Egypt

Bloomsbury Summer School

The annual ruthless plug for my friends at the Bloomsbury Summer School, which is held in London, U.K.

News from Bloomsbury Summer School from Lucia Gahlin

Amidst much excitement we launched Bloomsbury Summer School in Egypt this year, and within no time at all our 2009 course (in Minya, on Amarna, directed by Barry Kemp) sold out. But the good news is that we are re-running it in December and there are still places on it.

If you are interested in combining visits to the fascinating sites of Middle Egypt with a course taught solely by Barry Kemp, visit:

Our summer courses staged in London in July are just as exciting (well almost!). There are still places left on all 8 courses:

Fauna of Ancient Egypt with John Wyatt.

Technology in Ancient Egypt with Dr Ian Shaw and Dr Paul Nicholson.

Hieroglyphs for Beginners with Dr José-Ramon Perez-Accino.

From Tanis to Alexandria: the last millennium of pharaonic history with George Hart.

Ancient Egypt and Nubia: a dynamic relationship with Dr Robert Morkot.

Beyond Words and Images: reading and writing Egyptian literature with
Dr José-Ramon Perez-Accino.

Flinders Petrie and his Heritage: exploring the Petrie Museum II with
Jan Picton.

Discovering the Peoples of the Levant: Canaanites, Israelites and Philistines with Dr Rachael Sparks.
