Each year, the Oriental Institute at UChicago offers assorted courses on ancient languages, history, and anthropology that I can recommend. During graduate school, I took language courses with Foy Scalf, Brian Muhs, Tasha Vorderstrasse, and Susanne Paulus.

Here is an online exhibit about the Egyptian Book of the Dead, curated by Foy for the OI.
