Brief description: Anthony Spalinger is Professor of Egyptology (Ancient History) at The University of Auckland. He received his PhD from Yale University (Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations) under William Kelly Simpson, specializing in Egyptian military inscriptions. Subsequently, his research orientations have centered upon historical aspects of the New Kingdom, especially pharaonic Egypt's interconnections with Western Asia, but also have branched out independently to include the calendrics of ancient Egypt.
