Elizabeth Anne Frood (born 1975) is a New Zealand-born Egyptologist and academic, who specialises in self-presentation and the study of non-royals.
Following an infection which developed into sepsis, she lost part of her nose which has since been reconstructed, both her legs were amputated below the knee, and the hearing in one ear and the use of her hands was significantly impaired.
[3][4] After returning to work on a part-time basis in 2016, she undertook her first post-recovery fieldwork trip to Egypt in 2018.
[6][7] In 2020 she made her debut as a television presenter for the BBC, with the documentary "Tutankhamun in Colour" broadcast on BBC4.
New colourising techniques were applied to original black and white footage, to explore the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb.
