Friends of Â鶹ֱ²¥ present the next webinar in our monthly series on September 15, 2022, at 6:00 pm EDT, featuring 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.
Join Dr. Cooney as she delves into the stories behind some of the most powerful men in all of ancient history, including Tutankhamun, Khufu, Senwosret III, Akenhaten, Ramses II, and Taharqa, to uncover the lessons their kingships can teach us today. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session moderated by Prof. Sarah Parcak (University of Alabama at Birmingham).
Dr. Kathlyn (Kara) Cooney is a professor of Egyptology at UCLA and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Specializing in social history, gender studies, and economies in the ancient world, she received her Ph.D. in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. In 2005, she was co-curator of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Cooney produced a comÂparative archaeology television series, entitled Out of Egypt, which aired in 2009 on the Discovery Channel and is available online.
Her popular books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt (2014), When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt (2018; winner of Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Nancy Lapp Popular Book award in 2019), and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World (2021). Her books, Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Royal Caches from American University in Cairo Press, and Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions, Exploring Approaches from Routledge are forthcoming.
