Robert K. Ritner Jr., eminent Egyptologist and beloved teacher, 1953–2021
The longtime UChicago professor is remembered for his impact on the study of Egyptian religion, as well as his ability to make complex topic
University of Chicago News

In case anyone was interested, or I have Egyptologists here who didn’t know already, Dr. Robert Ritner has died. He’s the academic who wrote the book ‘The Mechanics of Ancient Egyptian Magical Practice’ which I have consistently, over the last year, provided to people asking about 'magic’ and religion in Ancient Egypt. He was The Guy for this topic, and it’s an incredible loss.
