Very good.
Yes, others may benefit from the list. But talk about specialized and esoteric! Most of the articles and books listed there make The Met's publications look like casual reading material.
Speaking of the University of Memphis . . . If anyone else is interested in ancient Egypt, they might be interested in knowing that they do have a collection of Egyptian antiquities there--a museum, I suppose. Unfortunately, I don't know how good the collection is, from personal experience. I lived, for several years, a little less than 2 hours away and one day finally got over there but, as "luck" would have it, they happened to be closed for renovation or something.
UPDATE: Curiosity about the size and quality of the museum's collection got the better of me, so I went to the museum's (they call the facility an "exhibit") webpage (
http://www.memphis.edu/egypt/exhibit/index.php) just now. Prominently shown near the top of the page was this: "The Egyptian Gallery is currently CLOSED for HVAC renovations." The moral of the story: call ahead or, at least, check their website before making the trip!
