"New Discoveries in the South Temple of
Senwosret III at Dahshur"
with Dr. Adela Oppenheim
 This
talk will discuss the different elements of
the South Temple’s decorative program in an
attempt to understand the meaning of the
structure and the possible motivations for
the reduction of the traditional pyramid
temple and the introduction of a seemingly
new temple type. Senwosret III’s South
Temple appears to be a pivotal monument
signaling important changes in ritual and
religion that likely were further developed
during subsequent eras. |

The American
Research Center
in Egypt (ARCE), the Northern California ARCE Chapter, and the Ancient
Art Council of
the Fine Arts
Museums of San
Francisco are
pleased to
present an
afternoon with
Dr. Aidan Dodson
in celebration
of the 100th
Anniversary of
the discovery of
the tomb of King
Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun:
from Zero to
Hero
This lecture
will trace how
Tutankhamun came
to be written
out of history
soon after his
death, and then
how the earliest
Egyptologists
began to piece
together
evidence for his
existence, and
some of their
theories as to
his identity and
place in events.
We then trace
the events that
led up to the
discovery of his
tomb in 1922,
catapulting the
king from
obscurity to
universal fame.

At the time of Ramses the Great, magical
practices for the protection of the dead and their empowerment
in the Duat (the Egyptian Otherworld) were central in the
ancient Egyptian society. Royal, elite, and non-elite tomb
walls, coffins and other funerary artefacts were decorated with
images and texts describing the daily journey of the sun god Ra,
the rebirth of Osiris, the god of the dead, as well as the
transfiguration of the deceased in an akh (effective
spirit). By analyzing those sources as well as some of the works
of art included in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Ramses
the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs exhibition at the de
Young Museum, this lecture will present an overview on the
ancient Egyptian funerary religion and literature of the
Ramesside period through the imagery of the Beyond originated
from the creativity of theologians, priests, and scribes of the
time.
