Loyola hosts prestigious national lecture on ancient Egypt
Loyola University New Orleans
Loyola University New Orleans welcomes Stephen Harvey, Ph.D., to present the Michel and Nelly Abemayor Lecture in Egyptian Art and Archaeology on Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. “Before the Valley of the Kings: Egypt’s last royal pyramids” takes place in Miller Hall, Rm. 114, on Loyola’s main campus.
The Abemayor Lecture is given annually at an active society of the Archaeological Institute of America in order to promote a better understanding of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Harvey, who is the director of the Ahmose and Tetisheri Project in Abydos, Egypt, will explore the construction and purpose of rock-cut royal tombs at Abydos that depart from the better known pyramidal forms found at Giza and in the Valley of the Kings.
