Location: Salón de Actos, Espai la Senieta, Moraira (next to the large free car park)

Subject: From ‘Menes to Apophis: An Overview of Egyptian History – Part One

Lecturer: David Rohl

This presentation will cover the first fifteen dynasties, from the foundation of the pharaonic state to the fall of Avaris and the expulsion of the hated Hyksos foreign rulers. We will, therefore, be journeying in time through the Archaic Period, the Old Kingdom, the First Intermediate Period, the Middle Kingdom, and the Second Intermediate Period. Part Two will then pick up with the foundation of the New Kingdom and take us down to Julius Caesar and the end of Egypt as an independent kingdom. But that will be for the next lecture
