Lecture tour: BSS in Egypt - Exploring Amarna


As usual I'm using my owner's rights to break my own rules and plug a tour/lecture meeting. operated by Lucia Gahlin and the Bloomsbury Summer School. This one is a bit special partly because over 50% of the profit is going to the Amarna Trust. Thanks to the October tour/course they will be able to give the Amarna Trust nearly £4000. October was sold out but there are some places left for December if you're interested.

30 November – 7 December 2009
BSS in Egypt presents:
Exploring Amarna: Akhenaten's Abandoned City?
A tour of Middle Egypt combined with a course taught by Professor Barry Kemp.

Bloomsbury Summer School offers you an innovative opportunity to study the history, culture and archaeology of Tell el-Amarna in Middle Egypt, with morning visits to local archaeological sites (including two visits to Amarna) and afternoon lectures given by Professor Barry Kemp, Field Director at Amarna since 1977.
