"No One Should Brave the Underworld Alone":
Traversing Eternity in the Age of Ramses the Great

Ramses II reigned during one of the most fascinating periods of political and military history
in
the ancient world. However, less well known are the tremendous changes
that occurred in the
realm of Egyptian religious thought during the Ramesside Age.
In this lecture, we will
explore labyrinthine maps of the Egyptian cosmos and their bewildering
menageries of gods
and demons, the damned and the blessed dead, as found in the royal tombs
and temples of
Egypt's Nineteenth Dynasty. We will seek to uncover the meaning
behind these mysterious
works of ancient cosmology, as we explore the dread paths
of the Underworld, which Ramses the Great hoped to travel for eternity.

This program is supported by Elizabeth Moyer, PhD, and Michael Powanda, PhD; 

Bernard and Jane von Bothmer, in honor of the late Bernard V. Bothmer;

and Sheila Wishek.
