Sussex Egyptology: New Kingdom monuments lectures in Horsham

Hatshepsut's mortary temple, Deir-El-Bahri

The well-known Egyptologist, Professor Aidan Dodson, who's work has appeared in many publications and whom is often on TV, is coming to Horsham to deliver two exciting lectures: The Funerary Monuments of Hatshepsut and Senenmut and The Modern Resurrection of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut.

Aidan will be joining Sussex Egyptology Society in Horsham on Saturday 24th February to tell us about will the unique aspects of these monuments - the funerary temple of the female Pharaoh Hatshepsut and her chief architect (or maybe lover?), Senenmut, with Hatshepsut's terraced temple at Deir-El-Bahri and Senenmut's nearby temple, with it's astronomical ceiling.

Aidan will go on to examine how, despite being forgotten in antiquity, the names Hatshepsut and Thutmose III live on - especially after the decipherment of hieroglyphs led to a greater understanding of their place in ancient Egypt.

No need to book – simply turn up and pay on the door. 2 - 4:30pm on Saturday 24th February at the Business and Enterprise Centre, Forest School, Comptons Lane, Horsham, RH13 5NT. Cost £5 (refundable against membership fee if you join the Society). For more information please see: http://www.egyptology-uk.com
