IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME: FEASTING WITH THE DEAD IN THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EAST


April 8, 2014, through January 4, 2015


All cultures across time have tried to honor and commemorate their dead. The exhibit In Remembrance of Me: Feasting with the Dead in the Ancient Middle East, shows how the living cared for the dead and how the ancients conceptualized the idea of the human soul in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant.

AELT UK

ANNOUNCING AELT 6 (UCL) TO BE HELD ON 22 NOVEMBER 2014

The purpose of AELT is to bring together text-based researchers in Egyptology in the UK and to provide a forum for sharing and discussing ideas, problems and issues.

The intention is to highlight work in progress: we do not aim to publish papers from the workshop, but to provide an opportunity for colleagues to present their research at a working stage with publication taking place elsewhere.
