At our April meeting (Sunday 6th, ONLINE via Zoom), Dr Nicholas Brown will give a talk on "The Valley of the Kings: Its Life and Afterlife".

The Valley of the Kings is arguably one of the most famous archaeological sites in Egypt. For nearly five hundred years, the area was used by the kings of Egypt, their family members, and certain elite courtiers as a sacred necropolis during the New Kingdom (ca. 1550-1069 BC) (1/3)
