Online course: Ancient Egypt in 50 EES Objects
This 10-part course, the first in our online course programme, introduces the material culture of Pharaonic Egypt through 50 key objects unearthed during excavations sponsored by the Egypt Exploration Fund (later Society) and now in museums around the world. Organised chronologically, lectures will address the development of important concepts and trends in surviving material from tombs, temples and settlement sites. The course is based on artefactual evidence, investigating how that material came to be displayed in museums and with a critical assessment of ways 'Ancient Egypt' is reconstructed from a series of disparate traces. No prior knowledge of Egyptology is required.
