Explore the ancient world with a 45-minute gallery talk in the Oriental Institute Museum. Travel to a time and place beyond the University to learn about archaeological discoveries, unlock the secrets of civilization, and gain a greater appreciation of our ancestors.
Join the Head of the Research Archives, Foy Scalf, PhD, for a discussion about the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead. His talk will focus on what this “book” was, what it wasn’t, how it was used in funerary ritual, and its relationship to the contemporary literature of its time.
