Join Thomas Greiner, Phd Candidate, University of Toronto, for a fascinating boat tour of ancient monuments and temples including the pyramids at Giza. We will explore the Giza plateau and its pyramids, sail upstream to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and learn how craftspeople and commoners once lived. We will even take a sacred pilgrimage to Abydos to visit the great Temple of Seti I and finish with a visit to Denderah, one of Egypt’s best preserved temples. You will marvel at what these monuments look like millennia after their construction, and also consider the current challenges and opportunities that face these ancient wonders.
Tuesday January 3rd, 3:00-5:00pm in the Community Room.
