Conference News: Egyptian symposium in Toronto
Heritage Key (Owen Jarus)
Owen Jarus promises a detailed report on the symposium but in the meantime he has bullet pointed some of the key points of interest. There are several fascinating items but the one that most interested me were some of the results of work carried out at the Seila pyramid and the discovery that it was not a step pyramid. It only stands around 7m high today.
Others might be more interested in the idea that Akhenaten was a pacisfist. See the above page for brief details.
