Electronic journals are becoming more and more popular means of communication among academics. 'British Museum Studies in Ancient Egypt and Sudan' (BMSAES) is an example of a journal that uses the latest technologies. Its editors have focused on creating a credible and reliable magazine on Egyptology that enables international cooperation between scientists and provides free and current information. BMSAES's idea is also that there should not be any limitations to journal frequency and volume, but it should be possible to include multimedia. To professionally implement those ideas, the editors publish detailed article submission guidelines on their website. The essential issue is the review process - articles are peer-reviewed by the British Museum experts. Apart from Egyptology matters, editors deal also with the electronic journals topic. Until now two articles on that issue have been published. The creators of the journal contribute not only to Egyptology studies, but also spread the idea of creating new scholarly electronic journals.

The exterior surface of the coffin was originally decorated with polychrome painted scenes and inscriptions. While the back side of the mummiform part of the coffin consisted explicitly of the inscriptions, its frontal side contained a rich combination of paintings divided into registers and sections filled with inscriptions written in vertical and horizontal bands. The exterior surface of the lid of the coffin is very badly damaged. Some physical parts of the surface on the coffin are completely missing. This is why the damaged parts were restored in modern times. This paper deals with the basic layout and distribution of the registers filled with scenes and texts on the preserved exterior surface of the front and back sides of the coffin. The investigation is based on an analysis of the preserved parts of the original decoration identified on the exterior surface of the coffin. A more detailed description and analysis of the particular registers filled with the paintings and inscriptions as well as the reconstruction of the original decorative programme of the coffin will be discussed and presented in following papers.

In this paper authors want to report on the appearance of new ancient Egyptian artefacts in a private collection in Slovakia. This collection consists of four pieces of original ancient Egyptian artefacts. They were examined in the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The Egyptological investigation was carried out at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Bratislava and the material analysis of the objects at the Institute of Archaeology in Nitra. The paper publishes the results of their research. The authors comprise various aspects of their investigation including the botanical examination of the wood and the textile composition of the cartonnages. Furthermore, the description and identification of artefacts, their decoration, iconography, transliteration and translation of the hieroglyphic inscription, and the dating of the artefacts are estimated as well.
