Sussex Egyptology: New Kingdom monuments lectures in Horsham
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.
