Latest Ancient Egypt Events at University of London
A Study Day presented by Joyce Filer BA; Dip. Arch; M.Sc; M.Sc(formerly Curator of Human & Animal Remains, Dept. Ancient Egypt & Sudan, British Museum, London)
University of London, Hughes-Parry Hall (Garden Halls), 19-26 Cartwright Gardens, London, WC1H 9EF
Mysterious mummies and luxurious tombs and temples - these are what many people might associate with ancient Egypt. Yet this civilisation, so devoted to the peacetime activities of religious pursuits and building works, was also involved in many military campaigns! We are fortunate in that the ancient Egyptians have left us a huge amount of artistic, biological and textual sources informing us about these combatant activities: who they fought, why they fought and where these events took place.
During this fully illustrated study day we shall examine many aspects of military life in ancient Egypt, including:
- weapons, tools & equipment
- different types of military activity
- war injuries & medical treatment
- the life of the ancient Egyptian soldier
We shall examine a selection of famous ancient Egyptian battles and discover which Pharaohs were victorious and which were not! Additionally, a specially designed study display will give you the opportunity to examine source materials for yourself and test your skills of analysis!
The Study Day is aimed at Adults. Children of secondary age need to request permission from the Organiser. Cost: £40
ADVANCE BOOKING REQUIRED:
