Friends of ASOR present a webinar on September 15, 2022 at 6:00pm EDT by Prof. Kara Cooney and moderated by Prof. Sarah Parcak. In an era when democracies around the world are threatened or crumbling, Egyptologist and best-selling author Kara Cooney examines our modern obsession with ancient Egyptian kingship and especially figures like Tutankhamun, the perennial star of international blockbuster exhibitions. She seeks to understand why the many so often give up power to the few, and what this can mean for our future. This lecture will reveal how the pharaohs and their process of divine kingship can tell us much about the world’s politics, past and present. Every animal-headed god, every monumental temple, every pyramid, every tomb, offers extraordinary insight into a culture that combined deeply held religious beliefs with uniquely human schemes to justify a system in which one ruled over many. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Sarah Parcak (University of Alabama at Birmingham).
