I am

I explore the stories and systems of ancient civilizations, with a focus on Egyptian history, culture, and symbolism.

My blog is a space for reflections, research, and reaching others who share a love for the past.

Currently, I am deepening my academic journey by pursuing a Master's degree in History at the University of Lisbon Faculty of Letters.
