H969: Revolution, Religion, and King Tut: The Fall of Egypt's 18th Dynasty in Rainstorm Summer 2025 (Jul. 26 - 27, 2025)

This course will give an overview of the Amarna Period: a thirty year span at the end of the 18th Dynasty where Ancient Egyptian art, religion, and politics were rapidly transformed, only to be just as rapidly restored and all evidence erased. Inhabiting this period are some of the most dynamic personalities of ancient Egypt, including the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, the beautiful and mysterious Nefertiti, and, of course, the famous Tutankhamun. Along the way we will learn more about how ancient history is uncovered and studied, and the tools historians use to make sense of the past.
