Hatshepsut: The Woman Who Ruled as Pharaoh

Description

Register and join art historian Denise Laurin on Zoom for a journey to ancient Egypt. Cleopatra may be the most famous woman of the time, but far more significant and controversial was Hatshepsut, a rare female pharaoh who presided over Egypt from 1479 to 1458 B.C.E. Her unorthodox reign was fully accepted by a flourishing Egypt in the midst of the golden age of the New Kingdom, with expanding trade routes and some of the richest artistic creativity in the country's history. Learn about this fascinating and powerful woman, her magnificent mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri, and the rich artistic production she inspired at the Temple of Luxor.

This event will be recorded and available to view for 1 week after the event.
