negative impact of change, the course also takes a very positive stance,
showing how change provides the opportunity to improve skills, service
efficiency, motivation and self worth, and how these may best be harnessed
during and beyond the organisations transition.

| NEFERTITI |
EGYNEF |
£195 |
| $365* |
| €285* |
|
The seventeen-year reign of Akhenaten
and his wife Nefertiti, commonly known as the Amarna Period, with its
unique artistic and religious conventions, has attracted more words and
attention than any other period in Egypt’s history, some of questionable
even dubious nature.
Nefertiti’s infamy comes to the
general-public via her portrait bust found in the remains of a royal
workshop at Tell el-Amarna, Akhenaten’s new capital. Bizarrely, for such a
high profile royal figure virtually nothing exists of Nefertiti’s origins.
We know that she supported her husband's religious revolution; appearing
prominently at her husband's side in reliefs found at Tell el-Amarna and a
faithful follower of his new cult, and is thought by some to have adhered
to the new cult of the sun god Aten even after the king’s death. Yet
without doubt the most contentious subject of the Amarna Period and the
cause for so much heated scholarly debate - how a queen of Nefertiti’s
political and religious standing could apparently disappear completely
from archaeological records. Topics covered within this course include:
A brief overview of the religious
rise to prominence of the solar cult,
The role of Amenhotep III,
Examining the proposed theories of Nefertiti’s origins,
Her foreign descendency,
Family relationships,
Akhenaten’s artistic revolution,
The evolution of Nefertiti’s imagery,
Examining Nefertiti’s religious role at Amarna,
Her prominence at the Hwt-Ben Ben,
The Gem-pa-aten colossi,
Nefertiti’s political role,
Examining her "equal" status to Akhenaten,
Discussing her choice of headwear,
Nefertiti’s sudden disappearance,
Examining previous conspiracy theories that include murder and
homosexuality. |

| TUTANKHAMUN |
EGYTUT |
£325 |
| €485* |
| $585* |
|
King Nebkheperura Tutankhamun remains
perhaps the most famous of all the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, but in fact
he died young and was a fairly insignificant ruler during a transitional
period in history. Indeed, little was known of him prior to Howard
Carter's detective work in the Valley of the Kings, but the discovery of
his tomb and the amazing contents it held ultimately ensured this young
king the true immortality he sought.
Now the subject of a major museum
exhibition, this course charts the life and times of Tutankhamun, from boy
to king, and the significance of his burial treasures and the events and
culture to which they relate. Topics covered within this course include:
SECTION A:
Tutankhamun - his
life and reign
King Tutankhamun was, until the discovery of his magnificent tomb, a
fairly insignificant and little known king from the transient times of the
18th Dynasty. Surviving evidence indicates that he succeeded Smenkhkare
and was the last of the true line of Amarna pharaohs. He grew up in the
royal palace at Akhetaten, but during his reign power was switched away
from the city of Akhetaten back to Thebes.
It is very likely that Tutankhamun
had very little real power at this time. He grew up and spent his
childhood at Akhetaten, where the only worship would have been of the Aten.
For this reason he would probably have had little experience of the other
traditional gods. It is likely that after the death of Akhenaten, the
priesthood would have welcomed a return to the old ways and traditions,
and used this opportunity to regain the lands and power they had lost.
Tutankhamun would thus have been under very intense pressure from many
quarters in order to fulfil the wishes of the priesthood and state.
SECTION B:
The hunt for, and
discovery of the tomb
The story of the hunt for the tomb of Tutankhamun is a long and
complicated one involving much scientific research, and more than a little
luck. Theodore Davis had long sought the tomb of the missing pharaoh, who
was mentioned in inscriptions. At one point a small hole was discovered in
the Valley of the Kings containing some storage jars and flower garlands.
The jars bore the name of Tutankhamun, a clue that perhaps there could
still be an intact burial in the royal valley.
In section B we follow the early search for the last remaining tomb, that
of Tutankhamun. Carter had a plan of the valley on which he marked all
the spoil heaps and cuttings made by previous excavations, he thought it
was possible that the missing tomb could lie under the mounds of rubble
and stone chippings left behind. The excavations began, and soon some
workmen's houses were uncovered, suggesting anything underneath might
still be
untouched since the tombs in the valley were cut. By an amazing stroke of
luck when the first hut was removed a stone step was uncovered, then
another, until a flight of steps was cleared, leading down to a sealed door. On
this door were the marks of the necropolis guards, and the cartouche of Tutankhamun.
SECTION C:
The treasures of
Tutankhamun
Within section C, we look at the principal treasures within the tomb. The
burial was not intact when it was found. Howard Carter believed it had
been robbed perhaps twice, shortly after the funeral. Only the burial
chamber itself was untouched. Most of the small portable items included in
the burial had been removed in antiquity. This included much of the
jewellery except that found on the mummy itself. The chamber itself was
full of treasure however, from the famous funerary mask of Tutankhamun, to
the gold inner coffin, both stunning examples of the ancient goldsmith's
art. A vast collection of fabulous artefacts, including furniture, all
with their own beauty and story to tell, we examine their beauty and
construction, usage and significance.
