The war of Russia against Ukraine is also a war against a culture, and for this reason it affects even a small subject like Egyptology. Twenty-four authors from eight countries have come together to contribute to a volume that intends to display our solidarity with Ukraine and to make plain that all of us seek actively to sustain cultures – in our case the understanding of that of the Nile with its more than three millennia of history – through engagement and shared conversations. By means of this joint undertaking we wish to counter brute force with the self-evident necessity of cultural exchange, both in our field of study and beyond.
