LUNCHTIME LECTURE

The First Pharaohs of Egypt

by Professor Aidan Dodson FSA

Egypt was unified around 3100 BC, and the following five centuries – the first three dynasties – saw the establishment of most of the key facets of the Egyptian state, which would endure for three millennia. This lecture gives an overview of not only what we know of the history and monuments of this formative era, but also the way in which succeeding Egyptian generations remembered their remote ancestors, and how the period was rediscovered by modern archaeology.

 

Professor Dodson delivered a lecture for the Society in 2020 on Nefertiti: Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt, the first in a series of books he is writing. You can catch up on this lecture below.
