Enjoy a trip back in time to explore one of the most fascinating and influential periods of ancient history with Egyptologist Dr Campbell Price.
In this captivating talk, he will explore the lives of the pyramid builders, the power of the Pharaohs, the complexities of the hieroglyphic writing system, the meanings behind the ritual of mummification and the functions of Egyptian art. He will also talk about the legacy of Tutankhamun and Cleopatra and how the colonial nature of archaeology shapes our understanding of ancient Egypt
