Spheres of interest: ancient Egypt, history of Egyptology and other oriental studies, early travellers to North Africa and the Middle East, Napoleonic history, ancient Romans.

Started by contributing to a small number of pages on Egyptology (a.o. Saqqara, Tutankhamun) in Dutch and English (2009-2010). I studied Egyptology (MA, Leiden University, 1997). It is tempting to become very active on ancient Egyptian topics in Wikipedia, an area which still needs much improvement (content, structure, consistency, spelling, ...). Instead, I've chosen to focus on history of Egyptology and related fields.

When contributing to Wikipedia in one language, I try to take corresponding articles in other languages (Dutch, English, to a lesser extent French and German, occasionally Italian) and relevant Wikidata items into account as well.
