A Short History of Mummies in Video Games with Kate Minniti at HpH 2024

Dr. Kate Minniti presents a preliminary overview of her work on Egyptian mummies in video games based on a sample of ~210 titles spanning from 1979 to 2023. She showcases how mummified creatures are represented, in which genres they appear more often, and what role they play. In doing so, Dr. Minniti hopes to shed some light on how mummies have been transformed both into dehumanized monsters and immediate signifiers of ‘Egypt’ in video games. --- Kate Minniti has a PhD in Classical Archaeology. She is also an avid gamer, and since 2013 has been exploring how video games portray archaeology and the past. From 2020 she has been participating in panels and conferences on the reception of antiquity in video games, and has been hosting weekly archaeogaming streams for the Save Ancient Studies Alliance.
