SUMMARY:Book Talk with Sam Kean
DESCRIPTION:Parthenon Symposium: Book Talk with Sam Kean Author of Dinner with King Tut\nMonday\, May 4\, at 5:00 PM Central \nJoin author Sam Kean for a firsthand account of his adventures in experimental archaeology while writing Dinner with King Tut: How Rogue Archaeologists are Re-creating the Sights\, Sounds\, Smells\, and Tastes of Lost Civilizations. \nIn his most recent book\, Sam Kean joined experimental archaeologists across the globe to fire medieval catapults\, perform surgery and tattooing with ancient methods\, build Roman-style roads\, play ball like an Aztec\, and feast Egyptian-style. These eccentric-sounding adventures are part of a serious undertaking—an attempt to recreate the sights\, sounds\, smells and tastes of ancient cultures. The details of what it was like to live in other times are often forgotten when we study history through famous monuments. As the world’s only full-scale replica of the ancient building\, Nashville’s Parthenon serves as a suitable backdrop for an immersive look at ancient cultures. \nRegistration on Zoom required: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rAnKC38dQfKMmGOSJo39JA#/registration \nFollowing this talk there will be an in-person discussion (author joins virtually) on Monday\, May 4\, 6 PM.
