What you can write to us about
The Trust exists because readers send questions that reveal gaps in what is publicly available. An email from a secondary-school teacher asking why the textbook skips the Third Intermediate Period, a university student pointing out a mistranslated cartouche, a traveller who visited Luxor and came away more confused than when they arrived — these are the things that shape what we write next. We want to hear from you, and we take every message seriously.
There are four main reasons people write to us, and we handle each differently.
Questions about Egyptian history
If something on the site is unclear, or if you have a question we have not addressed yet, send it through. Our editorial team reviews all questions and, where the answer would be useful to other readers, we turn it into a new or expanded section. You do not need to be an expert — the more basic the question, the more likely it is that dozens of other people have the same one.
Requests for content
Teachers building lesson plans, researchers looking for a concise overview of a particular reign, museum guides who want a reference they can point visitors to — if there is a period, ruler, site or concept you need covered in more depth, tell us. We keep a running list of requested topics and work through them in order of the volume of requests received. Classroom and institutional subscribers on the Classroom and Institution study plans receive priority scheduling for content requests.
Corrections and fact checks
Scholarship on ancient Egypt moves steadily. Excavations revise dates; new translations adjust interpretations; consensus shifts. If you spot something that looks wrong, outdated or imprecisely worded, we want to know. Please include the page, the paragraph and a reference if you have one. We check every correction flag and, if the change is warranted, update the text and add a note to the page's revision history. We take accuracy seriously enough that we would rather be corrected than be wrong.
Schools, institutions and media
Licensing a section for a printed textbook, using the study guides as part of a structured curriculum, or covering the Trust for a publication — send a message describing what you need and we will respond with the right terms. All content on the site is freely readable and citable for non-commercial educational use; anything beyond that we handle case by case.
Office hours
Our editorial office follows the Egyptian working week: Sunday through Thursday, 09:00 to 16:00 Cairo time (UTC+2). Messages received outside those hours are held and processed on the next working day. Standard response time is two working days from receipt. During university examination periods (typically May–June and November–December) volumes are higher and response may extend to three days — we will let you know if that is the case when we reply.
You can also reach us directly by email at [email protected] or by telephone at +20 2 3338 7150 during office hours.
For teachers
The study guides are structured for classroom use. Classroom and Institution plans include downloadable worksheets and priority support.
Common questions about contacting us
For non-commercial educational purposes — yes, freely. Cite the page URL and "Ancient Egypt Education Trust" as the source. If you need to reproduce large sections in a printed or commercial publication, or if you want to adapt material for a paid course, send us a message explaining the context and we will let you know the terms. We are straightforward about it.
We welcome correction flags from anyone — expert or not — as long as you point to a source we can verify. For guest contributions: we occasionally commission extended pieces from people with a clear expertise (academic, archaeological fieldwork, museum curation), but we do not run an open submissions process. If you think you have something that fits, describe it briefly in your message and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we would publish.
The site itself is designed to be that help — the dynasties, pharaohs and study guides sections cover the topics that come up most in school and undergraduate work. If you have a specific factual question that is not answered there, send it through and we will do our best. We cannot write your essay for you, but we can point you to the right part of the site or suggest a further reading source.
Use the form below and select "Free Reader" from the plan dropdown (it is the closest option for a general site issue). Describe the page and what you found. We check these and fix them usually within one working day.
