Welcome to CESRAS, the heart of Russian Egyptology!
We hope that you will take some time to explore our                 
extensive egyptological network.  You may download any of    
our images and use them as you like for non-commercial          
purposes.  Our philosophy is to make all research material      
freely available to all people without "red tape". Should you    
publish our material, please tag it "
CESRAS, Moscow" and       
let us know where we can see it. If you use it for                        
educational purposes, we would be very happy to know           
how you use it, and if there is anything more that you need,     
or would like to have for your work or personal study. We        
are here to serve science and friends thereof in any way         
that we can.

Thanks for your visit and do come again soon! There will          
always be something new...

This month we will visit Voronezh, a university city some 600 km south of
Moscow, reached overnight by train. We doubt that many egyptologists have
visited the Egyptian collection in the local art museum. We are presenting the
outer coffin of Nesypaherenhet, mid 21a Dynasty, Thebes, ca. 1000 BCE.; Niwinski
No. 212. This good quality coffin was "conserved" at some unknown time by
covering it with a coat of varnish which has both turned it redish and made it
almost impossible to photograph correctly. Of special interest is the throning
unnamed Goddess wearing the headdress normally attributed to the god Shu.
During your visit to this little known museum you will also find a number of other
interesting objects of various types. We hope that you will enjoy your visit!
