Pharaohs, Priests, and Peasants
X123.3 (3 semester units in Anthropology)
This course is an introductory survey of ancient Egyptian history and culture. Drawing upon archaeological materials as well as rich literary, religious, and historical texts, we begin with the pre-dynastic period and end with the early Roman times. Students study major social and political events and explore all the facets of everyday Egyptian life. Delve into famous sites and royal tombs, understand iconography and funerary beliefs, and consider vast changes in Egyptian civilization over four millennia.
