The story of Senenmut, the highest official under the female pharaoh Hatshepsut, usually ends with the damnatio memoriae it is often assumed that he shared with his royal mistress.
However, more than most elite ancient Egyptians, Senenmut made extensive plans for his eternal commemoration – and seems to have enjoyed an enduring reputation in some quarters long after his death. This lecture reviews the evidence for the legacy of Senenmut, in both ancient and modern times (2/4)
Dr Campbell Price has been Curator of Egypt and Sudan at Manchester Museum since 2011, and he has published widely on ancient Egyptian material culture and its interpretation. His new book The High Steward Senenmut: His Life and Afterlife will be published soon (3/4)
This will be a Zoom meeting with Q&A afterwards. Admission from 2.45pm UK time, the talk starts at 3pm.
Free for EEG Zoom members, £6 for guests (via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-afterlives-of-senenmut-dr-campbell-price-tickets-1674499355649?). All welcome!
