Hi! I'm Merytat3n! Welcome to my user page

• My passion is Ancient Egypt, especially the Eighteenth Dynasty and Amarna Period
• It seems I mostly work on pages about tombs. More generally, I want to help make pages as accurate and well-sourced as possible! I mostly tidy around the edges on pages no one reads
• I dabble in paleontology
• I make mistakes so let me know if I've messed up!
• I'm really shite at using {sfn} and make mistakes all the time
• I am barely literate in Middle Egyptian
• My true identity is ...a covetous goblin!
• My cat's name is Thutmose : 3
