egyptology

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'science of antiquities' is the definition.
'Egyptology' can be an answer for 'science' (Egyptology is an example). I'm not sure about the 'of antiquities' bit.

'funny googly type' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'googly'+'type'='googlytype'
'googlytype' anagrammed gives 'EGYPTOLOGY'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
