ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free presentation, “Ancient Egyptian Architecture”, on Monday, May 6 at 6:45 PM. Egyptologist Sherin Motawea will be the speaker. Ancient Egyptian architecture is not one style, but a set of styles differing over time but with some commonalities. In this lecture you will learn about the different types of architectural elements, how some of them evolved through time, their symbolic meanings, and functions. The lecture will take you on a journey into ancient Egyptian architecture. Replicas will also be displayed to see and touch.
Sherin Motawea is originally from Egypt. She studied Egyptology. In 1998, Sherin obtained her first Master of Arts in Museum and Heritage Studies from the University College, London, U.K. She then became the Head of the Egyptian Museums Department at the Supreme Council of Antiquities under the supervision of renowned Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass. She has led a number of educational programs for all ages in Egyptian museums.
