Why do ancient Egyptian mummies continue to captivate our imaginations? In this fascinating lecture, Dr. Steve explores Western civilization’s centuries-long interaction with Egypt’s human remains, tracing how cultural attitudes toward mummies have shifted over time.
Discover how mummy-related folklore still influences our modern world, and get a rare look at unpublished images of some of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs—along with exclusive, behind-the-scenes photos of 4,500-year-old mummies recently uncovered during Dr. Steve's own excavations near the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of history, archaeology, and culture.
Presented by Dr Steve Ph.D. Egyptian Section, University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
