Zoom into Middle Kingdom Egypt: Lecture 1 - Kingship Transformed
Event Information
Event description
First lecture in a series of five about aspects of Middle Kingdom Egypt (2030 - 1650 BC): Transformations in Kingship
About this Event
Spanning the 11th until 13th Dynasty, the Middle Kingdom is greatly overlooked but it is a time of innovation and transformation.
This lecture will consider how Kingship evolves during this epoch. It is here we see the first monumental building programme at Thebes, the creation of a new capital in the Fayium, a re-establishment of pyramid building and a female pharaoh rules!
