Ancient Egypt
Popular histories of ancient Egypt often only explore New Kingdom pharaohs, such as Tutankhamen and Rameses II. This course provides a broad social history, beginning with the roots of Egyptian civilization prior to c.3000 BCE and ending with the Late Period (c.712-323 CE). Through art, archaeology and literature, students will consider changes over time in the political, social, religious, and everyday life of Egypt, as well as its economic and cultural ties with the ancient Near East and Mediterranean worlds.
