Slovene-language episode. Dušan Rebolj, a Junior Researcher with the Department of Philosophy at the Faculty of Arts, interviews Jan Ciglenečki, an Assistant Professor of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, and a co-founder of the Faculty of Arts' Centre for Middle Eastern Studies. The topic is the history of Egyptology in Slovenia: its origins in the archaeological work of the Austrian-Slovene consuls of the Habsburg monarchy, its gradual development during the Yugoslav and post-independence periods, and its current state. It is a story of amateur beginnings, slow institutionalisation, and exciting future prospects.
