An introduction to the archaeology, art, and architecture of ancient Egypt, encompassing a roughly 3500-year period, from the Pre-Dynastic period to the period when Egypt was occupied by Greeks and Romans. Through a focus on material remains, the course illuminates the culture of ancient Egypt, including its religion, politics, and other socio-cultural practices. It also examines the reasons for Egypt’s timeless appeal, from the Roman Empire to resurging Egyptomania in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that had considerable cultural influences.
