Reading takes you in all sorts of directions! Today it takes me through this door - the Museum of Archaeology, to learn more about Kathleen Kenyon working in Jerusalem in the 1950s.

Definitely still magic to me. I know there's been some revisions with new archaeology and analysis, but the broad picture is vivid and well argued.

Tutankhamen: Life and Death of a Pharaoh | Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt

I loved this as a kid for some reason, absolutely read it to bits. It was just so magical to me, and amazing to think of these other long ago humans -- especially the details like Tutankhamen and his wife having their miscarried foetuses embalmed like adults. It's projecting a little to imagine their grief, but still...

So anyway, found a new copy, rereading, it's still magic.
