Egyptology has been changing. At least in the way its practitioners present their findings to a broad public audience. A selection of recent publications for general-interest readership represents something of a reorientation of perspectives on the (Western-led) archaeological ‘discovery’ of Pharaonic Egyptian remains, and the opening up of a subtle counter-narrative, which is something of an anti-archaeology. Rather than attempting to reconstruct what might positively be said of ancient events, their causes and motivations, Egyptologists are increasingly owning up to what is not known or what happened in the aftermath of the ‘main event’ that conditions the nature of the evidence we have at our disposal.

埃及学一直在变化。至少在它的实践者向广大公众展示他们的发现的方式上是这样。为普通读者选择的近期出版物代表了对（西方主导的）考古学“发现”法老埃及遗骸的某种视角的重新定位，以及一种微妙的反叙事的开启，这在某种程度上是一种反考古学。埃及古物学家并没有试图重建对古代事件、其原因和动机的积极评价，而是越来越多地承认未知的事情或“主要事件”之后发生的事情，这些事件决定了我们所掌握的证据的性质。
