“Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" explores the figures who guided ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. The exhibition focuses on the 18th Dynasty, a 100-year period when Egypt was at the height of its power and the "golden age" of Egyptian artistry. This was the era when Tutankhamun and his ancestors reigned. The extensive array of more than 130 extraordinary artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites features 50 of Tutankhamun's burial objects, including his royal diadem and one of the four gold and precious stone inlaid canopic coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs.

For the Christian, this exhibit provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to interact with Egyptian artifacts from the Mosaic era. These artifacts will help illuminate the Egyptian focus on the afterlife and therefore help frame and explain the biblical perspective. From this exhibit, the Christian should better understand why Egypt, the land of slavery, is called the iron smelting furnace.

Schedule: Saturday, July 10, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM will consist of a lecture, a question and answer session and a light lunch. At 1:00PM, groups will depart for the exhibit in Times Square for a self guided tour.

Location: Redeemer Offices, Main Conference Room (1359 Broadway, 4th Floor, btw. 36 & 37).

Registration is open. There is a $40 fee for this seminar that includes admittance to the King Tut exhibit.
