EGYPT AT THE MANCHESTER MUSEUM


MAES Lecture 14/4/14: Prof. Rosalie David – The Priests of Ancient Egypt


The next Manchester Ancient Egypt Society Bob Partridge Memorial Lecture will be given by Prof. Rosalie David


The Priests of Ancient Egypt, Practioners of Magic and Medicine


Monday 14th April, 7:30pm

Days Inn, Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3AL
All welcome

The priesthood dominated and permeated almost every aspect of ancient Egyptian society, and yet there have been very few studies of their impact on this civilisation.

Professor David is currently undertaking a detailed study of the priesthood and the contribution it made to life in Egypt, and this lecture will explore one important aspect of the work – how the priests functioned for over three thousand years as the main practitioners of medicine and magic.
