    Join members of the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Research Center for Egypt as they hear from two leading Egyptologists about two different sites. Dr. David O’Connor, Curator Emeritus at the Penn Museum and now a Professor at New York University, talks about “Mysteries of Abydos: Excavating and Saving the Monuments of Egypt’s Earliest Pharaohs.” Dr. Lanny Bell, Brown University, discusses the unpublished Ramesside private tombs at Dira Abu el-Naga South, between Deir el-Bahari and the Valley of the Kings, with his talk, “The Romance of Archaeology—NOT! The University of Pennsylvania Museum’s Theban Tomb Project.”
