Seems like Friday is a good day for a puzzle of some kind; so let's keep on, at least through August. The puzzle this week is a crossword based on the novels of Elizabeth Peters, surely one of the most important popularizers of Egyptology writing today. Her novels of late 19th and early 20th century Egyptologists Amelia Peabody and Emerson Radcliffe combine mystery and the history of archaeology, a very pleasing combination indeed.
