another of my favourite sites - touregypt.com.

This page, by Jimmy Dunn, deals with Roman era funerary portrait paintings and while it doesn't contain much information about child mummies it has a nice gallery of funerary portraits as well as a list of reference materials which might prove useful.
