Thank you! Also comparative religion, mostly. A lot of Christianity and Buddhism, as well as the early Egyptian and (Neo)Platonic influence on emerging Christianity.

Early Egyptian ? ..... Old Kingdom ? and NeoPlatonic .... excellent . I look forward to it .

One of my areas is probably contemporary to old Egyptian ; tracking Buriyat Siberian Shamanism (Bo) , after the end of the last Ice Age ( probably from places like Lake Biakal ) down to Central Asia (another area of interest , historically ; BMAC 'lost civilization' ) Intersection with Aryan Indo-Iranian religions , and 'spitting out ' influence after reformation ; west , into Zoroastrianism ( and thence influencing all Abrahamic religions ) and east through Pamirs ( 'Roof of the World' / location of 'Shamballa' ) into ancient 'Tibet' , reforming Bon and south east into Indus Valley - the Vedic influence .... then Buddhism evolving out of that and going back into Bon for a further reformation in Tibet .
