SUMMARY:The Last Human
DESCRIPTION:WINNER OF THE NORDIC:DOX AWARD 2022\nDenmark\, Greenland / 2022 \nOur most basic understanding of the origins of life was recently turned upside down when Greenlandic scientist Minik Rosing discovered the first traces of life on Earth in a small fjord near Isua\, Greenland. His discovery predated all previous evidence by over 300 million years. Life began in Greenland. At the same time\, its melting ice masses are disintegrating day-by-day\, and scientists around the world agree that it could drown our entire civilization if it continues. \nDirector Ivalo Frank’s new film is a tribute to a vast\, scenic country caught between two extremes: the beginning and the end of life on Earth as we know it. Frank’s film is anchored by an encounter with a group of children from the village of Kangaatsiaq who fall in love\, form friendships\, and struggle with loss and longing.\nA Q&A with filmmaker Ivalo Frank and Sussi Adelholm\, Head of School in Kangaatsiaq\, Greenland\, will follow the screening. \nFree event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History\, Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology\, and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture \nImage © Kranfilm/Ivalo Frank

SUMMARY:“The View from “Harvard Camp:” George Reisner and the Giza Pyramids then and now
DESCRIPTION:ANNUAL KORSYN LECTURE\nIn-Person Lecture\nSaturday\, March 23 at 3:30 pm EST\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Peter Der Manuelian \nLecture Topic: “The View from “Harvard Camp:” George Reisner and the Giza Pyramids then and now” \nAbstract:\nLeading the Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition\, George Reisner (1867–1942) put American Egyptology on the world stage with forty-three years of breathtakingly successful excavations at twenty-three different archaeological sites in Egypt and Sudan. His uniquely American success story unfolded despite British control of Egyptian politics\, French control of Egyptian antiquities\, and an Egyptian yearning for independence\, all while his Egyptian teams achieved the fieldwork results and mastered the arts of recording and documentation. Reisner’s lifespan covers the birth of modern archaeology\, aspects of colonialism\, racism\, and nationalism\, the history of Harvard and of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston (MFA)\, and the issues of repatriation and cultural patrimony long before they became the “hot topics” they are today. In an illustrated lecture\, Harvard University’s Peter Der Manuelian will recount the life of this uniquely successful\, but also controversial\, archaeologist and Egyptologist\, as he lived and dug at the famous Giza Pyramids (and at many other sites) for more than four decades. This talk will summarize some of the great discoveries\, their archaeological significance\, and some of the fascinating personalities behind the Expedition working at the tombs and temples at Giza. Manuelian will also present virtual and immersive technological experiments for bringing old digs back to life for collaborative research and teaching. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Peter Der Manuelian is Barbara Bell Professor of Egyptology in both the Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and the Anthropology Departments at Harvard University\, and director of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. He was previously on the curatorial staff of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. His Giza Project at Harvard (http://giza.fas.harvard.edu) aims to collect and present online all past\, present\, and future archaeological activity at the Giza Pyramids. His research and teaching interests include visualization and digital humanities approaches to the ancient world. Among his publications are Walking Among Pharaohs. George Reisner and The Dawn of Modern Egyptology; Digital Giza. Visualizing the Pyramids; 30 Second Ancient Egypt; Mastabas of Nucleus Cemetery G 2100; Slab Stelae of the Giza Necropolis; Living in the Past: Studies in Archaism of the Egyptian Twenty-sixth Dynasty; and Studies in the Reign of Amenophis II. He has also written a number of childrens’ books. \n******************\nLectures are FREE to ARCE Members\, $7 for University of Pennsylvania Museum Members and UPenn Staff and Faculty\, $5 for Students with ID\, and $10 for the general public.\nCoffee\, tea\, and cookies served starting at 3pm. \n******************\nThe American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is a private\, nonprofit organization founded in 1948 by a consortium of educational and cultural institutions to support research on all aspects of Egyptian history and culture\, foster broader knowledge among the general public\, and strengthen American-Egyptian cultural ties. The ARCE Pennsylvania Chapter (ARCE-PA) is the local branch of the national institution. We host monthly events including scholarly lectures\, Egyptian-themed workshops\, social events\, and guided tours of the Penn Museum’s Egyptian galleries.
